Testimonials

I want to thank Mark McAndrew for the outstanding job representing me in my trial. He was very thorough in his research and preparation for this case and he made sure I was completely prepared as well. This resulted in a just and honest resolution. His warm and understanding manner helped me significantly in weathering this.

I can’t thank Neil Ptashnik enough for all he has done. This case had been weighing very heavily on me for many years. I've had other cases, but emotionally this one really got to me. I feel such a relief today knowing that it's settled and it has settled in what I think was a very reasonable number. I will always be grateful for Neil for handling this in the most professional and emotionally supportive manner possible.
