    I can’t say enough good things
    I can’t say enough good things about Atty DeZao’s office, especially Valerie. After my accident in 2022, I felt completely in the dark and overwhelmed. For almost a year, I didn’t really understand what was going on with my case, and it was honestly frustrating and stressful. Everything changed when Valerie took over. From the moment she stepped in, she guided me every step of the way. She took the time to explain things clearly, answered every single question I had (no matter how small), and made sure I truly understood the process. More importantly, she made me feel heard, valued, and important, not just like another case. Valerie went above and beyond. She didn’t just handle my case professionally, she treated me with genuine care and compassion. She felt more like a friend or a big sister, always giving thoughtful advice and reassurance when I needed it most. If you’re looking for a team that truly cares, I highly recommend Atty DeZao’s office, and if you’re lucky enough to work with Valerie, you’re in the best hands.

    Valentina truly made the difference.
    I can’t say enough good things about Valentina! From the moment she took on my case, she was completely on top of everything. As a victim of a car accident, it was a stressful and emotional time, but Valentina made the process so much easier. She truly cared—not just about the case, but about me as a person. She was smart, professional, and incredibly strong in advocating for what was right. While I didn’t have the same positive experience with the attorneys at the firm, Valentina stood out as the one who really knew her stuff and pushed the case forward. I'm so grateful for all her hard work—she truly made the difference. Thank you, Valentina!

    Definitely Recommended
    Definitely recommended! Elizabeth has been very helpful in settling my accident claim. I have worked with another big-name law firm prior to this firm who dragged the process for years and at the end told they couldn’t settle anything. Elizabeth has settled the case in a few months without any hassle to myself. Thank you very much!

    Exceptional Professionalism and Dedication
    I had the pleasure of working with Yessica Nieto, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the initial consultation to the resolution of my motor vehicle accident case, Yessica demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. What truly stood out was her responsiveness. She was available to answer any questions, provide updates, and help with scheduling doctor visits. She's a proactive communicator and really made a potentially stressful experience much more manageable. Yessica was both thorough and personable. She took the time to explain complex legal issues and made sure I was informed and comfortable with every step of the process. Her attention to detail and commitment to my case were evident throughout - I also saw that she wanted to achieve the best outcome for me. She handled my case with the utmost care and professionalism, and I am incredibly grateful for the outcome.

    I had a motor vehicle accident, and this firm has been so patient with me throughout the 3 years of my case. Valentina and Rachel have really been a lot of help. They talked me through everything and helped me understand what was going on. I've had accidents before, but nothing like this. My car was totaled. It was scary, and this firm made me feel at ease. They always got back to me. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case and the services this office gave me. Also, I LOVE their pens!

    My experience was amazing
    My experience with the Law Offices of James C. DeZao was amazing. They were very professional, polite, supportive, and ultimately respectful. My case manager Megan was a huge help to my family and me with everything. I was a pedestrian who was hit by a car, and throughout the process, they were with me. My best friend referred me to this law office, and I would recommend anyone to them at any time. I truly thank and appreciate all the experience with them. I would never second-guess them at all.

    Choosing to be represented by The Law Offices of James DeZao after my car accident was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Aside from the professionalism and courteous care I received, my case manager/paralegal, Valentina, worked tirelessly on my behalf to ensure the best outcome for my case. I was kept informed and up to date throughout the process, and the level of compassion and support I received, even during my surgery and recovery, was unmatched. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my case and in the process, I've gained an extended family. I would highly recommend The Law Offices of James DeZao to any and everyone in need of legal counsel for personal injury. Amazing team!

    Yessica in particular is long-suffering, extremely thorough, and very good at her job! I do not think I could have done better in a complex case, where I was struck, on foot, by a car, in a crosswalk, and my Union 464A "Welfare Fund" refused to cover a "motor vehicle-related" accident! Thank you!

    Everything You Need to Know
    • What evidence do I need for my case?
      For a rideshare accident case, gather evidence such as accident photos, witness statements, and medical records. Police reports and copies of communications with the rideshare company or its insurers are also valuable. Your attorney can help identify and collect appropriate evidence to build a strong case and support your claim for compensation.
    • Can I sue Uber or Lyft for an accident?
      You can potentially take legal action against Uber or Lyft, depending on the accident's details. Generally, their insurance policies can cover accidents involving their drivers. However, the ability to sue directly can depend on various factors like the driver's status at the time of the accident. Consult a personal injury attorney to evaluate your case and explore your options.
    • How does a contingency fee work?
      A contingency fee means your attorney only gets paid if you win your case. The fee is a percentage of the settlement or award you receive. This arrangement allows you to access legal assistance without upfront costs, making it affordable to pursue your claim. Discussing fee structures with your attorney will provide clarity on what to expect throughout the legal process.
    • Do I need a lawyer for a rideshare accident?
      While it's not a requirement, having a lawyer can be beneficial. Rideshare accident claims can be complex, involving multiple parties and insurance companies. An attorney helps navigate the legal process, negotiate settlements, and ensure your rights are protected. They can also assist in maximizing your compensation for injuries and damages.
