Where do I start? Three years ago, I was involved with a life-changing experience. I was a victim of a property accident on the eve of New Year. As a result of my accident, I had multiple injuries. Some of the scars you were able to see and others were not so easy to see or explain. I was just a couple of months out of high school, with the world at my fingertips, but unfortunately due to the injuries of the accident life around me stopped. Things that were once easy for me began to become difficult. My mother, scared and worried for my health and wellbeing reached out to the Mandell brothers for help and advice. Days after I was released from the hospital, Larry Mandell drove more than two hours to our home to hear our story. Immediately after our visit, Larry got the ball rolling, seeking out those responsible for my injures. Along the way, I met Larry's brother Rob, and just like Larry, Rob was diligent and aggressive in the pursuit of justice. My case was a three-year battle through litigation, and at times the weight of my case became much for me to handle, at times I wanted to give up, but Larry and his brother Rob would not allow the negligence of those responsible to go unchecked. The legal system can be very intimidating through the process of any case. In my case, there were times that I would have to sit across the table with the other side's attorneys and insurance companies (super intimidating) while they questioned me and my family. While the other side used invasive tactics of intimidation to try to dismantle the integrity of our case. The Mandell brothers did not waiver, instead, they stood strong, and operated in truth while disputing the claims of the other side. They never backed down from my fight, and when it came time to safeguard the integrity of me and my family, the Mandell brothers were always ready for the battle. As a victim, it's important for your story to be told the way you want it. With the Mandell Brothers that was not a problem, they got it right. They took countless hours making sure they understood who I truly was, by contacting friends, family, and even past associates. Outside of the case, Larry became a real friend and a mentor to me. He would call randomly -on a week-to-week basis just to ask how I was doing, and also give me weekly updates on my case. Most importantly he would also ask for my input on certain decisions that would have to be made regarding the case. On my bad days, when I needed someone to vent to, Larry was my outlet, and he always knew the right words to say to cheer me up. Above just lawyers, these men are not like most. They operate in integrity, humility and are the true definition of what justice should look like. When my life took a turn for the worst, it is my belief that God sent his best to answer the call, and I could not be happier with the outcome of my case. Because of the Mandell brothers, my life has been forever changed, and because of their efforts, I will be taken care of medically and financially for the rest of my life!
