I had someone run into the back of my car in February of 2020. I called Laureti Law Firm following my accident. They were very professional, always giving me updates, explained every step involved, and I was very satisfied with settlement! I highly would recommend Laureti Law to all the people I know!
Tony was the best ever. He was responsive and would answer any questions I had right away. I have had experiences with lawyers who would act like you were bothering them when you had questions. He made me feel like he was treating my case like it was his most important case. Not one complaint and I tell anyone who asks if I know an Attorney about Tony. Thank you again.
