Rebecca was easy to talk to and work with regarding the issue at hand and was very up front what she could do for me and the financial costs. She was very candid regarding the potential outcomes in moving forward or not. I was very happy that this issue was about me and not what she could charge me for her services. It was not about dragging it out to line her pockets. She always encouraged me to do what was best for me and my family and presented a valuable impartial position. I would highly recommend her services for anyone needing legal advice. She also provides a free consultation which was very helpful in my situation to determine whether to move forward. Tonya Lawyer

But when one of the only lawyers in Plattsburgh, NY is skilled enough at his job to save you several extra trips to a town court Upstate, it's anything but weird. It's incredible. Back story (I'll keep it brief): I got a speeding ticket en route to Montreal and had no idea I was a scofflaw. Makes me sound like some cool guy from a Steve McQueen movie, but it's a total pain in the ass. In a lapse of good followthrough, I had an outstanding ticket from 2012 that had never settled. That resulted in a compound penalty that could have been quite unfortunate. But with the help of Mr. Johnston, I walked away without any serious damage to my wallet or driving record. If you saw the details of my original proposed fate, this was like being rescued by a Fairy Godmother. If I had to identify not so pleasant part of my experience, it'd be his paralegal. She seemed less than thrilled and not overly eager to assist when I'd call with questions. But besides a cantankerous front desk person, I'd recommend his firm if you find yourself in a similarly unfortunate situation.

Heidi Groff is our absolute Hero!! Heidi Groff, and her team, at Biggam Fox Skinner saved our…read morefamily from ruin. I thank God that I found Heidi online, and called her when I did. I had sustained a back injury while trying to move a patient when I was working at the Hospital. I was placed on light duty, received endless amounts of physical therapy, and injections. I just wasn't getting the results I needed to live a normal life. After a couple of years, it became clear that I needed a more permanent solution. There was a newer type of surgery that I found, and after a consultation with the surgeon who developed the treatment, it was suggested that it could help me greatly. The workers' compensation insurance company wanted nothing at all to do with the surgery, and without Heidi in my corner, I would have gone down to defeat. Thankfully, I had Heidi Groff and her firm fighting for me. She made sure that I was given the care that I needed, financial support to keep my family from going homeless, and she fought for me to get the surgery I needed paid for by the workers' compensation insurance company. She fought and won a case for another client who needed the same surgery, and this set the precedent for others in Vermont with the same injury to receive the surgery under workers compensation. When all was said and done, and I reached my maximum medical improvement, Heidi negotiated a handsome settlement for us. The money she was able to get us was incredibly helpful in enabling us to get on with our life. I simply cannot say strongly enough how much we appreciate Heidi Groff, and the whole team at Biggam Fox Skinner. They saved us from a terrible situation, and we are eternally grateful. If you have been injured, and need help, call Heidi and her team now! You'll be glad you did, I promise. Sincerely, Michael Allen
