Posted by Adrienne | August 12, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Trucking Accident

Serious automobile accident

I was in a serious automobile accident with my son and his friend while picking them up from school. I was rear ended by a company truck while traveling down the highway and lost control of my vehicle. The result of the accident left me having to have 3 vertebrae fused in my neck and over a year wo...rth of physical therapy. Although the aftermath of the wreck was far from easy, working with Zebas Law Firm was by far the best decision I could've made in hiring a lawyer. He simply instructed me to follow doctor's orders and he would take care of everything else, and he did what he promised. Working with Mr. Zebas, his wife, and staff was more than just a business relationship. They were like family. His explanation of my case and the other details never had me questioning his ability to do his job and he went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. I can never thank him and his team enough for what they did for me and my family and I wouldn't hesitate to refer any friend or family member to his law firm.

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.
