Victory over a large insurance company

I was part of a lawsuit from a well known insurance company claiming repayment of damages for an incident that happened at someone’s home while I was at work. Justin and his team worked hard to get us through the ordeal and after all the pressure and stress caused by the insurance company Justin was... able to get our settlement down to 0 from their original 6 figure asking. Justin and his team were very straight forward and honest with us and held our hand the entire way. I would definitely hire Justin again for any future legal issues I might have. Thank you so much!! We a greatly appreciative of all your hard work.

Civil Litigation

Justin is an excellent attorney in this field as he helped our family from an unjust lawsuit from a large insurance co. where we were not at fault. The stress and pressure from this insurance co. was so overwhelming. Once I hired Justin he reviewed our case and did everything legally possible to ...show the other party we definitely were not at fault. Such a blessing to know there are attorneys like Justin who are with you 100% never gave up and kept encouraging me when I wanted to just throw in the towel. Justin’s great work won our case. Awesome Attorney. I will higher recommend to anyone seeking legal counsel._Janie

Extremely helpful and easy to reach

Justin was extremely helpful. I had a very complicated case and he made the process a lot easier to deal with. Any questions I had, he had the answers. If he didn’t know the answer himself he would make sure to find an answer to any questions I had. I also really appreciated how he would update me on... the process every once in a while. Totally recommend him!

Gave us great peace of mind

Our family is thankful for what Justin and his Firm did to help our son, in his case. Things could have gone in a totally different direction, but Justin made sure to explain everything to us and make sure that our son received the best outcome in his case. Truly thankful for his time and guidance.

Caring, Detail-Oriented, Amazing Professional!

Mr. Vecchiarelli is truly an amazing, caring, and well-rounded attorney. When I had a disagreement with my prior employer, I sought out counsel from Mr. Vecchiarelli. Mr. Vecchiarelli was respectful, compassionate, and understanding while he was handling my case. He was responsive and very attentive ...to my requests, questions, and concerns. Overall, Mr. Vecchiarelli is an amazing advocate for the people he represents. He is a reasonable, level-headed individual who isn't in the profession just to make a quick buck. He loves what he does and it shows in how he carries out his duties representing his clients. Overall, I would 100% recommend hiring Justin for any legal concerns that I run into.
