Hi Mitch, Not too long ago, you assigned Veronica to handle my disability. I've told you before how I valued such an experienced employee you have in Veronica, and today I have to say again: THANK YOU. You and your firm have blessed me. I am very grateful to be under your care. You and your staff have proven time and again that your clients are important to you.

Hey Charlie, I received the check from NYSIF. I just want to thank you and your team for all that you’ve done for me. The settlement is much larger than I anticipated it would be, and there’s no way I could have navigated all of that legality on my own. So in all sincerity, thanks so much for the thorough job and due diligence. This is a MAJOR boon for me right now!

Ed, When I called your office to inquire about S.S. disability, you said I could file on my own and I did.

I also appreciate the police brotherhood that went into my case! Thanks, D.R.

They would be pleased to see this from an outstanding employee such as yourself.
T.A.Prior Claimant
It is very common to write a letter and share complaints, but I am a strong believer in acknowledging when a person goes above and beyond. When I originally came to your firm, I was assigned an attorney and then a point person, mine was Raphael Hernandez. About a year in Raphael called and said they were restructuring internally, and I was going to be assigned to a new point person. I was NOT happy, he told me that was Angelina Mendoza was the new person and she was wonderful and assured me that I would like her. He then added that he would still be there for me if I needed to call. Without going into the minutiae of my case, I will say that over the past 2 years I have received countless letters from workman’s comp either denying doctor procedures or disputing payments. I scanned some of these letters and emailed them to Angelina. Raphael Hernandez and Angelina Mendoza have not only replied to my email’s but have provided the greatest level of contact and communication with me. My mind was set at ease when they would call and take the time to explain the context that I was not familiar with. They were always helpful, and professional. Please be sure to acknowledge Raphael and Angelina. P.S. I know three people that have filed workman’s comp claims (one being my husband) and they all said the same thing, I can’t ever get a return call from my attorney. After my interaction with your firm, my husband left his attorney and is now being represented by your firm. Sincerely, CP
C.P.Prior Claimant
Thank you, Zachary, for all your hard work. Again thank you for your compassion.
W.N.Prior Claimant
I am very grateful for the attention received from Ms. Nataly Artiles in my case brought by the lawyers of Mclntyre, Donohue, Accardi, who defended me very well. Is remarkable how Miss Nataly with her patience explained things that I did not understand well, she is a very charismatic person, who returned my calls on the same day or the next day, which was not done by prior persons handling my case before her. That's why I congratulate her and I hope to continue with her patience and charisma. God bless you Miss Nataly.
A.C.Prior Claimant
Dear Carol, I am writing to you to let you know how much I appreciate all you did for me to get me started on my social security benefit journey.

You can tell that you enjoy your job and are very good at it. Thanks again.
