Posted by Jeremiah Mathews | May 19, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Civil Rights

A true advocate, tirelessly working to get real justice.

I hired mr coyle almost 5 yrs ago with nothing more than a signature and a complex story to tell. That was 2012. Since then he has worked on my case continually, eventually going to trial 4+years later in early 2016. After a grueling 14 day civil trial, the jury found in my favor with a monetary awar...d. Constantly during the trial both my attorneys, Mr. Coyle and Mrs Lisa Peck were complimented on the presentation of our complex case by the judge as well as the cout clerk. Their knowledge of the ins and outs of civil trials, and their professionalism were clear to everyone in the court room. Mr Coyle also readily made himself available to me at any time I wanted, often having to suffer through some emotional outpouring, that this case often brought out of me. In those moments when my angst and extreme agitation got the best of me, he wouldid assure me that we would seek justice. These interactions went beyond what I expected from an attorney, and made me feel/ as if a friend was comforting me and were incredibly reassuring at a time when all my friends and family seemed tired of hearing about my case afyter 4 yrs. That to me was the defining moment; when he sincerely believed in me and our case. On a personal level. I felt like my own brother was fighting my case alongside of me. Believe me, when faced with the daunting spectre of a courtroom, judge, jury, defense attorneys, etc nothing eased my tension and apprehension liker having a sincere advocate that both my attorneys were to me in those darkest of hours. Mr Coyle is an outstanding attorney as well as person in my opinion and I would reccomend him to anybody who has legal questions regarding civil rights or employment law. I dont think I would be where I am today without him; but I KNOW I wouldnt feel as if the truth was brought to light or that I was vindicated in any way without his determination and sense of justice that won our case. I will sincerely be indebted to him for the rest of my life. Gratefully,, Jeremiah
