What Our Clients Say

After my accident, I didn't know where to turn or what to expect walking into all of this. Then someone recommended Mr. Traub to me, and I am very grateful they did! He was very patient in explaining the legal processes to me from the start and lent a lot of encouragement and compassion along the way. I had an excellent outcome with my case thanks to Mr. Traub and his staff's hard work and persistence.

Andrew took the time and effort to keep me and my sons informed and updated on the procedure connected to our case. He also showed compassion toward both me and my Husband during a very difficult time. Dealing with Medicare was not an easy task but Andrew kept dealing with it in a professional manner and was finally able to resolve the issue.

Trust. That's the critical ingredient when choosing an attorney-- someone you can trust, completely trust, because it is going to be a long, long road in settling your personal injury case. For example, I've had two cases with Andrew Traub as my attorney. My first case took over a year to settle and the second took nearly three years. The delay had nothing to do with Andrew-- the delay was due to the intentional inertia of the opposing insurance company. The opposition's strategy, I have come to see, is they want to wear you down and out. That's where you need to lean on Andrew Traub.Andrew will get you through. With my two cases with Andrew, in each instance I had a police report that faulted the other driver. You'd think I would not have needed an attorney at all, and yet in each instance the opposing party, even with a police report against them, refused to take responsibility. It was exasperating.In three years of working with Mr. Traub, I learned a lot. Without equivocation I can vouch that you can count on Andrew Traub to champion your best interest, even if it requires many extra hours on his part (at no cost to you). He will fight and get it right.I found Mr. Traub to be professional at all times. He is responsive to his clients, timely with his filings, respected among his peers, and he is tenacious.I could not have done better than Traub Law. I'd rate my satisfaction on trust, professionalism, and results as a perfect 10 out of 10.
