I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Joseph Culgin and I cannot thank him enough for his professionalism, dedication, and the attention to detail he put into my case. After meeting with Mr. Culgin for the first time I felt confident I would be taken care of. He exceeded all of my expectations and truly fought for all of my needs. Thank you Mr. Culgin for fighting for my needs and for not settling for less. If anyone I know is unfortunate enough to get hurt at work and are in need of a lawyer I will highly recommend Mr. Culgin and Keches Law Group.

I highly recommend Lauren Van Iderstine and her expertise in worker's compensation cases. Atty LVI and her team of assistants eased my mind because they were quick to respond to all my questions, always professional and made me feel comfortable during the entire process. I would highly recommend Atty LVI and her team at Keches Law Group!

Lauren Van Iderstine was incredible in handling and getting the most money for my case! I recommend her 1 million percent. Truly an artist in the court room! Karen, her secretary, also was amazing; fast my returning my phone calls and emails every step of the way!

In February of 2015, my husband was injured in a work-related accident. He ended up needing an attorney to represent him for his Workers Comp. case. That attorney referred us to Adam Becker to handle the 3rd party lawsuit. From the beginning, Adam worked tirelessly on our behalf. He always returned our calls in a timely manner, and prepared us for every possible outcome. We finally settled last December, and couldn’t be happier with how things turned out! I’ll be honest. I never really put much faith in lawyers. But, happily, Adam changed my mind! He went out of his way to make us feel like our suffering mattered...like WE mattered! He treated us like we weren’t just clients, but friends. His compassion, honesty and integrity are second to none. Thank you, Adam, for always putting your “clients” first, and for never giving up! We consider you a friend, and will recommend you to anyone who needs representation!

I was fortunate enough to have Attorney Griffin Hanrahan represent me in my workers compensation case. He was always helpful, knowledgeable, respectful, and professional throughout my case. I was able to easily contact him whenever I needed, and he’d patiently answer all of my questions and validate my concerns. He advocated for me every step up of the way, and I’m forever grateful to him for his support and for settling my case. I would recommend Griffin to anyone who needs an excellent attorney!

He made the entire process seamless and extremely easy for me. I never had to worry at all because of his consistent and thorough communication; he kept me informed every step of the way. Attorney Hislop has a way of making me feel at ease throughout this whole process. He is extremely professional, attentive, and reassuring. He is very knowledgeable in his area of expertise. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a workers comp claim.I am so very thankful and forever grateful for all of his hard work.

I can't say enough about Brian Sullivan. Brian has been helping me navigate a beyond stressful situation regarding back wages. He is patient. He is funny. He is always ready to fight for you. Always. During times like this, you absolutely have to trust your attorney. I don't think you can find a better attorney for any of your needs. Go Brian!

I worked with Attorney John Hislop, Which was one of the best decisions I have made. He was on top of everything involving my case. If I had a question concerning anything involving the case he would give me the answer right away and if he didn't have it, he would find the answer and get back to me as soon as possible. He is a very efficient and effective attorney. Not only that but he is very professional in the way he handles cases. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great attorney to represent them.

I worked with Attorney Robert Cirafice for well over a year now and my case has just been settled. He was always there for me whenever I needed it. If i ever had a question he knew the answer. He is one amazing lawyer that always is there to help. I also had a great experience any time I talked to any of the staff at Keches Law Group. They are easy going and easy to talk to. They all know their stuff and no matter the task they can do it! I would highly recommend anyone to go to them! If my family or I ever need a lawyer again I am calling them!

I just want to thank Tim Cellino for all that he’s done on my behalf! He’s been there every step of the process consistently checking in on my well being. At first I was skeptical about the whole process, I wasn’t aware of my rights as a injured worker and Tim and his team explained everything I needed to know. A+ experience working with Tim. Again thank you Tim and the whole Keches Law Group. All your help has been greatly appreciated!

