"Richard and Patrick helped me get the maximum award, in under 12 months."
I had a serious accident in 2016 in which I was severely injured by an inattentive motorist. Richard and Patrick helped me get the maximum award, in under 12 months. It was extremely impressive and I'd give them my highest recommendation. - I'm 85 and have never had the need for a lawyer (other than a Will). I had an accident and called Hastings, Cohan & Walsh. I didn't have any idea what to expect....but I didn't have to worry. They had me in their back pocket throughout the process! I have total confidence the results will be fair...
