Report
A friend recommended the Restivo and Murphy law firm several years ago to me in 2008 when I was involved in an automobile accident. I was hurt physically and emotionally as well as being confused about the daunting legal process ahead of me. However when I called the law firm their genuine concern for my well bring was immediately apparent! Then they began to demonstrate their skill and expertise as they walked me through the legal process with compassion when needed and then fierce intelligent aggressiveness when engaging my legal opponent. They held my hand and never let me feel that any of my numerous questions were stupid! And I often asked the same question several times! However they were always patient with me and effectively represented my legal interests! Needless to say I highly recommend the Restivo and Murphy Law Firm!
