I recently participated in a focus group for this law firm. Jeremy D’Amico was leading the discussion group regarding a case he was involved in. His commitment to helping his client was easily seen. He was very organized in his presentation of information to our group, very thorough with the facts he shared with us, and very determined to put together all of the information he would need to provide a strong case for his client. He was very easy to communicate with and willing to answer all of our questions about the information he shared with us. Although I’ve never used his services personally, I can tell he would be great resource based on his thoroughness, dedication, and desire to get his clients what they deserve.

I recently participated in my third focus group with this law firm. They may not be as high profile as other state and national injury law specialists, but they are the best! They are compassionate and thorough as (the "Third Division" of CBS Radio and Television News-Fred W. Friendly and Edward R.) Murrow! (Murrow hired Walter Cronkite.) The firm emphasizes substance over style and logic and rationality! If the need arises, I would absolutely hire them to represent me! I look forward to the opportunity of participating in more future focus groups with them!

Kaydence Soule

Attorney Jeremy D’Amico and Paralegal Stacy Crochet were truly incredible to work with. After being involved in a terrifying accident in 2018 with my mom and sibling due to a wrong-way driver, I was overwhelmed and scared. From the very start, they treated us with kindness, respect, and genuine care, making sure we felt heard and supported throughout the entire process. Jeremy took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand, never making me feel like just another case. During the trial, I was emotional and nervous, but he was patient and compassionate, which meant the world to me. Stacy was also amazing—always available to answer questions and provide guidance. This firm truly feels like family, and I can’t imagine having gone through this experience with anyone else. If you’re looking for attorneys who are not only highly skilled but also incredibly caring, I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you for everything you’ve done for my family and me!
