Review Albert Salvi

Brilliant!

Posted by ShirleyMon Jan 22 2018

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.

Mr. Salvi helped me through the whole case

Posted by TimMon Sep 25 2017

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.
