Unwavering Support and an Incredible Outcome

Nick and Andrea were incredible team who stood by me through the most painful time of my life. For two years, they worked tirelessly to fight for our family. Their dedication, compassion, and determination never wavered. They guided me through every step of the process, always making sure I understoo...d what was happening and always fighting for what was right. Because of their hard work and commitment, we won the case and my family received the compensation that was rightfully ours. I am forever grateful for everything they did for us. If you are looking for attorneys who truly care and will fight relentlessly on your behalf, I cannot recommend Nick Pontarolo highly enough.

A a Lawyer Who Helps Secure Your Future.

When you meet Nicholas Pontarolo, you instantly know he is well versed in his area of law, and it puts you at ease. I received a recommendation to confer with Nick, regarding my Labor and Industries claim. Recommended by my brother who had an experience similar to mine, injured at work and was no...t going to be able to continue working. I called Nick after almost six weeks of having no one at my company respond to my injury and I wish I had done it sooner. I felt from the beginning his concern for his client (you), Nick is a lawyer who cares about what is right and wrong. His main concern is that you are made whole from your injury. I can't recommend him more highly to anyone who is struggling with a work injury, and have experiencing inadequate attention from your employer. I suggest you seek out Nicholas J. Pontarolo. I suggest you go to him right after you are injured. From the begining you will have someone that has your back and always wants what's best for you. He has, hands down, made a huge difference in my future. Thank you Nick for who you are and what you do.

Nick Was a Significant Help with My Claim

Nick and his team provided excellent and timely assistance and guidance throughout the course of my claim and kept me well informed along the way. His honest assessment and explanation of my options along the way were instrumental in helping me get the surgery I needed ( and was being denied) and hav...ing a positive outcome. I recommend him and his team for work injury claims. - Ray

Excellent Attorney!!!!

I had a very unique L&I case. I was physically attacked and abused by a client that I was giving home care to that resulted in some physical injury and left me with mental distress and anxiety. I was overwhelmed with paperwork trying to handle the claim on my own. A friend of mine referred me to Ni...ck as an attorney who could help me with my situation and I am so glad that I called him. Nick turned out to be a godsend for me. He guided me through a very complicated case. I always felt he was looking out for my best interest. He gave me comfort during a very long and stressful case. I found Nick to be always available to me and always got back to me when he said he would. During the course of my three years I got to know Nick as a man of integrity and professionalism. I will always be indebted to Nick for the help that he gave me. I would not hesitate to recommend Nick to anybody who is looking for a good attorney. Thank you Nick and all of your staff.
