Edmond Elias Salem's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse Edmond Salem. I've worked with Edmond & his firm in several matters. They are responsive, on top of things, and know the law."
"Mr. Salem is a highly skilled attorney that works hard for his clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ed Salem is someone I trust implicitly, and who I recommend, for both his legal skills and his character. Ed has a tremendous amount of legal experience, especially in personal injury cases. I consult with him regularly on my own PI cases. He understands the PI practice, such as when and how to employ experts to get the best result without overspending which would reduce the client's recovery. He is aggressive. He is a trial lawyer, and will take cases to trial when the defense does not make a reasonable offer. Ed also has impeccable character, and embodies what a lawyer is supposed to be. Updating my endorsement in September 2016: I have known Ed for almost seven years now and my comments about him are more true than ever. I give him my highest recommendation."
"Edmond is one of the most ethical lawyers I know. I have had the pleasure of working with him, representing him and being represented by him. I heartily recommend him."
