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! ;-)

Pedestrian Car Head Injury

Steve Angles' was recommended to me by one of the doctors I was seeing for treatment after I was struck by a car and received a serious blow to the head. From our first moment sitting together his experience and depth of knowledge of brain injuries was obvious and he was able to aid me both in my me...dical recovery direction and legal assessment and follow-up. Both insights were beneficial to me in the short and long run. The financial settlement came in at 100% from the driver who struck me personal insurance company. Certainly a result of Steve's experience, issue based knowledge and vision. I was always in the loop and approved each step. I believe the results turned out to be as good as we could have hoped.

Recommend

Steven was a pleasure to work with. Would recommend him if needing an attorney. Helped me through the procedure of a difficult car accident with favorable results.

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.

Highest recommendation for Steven J. Angles

Steven J. Angles is an exceptional attorney with a heart and an essential sense of humanity. I absolutely recommend Steven with the highest regards not just for his professional diligence, legal guidance, effectiveness, and persistence, but also for his unstinting kindness and compassion. I write thi...s with the deepest gratitude for his valuable guidance through a most challenging time in my life following a car accident. I engaged Adler-Giersch for personal injury representation upon the recommendation of a trusted lawyer friend. I consider myself extremely fortunate that Steven handled my case with help from Maritza from beginning to its conclusion three years later. All the glowing recommendations he has received are well-deserved, and I’m proud to add mine for the exceptional service and kindness I received from him.
