Review Albert Salvi

Always helpful, keep me updated

Posted by

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!

A drunk hit my car and I herniated 2 disks. Everyone recommended Salvi & Maher and now I know why! Real pro's! Great settlement, Al, Kathy, Mike, Brendan, Jennifer & all the lawyers there are the best.

I hired a family friend as my attorney before meeting Mr. Salvi, but he was very helpful with giving me advice and telling me what I should expect.

Patient. Professional. Polite.

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

A lawyer you can count on

This firm knows what they're doing. My case was referred to them and from the moment they began to handle it, it was as if wind had brought life to the sails, so to speak. I had a great experience with this firm and I would recommend it to my friends and family. Thank you very much, Salvi and Maher!

I feel at home in his office, his staff makes me feel like family. Truly a great attorney.

When I brought my case to Albert John Salvi, he handled it professionally and efficiently. I would recommend him to anyone close to me who needed to be represented in medical malpractice and personal injury. His firm Salvi and Maher truly made my life easier, as well as the life of my family. Thank you Mr. Salvi.

One of the best lawyers I've heard of and spoke to

When I started talking to Al Salvi I knew that his firm was the place to go. I went to Al earlier this year and once I found out about this web site I just had to write about him. I went to his office in Waukegan, and when I walked in, his staff treated me very well. When I presented my case to his partner Michael, I felt very good about my bright future. Hopefully all those who need a lawyer can get the opportunity to go to his firm, I know I made the right choice in choosing him.

Why I went to Salvi and Maher

Posted by

The process of finding proper representation for my case was hard on my family and me, but Albert John Salvi made the process all worth it when he signed up my case. My experience with his firm flowed from the moment it was signed up to the moment it was settled. Thank you so much Salvi and Maher!