I’ve been with this law firm since October 2018 my lawyer is Kelli Silver I think she is an incredible assess to any company she’s is very smart and listens to her clients and always keep them informed of what’s taking place .my workers compensation case is still going on but I am confident that down the road I will be getting a pretty good settlement because of the lawyer I have , there are a lot of big Insurance companies that don’t care about how much pain you’re going through and how many sleepless nights and when it comes down to it they want to pay you off with a very small amount of money . I’m happy that I have someone to stand up for my rights . thank you ! Kelli Silver. Your the best !

Attorney Downing and Ana Flores were amazing! They helped me understand every step within the process and they always looked out for my best interest. I strongly believe no other law firm could have achieved the settlement we did. I want to truly thank them for their hard work, applied knowledge and patience with explaining the ins and outs of workers compensation process. Thank you!!

I am so happy that I was referred to Joe. Joe, got me over to a new doctor. This doctor did more for me in the few months, then the previous doctor did in over a year. I am finally on a path to heal. Joe and his team are on point with handling anything and everything. I don’t know where I would be health wise, if not for their quick actions on all my matters. If you are looking for a great lawyer, Joe and his team are and should be, your first choice. Now let’s talk about Erica. She is another great asset to the law firm. She is professional and a pleasure to speak to. She has handled my car accident, allowing me to heal. She listened to me as a Mom not just a client. Everything I needed done, she handled, along with her team.Another first choice for a great lawyer.Thanks,Donna S

I worked with Stephanie D. Scotto regarding my personal injury case. Stephanie is efficient, very knowledgeable and was consistently in contact with me, keeping me aware of all/any new developments in my case, etc. At one point, an offer came through and having no idea of what to do (accept the offer or ... ), I simply had to rely upon Stephanie. Stephanie believed that we could get a better offer and indeed, she was correct! I highly recommend working with Stephanie, who is also very pleasant/agreeable.

Thank you Attorney Markle!When the car accident happened we were so distraught as to whether our daughter would survive, let alone be able to walk again. From the beginning it was clear that everyone was lawyered up, and was not on our side. We were clearly over our heads. Attorney Markle battled with the driver's car insurance, our car insurance, hospital bills, and our health insurance. We never could have dealt with this insurance maze on our own. He was personable, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain things to us. By Attorney Markle taking care of this, we were able to focus ourselves on our daughter's recovery. In our time of need Attorney Markle was strongly referred to us. We will definitely strongly refer him to anyone we come across!

Attorney Tim Cellino & Keches Law Firm roCks!!!It’s absolutely a shame before God the way we employees are treated when injured at work. No one would help me. NO ONE. I called no name lawyers, well known lawyers who advertise on TV—I was at my wits end. I was doing a search one day and came upon Keches Law Firm. I reluctantly called after continuously getting nowhere. I spoke w/ one of the assistants and I honestly wasn’t expecting much. The next thing I know I’m signing paperwork authorizing Mr. Cellino to represent me. WOW. He told me what to expect and when I tell you Tim Cellino delivered—he did!My injury occurred back in Feb of 2016. The company which I had worked for was useless; I didn’t even get to see an orthopedic specialist until a month after the injury because of how the employer intentionally dragged their feet. It was absolutely horrible! And they were trying to insist I return to work even though I couldn’t even walk after a steroid shot given to me. Tim Cellino and Keches Law group did for me what no other lawyer would—they took my case, fought for me & got me justice. I am so VERY GRATEFUL to Mr. Tim Cellino. He & Keches Law Firm are what ALL lawyers should be like.

The first time I walked into the office, I was greeted and acknowledged by those who saw me. That was a good sign and I felt I made the right decision to go with Keches Law Group. My Lawyer is Adam Becker and during my first meeting with him, I was extremely confident that there would a positive outcome to my case and there was. Each time I called his office, his team was very friendly and helpful to me. I would certainly refer Keches to those who need the help and support for their case.
