Personal injury defense for malpractice surgery

Jennifer Coughlin took my case ,when other Law firms including bigger names, skeptically turn me down. Not being intimidated and without hesitation took on a surgeon of well-known Medical Institution. She is a great communicator collecting every detail and fact of the case to reach conclusio...n and justice. Unequivocally would return or recommend her and the firm to anyone

Car accident settlement

I cannot express that amount of gratitude I have for Jennifer Coughlin and her team. They are truly amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. I settled my claim very easily and effortlessly in a relatively short amount of time. All due to Jennifer’s hard work. I could not have gone down t...his road without Jennifer and Stephanie.

Tenacious, Smart, and Committed to Justice

I was in a serious car crash and hired Jennifer to represent me in litigation against the driver that hit me. She spent many hours reviewing medical records and meeting with me in order to become fully informed about all the details of my injuries and the way my injuries negatively impacted my life.... She was already an expert on personal injury law so once she fully educated herself on the extent and details of my injuries she began her negotiations with the insurance carrier. Because of her preparation, expertise in personal injury law, dogged determination, and persuasive negotiation skills, she was able to quickly secure a relatively large settlement. Hiring Jennifer Coughlin was the right decision. If you hire her I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Excellant Service

I was injured in a serious accident and hired Jennifer to represent me. It involved a Worker's Compensation claim. She was terrific as a go-between with the Worker's Compensation adjuster when I needed to request specific treatment and I was having difficulties getting authorization. It was a long... year and a tough recovery and Jennifer was always available for me. I will always appreciate her diligence on my behalf.

Look no further

My daughter and I talked with Emily first to set up the appointment with Jen. Emily was GREAT a real asset to the law firm. Jen gave us solid advise on how to proceed , we will be contacting the other parties insurance company ourselves and if they aren't willing to settle , Jen said she will then ...intervine and it WILL be settle. One of the many good traits Jen has is she truly looks after her clients best interest. God Bless you Jen and Emily
