Exemplary service, and attentiveness!

I had the misfortune of being injured by a commercial vehicle, it was the most difficult experience in my life, horrific to say least, I was fortunate to find, and be represented by this law firm, Gerard Friend, and in much regard Roland, as my representative, almost godsend, from the moment of c...ontact, my anxiety level was eased by the most professional level of service, from the scheduling of my therapy sessions, to my exams, this firm showed, and still displays a utmost care for my health, and well being. I recently had a fusion done in my neck area, 2 levels. I have never imagined the anxiety, and fear before. Gerard, and Roland eased my fears, and assured me the positives, to relieve my stress, and pains. I fully recommend, and will always be owing gratitude for helping me recover slowly, I have a long road ahead, but with someone I can depend on. Thank you Gerard Friend Law, blessings......Great staff again.

HARD CASE

I came to gerard with a case another attorney dropped it wasasupposed low impact. Gerard got me $15 Gs and my car fixed his litigator Roland took care of me thru the whole prcess. When you come here ask for Gerard or Roland they are awesome.

Hardworking and honest

I brought my case to this office after it was messed up by my ex lawyer. Finally back on track I got a good fair settlement after they initially offered nothing for my injury. Everything was settled.

review

DO NOT GO TO THIS ATTORNEY! This office will send you out to doctors and tell you that they will take care of your medical bills, but then keep ALL the money. I have been sent to collections agency and now my credit is ruined because of this GREEDY 'law' office.

Clear, Precise and honest

Mr. Friend was very honest from the start with my case of very serious medical malpractice. He led me to proper care of my injuries and fought to the end so that I could get a fair settlement. He is a very hands on and personal when it came to representing me and was prompt in call backs. Changed... my life and I am very grateful.
