      Bad Accident + Great Attorney= Happy, Satisfied Client!!

      5.0 stars

      Posted by

      I met Attorney Elly after being involved in a 2nd car accident in less than 3 years time. I was familiar with her firm, but not necessarily with her. She came highly recommended and I don't regret putting my case in her hands at all! She kept me informed and didn't mind answering my questions throughout the entire process. She made me feel as though she took her time and wasn't just "going through the motions". I appreciated her honesty and willingness to ensure my satisfaction with the outcome of the case. I can't thank her enough for all she did to help me through such a rough time. She's one of the best!!

      Angela is an excellent lawyer who knows personal injury and criminal defense very well. She is smart, tough, and fair. I have worked with her on cases and against her in another case -- I'd rather be on her side any day!
