Review Albert Salvi

Very relieved now and ecstatic about the result

I hired Mr. Salvi before leaving for my first year in college and I was not in a good place. I broke my left leg in a car accident that summer. Now I am in my junior year and my case just settled. Mr. Salvi has helped me these past 2+ years and I am absolutely ecstatic with the result. My parents told me to go with Salvi and Maher and I did research about what my sort of injuries can get in a case and I am over the moon with the result of my case. Thank you Mr. Salvi!

I want to review not only Al but also his firm Salvi and Maher. They are a good sized firm and I had the chance to meet a few people from their office, and they are all very professional. A few times I found myself in conversation with one of their lawyers over the philosophy of law, and I learned a lot about the process. They quite frankly do a brilliant job.

I’ve known of Al, and I’ve heard from a friend that he’s a smart guy and solid lawyer. More recently, I consulted his firm Salvi and Maher and they were professional, definitely helped me out. I did not, as it turns out, have to hire his firm.

Called there office Salvi Maher and they answered immediately, helping me through my case. I went to another lawyer before Salvi and they referred me here, it has been a very good experience. They answer all of my questions and do not leave me in the dark, I am confident in the direction of my case. Grazie mille Al, ti ringrazio!

Salvi & Maher fought diligently for my son who was a pedestrian hit by a car in Wisconsin. The firm reached a substancial settlement--a settlement, I am confident, that is especially fair given his injuries, which will handicap him for life. Would highly recommend Salvi & Maher to anyone in both Wisconsin and Illinois, where the lawyers at this firm are licensed.

A very respectful and traditional lawyer. Salvi and Maher is second to no one.

My experience with law suits was poor until I chose Salvi and Maher. My brother was in a car accident about 5 years ago, and the lawyers my family went to were very unprofessional and inefficient. A year and a half ago, my wife was injured; so we chose to go to Salvi and Maher. We could not have made a better choice. Do not waste your time with any other lawyer
