Trucking Accident 40%

If you are involved in a trucking accident, you may benefit from the services of a trucking accident lawyer. Trucking accident lawyers know the dynamics of truck crashes and can identify and weigh all the possible factors which may have been involved. Tired truckers falling asleep at the wheel can cause trucking accidents, as can car drivers who abruptly change lanes without signaling.

Defective and Dangerous Products 20%

When you are injured by a poorly designed or poorly made product, or by a product that should have carried a warning label, you may benefit from the services of a defective and dangerous products lawyer. Many drugs, including the arthritis drug Vioxx and diet aids containing Phenylpropanolamine, are considered dangerous products, as are some medical devices (heart defibrillators) and ordinary appliances (space heaters). Asbestos and tobacco are also considered inherently dangerous.

Personal Injury 20%

A personal injury lawyer works with clients who have suffered a physical or emotional injury, usually by accident or mistake. For example, if you are in a car accident or are the victim of a botched surgery, a personal injury attorney can help. They know how the insurance claim process works, they know what evidence to gather, and they know how to calculate and present a claim for damages. Many personal injury attorneys take cases on a contingency basis, which means they get paid only if you do

An Outstanding Man and Lawyer

I have known Greg Cusimano for over 30 years in various capacities, including when I needed legal help and advice. I can say without a doubt that he is a man of high moral character, operates with integrity, very hard working and totally dedicated to his work. Not only is Greg an outstanding lawyer... but his staff is exceptional, also.

Personal Injury

Mr. Cusimano is an extraordinarily competent attorney. Although my case involved many unforeseen obstacles, he showed great tenacity, not allowing obstructions or hindrances to prevent progress toward a victorious outcome. He is a gentleman of great character and integrity.

HE IS THE MAN!!!

I have used Greg for several cases. He is extremely professional, understands the issues and responds with advice I can understand. Negotiates a very fair settlement and is prepared to go to court if necessary, but as a last resort. I appreciated his openness and value his advice. If I have an is...sue in the future, I will go to him again.

Client re

I have been involved in an estate settlement for the last four years. It has been one of the most difficult and stressful times in my life. Greg and his staff always made me feel like everything would be alright. He would answer my questions. They responded to my case quickly. Overall I was sati...sfied with their services.

Posted by Marguerite | August 21, 2014

Compassionate and efficient estate settlement.

Greg Cusimano was extremely helpful to me in finalizing the estate of my late husband, Colonel Donald P. Kelly, Jr. Greg was kind and understanding at a time of great sorrow for me and for my family. I never felt pressured to do any of the required documents to settle the estate. Greg and his staf...f showed great patience toward me as I filled out the many documents required to finalize the estate. I would highly recommend the firm of Cusimano, Roberts, Knowles & Mills, LLC.

"Greg is the epitome of a trial lawyer. He has been representing people injured by the wrongdoing of others since he got out of law school in 1968. Greg is known nationwide in the plaintiff's trial bar as a champion for the little guy. Fifty years from now, plaintiff's lawyers will be talking about the jury bias research that Greg and David Wenner conducted. I am proud to count him as a friend."

"Greg is not only one of the most respected trial lawyers in the United States, but he is also a gentleman of the highest order. In fact, he may be Atticus Finch reincarnate. While Greg and his firm are located in the small town of Gadsden, Alabama, their reputation reaches throughout the state and across the country. They have small town values, with big time connections and resources. I can't recommend him highly enough."

"Greg Cusimano is the best teaching lawyer I've ever known or heard. I've learned more from Greg about how to present my client's story to a civil jury than from any other source. I am thankful he is an expert in Jury selection and Jury trial matters, and cares enough to share his many insights with other attorneys."

"I highly recommend Greg for personal injury matters. My clients and I have greatly benefitted from his willingness to share his experience and expertise in the area of personal injury litigation with the lawyers of our State (and across the country.) I think it speaks volumes about a lawyer's character and commitment to the cause of his clients when he is wiling to share his knowledge and experience with other lawyers, who are also business competitors. Not only is Greg an excellent attorney but I think he is an excellent role model for other attorneys ."

"The "bet the farm" lawyer in Alabama, Greg is hired nationally to perfect lawyer's good cases and fix the bad ones. I would hire him if I had a family member with catastrophic injuries in Alabama, and sleep well at night for having done so. He has my highest recomendation."

Not only is Greg an incredible attorney, but he is also an incredible person. Greg cares about people, and he is a man of integrity. If you have an opportunity to refer a case to Greg or to have him as your attorney, you would be making a mistake to do otherwise."
