Patrice I. | Dec. 2023

“I was referred to Burger Law after a car accident and Gary and Team did not disappoint. They took great care of me. Gary, Mike and Amanda kept in contact and I could easily reach them by email or phone and receive a quick reply. They settled my case and made sure I was fairly compensated. I highly recommend the Burger Law Firm.”
