Say About Powers & Santola

★★★★★

My experiences with Powers
& Santola were always positive.

Dan Santola helped guide my family through a difficult time and process with the highest sense of compassion and knowledge. Dan’s reputation in his field was evident. When I told other lawyers (both friends and business contacts) that we were working with Powers & Santola, we always hear in response – ‘Oh, they are by far the best in the state.’

- Joseph, Medical Malpractice Client

★★★★★

It was not a long drawn out affair!
I highly recommend this firm

As an injured client, the team at Powers & Santola explained the legal process in a friendly manner that I could understand. In court, they were very professional. After, they helped in obtaining health insurance and information on handling my settlement. They had a very friendly and caring team, even after the case was done. Oh yeah, they are fast.

Skill

Our attorneys thoroughly investigate cases and explore all sources of compensation available to our clients. We know how to aggressively negotiate with insurance companies and successfully prepare cases for trial. In every case, we focus on even the smallest details. We realize that those details can make a major difference in the outcome of our clients’ cases.

Resources

Our law firm features eight attorneys and five paralegals who are wholly committed to providing our clients with the service and support they need during challenging times. In addition, our firm regularly retains nationally-prominent expert consultants in the fields of medicine, economics, engineering, and social science to prove our clients with the highest quality of representation.

We accept only a limited number of cases. There’s a reason for that: We want to make sure that each client receives the full benefit of our resources and gets the personal attention they deserve.
