I contacted this firm in September of 2007, after being involved in a rear-end collision early that year. My case was settled in September 2013 after 1 shoulder surgery, and 2 cervical spine surgeries. Had they not been patient and settled immediately, I would not have received the settlement I received. My personal opinion about them is this...they are ethical, fair, and honest - 3 virtues upon which I insist. The last thing I wanted when looking for an attorney was an "ambulance chaser." Not only were Steve and Jade easily accessible, but the receptionist (Josephine) is a doll. There is nothing negative I can say about this firm and would recommend Melley and Platania, without hesitation, to anyone who has been injured in an accident. read more
