"I want to thank you and say, God Bless you. If I ever need a lawyer again I won’t forget you."Dear Mr. Effres, It was very kind of you to want to help me with getting settled with social security. I did not send any papers, as I thought I should wait until the first of the month. I have received my check at last. It came on the 3rd of August. I must tell you it made me very happy to know you wanted to help me. I did appreciate that so much, and I want to thank you and say, God Bless you. Sincerely, M. K. P.S If I ever need a lawyer again I won’t forget you. by M. K.- M.K.

"I can say I am a very happy camper and well pleased."On September 30th 2014 I was in distress following an automobile accident that totaled my vehicle. I was devastated and in excruciating pain to my chest, neck and upper back! Next day I made a desperate call to Effres & Associates who came highly recommended by a previous Attorney. A few days later an Attorney travelled to my home, interviewed me and decided to handle my case! He was diligent and professional and worked very hard with me. Called very often to give me updates on the progress of my case!! Today, 21 months later he settled my case for the maximum $$$ allowed by the opposing Insurance Company. I can say I am a very happy camper and well pleased with "My Attorney" and would recommend Effres & Associates anytime or anywhere. Thanks for allowing me to share my experience!!- L.C.
