WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US!

REVIEWS

I am so glad I found this firm when I was searching for personal injury attorneys in New York. I contacted them through their website and they scheduled a free consultation immediately. I was nervous at first because I never had to deal with a personal injury case but I was informed about the procedure and timeline very thoroughly. From the beginning until the end my slip and fall case was professionally examined. The attorneys at this firm are very attentive and friendly too. All in all I’m very satisfied with my settlement, and I would not go anywhere else if I had a personal injury case in New York again.

Oscar

My car accident case was handled by this firm. I am sure you receive compliments all the time about your work, but here are some more! I was very impressed with all you did on my case. It is obvious that you are both very knowledgeable and very talented in your field. I thought you handled my case efficiently and effectively, and that the case came to a fair conclusion. Additional compliments to all the staff at this New York personal injury firm; my contact with them was always smooth and trouble-free.

After a tragedy, I found myself with a lot of important decisions to make moving forward, and a lot of unanswered questions. When I decided to hire Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool And The Law Office Of William A. Gallina, LLP, I was immediately put at ease. Mr. Barry Washor and all of the staff gave me confidence that my questions and uncertainty would be taken care of. Mr. Washor and his staff were very professional and knowledgeable. I truly thank the attorneys and staff for helping me and my family through this.

High-quality lawyers, top tier case evaluation, and service! My sister was severely injured in a car crash last year, and after consulting different firms, we decided to take our case to Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool And The Law Office Of William A. Gallina, LLP. First of all, they are VERY nice, smart, and experienced. You can feel it the second you walk in their office and talk to them. After all, we moved on together and the settlement was fair and satisfactory.

Yolanda

Now that we have approached the close of my medical malpractice case, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool And The Law Office Of William A. Gallina, LLP for all that they've done for my family and I. We appreciate this firm for understanding and being genuinely concerned while working on our behalf. I would like to personally thank Dallin Fuchs for going above and beyond the call of duty. May God continue to richly bless you in all your future endeavors!

Eric

After my super fell down in an elevator shaft at work, he reached out to Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool And The Law Office Of William A. Gallina, LLP for help. From the beginning until the end, the attorneys and the staff at this firm have helped him so much. The attorneys at this firm are not only hardworking and professional but also very down to earth and kind. The injury was due to a negligent failure to lock the elevator and the firm was able to settle the case for a very suitable amount of money. We recommend this firm to anyone who is looking for a very nice treatment, and I would go to them if I was in a hardship like my superintendent.

Monica

We are so grateful for your firm’s commitment to my mom’s case and all the hard work and sacrifice you poured into the case. We were impressed with the trial exhibits that were used during the trial, and I was especially happy with the witnesses they called. It was evident that they did their homework over the past 8 years before the trial. They were very prepared and astute with cross-examination, and the decisions made during the trial proved in favor for my mom. I am so pleased with your law firm and will recommend your firm to friends and family.

Stephanie & Evelyn

Attorney Washor recently won a car accident case I was involved in. The process was very thorough and everyone at the firm was patient, professional, and understanding during my involvement there. I really recommend Queller, Fisher, Washor, Fuchs & Kool And The Law Office Of William A. Gallina, LLP if you are involved in an accident.

Jessica

Dear Mr. Gallina, I would personally like to thank both you and Pablo for the way that you handled my aunt’s lawsuit. Pablo was outstanding. When he gave his presentation, I found him to be meticulous to detail and able to think quickly on his feet. He always kept focus on the “big picture.” I would like to think I would have written this note regardless of the outcome of the case. Winning, though, does make it nicer. My aunt would have been pleased with the outcome.

Nick

Extremely satisfied with the results. Barry Washor is a top medical malpractice attorney and with his lead, my results couldn't have been better. You have to trust these guys and schedule a consultation before reaching out to any other firms. They are very attentive to detail and they always make sure to listen to different sides of your case. The attorneys are very experienced and they have had so many exemplary cases on medical malpractice. Strongly recommended if you're looking to WIN.

Jennifer

My wife and I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the personal care and attention that you and your office has directed towards our family in our time of need. We are greatly appreciative of your professionalism and wish you and your family all the best.

Barton

Dear Mr. Gallina, It is well known that doctors do not like lawyers, but this is not what this letter is about. I was asked to give expert testimony, something that I normally decline. I had the pleasure of working with Pablo Sosa on a case. I found him to be extremely well organized, personable, focused, and directed in his assessment of the case. It was a pleasure from the first to last, and I would be remiss if I did not let you know.
