I was referred to Paulette E. Chapman, an attorney in Koonz McKenney, Johnson, Depaolis and Lightfoot, by a well respected family attorney and friend. Paulette exceeded my expectation by her exceptionally thorough work on my potential case. I am grateful for her care and attention to all the details of my case. I strongly recommend her service.

Mr. DePaolis and his team were great to work with. They are detailed, personable, compassionate, as well as very professional. As I now know, injury cases present so many hurdles. However, Mr. DePaolis gave me the confidence to go through this tough process. He told me what to expect and he delivered on it. I would highly recommend, Mr. DePaolis to anyone who needs an injury lawyer. He is really as good as it gets.

I was referred to Peter DePaolis by a friend. Mr. DePaolis had done some work for both my friend and my friend's mother and came highly recommended. The process of dealing with insurance companies, hospitals, and attorneys is difficult but Mr. DePaolis and his staff made me as comfortable as possible. At every stage of things I was kept in the loop.
I was always given the full picture and provided with all possible options. I would recommend Mr. DePaolis to anyone who needed legal representation following an auto accident or other personal injury situation.

My elderly mother and I had never had any reason to consult a personal injury attorney until we were involved in an auto accident in 2012. We were stopped at a stoplight and another driver drove into us without stopping, pushing us into the car ahead of us. My mother was seriously injured and went to the emergency room immediately after the accident.
Over the next few months, while she continued to have pain due to contusions and broken bones, I continued to call my insurance company and the negligent driver's insurance company to ask for assistance in getting her the medical care and support she needed. I was unsuccessful in getting any clear answers of who would pay for what. After I contacted Peter DePaolis at Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis & Lightfoot LLP, I began to understand the complex process of personal injury law.
For the first time, someone explained our rights to us and followed through on getting my mother's medical bills paid. We had an excellent, professional, successful outcome to our situation. Mr. DePaolis and his staff were patient, kind and compassionate at all times. I strongly recommend Mr. DePaolis and his firm and would utilize them again in a heartbeat.
