Personal Injury Case

Ed Hemingway and the rest of the staff at Buckley & Associates were incredibly helpful and responsive. They worked diligently to get my case resolved and to ensure that my settlement was fair and worthwhile.

Super helpful

I hired Ed to help me with a car accident claim. I had no idea how much happens behind the scenes with car insurance companies, but they are incentivized to settle claims for the least possible amount of money that the injured party will accept. An attorney is incentivized to get you the highest poss...ible amount. Ed and his team helped me through the whole process and recouped almost 10 times what I was first offered by the insurance company.

I highly recommend Mr. Hemingway to anyone who was involved in a car accident.

Not only I received much larger settlement than I expected, Mr. Hemingway was sincere and thoughtful. I am very pleased with the process and result of my case.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Ed is a great lawyer and a wonderful person to work with. He has a genuine interest in taking classes and learning new things to use in his practice. Due to his positive attitude and compassion toward others he is the last person to lose patience even in the most difficult times. His approach to practicing law is very client-centered, meaning that he does not let his own ego interfere with his work and his interactions with clients or opposing counsel. Ed will always work hard to first connect with his clients, second to help them figure out what they really need, and third to go out and achieve those results."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
