Hard working and honest Attorney

I was in a car accident a few years back and kept getting contacted by one of the other parties insurance company. I haven’t had good experiences with attorneys in the past so I was hesitant to contact one. After awhile it felt like I was being harassed by the other parties Attorney, so on the recom...mendation of a legal service we subscribe to, I contacted Mr. Fogerty. I felt comfortable and as confident he was the right attorney from the beginning. After negotiating with a very abrasive attorney from the other party for over a year or so,Mr. Fogerty got what I felt was a reasonable settlement. He was very up front about the fees, and other interests that would have to be paid (insurance claims). We settled at that time which was about a year ago. Well, this past Sunday Mr. Fogerty called and said that he had gotten a waiver from the insurance claims and he had their portion of the settlement in a check for me to pick up. I believe that he went way above and beyond what he said he could do handling this case. How many attorneys would have still disputed the insurance claims after we had settled and then had the integrity to not just keep the rest of the settlement for additional fees? I highly recommend Sam Fogerty to handle all of your car accident and insurance needs.He was fantastic!, Thank you so much for all you did for me, Mr. Fogerty!

Satisfied and thankful client

Sam and his team were highly competent in addressing my motorcycle accident case, aggressively asserting my position and injury claims, resulting in a 100% full payout. His extreme patience with my own somewhat erratic response times, along with his timely responses and communication of the progressi...on of the case is much appreciated. Will definitely be in contact with any future legal matters.

Competent and Compassionate

I was attacked by a dog, resulting in injury-through no fault of my own. Attorney Fogerty handled my case, taking me through the steps while I was healing from the trauma. He was competent, ethical and empathetic to my needs. He and his staff handled the paperwork so I could handle the healing. H...e was able to get a settlement so I didn't have to go through the court system. The office staff are efficient and caring, as well, and are quick to provide answers/return phone calls and emails. I would recommend Attorney Fogerty to anyone looking for a satisfactory resolution to their legal issues. Lois

When only the best will do.

The most exceptional attorney and staff (Candace) I have ever encountered. He worked far harder than I ever expected and am exceptionally grateful for providing outstanding representation.
