"I came to James H. Brown and Associates after an experience with another personal injury firm where I was essentially ignored. I dealt with Stefano and right from the start he was awesome. He was very communicative and promised me that my suit would be settled quickly especially since the previous firm had dragged their feet for several years. My suit was settled quicker than expected and for more money than expected which I was very happy with. I hope to never have to deal with them again of course because I wouldn't want to be in another accident, but if I am, they will be the first people I call."
"I have been treated with the utmost respect and dignity throughout the whole process of my litigation and the end result has turned out better than anticipated. I would definitely recommend James H. Brown & Associates and I would absolutely use them again, but hopefully I will not need to. Nicole was beyond wonderful."
"Ms. Surkont was assigned to my injury claim in the spring of 2019. I have just received my settlement for that claim and I want to express my deep appreciation for all of Ms. Surkont’s help. She was friendly, efficient, hard-working and effective in getting the claim off the ground quickly and resolving it without needing to go to court. Considering my age, I really appreciated not having to go into a long drawn out proceeding to get living expenses. If Ms. Surkont is an example of the calibre of your staff, I can see why your company has the excellent reputation it has for accident and injury claims. My sincere thanks to her and your staff."
