Review Arnold Gross

Phone Consult

I had a conversation on the phone with Mr. Gross regarding a medical malpractice personal injury case which was a flop according to most lawyers I spoke to. I move on to file Pro Per. I found him very sincere, and very detail oriented. He is a great advisor for your best foot forward.

The man on your side

Arnold addressed two of my cases. Each scenario was unique and whether it was court, litigation, etc., he came out on top proving my case. Blessed to have him on my side for these rough times. Highly recommended.

If you’re looking for a lawyer who will truly care about you & you’re well being during the process - look not further than Arnold Gross. I got injured at work 5 years go - a slip & fall - I ended up injuring my spine, having permanent nerve damage, a pain syndrome and am now permanently disabled at only 33 years old. During the legal process I was extremely stressed and due to my injury in constant pain while also dealing with anxiety & depression as a result of being unable to work. Arnold genuinely made sure that I received amazing medical treatment & a psychologist - you name it - he made sure I had access. As time went on Arnold became more like a father/friend rather than my lawyer - he always checked in on me and made sure that I fully understood everything that was happening even if it took meeting with me in person. Another great aspect of Arnold - I had his office phone # and could contact him directly (this was a big deal to me - he and I had a relationship - rather than a relationship with his secretary). Everyone at Savin & Bursk was effective, helpful & kind (it made going by through a lawsuit as pleasant as it could be). I had an amazing team of people supporting me and as trial loomed closer I wasn’t left in the dark. They made sure I knew exactly what to expect. Fast forward - due to Savin & Bursks amazing team I ended up winning a large 7 figure sum and couldn’t be happier!! I will not have to worry about my future. If you want a lawyer that’s a fighter but kinda & caring give Arnold a call you won’t regret it!

Great experience! This attorney is highly competent and experience d while still maintaining the ability to connect with clients through what otherwise could be a very stressful time. Thanks AVVO!

Appreciate the clarification.

Posted by

This gentleman was kind and encouraging. He in no way made me feel embarrassed by my misuse of legal terms. I will definitely take his advice and hit the books again tomorrow to find a local person. I am so glad that he was generous to educate me as I may have implied as he pointed out that I did not want to compensate the attorney. I only need to have someone who can afford and is willing to be paid incrementally. Thanks sir.
