Amazing Team

I was rear ended at a high speed last year. I suffered many injuries. Jim Lefante and his amazing team helped me throughout the entire process of recovering physically, emotionally, and financially. They went above and beyond to fight for me and exceeded my expectations in every way. I am so thankful for everything Jim did. He is so easy to talk to and has such a caring heart. I recommend anyone needing legal help to contact Jim. Jim and his wonderful team will provide you with a level of kindness and professionalism that cannot be surpassed!

Best Lawyers Around

The best lawyers around I highly recommend them and if I need a lawyer again they will be the first law firm that I call I give them 10 stars thanks for all your help.

Exceptional Attorney

Wow I don’t know where to start about LeFante Law. Jim LeFante is a exceptional attorney as is Tom Norman they both are willing to go that extra 10 % and give your case a 110%. Likewise the office staff have the same commitment to your problems at hand. The office staff is always very polite and courteous when you call them and are very timely with getting back to you on your questions or concerns. Needless to say I would recommend LeFante Law hands down for any legal situation you’re in!!!!

Highly Recommend

They were great! Very thorough and kept me up to date throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend them!

Provide Options and Recommendations

I cannot imagine letting anyone else handle my legal affairs. They talk to you like you are a human being and they talk on your level. They do not act like they are better than you. They explain your options and allow you to make the decisions on how you want to pursue the case. They recommend options to you but the decision is yours. They genuinely care about you and your case. I was so glad that I chose them for my legal need. I can’t imagine using anyone else.
