Posted by David Casner. | April 27, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Death

Closure for my family

Jeff took our case for wrong death of my grandfather. It was not an easy journey to say the least but he fought long and hard to get justice and allow for our family to have closure and healing. Jeff was professional through the entire process and knew a lot about elder abuse and nursing home negle...ct. After several years fighting the case we were able to settle in mediation and that saved us several more years fighting in courts. Overall we would highly recommend Jeff Pitman for your legal needs, he served our family well and we are sure he would do that same for yours.

Wrongful death lawsuit

Jeff is a very competent professional. Experienced in these types of cases. I felt our case was in excellent hands with Jeff and his law firm. Jeff always returned our phone calls and answered all our questions and concerns. He wad very focused in the courtroom. Very organized. Understood the evidenc...e in detail. We owe Jeff and his team a world of gratitude for a great job representing us.

Review Jeffrey A. Pitman

Jeff Pitman handled a nursing home negligence case for us. He is VERY straight-forward, knowledgeable and competent. He let us know what was going on, and what to expect. If I ever again need an attorney for any type of case Mr. Pitman handles--or if anyone asked me for a recommendation for a grea...t lawyer--I would call/recommend him "in a heartbeat"!!!

The 'Best of the Best'

Attorney Jeff Pitman (successfully) represented my family in our lawsuit against a nursing home, related to the untimely death of my father. His professionalism and committment to his clients are above reproach. From begining to end, Jeff consistantly kept us informed. I would sum up his performance ...as the benchmark other attorneys should strive for.

Posted by Bobby | December 05, 2010 | Family

Case Closed!

Mr. Pitman represented my family with intellect, diligence and ferocity. He is extremely knowledeable in his field of practice. He was kind, considerate and very helpful. I would urge anyone who needs representation with a case like this, to call him first, or call him last, but make sure you call ...him!

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.
