Elaine Hart was fantastic. My case was not an easy one, but Elaine never gave up, even when she asked me for information and due to pain of my injury, I was not able to complete it for her. Her assistant, Erica, is also top notch. They are so kind and understanding. Always making sure you are informed as to what’s going on with your case and also making sure to explain everything so you can understand. I would and I have highly recommended Elaine Hart if you need a great attorney.

I will never be able to thank you enough for all the extra hard effort you have put forth on my behalf. You were a HUGE part of resolving this matter, to the best it could be. I am forever grateful to you and I will always feel lucky to have you as part of the team, a listener and a friend. You are a wonderful human being and Gary is lucky to have you on his team. I thank you again for being you and all the help you’ve been in beginning the process for us to heal from this horrid situation.

I cannot put into words the amount of thanks that I owe to this law firm. I was treated like a human being, something my insurance company never did. I was treated with courtesy and kindness throughout this drawn out case. I consider myself fortunate to have individuals like APKH&C fighting for my rights. I have had to change nearly everything in my life due to this accident. However, the one thing I would never change is the legal team that represented me in my claim.
