“I’m so happy that I decided to retain Joseph & Norinsberg! I worked with Bennitta Joseph and John Meehan. They made me feel so much more secure in what was a scary process for me. Whenever I had a question Bennitta and John had no problem getting on the phone to patiently explain things to me. They didn’t sugarcoat things, but were always respectful and made sure that I was ok with whatever course of action would be taken on my behalf. As someone that went into this not trusting the legal system or even lawyers, that meant a great deal to me. My case had some unexpected turns, but Bennitta and John were not afraid to rise to the challenge and fight for me. In less than a year I was able to settle my case due to their skillful negotiating. Even the mediator told me she was impressed by their negotiation skills. I definitely don’t regret working with these 2 attorney’s. One of the best life changing decisions of my life!”
