AJ helped me get through a painful process with ease. He advocated for me when I did not know how to do so myself. His knowledge was a great comfort to me and helped me to put all my trust in him throughout the process. Although I hope I don’t need his services again soon, I will be a return customer if needed. Thanks AJ!
Josh S.
AJ Kotanjian did an incredible job handling my case. At the beginning of the process AJ clearly articulated how we would approach the case, what information he needed from me, timelines, and everything relevant to pushing for a successful outcome. He was an absolute professional and we were able to win the insurance claim from my cycling/car accident in less than 3 months which I was very surprised at given how long some of these trials/cases can go. I feel extremely fortunate to have hired him soon after I was injured, and was able to focus on healing and getting back to my life while he took care of everything else. Thank you AJ for your hard work and helping me get back on my feet!
