Empathetic, Detail Oriented and Swift

I needed help with an incident that greatly impacted my life that also left me with medical bills and health insurance liens that I was not fully aware of. The attorney who assisted me and his staff handled everything with expertise and swiftness. They were also very attentive and compassionate towards me during my distress. They gave my case their absolute best and am I very grateful for their hard work and care. I would highly recommend them to others.

Very profecional

Posted by

Very good, profecional and responsible lawyer. His office was in contact with me every time they had new information. Step by step Mr. Jontiff would explain to me what is going on with my case. I didn't have to wait for years for results. So far from what I hear from other people about their cases Mr. Jontiff is the best.

Very good twice

Posted by

Scott Jontiff has twice helped me in my past. He has been a very good advisor to deal with people and companies including: - insurance company who tries to avoid to pay their uninsured motorist policy (insurance tried to avoid to pay my broken bones expenses, despite Mount Sinai MRI and surgeon statements), - hospital (hospital sending a bill 18 months after service were finished and healthcare provider requested). I would though give one advice to Scott : make his ancillary fees more transparent and reasonable (storing hard copies and records should be inexpensive nowadays). I would definitely advise anybody to go with Scott without any doubt.

I have seen Scott Jontiff in action at the Courthouse many times. He is always meticulously prepared, professional, and persuasive. For serious personal injury and complex tort cases, if you want a personable, ethical lawyer who is not afraid to try cases, Jontiff should be on the top of your list.
