"I would recommend them to anyone"
I suffered a tragic loss of my totaled car back in September of 2017. Although the process was extensive, (as expected, these lawsuits usually take yearsss) I received transportation to and from my chiropractor visits as needed, my outpatient back procedure was given by one of the best doctors! (and relieved me of 80% of the pain I was experiencing prior); and Todd helped me out tremendously & talked me through the whole ordeal despite my frustrations. Today I received even more than I was expected to. I can now go purchase a new car! I want to thank Todd especially, as well as the Law offices of Scott Jay Senft! I would recommend them to anyone who is experiencing a loss due to a car accident. Thank me later
