Dedication at it's best!

If you have never been in a mass tort claim (Phillips C pap claim) it's a never ending battle. About 2 years of gathering medical records changes in requirements from Phillips and what is acceptable. I would have given up if it wasn't for Vikki Devoy She would always keep me up to date and offer ...any help in getting records I needed. She called me every couple of months to provide anything new. I settled with Marc Whitehead's Law firm. I wanted to stress it's not the settlement amount I received. It is the outstanding customer service I recieved from the firm. They all worked together as a solid team. I would like to pay my compliments to Vikki Devoy, with her dedication to the job it is truly a great feeling to see someone really go to bat for you. Vikki reflects a true and dedicated employee that goes above and beyond the call of duty. With your knowledge and true dedication to the job reflects great credit upon herself and the firm. Marc, you need to get her promoted and move her up in the chain! You have an excellent and dedicated employee.. Thanks again Vikki I really appreciate your outstanding work! Matthew R.

Intake Processing

Ms. Agnes Lopez was professional and efficient in the intake process. As the initial contact for the firm, her excellent communication skills exceeded my expectations when I was dreading to make the call. She was very professional, but empathetic. She worked quickly asking questions and working to e...nsure I was comfortable. She facilitated a way for me to quickly provide her with what she needed to review with the lawyers and make a decision to take my case and answered all of my questions making me feel very comfortable. She was quick to get everything to me to get the case moving forward instantly. She is great to work with and represents the firm with the upmost respect and professionalism.
