In good hands

I was referred to attorney Blumenshine through a relative who was very confident that I would be in good hands. From the start attorney Blumenshine was very attentive and compassionate. As the case progressed, he assured me that I would become whole again after suffering a broken arm in a traumatic c...ar accident. I am very grateful of the service Blumenshine provided and very satisfied with the outcome.

Scott is the best

Scott worked on my case with a combination of diligence & skill that u will need in a car accident case. His experienced staff is helpful in guiding u with the myriad of documents u will need. I highly recommend that u give Scott a call. U r not just a client for Scott, but a concerned citizen who ...needs the best possible legal assistance at an important time in your life u did not expect. Best attribute is that he is constantly in contact with u, & only a phone call away if u have a question.

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.
