Personal Injury

My wife was struck by a driver who tried to rush through and intersection. Our car was totaled and my wife sustained injuries. After getting the run around from insurance companies, we hired Mr. Hickey. He fought hard to get us compensated an received more than we ever expected. I highly recommend him.

Great lawyer

I hired this lawyer as local counsel in Cleveland OH in a wrongful death case. He and his law partner Kevin McDermott were both very responsive and competent. They are both excellent lawyers who I would use and again and recommend to anyone in need of legal services.
