The personnel were very friendly and helpful.
We contacted the Hattiesburg office not knowing what to expect. From the operator to the special case worker, and the investigator, are helpful in every way. We are in the first stages of this process and would recommend this office to anyone.

Thanks, Teresa
Everyone that I talked to this morning were informative and helpful. But Teresa stood far above. She was very knowledgeable and patient in explaining all my concerns. Teresa, thank you for assisting me in answering my questions and thank you for your patience and kindness shown in your helping me and freeing me of all my confusion. ❤️
Can’t wait to talk with Henry. If he is half as nice as Teresa, I know that I will be in good hands. Thanks Richard Schwartz & Associates for your assistance in helping me through this process.

I loved my outcome. Thanks Mrs. Jeri And Richard Schwarths
Thank you guys soooo much for giving me the opportunity to receive the compensation I feel I deserved. After my hit and run, you guys believed me to help me out with a rental car, money to buy a new car and money for my medical bills. This has been an awesome experience. Mrs. Jeri was very perfesionally, and patient even when I was irritated at times. My result was unbelievable. Thanks again. Be blessed.

So helpful
I didn't even know if I needed an attorney for my car wreck, but the people at Richard Schwartz's office made my decision pretty easy. The insurance company wanted me to settle quick, and they showed me that it was better to settle right. I couldn't have had a better experience.
