I suffered multiple fractures to my shoulder when I was struck by a car while riding my scooter. When I hired Mathew and Richard, they immediately sought and obtained video of the crash and spoke to all the witnesses. The video proved that I did nothing wrong and the other driver was 100% at fault. I am so grateful for their hard work.

When I was thrown from my motorcycle when another driver ran a red light. I am lucky to be alive. But my life has been permanently changed and I am grateful for the representation provided by Mathew Siporin and the rest of the staff.

My son was killed while riding his motorcycle because a inattentive driver suddenly pulled out in front of him. Even though we were grieving, Richard was extremely compassionate and helpful at every step of the way. He worked quickly and was able to get us the most amount of money possible under these circumstances.
