Best lawyer

I got ran over by a car while riding my bicycle on the sidewalk because the bike lane was closed due to construction. He ran over me his tires went over my body. Amy came to the hospital for me and then handled everything from there she didn't accept no junk that the ot...her insurance company was trying to throw our way . She got me a great settlement . She also has a really great assistant Danger who went through and explained all the documents to me and helped make sure that I was happy if i am ever injured again i will definitely go back to amy and her team.

The Lawyer I Needed: Amy Vela

Amy Vela did an excellent job representing me in a personal injury case. I appreciated her approachable manner which was helpful, honest, direct, and thorough. Communication with Amy was easy because I felt like I could talk with her as an equal. My questions were always answered and explained so tha...t I was aware of what was going on with my case. When I was stressed, Amy could talk me through the issues. I appreciated the calm, honest, direct, yet empathetic way in which she communicated; Amy is truly skilled in this area! Other areas of expertise were professionalism, preparedness, punctuality, attention to detail, trustworthiness, and the ability to represent me so that my needs were met. I was and am extremely satisfied and happy with the representation Amy Vela provided for me. I highly recommend her as an experienced, confident, successful attorney!
