- Nathacha P.“Words cannot express how grateful we are to Andijar & Levine for everything they have done for us. From day 1 they have been there right by our sides throughout this whole process. My husband and I were in a terrible car accident in November 2015 and didn’t know what to do. We were both injured and without a car since it was totaled in the crash so Andijar & Levine sent one of their representatives name Charlie to our home to get the process started. Charlie was very professional and reassured us that everything was going to be fine. Marc Andijar was awesome from day 1 as well. He oversaw every detail of each of our cases and always took the time to personally answer questions by phone and email. My husband and I worked very closely with our attorney Anthony K. Goodman. He always went to bat for us and fought tooth and nail to get us both the best possible and fair settlements. Just like Marc Andijar, Tony was always reachable by phone, email and even text. When the time came for our depositions Tony walked us through that whole process as well. We would also like to thank Eleana Mendieta for always handling the day to day details like getting our appointments scheduled and always being on top of her game. Andijar & Levine is so on the ball that a few times I accidentally pocket dialed them and I always got a call back from Anna at the front desk! We definitely recommend Andijar & Levine and will refer anyone who is looking for an attorney to use this law firm!!’
