They settled my case in far less time than I expected for far more than I thought I would get. I spent a lot of time researching the different lawyers out there and read the reviews. Peter Thompson's reviews were on the mark and they did pretty much exactly what their website says they would do. I would recommend highly. My case manager Candace was fantastic. Whenever I had a question or problem, she got back to me the same day. Attorneys Thompson and Mann kept me informed throughout. From the start to the finish I felt confident I was in good hands.

I had another lawyer before I called Peter Thompson and Assocaites and nothing was happening on my case for over a year. I called and left messages and never got a call back. One day my other lawyer called and said that the insurance company would only give me a little more than my medical bills. I had no idea he was even talking to the insurance company about settling my case and he didnt even know that I was going back in for surgery! My husband told me that enough is enough and we asked around for names of other attorneys. A friend told me she had been represented by Peter many years ago and that I should give him a call. We are very glad we did! It was a night and day difference. Everyone in his office was wonderful to work with and helpful. We had a number of issues with our health insurance not paying bills that Peter's staff took care of. We had so many questions that I thought at some point they would get sick of me calling, but they were ALWAYS helpful, even if I just wanted someone - other than my husband - to complain to. I could go on and on. Very nice people to deal with. And after being told by my other lawyer that we would "never" get more out of the insurance company, Peter was able to settle my case for FOUR TIMES what my other lawyer said was the "top dollar" I would get. This wasn't about money for me...I wanted to be treated fairly and with respect and Peter's team made that happen.

I echo what the others have said, except that I didnt see anyone mention how much work Peter Thompson Associate staff did to reduce the medical bills that would have eaten up my settlement. Their work to reduce the hospital bill alone made a huge difference in what I received out of my settlement. I received an excellent settlement that was made even better because my money didn't all go to the hospital.

Everyone was very nice to deal with, from Peter to the receptionist. I've already recommended PT to a coworker. Great settlement...10X what I was originaly offered by the insurance company.

I highly recommend this firm. I initially contacted a friend who is a retired judge and he told me to call Peter Thompson. I tried to work with the insurance company for a while and they kept making it seem like they were going to "help me." After a while it became pretty clear that they weren't going to help me at all, so I gave up and gave Peter a call. I'm very glad I did. When I met with Peter and a couple of his attorneys, they explained what they would do and how they would do it. There was so much more to my case that I hadn't even thought about, such as negotiating with my health insurance company to reduce what they would be paid from my settlement. Just that alone resulted in me receiving much more money than I would have received without their help. They also found additional insurance coverage that I would never have even known about. It was a great relief to me to just turn the case over to Peter and his very able (and pleasant!) staff. My recovery put a lot of stress on me and I can't begin to say how wonderful it was not to have to worry about anything other than just getting better. Peter took care of everything. I have already told a co-worker who was in an accident to call him.
