Pleasant, professional and personable
As a pedestrian in a crosswalk I was struck by a careless driver. My case was handled by attorney Ralph Guito and his paralegal Shaheela Hawkins. Ralph guided me through what could have been a legal nightmare. I would recommend him to anyone needing a personal injury attorney.
