I had taken a bad fall down steps in the winter, then the following year got rear-ended and you talk about a double whammy. Lisa Poch was there for me in both cases and made sure I was getting the care I needed. This Firm is a very friendly group of professionals doing their best to help us that get injured and need money to pay for the care needed. I spent quite a bit out of my pocket so I could recover and when it came time to settle my case I felt confident I would get fair compensation, and I did. Lisa Poch is an awesome lawyer and I have really appreciated her being my advocate and fighting for what I deserved.
