They assured me that even when things were looking bleak, they were not going to stop fighting, and that is exactly what they have done. Fought and won!

Catastrophic Injury

After being injured on the job, I hired McEldrew Purtell despite my positive history with another lawyer because I found them to be highly competent and people who truly care about their clients. Throughout the case process, they showed over and over to me and my fellow linemen buddies how generous they are with their time and resources.
