We highly recommend Jeffrey Putnam to anyone who needs an attorney. He went above and beyond for our case, he was always available if we had questions, we were kept informed as to the status on everything, and he worked his tail off for us. We are very lucky to have found him and we will be referring our friends and family to him should they need a lawyer.
Upon receiving an offer from an insurance adjuster, I decided it may be in my best interest to consult an attorney for advice. Jeff came with high recommendations, so I made contact. BEST decision I have made in quite some time! Jeff quickly realized that the adjuster's figures were way off, and in fact, did not meet statute requirements. I replied to the adjuster's letter, following Jeff's instruction and advice, and my second offer from the adjuster was immediately DOUBLED to a fair resolution.Jeff was attentive, prompt, professional, compassionate, and understanding. He made me feel like we have been good friends for years.Words can not express my gratitude towards Jeff for all his help. I would highly recommend him to anybody in need of his services....5 stars++.
