Highly recommend! Knowledgeable, honest and caring.
I just completed a case wherein I had suffered a fall at work. I was not only injured, but suffered sinus issues, loss of work, then lost my job. Mr. Lesser was referred to me by a family friend who is also an attorney. Mr. Lesser saw me immediately, and his Associate Attorney Alicia Zweig met with me as well. Not only did Mr. Lesser call me often to check on my progress of getting well often, they made sure I got the medical care I needed. They constantly kept me in the loop, giving me details on their progress. I mostly spoke with an attorney. As a former paralegal of 20 years, I know that communications go through the attorney's paralegals. Every time I called the office I spoke with someone who had answers for me. I did speak with paralegal Christina, who was not only amazing and pleasant to speak with, but very knowledgeable of my case. I felt like family there. I never felt like a burden, which is so important. Finally, I received my settlement, after Gary and Alicia aggressively pursued the best settlement possible. I was informed how they would call the adjuster daily, sometimes several times a day. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this firm. They really care, respect your wishes and always keep you informed. Thanks Gary, Alicia and Christina!

Thank you, Gary Lesser!
Gary Lesser listened and provided me with honest, caring and diligent advice in my case. We had no idea where to begin. Gary Lesser and his firm contact our doctors, medical providers, insurers involved while I had major surgery and then recuperated from that. Joseph Landy took care of the litigation and helped me and my husband with professionalism and sincere caring. I cannot thank them enough or recommend them more highly.

Highly recommend! - They are very competent, effective and caring.
After my wife was hit by a pickup truck while walking across the street, we were a bit overwhelmed. We were trying to find good medical care, juggling the myriad of confusing medical bills, and dealing with an uncommunicative, pushy insurance company. It was a nightmare. Fortunately a friend recommended Gary Lesser. Gary and his firm were lifesavers. His first concern was my wife’s recovery, and he referred us to very capable medical professionals. He never rushed us into anything, insisting that my wife’s recovery come first. He told us to forward all her medical bills to him, relieving us of a very stressful part of this situation. It was an immense relief to both of us. Gary dealt with the insurance company, the medical bills, and kept us informed of everything, clearly answering all our questions. We highly recommend Gary Lesser and his firm! They are very capable, efficient and caring. We can’t thank them enough for the way they successfully led us through such a difficult physical and emotional situation.

Look no further.
I first used Gary about 17 years ago on a motorcycle accident by a referral. Gary handled everything very professionally from the start and kept me informed from the beginning. Now again I find myself in another situation I needing an attorney. I returned to Gary. Believe me I was very nervous from the first time used him but now I find myself at ease with him. Calls and questions quickly answered by his office. He is successful for a reason.....GREAT WORK!!! I promise you will be happy. Sincerely Ernesto.

Ex- Client
i met Mr. Lesser through my now deceased mom Mattie Cooper. He came as a referral to her. I have never met a more honest attorney in my life. Mr. Lesser has never done anything below character for myself as a client, but he pulled from his personal account when I was awarded less than what he felt I should have been awarded. I will never forget his integrity for someone he barely knew. There is "NO" attorney on this earth who can replace the size of the heart he has behind his chest cavity. I am blessed to have met him and can only say, "it has been an honor and truly a pleasure." Thank you Mr. Lesser for caring.

Trust Gary Lesser to assist your family members in times of need.
I was angry, worried, and confused when my 81 year old grandmother was in an accident. Medical bills were piling up, she was in pain and didn’t have the ability to navigate insurance and doctors. My family put their trust in Lesser, Lesser, Landy & Smith and it was the best decision we could have made for my Grandmother. Gary Lesser took the time to explain everything to us. He worked well with my elderly Grandmother. He was honest, responsive and prevailed in the case. I would recommend Gary Lesser and LLL&S, PLLC time and time again.
