It has taken me awhile to write this review because I get emotional every time I do. My husband was in a TERRIBLE car accident about 5.5 years ago. He had a broken back and eventually had to have surgery. Upon recommendation of a family member, we immediately got in touch with the law firm BGB. Shortly there after Roman was assigned to our case. From the beginning to the end, Roman was straight up with us. He hung in there with us when we kept telling him we didn’t want to give up, that we were committed to taking this all the way He listened to me cry and get angry and kept his cool even when I broke down. He explained every step of the legal process and said he didn’t care how long it took, he was going all the way with us if that is what we wanted. We appreciated his honesty, concern for our well being and professionalism!! We were able to settle our case without going to court for close to what we were seeking in damages. My husband is permanently disabled and the last 5+ years were very difficult. He worked hard and is an AMAZING negotiator! He is professional and yet has a heart! AAAAAAA++++

I was in a car accident and made the mistake of retaining a law firm with a catchy jingle on TV. Months passed and I did not even know the name of the lawyer handling my case at the firm. When I finally got a call from a “paralegal” she had no clue if I was involved in a car accident or bitten by a dog. Despite this, and my expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of communication, no lawyer ever called me. I switched to Roman Shakh, who literally told me he will be handling the case and he will be the point of contact. He gave me his cell number. I got a call or a text response within moments of my calls. In the end, the case settled and I felt supported and aware of what was happening and what was to be expected. I am very very happy.

He handled my car accident case quickly and professionally. I depended on him to take care of everything and was not disappointed. He made the entire process very easy and answered all of my questions promptly. I knew exactly what was going on throughout the entire process. Would refer him to anyone in a similar situation.

Отличный адвокат. Очень профессиональный и добросовестный. Мой муж получил рекомендацию от нашего врача, и мы обратились к Роману за помощью. Так как у нас не было ни какого опыта с юридическими вопросами в Америке, нам очень повезло что с нами работал русскоязычный адвокат который в этом знает толк. В конечном итоге, мы выиграли дела. Все прошло очень удачно, и как Роман предсказал.

Mr Shakh, Roman is a very knowledgeable attorney, professional and respectful to his client/s. I’m very grateful for what he has done for me, going above and beyond to be able to get the compensation his client/s deserve. He most definitely knows what he is doing and without a doubt, I would strongly recommend him to others.

Roman helped me with a car injury litigation as a pedestrian, yielding the maximum possible reward. My first experience of this nature. He hand-hold me through the process, with a high level of professionalism, attention to details, while setting my expectations. This was a challenging case, due to amount of time have elapsed since incident, and challenges to demonstrate injury correlation. Despite these obstacles, Roman took the case with confidence, and successfully resolved it with the maximum possible outcome for the insurance policy. I hope to never require personal injury legal service again. But if any of my friends and family members requires it, I would not hesitate to refer them to Roman's capable hands. Thank you Roman.

I hired Mr. Shakh for a case where I was injured in a work-related accident at an active construction site. I was doing an inspection for my employer of a project being managed by a private contractor. Due to multiple OSHA violations I fell down and was injured. Many lawyers rejected my case. I was referred to Mr. Shakh. He took on my case. After approximately 2 years, during which the general contractor and the subcontractor denied the accident occurred, the insurance company made no offers to settle the case. This did not phase Mr. Shakh. From day one he told me that he is handling the case as if it will go to trial and we have to be ready to allow the jury make the decision. I knew that with Mr. Shakh I will not be victimized all over again by the insurance lawyers. He kept me apprised of all developments and helped me to make some of the very difficult decisions. Until the time of trial the insurance company did not offer any settlement. However, after the second day of trial the settlement offers poured in. Ultimately, the insurance companies for both contractors offer six times what the initial offer was immediately prior to beginning of trial. I was very satisfied. Litigation is a grueling process. You should have someone by your side whom you trust and who will thrust forward on your behalf, when you no want and can. I was very happy with the outcome of this case. It would not have been the same if I did not have Mr. Shakh in my corner. Thank you, Roman.
