Steps to Take After a Work Accident

    “He allowed me to vent, responded accordingly, and return my text message as if we were friends.”
    Through this very difficult period in my life, I reached out to the Legal Aid Society and they assigned a Lawyer to assist me in filing for bankruptcy protection. Andrew Sexton took the time to speak with me on the phone, he walked me through the process with detailed emails explaining what I needed to do in order to make the process go smoothly. He allowed me to vent, responded accordingly, and return my text message as if we were friends. Everything was conducted electronically, and on the phone, we never met in person…. Amazing. I highly recommend this firm with handling your financial issues regarding Bankruptcy. Thanks, Mr. Sexton for your professionalism and your due diligence in regard to my case

    “From the very beginning, they were professional and very efficient in dealing with my case.”
    I was in a car accident back in July and got rear-ended because some guy was rushing on his way to work, you would think the guy would want to save more time by not filling out a police report and dealing with lawyer stuff but I guess not. I went on Google and found the Sexton Law Firm. From the very beginning, they were professional and very efficient in dealing with my case. I had the pleasure of meeting the head honcho, James Sexton. He was very personable and reassuring in taking care of my case. My case was dealt within one year, he even helped me get the medical assistance I needed. The entire time the law firm sent out ongoing emails giving me updates and letting me know how long I would have to wait for a response from the other party.
    Everything worked out perfectly, In the event that I am ever in another accident, I would definitely hire this firm again to handle it. Do I recommend them? Yes I do!
