The attorney I was referred to for my accident was pretty good. His name is
Eric Stravitz and he is based in MD. I was very happy to have him work on my case and I never had to talk to any insurance company personnel through the whole ordeal and the outcome was excellent.
I agree with posters above that if ones is involved in an accident, talk to a lawyer and take advantage of their free initial consultation. A good attorney will not take a case if there isn't a decent chance that they can win or get compensation on your behalf.
