After a bad fall in a store, I was overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. This law firm listened to my story, guided me every step of the way, and handled all the details so I could focus on healing. They kept me informed, treated me with real empathy, and fought hard for a settlement that covered my lost income and more. I truly recommend them if you’re dealing with an accident—they made a tough time so much easier. Appreciate all your efforts!

Lorne was my lawyer after getting hit by a truck while walking my dog , I was so lost on what my first step was. I have never gone thru something like this before and I had no idea what to do. I felt completely discouraged.After my mother helped me contact a few lawyers, we talked to Lorne. He explained everything throughouly to me and I was ready to start the process.Lorne is very intelligent and did a great job with my case. He guided me through my recovery process and explained step by step how things were going.Even though this was a terrible thing to happen, I was lucky to have Lorne as my lawyer. He fought for what was right and what I deserved. And I'm very grateful i had him as my lawyer through this difficult time.

There are no words that will ever convey my pain. I still find myself morning who I was before the car accident. I miss my capabilities and the ease in my body... and can feel claustrophobic in my skin.At the end of my 24th year my then partner crashed us into a tractor on the highway resulting in my sever brain issues and shattered knee. My entire family had a hard time coping with my disabilities, and no one could really grasp what Hell I was going through. Frankly a lot of people didn't have the patience.I want to thank Michael and Irena. Michael drove out to see me after the accident and after that was someone I could count on. When my world fell apart, Michael, you showed me compassion and patience in a very frightening time and fought very hard for my compensation. God bless you, your family and your law team. You are good people and that's very rare in this world.If anyone is fortunate to have you defend them, they are very blessed!Thank you thank you thank you!

I used Brapp Lawyer for my personal injury case, specifically Loren Weinstock. I had the smoothest experience and appreciated how dedicated Lorne and his clerks were to my case and file. In future if myself or my family, heaven forbid, were injured and required legal representation I will definitely be seeking our Lorne again for all my legal needs. I was anticipating a much longer time period for my case to be finalized, however it was a lot quicker than initially thought. 5 star service and would highly recommend anyone to him. Thanks Lorne

Michael and team- Understanding. Compassionate. Caring. Determined. When I look back at my experience throughout the years, those are the adjectives that stand out the most. I was 19 years of age when I experienced my accident that left me off of work. Every time I had any questions or concerns, Irina always responded in a timely manner. Michael Brill is one of the best men in the industry. His professionalism, honesty and dedication, to make sure I was treated fairly is remarkable. He will go to war for you without a doubt. While healing you shouldn’t have to worry about the insurance company politics, they took that weight off my shoulders and represented my case fairly. I would highly recommend Michael Brill to anyone seeking a personal injury lawyer. I interviewed a few other lawyers prior to meeting with Michael and I knew from the second we made contact he’d be the perfect guy for my case. Thank you to Michael and Irina for everything you guys have done for me.

I recommend asking for Lorne weinstock if you are in need to speak to a lawyer. A little back story to my experience with working with him; I was the passenger in a car accident that was caused by the driver of the car I was in and I was completely lost after the car accident and had absolutely no idea what my next steps were. I called barrap law firm to speak to a lawyer and I got the pleasure of speaking to Lorne Weinstock. He was the kindest lawyer I could’ve gotten the pleasure of working with. He reassured me that he would do everything in his power to help me with my injuries and holding the driver at fault for the accident he caused. Lorne went above and beyond with helping me. I couldn’t have ask for a better lawyer. I recommend going to barrap law firm and asking for Lorne Weinstock if you are in a situation where you got hurt due to someone else’s negligence.

So after my car accident, my parents got a recommendation from their friends for a lawyer at Barapp Law Firm. The team there was really nice to me and my folks, keeping us updated all the time. They handled everything smoothly, worked super hard, and ended up getting me a great settlement. I mostly focused on going to therapy and getting better. Big thanks to them for all the help!

Tommy Fields

He was the best lawyer I could have contacted. He was sympatric to my claim and went out of his way to check my claim by going to the casino to view the video of my accident and do all the necessary follow ups to secure my case. I could not not have asked for more from him. He was great. I neglected to mention my lawyer's name. His name is Nabeel Sera. Both my wife Mary and I are most grateful that we contacted him.

I could not be happier with the support I received from Eti Taylor. From day one of working with her to resolve a personal injury claim, she was highly knowledgeable. Eti was always available and eager to support and represent my claim with the best possible intentions outcome.Eti has a 'human' element about her. This made, what could have been a 'highly' stressful situation much more manageable.She has a 'winning' approach yet she is also realistic and factual - the perfect balance for solid results.I would HIGHLY recommend Eti to represent you, should you be in a similar unfortunate situation. You will not be disappointed.I say this with honesty, integrity and direct personal experience.

I contacted Barapp Law after I was bit by a dog while working outside. I ended up needing surgery. Eti Taylor and her assistant Victoria were prompt to respond and were understanding and helpful throughout the process. Eti is passionate about her work and was receptive to all questions. She responds to all correspondences within a day, often only a few hours. The process was smooth and there weren't many inconveniences that were unavoidable. I got a bit more than I reasonably expected in the end, and am happy with the result! All the best to Eti Taylor, Victoria, and Barapp Law

My hat goes off to Lorne and his team here at Barapp Law. Lorne is a personable, intelligent, and very professional lawyer who did a remarkable job of representing me, and was extremely successful in getting me the compensation and closure I deserved and needed after my accident.I was struck by a car at a very young age (18) and had no guidance, no idea about what kind of treatment I could receive, no idea how to deal with insurance companies, until I found Lorne. I had consultations with lawyers in my city but none seemed to think I had a case, Lorne however, was the complete opposite.Lorne is a very punctual, friendly, passionate, comforting person, and I'm forever grateful to him. He will fight until his last breath to get you what you deserve and will believe in you when no one else does, even yourself. He was extremely helpful along the way; he arranged/helped me gain access to physical and psychological treatment and he was always there for me when I had a question or just needed a friendly ear to listen (or shoulder to cry on). He gets things done in a timely manner and his response time is incredibly fast. He explains law realted and insurance related things in a way that's easier for the average person to understand and will go over it with you how ever many times you need to understand and feel comfortable.You can feel very alone and lost when going through something like this, so I was VERY fortunate to have found Lorne, and I will forever highly recommend him!

My lawyer Nabeel Sera at Barapp Law did a fantastic job representing me. A car hit me while I was riding my bicycle. I was very impressed the way Nabeel logically refuted every point the other lawyer tried at the mediation. The hard work of Nabeel and his assistant Diana Nakangu was the reason I got the proper settlement and not further abused by the system that lets insurance companies ruin peoples lives unfortunate enough to be in a car accident. THANKS FOR HELPING.N.C.
