Working with Coburn was a great experience. I felt that I was working with someone honest and trustworthy. I was hesitant to consult a lawyer after my accident, but I am so glad I did. Coburn was quick to answer questions and was incredibly helpful in navigating my way back to normalcy after my accident.

Hannah P. / Gordon are my forever personal injury attorneys. I went to Gordon after releasing a previous attorney. My car accident was very painful and intense. I required serious treatment so I knew I needed an attorney with experience, but who also wasn’t afraid to fight for me. I landed at Gordon. I was assigned to Hannah. Hannah relieved me of so much stress. I was finally able to rest when Hannah became my attorney. I was in physical therapy within a day after speaking to her. I did not have a vehicle, Hannah made sure to find treatment that was near my place of residence. Hannah was always available when I reached out. Hannah took her time to explain every single detail to me. She even gave her respect when my dad passed. I always received honest communication with Hannah. If you follow her instructions, she will not only get you results, but also proper medical treatment. I highly recommend Hannah P.
Working with Gordon and his team was absolutely amazing !!! I want to thank Erik miller and Mike Montalbano i had a VERY pleasant experience with them .My lawyers handled my case with so much compassion and professionalism, always available to answer any questions and break them down if needed to help me understand more. They were so empathetic , reliable , trustworthy, and most of all determined. I’d highly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of a great law firm. I could not have hoped for a better result and it wouldn’t have been possible with out these guys !!! THANKS AGAIN ❤️❤️
Great experience!!! The staff was friendly m, knowledgeable, and kept me updated with my case!!! I never had to worry or wonder what was going on with my case!!! My lawyers did everything to ensure I was compensated and taking care of!!!

Mr. Erick Miller was great . He ensured that my well being was great & was very informative. I would most definitely recommend him to another client. He stayed on the case from start to finish and even called someone on the behalf of me because of how I felt and how things were going.

Reviews
These client and peer reviews are from the Martindale-Avvo Legal Network.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
