After a serious tucking accident last year, it became evident early on, that I was in need of an experienced attorney who would help me negotiate through this  Workmans Compensation process- nightmare-  and upon an excellent recommendation from a colleague, promptly hired Gabriella. At my initial appointment with her, it became very obvious that not only did she know the workman compensation laws, but knew, in depth, the intricacies that governed each part of those same laws. In layman's terms, she knew what she was doing, knew how to do it, and how the implications of each would effect the outcome. My meetings with her, whether  in person, via phone, or email, were always productive and I was kept well informed at every step of the way. No stone was left unturned and nothing escaped her notice...I explain it as her being "as sharp as a tack". Her incredible hard work, determination, effective counsel, proved to be the power that ultimately shaped the outcome of case. Gabriella aggressively secured a settlement for me that was far greater than my expectations. In closing, I would like the reader to understand how she, Gabriella, used her knowledge and expertise to work for me, and with me, ultimately securing an unbelievable positive outcome. Her "rapid fire" responses and demands presented to the opposing attorney, left them very few options or "wiggle room" in defending their client. In all, I highly recommend this fine attorney for your workmans compensation case. Gabriella will work hard for you, as she did me. To her I say " many, many thanks. To you, the reader, choosing her to represent you, will ultimately result in positive outcomes.

Many thanks to Miss Gabriella and staff for all they have done for me in the past. I, unfortunately, was in need of their services on more than one occasion and could not have been more pleased. Miss Gabriella and Miss Deb made me feel as though I were their most important and only client. Their dedication to me was much appreciated and will never be forgotten. Incredibly kind and honest.

I contacted your Firm regarding an incident that I had and I talked to Attorney Gabriella H. Farhat and Paralegel Debra Brubaker and had meetings with both. They listened to what I had to say. I was confident they could handle the case and they contacted me throughout the case and kept me informed of its process and went out of their way to best help me. I felt very confident in them and was very satisfied with the outcome. I would highly recommend your Firm for any kind of legal matter.

Attorney Farhat handled my SSD case. Navigating through the Social Security process was stressful for me. After searching for a law firm to handle my case I met with Attorney Farhat , I knew right away she and her team were the right law firm to represent my case. She exuded integrity, knowledge and competency. She and her team were always approachable and kind. They made me feel extremely comfortable with the process and I trusted them completely. I would hire her again and anyone else in the Law firm without question.

I would highly recommend Gabriella Hashem Farhat as an attorney. I was in a car accident where I received a brain injury. She took care of all of my paperwork for me and allowed me to focus on healing. I was exceptionally pleased with the outcome and the peace of mind she provided me.

Trying to stay afloat, in a sea of questions and uncertainty, is exactly how I felt when I was injured and lost my job. Gabriella, and her team of professionals, pulled me out of a miserable situation and placed me back on solid ground. Gabriella took the time, whether it was by phone, in person, or via email, to answer any and all my questions I had. She also acted on my behalf, working with my former employer, the insurance company, and my physicians, to get me the best representation, financial security, and physical care anyone could ask for. I would recommend, without any reservations, Gabriella and her team. Because truth is, when your world dissolves around you, you need the best and that's what you get with Gabriella Farhat.

When the world had fallen out from under me and nothing would go back the way it was Gabriella was there to help build a new world.She helped me stand on solid ground. She was there walking beside me for every step keeping me informed throughout the five years it took the case to settle. And when I needed a shoulder I could cry on someone to listen to me, to help put the pieces of me back together Gabriella was there to help. I have the utmost respect for Gabriella she was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. I have recommend her others. Anyone lucky enough to have her as their attorney will not only get a great attorney but a wonderful person.
