Client Testimonials

Working with these attorneys was a positive experience despite it being centered around a very painful diagnosis of mesothelioma. It was quickly evident that this firm is centered around you as a person and part of a family. Joe Kramer worked with my father with compassion and encouragement so that he felt emotionally strong enough to follow through with the lawsuit. John Comerford and Grace Gannon kept us informed of any issues we needed to address and guided us professionally through the paperwork. They were always available to answer questions and did so with extreme sensitivity. Our family was always treated with dignity, honesty, and respect. I appreciate their diligent, hard work on our behalf and would recommend them to anyone battling this terrible, preventable disease.

When my father in law was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2006 and passed way months later my mother in law contracted Lipsitz, Poterio & Comerford.
So when my wife was diagnosed many years later with the same horrible condition, they were the ones we called because of the way my mother in law was treated, with compassion and dignity. Her lawyer was Mr. Comerford who did a wonderful job representing her.
Fast forward to my wife's case we have been represented by Matt Morton who has been nothing short of tenacious. He is both very professional and yet someone that you can talk to easily.
You are reading this review because you have a problem and need help, I can honestly say that if Matt is your lawyer you are being represented by the best person possible!

I cannot thank John Comerford and Eric Winnert enough. They fought for my Mom even 2 1/2 yrs after her passing. My Father, siblings and I cannot say enough for their professionalism and overall kindness. They worked with my Mom over 2 decades ( if not more) to get a settlement. Thank you so much. Lori
