Client Reviews
I can honestly say that Travis Greene and Shire Patel, attorneys at Anidjar & Levine, treated me like family after my accident. The thoughfulness, attention to detail, follow up phone calls and emails, scheduling appointments, helping with repairs to my car, were things I could never have accomplished without them. My sincerest heartfelt appreciation to them and their amazing firm. I would have no problem whatsoever recommending them to anyone & everyone.
- Andrea V.Back in February of this year me and my boyfriend at the time got hit by a bus. My car was totaled and the entire process was a huge hassle until my father put me in contact with the firm. After that it was pretty much smooth sailing. Most of the stress was taken off of my shoulders and they really helped me focus on getting myself better while they took care of everything else. I was updated constantly and all of my questions and concerns were addressed almost immediately. The lawsuit is finally being wrapped up and I have to say im extremely happy that Shire Patel was the person put on my case. He would personally call me just to update me on everything and make sure that everything was alright on my end. Shire was always polite and friendly. I couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience. Altogether, If anything even remotely close to this situation ever happens again I will not hesitate to call Shire.
- Tyler R.I had nothing but a positive experience with the Law Firm of Anidjar & Levine. What I admired the most is the level of professionalism among his staff from Anna at the front desk, who is always pleasant and polite to speak to and my attorney Marc and Jonathan Holtz who returned every call and email. Jonathan kept me well informed every step of the way. I had a horrible experience in the past with another attorney who was the complete opposite from this law firm. I can honestly say that, they surpassed my expectation and made sure that I was compensated appropriately for my injuries that I sustained in a vehicle accident. At this point their number is saved in phone and it will remain that way. They will always be the law firm I choose to represent me in the future if the need ever occurs.
