The Attorney Who Listens

The vision in my right eye was permanently damaged by an ophthalmologist who decided to skip an important test. Ms. Trucchi found an error my medical records that had prevented my legal case from moving forward. We corrected the error, and my case just settled for a significant amount. Ms. Trucc...hi found and fixed the error because she listened to me when I said they hadn't performed the important test. After that it was fairly easy to prove they hadn't performed the test. Most attorneys I contacted rejected my case because they believed the medical records, and not me. Ms. Trucchi succeeded because she gave me, at least temporarily, the benefit of the doubt. It makes all the difference in the world. Ms. Trucchi knows how to negotiate. It was amazing to watch her at my settlement conference. She quickly recalculated my net settlement after each offer, so I always knew where I stood. And, more importantly, she knows the psychology of the negotiation. She understands the motivations of each player in the negotiation, which is very helpful in trying to reach a fair settlement. So, I highly recommend Ms. Trucchi for personal injury cases.

Living Trust Preperation

Teresa created me a Living Trust. She helped me take into account various points concerning my assets and health care decisions, which I didn't know about. Also, my partner and I plan to adopt, so it was important for us to find an attorney that can adapt the trust to our future life changes and wal...k us through the adoption process. Initially, I was discouraged by the paperwork and process, but Teresa made it very easy by explaining all of the documents, and answering all of my questions. Now, I have a sense of security about my estate, and I feel so relieved after having Teresa as my attorney. She's amazing.
