This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Elevator Accident

Mr. Stillman gave me very valuable free legal advice. His advice set the perfect tone for my own successful settlement of my personal injury case. I believe Mr. Stillman really cared about the outcome of my case, when others did not. Thank you Sir for being there when I needed help. David C. B, K...noxville, TN

Great firm

I love working with this firm. I am currently in the process of applying for disability and got tired of doing it on my own. I went to them and now feel like I've got the help and support to go further and continue the process. They are all courteous and friendly. I recommend using this firm with any... needs that may come up that they work with. Thank you Jay and thank you to your entire firm.

Super Helpful

Jay and his team were extremely helpful to settling my case. I got everything I wanted and very quickly too. I was kept in the loop from start to finish. Jay and his team stayed on top of every details until I received my settlement check. I would highly recommend Jay and his staff to anyone who has ...an accident or is hurt on the job.

A Great Accurate and Attentive Attorney

Jay is a very accurate and attentive attorney that pays close attention to details. His firm is wonderful to work with. They are committed to service, calling back quickly and caring. When I had an issue they were able to help quickly and effectively.

Amazing!

This firm is amazing! They are efficient, caring and down to earth! They treat you like a real person, not cattle or a number. I can speak with ANY attorney or paralegal and they know exactly what is going on in my claim. I have never dealt with a law firm that has so much passion for their clien...ts. Thank you Stillman & Friedland for making me feel safe and comfortable with my decision to let you represent me!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
