I came to Fellows Hymowitz Rice with already high expectations from a friend who had been a client and raved about her experience. They immediately began working diligently on my behalf as soon as I hired them and they made sure to communicate clearly with me at all times. I knew from the day I hired them that I had not only excellent law skills on my side but also caring human beings who adhered to high standards of practice. The settlement I received was more than we initially expected the first time I used them so when I had another situation I hired them again and I received the same care and professionalism with better than expected results again. I strongly recommend them!
Rob and his assistant Yaniris were so great throughout this whole process. They kept us informed and answered all our questions. It was a hard time and they truly made me feel comfortable the entire time. 5 STARS IS NOT ENOUGH!!
