What Our Clients Say About Us
Steve was fantastic! His initial estimate on any potential settlement was exceeded through his skill, professionalism and trusted relationship with fellow litigators. He and his assistant Ms. Santiago explained things admirably and dealt with all of my questions and concerns in a timely and effective manor. Thank you so much to both of you for your support and effectiveness through this difficult time.
- BrianMr. Steve Franco has been my attorney for the past seven years. He is reliable, professional, sincere and exceptionally best at what he does. I feel extremely fortunate to have found him to represent me. I trust him with utmost confidence in all of his advice and so far the end results have well exceeded my expectations! What separates him from the rest of them out there is that he truly enjoys his work.
- JohnI was injured at work and was tired of "insurance company doctors" that just wanted to prescribe medication and send me on my way. My medical care improved significantly with the help of Mr. Franco. He communicated complex issues in terms I could understand... And when the case was done I was only charged a very fair fee. If you need help navigating through legal matters I really suggest you give Mr. Franco a call. He's a top notch attorney.
