"The SSKB law firm made the right decision in adding you to their expert team of lawyers. In the future, there isn't any other firm that I would consider to represent me."

Six years ago, my son and I were assaulted in our front yard by a gang of thugs. Unfortunately, my son was seriously injured. At the time, a friend suggested that I hire a lawyer he knew, Edward J. Nitkewicz. This was one of the best decisions that I ever made. I knew that Ed was the right guy from the beginning. Ed crushed it. This case was purposely drawn out in order to discourage us, but through Ed's compassion and guidance he helped us to stay focused and not be discouraged. At the end of the day, it was Ed's technical expertise that boxed the defendants into a corner and left them with nothing but stall tactics. Big shout out to paralegal Melissa for your persistence and professionalism during this trying time. Thank you both for driving this to a successful outcome. The SSKB law firm made the right decision in adding you to their expert team of lawyers. In the future, there isn't any other firm that I would consider to represent me.

"The team at Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, from the first consultation, knew exactly what to say and do to put me at ease. Solid advice, a strong "game plan", and an approach that comes from experience."

As a pedestrian, I was struck by a car while crossing the street, corner to corner. A friend recommended speaking to Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, LLP. Angry about the incident and hurting tremendously physically, the team at Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, from the first consultation, knew exactly what to say and do to put me at ease. Solid advice, a strong "game plan", and an approach that comes from experience... all part of what they brought to the table. The firm's preparedness -- and especially that of Attorney Jared -- put me in the right position and proper frame of mind for the best outcome possible. I am thankful to Jared and the team at Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro for their help in getting through a terrible incident.

"I highly recommend them to attorneys seeking high-quality attorneys to handle malpractice cases, and as trial counsel on other types of personal injury cases. You will not be disappointed."

I am a personal injury attorney in Plainview, New York. I referred medical malpractice, wrongful death case to Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, LLP, which after review, they agreed to handle. They fought from beginning to end, successfully defeating a motion for summary judgment and an appeal, and ultimately began the trial. The case was settled just prior to the trial coming to an end. They settled this case for a very significant sum of money. Their professionalism, skills, responsiveness, and aggressiveness on behalf of their client, were truly something to behold. I highly recommend them to attorneys seeking high-quality attorneys to handle malpractice cases, and as trial counsel on other types of personal injury cases. You will not be disappointed.

"I couldn't have been more pleased with the attention, promptness, and courtesy that Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro provided me."

I couldn't have been more pleased with the attention, promptness, and courtesy that Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro provided me. The attorney appointed to my case was John Zervopoulos and the paralegal was Valerie Chung. They were both amazing to interact with! I NEVER once had to chase anyone down because they wouldn't return my calls. On the contrary, if they reached out to me and I wasn't available, they would certainly follow-up with me again. They followed up on everything - nothing ever fell through the cracks. First-class representation all the way - you will not be disappointed!!

"I have recommended Edward to a number of friends and colleagues in need of legal advice or representation, and they've all been very pleased."

Edward Nitkewicz represented a friend and me after a truck collision, that left both of us with neck and back injuries. From the very first phone call, Ed was courteous, knowledgeable, professional, and offered realistic expectations about our type of case. He gave us clear instructions, timelines, and did not make any false promises about the outcome of our case or our settlement. He was consistently available over the year plus he represented us, and successfully won a generous compensation for our injuries. I have recommended Edward to a number of friends and colleagues in need of legal advice or representation, and they've all been very pleased.

My father got into a serious car accident couple years back and was referred to this law firm. I cannot thank John Zervopoulos enough for helping my father during this difficult time. John worked diligently on my father's case so he could focus on his health and recovery. He did a wonderful job representing my father and successfully closed the case. Valerie was amazing as well. She explained everything in detail and helped make the process a smooth one. She promptly answered all of my parents questions and concerns and always kept them updated on the case. We truly appreciate their high level of professionalism and reliability. They do everything they can to help their clients. I highly recommend them!

Let me start off by saying I couldn’t have chosen a better firm to help me with my personal injury case. These guys went to hell and back for me.

We were so fortunate to find this firm through a recommendation and now we have used them twice for unrelated matters. They have become our "lawyers for life"! I would highly recommend engaging Gerilynn Falasco and her staff for Wills & Trusts. They were professional, kind, and always willing to answer questions after the fact. Highly recommend!

SSKB Law is the BEST law firm and I would never use anyone else! I was in a horrible accident that left my car totaled. Jeffrey Kimmel handled my case. He is caring, considerate and professional.

"This being a FELA case it was a very difficult case to handle. This firm came highly recommended to me and I now I know why."

I had a very serious injury while working on the railroad. This being a FELA case it was a very difficult case to handle. This firm came highly recommended to me and I now I know why. The railroad refused to settle because they thought there was no way they can lose forcing this case to trial. After a three day trail in court the railroad was seriously wrong. My FELA case was won with 100 percent fault on the railroads part. Joseph Bavaro was our trial attorney and he was the most amazing attorney and person I have ever met. Joe Bavaro's knowledge was so amazing and how he was able to fight a organization like the railroad was simply a amazing. Watching and listening to Mr. Bavaro trial this case against the railroad made me feel comfortable and confidant on the outcome of this trial. Joe's great knowledge was the winning factor in this case. I truly feel that if anyone else was my attorney the outcome would have been different. Mr. Bavaro pulled off the impossible and I cannot thank him enough. The whole staff at this firm has been like family to us. Everyone there is always eager to help in anyway they can. I not only have a law firm I can trust but now I can say I have a new family. Thank you to Joseph Bavaro, John Zervopoulos, Justin Curtis, Vincenza, Deidre, and Valerie and the rest of my new family at Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro.

"I would highly recommend them due to the fact that during a difficult time, they made the process very straightforward with excellent results."

This review is for a case that the firm handled for my father who was injured in an accident and had to undergo surgery. John Zervopoulos and all the attorneys that he interacted with were professional and attentive to the unique needs of his case. The staff is excellent and always tries to answer your question immediately and if they can’t, they do get right back to you. I would highly recommend them due to the fact that during a difficult time, they made the process very straightforward with excellent results.
