At Effres & Effres, your satisfaction is our priority! See for yourself what our clients have to say about working with us.

    "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.

    "The lawyers were very detailed and helped explain why every step was necessary."
    After I decided to use the services of Effres and Associates I was given a list of things I needed to do in order to document my injuries. The lawyers were very detailed and helped explain why every step was necessary. Everything was my decision and they were willing to work with me instead of pushing me into what they felt was right. They also constantly communicated with me in regards to my recovery, medical issues and the progress of the case. This firm helped me get the compensation I deserved after I herniated a disc in my low back and nearly died in a car accident. Nothing can completely take away the events of one night but being able to afford any future medical treatment necessary and having been compensated for five years of lost wages was a good start. I cannot imagine using a different firm. I have referred any one I know to the lawyers at Effres and Associates because these guys are top class.

    "He never failed to answer my questions, and always gave me valuable advice"
    I found Effres & Associate by chance. Not knowing what to do after my accident, I surfed on the web and came across this company. After reviewing the testimonials, I decided to call them. For some reason, I did not want to call those big law firms that have big billboards everywhere. I went to talk to Justin on the next day, and found him to be a truly concerned young attorney. He is not a pushy lawyer, but always friendly and professional. He never failed to answer my questions, and always gave me valuable advice. After almost two years dealing with the case, Justin brought a successful ending to the case. Thanks, Justin.

    "Thanks again and keep up the good work."
    Dear Steve, Rene, Daisy & Team, We received your check and wanted to thank you for your hard work on our behalf. The money enabled us to pay off the replacement car and other bills, so it was a great help. Thanks again and keep up the good work. Our best by D & G

    "They were on top of it since the beginning. They always answered my phone calls and emails quick."
    Will recommend Steve and Justin to anybody in need of a great lawyer. They were on top of it since the beginning. They always answered my phone calls and emails quick. Frequent phone calls with updates on my case, late work hours. Ready to kick ass.

    "I want to thank you for your courtesy and professional handling of my claim."
    Dear Steven, I want to thank you for your courtesy and professional handling of my claim. For the lack of better words – Thank you! by B. E.
