She makes Magic Happen 10stars in my book!

Vanessa is a wonderful person and lawyer. I have never used a lawyer before. She was so helpful in my PI case. When I thought there was no hope she made Magic happen. She made the process so easy. She handled it all. I would recommend her to my family and friends.

Personal injury experience

I was fortunate to have been referred to Kalfayan Merjanian law firm to represent me in an auto collision case I was involved in. This would be my second time involved in a personal injury case and Vanessa Cardinale has proven to be highly professional and hard working. Vanessa rigorously will fight ...for you and what you, the client, justfully deserves. I cannot be any more satisfied with her. I would highly recommend anyone involved in any auto collision/personal injury case...to let Vanessa handle it, because she will. From personal experience, other attorneys will not take the time to communicate with you persoanlly, but Vanessa has proven otherwise. She kept great communication with me at all times and whenever I had questions or concerns regarding my case. Overall, Vanessa will not leave you dissatisfied. Great person and professional.

2 PI Cases

Vanessa has handled 2 PI cases for me in the past 3 years and I wouldn't go to anyone else. She is absolutely excellent. She is diligent, communicative and works hard to get you a fair result, which she did for me in both cases. She took extra care to make sure I understood the process and was in loc...k step with her throughout both cases. If you want an A+ Top Notch experience with the highest results possible, I'd highly recommend anyone to utilize Vanessa's legal services.

Vanessa Cardinale- Exceptional!

I hired Vanessa after being in a serious motor vehicle accident. Upon meeting her, in person, I immediately knew she was the attorney I wanted to represent me. The service, communication and attention to detail she provided were exceptional. She took care of everything for me regarding my insurance,... medical bills and settlement. Her staff is incredibly nice and quick to respond. While Vanessa is an extremely busy woman, she makes you feel like you are her only and most important client. I would highly recommend her.

Excellent, Professional Attorney

I was very fortunate to have Vanessa and her team represent me after my car accident. Throughout the entire process, Vanessa kept me informed and answered all of my questions. Not only did she and her team refer me to excellent doctors for my injuries, she also worked out a settlement that I was qu...ite pleased with. I would highly recommend Vanessa and her team. They did an outstanding job!
