Ivelise A.

I’m beyond grateful for the amazing work attorney Plasencia did on my case. Not only did she fight and secure the full policy limits, but she also made sure I was getting the medical treatment I needed every step of the way. She personally communicated with my doctor to keep everything on track and helped me with the property damage side of the claim, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. Professional, compassionate, and always in touch. Thank you for going above and beyond!
