MyPhillyLawyer did a great job for me in my behalf after I was struck by a SUV at a crosswalk. They won my case and a sizeable award. Thankful and grateful for a good team who did a great job.

I was a personal injury client in a trip-and-fall case. I received excellent representation, competent, fair and diligent in every way. They were very kind and easy to work with, I felt protected and well taken care of. I highly recommend this Firm.

I had a complicated case with the My Philly Lawyer Group. I found it to be a very easy and effortless transaction. My Attorney was Frank who communicated and informed of things as soon as possible by both email and phone. Dean also stepped in frequently for assurance and adding his personal touch, even personally responding to my calls on his birthday from home! One thing I can say is that he did sway from his original fee agreement. In an effort to settle the case, Dean personally agreed to take a lesser amount. I really appreciated that and will definitely contact this firm if needed in the future!

We were referred by a friend and we received excellent advice over our accident and were happy with the settlement and the turnaround time on it. Amy Mari, Supervising Litigation Paralegal, in particular kept us up to date with our case on a regular basis, which is one of the reasons we would return. The firm itself kept its word over a handshake regarding fees, which is admirable. I’d recommend them if you have to obtain a lawyer.
