Successful Award

I've hired attorneys from Adler Giersch twice over the span of a half dozen years to handle accident cases (MVA) that weren't my fault. I returned the second time after they had handled my first case successfully. The attorney I used the first time had changed firms, so Steven Anglés handled my ca...se this time. This time my claim was a bit more complicated as two different defendants & insurance companies were implicated in responsibility. Once Steve had been hired and took on the case it alleviated the unrelenting pressure I had been under from both of the defendant's attorneys. Each member of Steve's team, Heather (case manager whom I had worked with before), Elisabeth (attorney), & Sabrina (Litigation paralegal), were always immediately responsive to the myriad of questions that I had during a fairly long process of settling this claim, since neither of the two defendant's were admitting responsibility for being at fault. As this case wound down, & blame assigned to one party my a mediator, that attorney tried to make a low ball offer & threatened to go to court over the claim after the mediator had already awarded a claim amount. In collaboration with Steve, and his recommendations, I did not accept that, and within a span of a couple of days they accepted the judgement. So, in summary, I would without reservation recommend Steve & his team for their care, responsiveness, and most importantly their skill & insight in handling my case. A special thanks to Heather who was awesome in both cases! ;-)

High Recommendation

I contacted Steve Angles at the recommendation of my doctor. We had our initial consultation and Steve determined that I would likely get more from my settlement by not hiring a lawyer. However, he was willing to consult with me throughout the process. Mr. Angles was terrific in how he broke ever...ything down and explained my options and the whys of the other insurance company's thinking. He helped me prepare to deal with them when I called them on my own and negotiated. Everything he did was to help me and my case become stronger and he succeeded. I was able to reach a settlement. I truly Thank and Appreciate all that Mr. Angles did for me. Steve is an outstanding, open, honest, and personable attorney. The kind of person you want on your side. He listens to you and your story. No judgement. I would definitely recommend Mr. Angles.

Exceptional, caring service with excellent results

I had hoped to get the maximum payout when I engaged Steve and his team to represent me. But Steve actually got me more, due to his extensive knowledge of how insurance companies work. I had met with several other attorneys, but they had little interest in what they must have perceived as a small cas...e. Steve came highly recommended, and he did not disappoint. Before I met Steve, I was being harassed by the 2 insurance companies, yet I ended up needing to have my hip replaced due to a car accident. I am so grateful to Steve and Maritzia for their hard work. Steve has called me back at night, on weekends, on vacation. Honestly, I felt heard and cared for. At a time when everything was spinning out of control, Steve was my rock. Five stars just doesn't seem enough.

Warm & Knowledgeable

Steve and Carol have been such an incredible support system for myself and my partner as we traversed the web of confusion with insurance and the claim surrounding a traumatizing bike/car accident that put my partner out of work for a year and had such a wide sweeping impact on both of our lives. The...y were so kind, informative and thorough and kept us at ease through the entire process and i can't imagine having worked with anyone else.

Incredible lawyer who is always in your corner

My wife was rear-ended back in 2018 which left her with severe back injuries. She and I had been trying to traverse an extremely confusing and intimidating spiderweb of insurance companies and medical lingo before we decided to ultimately pursue legal counsell. Steven was absolutely incredible in hel...ping manage all the claims related to the accident, explaining and implementing the financial logistics of handling all the involved insurance companies, During the year that they represented us on our case, they were absolutely incredible and easy to work with. To echo other reviewers, we very much appreciated their professionalism, transparency and determination. We are extremely grateful to have had Steven represent us and we strongly recommend them and the Adler Giersh firm looking for legal counsel related to personal injury matters.
