Client Testimonials

“I was in a car crash in the Bronx when someone rear ended the car I was in. At first I didn’t think I was hurt too badly but the pain in my neck and back got worse and worse. I saw the Jacoby & Meyers law firm ad where David slew Goliath and they asked “Who will stand up for you?”. I knew that was the firm I needed to stand up for me and they did a great job doing that. Everyone was super nice and answered all my questions. The trial lawyer treated me like family, she even came over for dinner and I knew she was fighting hard for me. When the insurance company didn’t offer a fair amount I knew she would fight at the arbitration and I was right. Definitely hire Jacoby & Meyers if you are in a car accident. ”

“Attorney Michael Feldman and the team at Jacoby and Meyers worked tirelessly to help me after I was seriously injured in a car accident. They were there for me every step of the way and never stopped fighting for me. Jacoby and Meyers is who you want on your side. Anyone else is a waste of time.

“I am so glad I contacted Jacoby & Meyers after I was struck by a car in Manhattan. I was hit by a cab while trying to cross the street and was seriously injured. My legal team at Jacoby & Meyers worked hard to get me a fair settlement, to them I just want to send my heartfelt thanks for all of their support and hard work. Their knowledge and guidance was very helpful. We greatly appreciate all the time and direction that was dedicated to my case. Thank you!”

“I had an excellent experience! Highly recommend! I called the injury lawyers at Jacoby & Meyers in NYC after the apartment building in New Rochelle I was walking by didn’t clean up the snow and ice on their sidewalk and it caused me to fall. I knew I needed to hold the property owner accountable and the attorneys at Jacoby & Meyers definitely did that. Sharon Scanlan fought for me until she got a fair settlement before a trial at the courthouse in White Plains in Westchester. Everybody I dealt with at the law firm was helpful and nice. I know I didn’t have the easiest case, but they got me a great settlement.”
