Best attorney
Thanks to Sal and his associates that worked hard and long for me I received a good settlement. I recommend them for any issues you might have. Sal even went out of his way to help me with another issue I had and didn’t charge me for his time on it.

A True Guardian Angel and Legal Ally
After my father was left brain damaged due to a work accident, he helped me navigate the ins and outs of dealing with workers comp. Every time they tried to pull some crap like refuse to pay his caregivers or delay his therapy, Sal got on top of it and made things better. His whole crew was very efficient and personable. He was always available when needed and very good at breaking things down as we jumped from legal hoop to legal hoop. He is definitely someone you want fighting for you.
