Sentiment Analysis

I recommend them to everyone
In particular, Josephine Ruby was extremely patient, professional and prompt in answering all my questions and concerns.
I think my best statement to make is I would enthusiastically recommend Hansen & Rosasco LLP to other cancer suffering persons who were in the catchment area on and after 9/11/01.
In particular, Josephine Ruby has gone above and beyond in helping me and being responsive even on weekends and holidays.
Both Kathy Duran and Josephine Ruby were and are truly wonderful in every way.
Very pleased with the support, guidance and the results.
She stated that she had already spoken to a witness who was confused about how to fill out the information, she familiarized herself with my case before contacting me, she communicated a plan of action and she made me feel that my case was a priority.
The attorneys and paralegals are very knowledgeable.
