I had an excellent experience with Scura, Wigfield, Heyer, Cammarota & Gonzalez, LLP. I would especially like to thank attorney Guillermo González and his representatives Jasmine Muñiz and Karen Gutiérrez for their professionalism, support, and dedication throughout my case.

From the beginning, they made me feel supported and comfortable. They were always willing to answer my questions, explain the process, and keep me informed. Jasmine and Karen were incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, and they always treated me with respect and compassion.

I truly appreciate all the hard work they put into my case and the way they handled everything with professionalism and care. I highly recommend Guillermo González and his entire team to anyone looking for an attorney who genuinely cares about their clients.

I was recommended to this law firm by my husband. Since my first consultation, Mr Tim Bartzos has been knowledgeable, professional, and sympathetic to my case. He discussed in detail if I had a case and the entirety of the process even before any paperwork was signed to retain him. I was also introduced to Mr. Chris Heyer who was also very excellent and went above and beyond for my case.

Both gentlemen kept me informed on every step of the processes. Quick to answer calls and emails to take care of any doubts or questions and were there to guide me until the day I signed my settlements. Let me tell you, they sure did fight for my cases to ensure that I received the best outcome.
The front desk and paralegals were also courteous , polite and prompt.

I ???? recommend this law firm.
Thank you again Mr. Bartzos and Heyer.

Hiring Scura, Wigfield, Heyer, Stevens and Cammarota was one of my better decisions. Working with Tim Bartzos, John Scura, Alexsa Gonzales and the rest of their team was a great experience. Tim was on top of things from day one and until the end. He never left a question unanswered, always made time, and ensured that I was kept abreast of all activity and progress. His explanations were always accurate, detailed, and to the point. Staff is knowledgeable, courteous, and delivered top results in a significantly shorter length of time than I had envisioned. To say that I recommend this firm is an understatement.

Guillermo was absolutely amazing and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who will stand up and fight for them. He took on my slip and fall case despite my strong doubts about the possibility of receiving any compensation, given the numerous missing components I believed were necessary to validate and verify the incident. I was overwhelmed with medical bills and lost wages from the accident, unable to work at my previous pace, putting me in significant debt. Throughout the entire process he helped keep my mind at ease with his confidence, honesty, and transparency. I was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy when I first came to Scura, but thanks to Guillermo's diligence and expertise I can now pay off all of my medical bills AND student loans. He also made very insightful suggestions on how to handle the remainder of the compensation I received (that I watched him stand up and fight for) and I could not be more thankful for all he did. Guillermo helped make a really scary time of my life a lot easier and I will forever be grateful.

I had the pleasure of working with this law firm for my bankruptcy. Carlos Martinez was one of my lawyers and was he superb for the entire 5 years of my case. He was with me every step of the way. When I came into his office, I had tears in my eyes because I thought I was going to lose my house, and instead I got into a plan that I was able to pay. My tears turned into smiles and my heartache went away. Carlos is very knowledge of the entire process, and he gave me correct information. I have successfully made all my payments and my case was dishoard. I am beyond pleased with this law firm and I would recommend them without hesitation.
