Client Testimonials

Thank you to the team at Gersowitz Libo & Korek, and especially to our wonderful attorney Anthony Makarov. Mr. Makarov was our trial attorney who took our case to a jury verdict against very difficult odds. The jury ruled in our favor, and we were awarded substantially above the insurance policies in question. The entire firm was involved in our case, from staff to associates and partners, and we knew they were rooting for us. Do not be afraid to use GLK if English is not your first language, we used a translator with great success. There are many law firms that claim they will go to trial, but most don't. GLK truly listen to their clients and listened to our request for a trial. They not only did what we asked but made sure we had access to the best expert witness. They explained all the risks along the way, but in the end, they deferred all decisions to us, their clients. They truly care deeply about their clients. I cannot recommend GLK enough. It is an important decision to choose the right attorneys. GLK was there with us from start to finish over a period of 4+ years. Thank you so much to the GLK team!
