Eric and his Legal Assistant Corina were FABULOUS! My case was not simple by any means and they worked tirelessly for me and my husband to be able to receive an excellent resolution to a case that I had no intention of filing. They were ALWAYS friendly, efficient, attentive and God willing I never have to see again in that setting! They always made sure to communicate with my doctors, therapist's, and with me! DEMAS LAW FIRM IS THE ONLY LAW FIRM IN MY PERSONAL OPINION. And it is always important to emphasize the hard work legal assistants do with and for attorney's. Corina was so well versed on the law but she also knew my case inside and out. You would never go wrong working with Erik Gutierrez and Corina!

My older brother always told me to hire professionals when needed and let them do what they do. My case was appraised honestly. The difficulties and time frame were accurately explained. I let Erik manage the case as he suggested and let him do what was needed. I knew what I hoped the settlement would be. I would have made peace with half that amount. I received twice what I hoped for. The staff at Demas Law Group was always professional, responsive, courteous and friendly. I remembered reading a story many years ago in The Bee. Their reputation impressed me. When I needed an attorney an saw their name, it was an easy decision and a wise choice.

I was in a car accident that wasn’t my fault, and the other driver only carried minimum insurance. Katie and Veronica at Demas Law were absolutely AWESOME. They walked me through every step, including how to get my own insurance involved so I could actually be protected. They also negotiated directly with my health insurance to make sure all my medical bills were covered while I focused on getting back to good health. Their communication, guidance, and support made a stressful situation so much easier. I’m truly grateful for everything they did.

My husband and I got into a car crash in 2019, and the crash left him with permanent physical injuries and a neurological pain disorder. Attorney Kate and the Demas Law Group took amazing care of us. They fought for us and supported us for almost 7 years while the insurance company dragged things on. When the case finally closed, Kate continued to fight for us and reduced the medical expenses by around $65,000! We ended up taking home more than we expected and it’s all due to the hard work of Kate and the Demas Law group. Even beyond the money aspect, we felt supported and like Kate truly cared about us. She understood how stressful the whole situation was and supported us throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend this team highly enough!!

I cannot say enough positive things about this law group and especially my attorney, Kate. She was inviting, knowledgeable, and caring throughout my entire journey with her after a bad car accident in 2022 and ongoing injury. Kate and her team were always there, no hesitation, to listen and help find solutions in my case. I would hands down recommend Kate and her team to anyone needing legal support for a personal injury. Although I’m glad my case is resolved, I am going to miss the check ins and time with Kate. Thank you so much Kate!

My experience with Demas Law Group was professional, compassionate, and focused on always doing their very best for me. From the beginning, I was made to feel like a person first and foremost, not just a client. My car accident occurred in California while I was on vacation from New York. We decided to choose this firm after our initial phone conversation with John Demas. Being from out of state, we wanted to feel confident that we had the right representation, and John immediately gave us that confidence. From our very first conversation, he was compassionate, caring, and professional in explaining how the case would proceed. It was an incredibly stressful time for me, and I always felt supported. Over the course of two years, John Demas and his entire team were amazing. They were always responsive to our calls, patient with our questions, and worked incredibly hard to reach a settlement that I am very pleased with and truly grateful for. I would highly recommend Demas Law Group to anyone who needs an attorney. I am so happy that we chose them to represent us, and I will always be grateful for everything they did for me.
