What Our Clients Say

I would highly recommend Andrew Traub and his Lawfirm. After my accident I had a complicated birth and 4 other lawyers refused to take my case. Andrew was very understanding and informative from the start. He gave me options and expectations and kept me in the loop of what was going with my case the entire time. I really appreciate all the hard work he and his team did so that I could be compensated for my injuries.
