Joel H. Schwartz, P.C.

Steve was incredibly helpful guiding me on how to handle an issue with an insurance provider. He knew he couldn't take the case due to jurisdictional issues but spent an hour advising me. The team is honest, straightforward and incredibly bright. They have helped friends in the past.

After getting hit by some kid flying at 100mph in pouring rain on a Maine highway, I needed legal help fast. My case was a mess - I was in a company loaner car, had existing health problems, and the guy who hit me was badly underinsured.

Christopher Dailey at Joel H. Schwartz made sense of everything. He didn't promise the moon, just asked specific questions and explained things clearly. When I needed neck surgery for 99% spinal compression from the crash, Chris fought to prove this was accident-related despite my complex medical history.

They got me a five figure settlement - not life-changing money, but it covered medical bills and helped while I was on disability. Chris was honest that my payout could've been much bigger with better insurance coverage (which I fixed right away!).

They were both professional and real people. They were a steady hand during a chaotic time. After some small hiccups at the start, everything with Chris's team was smooth sailing. They handled all the complicated stuff so I could focus on healing.

Already sent friends their way. When you're hurting and stressed about medical bills, having lawyers who treat you like a person, not just another case number, makes all the difference. Pic below doesn’t do justice to what actually happened.

After being rear-ended in a car accident, my car was totaled and I was having pain in my sacrum area. Since I'd had a spinal fusion surgery in the past, I knew I needed to protect myself legally.

From my first call with John at Joel H. Schwartz, I felt heard and understood - like a real person, not just another client. He clearly explained my options, the insurance process, and even gave advice on fixing gaps in my car insurance policy.

John checked in regularly about my medical appointments and was super responsive - usually within 12 hours. The biggest relief came from how I could focus on getting better while they handled everything else. They got all the paperwork, and I didn't have to worry about the administrative stuff.

When it came time to negotiate, John significantly increased their initial offer by nearly 80%, securing a settlement that approached the policy limit within about a week once talks started.

The team was totally reliable - both Lily and Martin were helpful whenever I reached out. I've already recommended them to a friend who learned more in one meeting than she did in two years with her previous lawyer. If you want someone who actually cares and keeps you in the loop, these folks are your people.
