See What Albert's Clients Are Saying

After Albert listened to a few details about my case, he said he would represent me and told me not to worry. I was kept up to date with calls and emails by Albert and his assistants on a regular basis. When all said and done, he successfully won my case (denied LTD benefits). I was treated with great respect. I highly recommend Samfiru Tumarkin LLP!

My case was complex and Albert Klein did everything to help me get through a disability claim. I was not in a position to pay an LTD lawyer and a contingency agreement was arranged. Albert listened to all my woes, and I cannot say enough of the professionalism.

I had a very difficult time with my long-term disability insurance company. After speaking with Albert Klein he immediately believed in me and my case, and he achieved what was rightfully mine. Every time I emailed or called they always got back to me ensuring I was important enough to get back to. I highly recommend Samfiru Tumarkin LLP

Albert provided yeoman service to me with my personal injury case. He treated me with respect and kindness, and I always felt that he cared about me as a person as well as a client. Albert is a strategist, analytical, sagacious, and his folksy, genuine, caring personality was very helpful and successful in negotiating. Thank you, Albert, for giving me 10+ service.
