Amazing results! It was so convenient for me. Being able to do most paperwork via email or fax. That was a huge plus for me, since I am a single parent and couldn't take off work. Maria was amazing at keeping me updated. I highly recommend this attorney. And their location is not downtown, huge plus for me since I dislike downtown parking fees!! Over all I had a great experience from start to finish (5 months)

I called Argento & Associates after getting into a high impact collision. I had never been in a car accident that caused injury before and wasn't sure what to do. I had a headache for 2 consecutive days and my back seemed to be shocked by the impact. I had pain and extreme tension. I have insurance and a job, but still needed help understanding the right steps to take to get the care that I needed. Argento was able to immediately get me started on treatment with professionals in their network which allowed for a quick recovery of the immediate symptoms.
I found myself experiencing nagging lower back pain. They were able to direct me to a specialist who helped me determine that I had a herniated disc. I was then able to get additional therapy to improve my back without having surgery. Argento handled ALL of the paperwork and dealings with the insurance company that ultimately resulted in a healed body and a settlement that made up for the pain, inconvenience and depreciation in my vehicle. I appreciate the ease of dealing with Argento and the settlement outcome. I would highly recommend them to anyone who experiences a car accident that leave you injured and in a tough position!

I found lawyer online and used him. Didn't like him at first, he seemed way to confident, but he was very nice. He was exactly what I needed to go after this horrible trucking company, that didn't care about me. He went after them, and I received a lot of money. Use him, he is real tough on the other side!
