Car Accident 50%

I handle first and third party automobile cases including serious truck accidents. I had one of the largest truck accident jury verdicts in Washtenaw county. After the verdict we obtained a bad faith settlement against the insurance company for failing to settle the case within policy limits.

Very Satisfied

Mr, Iafrate represented my family in a personal injury matter. He was very compassionate and kept our family informed as to the case events. We were happy with the result and his representation. I would recommend him to others.

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.
