Really good service and very professional!!

A friend referred me to Jay. He helped a lot in my case, and he’s a real professional who knows what what he’s doing. A case like this could be very stressful but Jay helped so much, he’s a real life saver! I hope my friends won’t have to go through what I have, but if anything happens I’ll definitel...y recommend Jay to them.

Excellent lawyer

Very helpful and friendly, I recommend Jay to anyone needing a car crash lawyer. He helped me through everything with just email and phone which I really liked because covid was scary and I didn't want to go into office.
