It is my pleasure to write this well deserved review. After a lengthy search - and I do mean lengthy (3 months) - I finally found a personal injury law firm for a car accident I was involved in. I was rear-ended by a commercial truck. I suffered from a concussion, bruised chest wall (airbag deployed) and x-rays and CT scans showed something wrong with my back. The pain was horrible, I could not sleep, I could not pick up even small things like a laundry basket without screaming in pain, I was stuck in a blur of orthopedic specialist treatment along with physical therapy several times a week. I really thought the pain would never end. That along with the insurance companies harassing me and medical bills piling up, I really felt lost and did not know what to do. So, hence the search for an attorney began.
This firm stood out because when I called for a free consultation I was not rushed, I was not pushed into using their firm, and I felt informed after a lengthy conversation (1 hour). The person I spoke to really gave me the individual attention and time, above all I felt comfort. I felt like that was so important since I was never involved in anything like this before. After another month of debate (no harassing calls on their end) I finally called them back, and I was impressed that whoever picked up my call the second time already knew what happened and that all my accident details were already in their system. I was dreading that I might have to go explain the whole thing again. I told her my situation and I wanted to hire them, but I really had no time to come into their Boston office. She said it would not be a problem and that the attorney would come out and meet me at my home or somewhere in my town so I felt comfortable and they would do the paperwork with me there (awesome!). The attorney, John Vlassakis, met me at my house in Mansfield and we did the paperwork, he went through each and every page explaining exactly what I was signing. He answered every single one of my questions and told me about the process and what I might expect.
Attorney Vlassakis personally called me every couple of weeks to check up on me and he always took my calls. He was always friendly, professional, compassionate, and always gave me the answers that I needed, along with get this...HONESTY...he never sugarcoated things and would always let me know of any issues. Because of this, I really trusted him and he was not just telling me things I wanted to hear. I wanted the truth always. He helped me through every active detail of my case, from getting my car fixed to making sure that my medical bills were paid. The phone calls from the insurance companies immediately stopped and the bill collectors seemed like they disappeared into thin air. I could finally take a deep breath and concentrate on getting better. His paralegal Charleah was very sweet and she took the time to help me coordinate my medical appointments and gave all the doctors the information they needed to send the bills to. I never had to pay a co-payment out of pocket (which would have been a small fortune in itself). After a year and a half of ongoing treatment I was finally feeling better. As always, Attorney Vlassakis (or John and I called him) told me at that point that "we will take care of everything and you do not need to worry about a thing." Those words were music to my ears. He would periodically call me maybe once every few weeks and update me on the little details, and how his negotiations were going. I never had to pick up the phone to call him. A few months later I received a hefty settlement (I got more than I was expecting) with a summary sheet that showed me exactly what I would be netting before I agreed to it. There were no surprises at all.
I am telling you that if you ever need a personal injury attorney call this firm. From beginning til end, I had not one complaint. These guys really care about their clients. I'm just sorry I did not call them sooner. It's been almost a year since the settlement of my case and I still received a birthday card from them. If something like this ever happened to me again, they are the only ones I would call. read more
