I retained Cecil & Geiser after a personal injury in 2009 (I was a pedestrian struck by an elderly driver).\r
\r
Sydney McLafferty worked with me on this case.\r
\r
Since I had moved out of state it was a difficult position for my attorney to have to handle a long-distance case, which Ms. McLafferty did an excellent job. As this was my first injury and lawsuit Sydney was very understanding, she explained the entire legal and court process and each step we had to go through. This was a great relief and eased my mind\r
\r
I had obtained a previous lawyer who dropped me (after 6 months wasting my time) stating that ""I had no case"". I was devastated as I had over a year of medical expenses, pain from lacerations, a torn rotator cuff, detached bicep muscle. I had two highly respected Orthopedic Surgeons attributing my injuries to my being struck by the defendant. The surgeons, both in written statements, reported that I would require physical therapy and restorative surgery.\r
\r
The case went into mediation and was settled before we had to go to court. The outcome was very satisfactory to me. Sydney represented me well and fought for my best interest.\r
\r
Her assistant, Angela, was amazing! She was constantly in contact with me about updates to the case. I can't say well enough about her.\r
\r
I would highly recommend the offices of Cecil and Geiser, especially Ms. Sydney McLafferty.
