HAPPY CLIENTS

Thank you Giovanna. I appreciate your advice. You were good at listening, maintaining a professional manner, and giving me advice. All the things people should expect from an attorney.  If I decide to pursue legal remedy and need a lawyer, you will be hearing from me.

“This was the first time I ever needed an attorney and could not have asked for any better! Scott was on top of everything, only had my best interest and was very professional. He kept me well informed and updated throughout the entire case! My settlement was beyond anything I could of imagined and I would never consider using any other law firm!”

KF was a podiatry malpractice client, who came to us after dealing with a painful foot for years following surgery by an area podiatrist.  An active woman with a young child, KF had initially sought treatment for a minor foot complaint.  Flash forward a year and she had been through multiple foot surgeries and had a pronounced limp.

Unfortunately, KF’s podiatrist improperly performed a procedure commonly known as a “bunionectomy”, where he attempted to remove bone from the outside part of KF’s large toe.  The problem occurred when the podiatrist took off too much bone, causing an imbalance that could never be completely repaired.  

In KF’s case the podiatrist refused to admit that he did anything wrong, so we took the case all the way through trial where, after several days, the jury returned a verdict in KF’s favor for more than $200,000.  The case was settled shortly after trial for the amount of the jury verdict.– K. F.

“I don’t often write reviews or even post to local business websites. But I am compelled to with these two individuals. Scott and Giovanna are by far the two best lawyers I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. Not because of money,but because of their high value family ethics and their compassion for the next human being. I’ve been in dealings with them for quiet sometime. I had a baby, they sent a beautiful card and more , I got married, they did the exact same thing. I’ve never had two professionals on the complete opposite end of the work spectrum thab I treat me with such dignity and respect. It’s how everyone should treat everyone else. Like we are all equal. I wouldn’t hesitate for one millisecond in referring them to ANYONE in need of their services. You guys will do absolutely amazing in your future endeavors and thank you for treating me as if I was just as important to you as your cousin!”

NZ was a civil rights client who had been treated cruelly and unfairly by several corrections officers at a local county facility.  We accepted NZ’s case, filed a lawsuit in federal court, and litigated the case for nearly three years before reaching a settlement.

NZ’s case highlights one of our firms guiding principles: we get to know our clients and treat them like family.  We’re still in touch with NZ to this day.

“I was very satisfied with my experience with your firm. I felt supported and well-represented at every step in the process. I’m glad I chose D’Orazio Peterson.”

HD was one of three young women whom we represented in a collective case against a local Charter School for reverse discrimination and pregnancy discrimination.  HD had been fired along with two colleagues when a new principal came into the school, under very suspicious circumstances.

We filed suit on behalf of the three women in Federal Court, and during the process the case took many turns including a trip to a state prison to conduct the deposition of the former fiscal manager of the school.  

The three cases were settled at mediation before trial.

“I was very happy with the service provided by you and your wife. You answered all my questions satisfactorily and, if you weren’t available when I called, you got back to me very expeditiously. I couldn’t have asked for better representation and wouldn’t hesitate to hire you again, if the need arises.”

“I reached out to this law firm through a website. I recently underwent a full abdominal hysterectomy. I was surprised to learn from my surgeon that he found two surgical clamps left in my pelvis from a c-section 18yrs. ago. Scott Peterson called me within 2mins of receiving my email. He was empathetic and truly cared about my problem. I retained him without hesitation. Today I was surprised to receive an email from Scott Peterson containing educational information about medical malpractice laws. He is not your typical lawyer he truly cares about his clients.”

“Every member of the team that I was in contact with was very compassionate and helpful. I would most definitely recommend this firm to anyone in need.”
