While you cannot control the actions of the driver of a motor vehicle, you can take precautions to make sure you and your family are as safe as possible when traveling as a pedestrian. Reduce your risk of injury by following these safe pedestrian tips:

  • Walk and/or jog only on designated sidewalks and paths

I’m very grateful to Kogan & DiSalvo Personal Injury Lawyers for the work they put into my case especially Samantha, the paralegal. She was a key part of the process from start to finish. Samantha made everything clear and straightforward, always taking the time to explain things and keeping everything on track. Her experience and efficiency really stood out. I’m thankful she was part of the team and truly appreciate everything she did.

Three years ago I had an injury while away on vacation and contacted Kogan and DiSalvo the next day. Their entire team were absolutely great from my initial call and intake, to trial date and settlement.
My attorney, George, helped me through every step of the process. He always kept me informed on the progress of the case and always responded to any questions I had.
I highly recommend Kogan & DiSalvo, a law firm that truly cares about their clients.

The firm was great with my case.

I had the pleasure of working with Todd Baker and, more closely, Paul Sylvestri on my case. From the very beginning, Paul was not only thorough and knowledgeable, but also made me feel truly supported. He handled every step with urgency and care, ensuring that the process moved forward efficiently, far faster than I expected, given how long cases like mine can often drag on.

What stood out most was how genuinely I felt treated as a person, not just another case file. I quickly learned that most personal injury law firms make clients feel like they’re just part of a revolving door. That was never the case here. Paul and his team prioritized my well-being and worked hard to ensure I was fairly and fully compensated for my suffering.

Their professionalism, compassion, and commitment made an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I’m incredibly grateful for the outcome and the way I was treated throughout the process. I couldn’t have asked for a better team.

I was fortunate to be represented by this amazing law firm after a car accident, and I have nothing but gratitude for their work. From the very first contact, they demonstrated professionalism, empathy, and a genuine commitment to resolving my case in the best possible way.

I want to especially highlight Stephany Herrera, who was my first point of contact. From the beginning, she was open, attentive, and truly listened to me. Thanks to her, I was connected with attorney Paul Silvestri, who, along with the entire team, handled my case with excellence, keeping me informed every step of the way.

Thanks to their dedication and hard work, my case was successfully resolved. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you again to the entire team for your support and commitment.

The number one characteristic I liked about this firm was the communication. Every member of team was pleasant to talk to. Having access virtually was awesome with all video explanations about the process. The team worked well together to settle my case. I wish I knew every team members name. Thank You team for your hard work and effort. I can say my medical bills are paid and my case settled. Thanks Again for being a reputable organization.

Absolutely astonishing to work with. Not only has every question I’ve asked been answered, everyone has made everything in the process very pleasing!

My wife and I were in a major accident. After the accident one of our big worries was our medical bills. Sam at Kogan and DiSalvo coordinated with our Drs to assure coverage and put our minds at rest. I had to have surgery which thankfully went well. I was very happy to not have any unanswered concerns during that time. The person who hit us blamed us for the accident but our dash camera showed them at fault. Tiffany our Rockstar of a lawyer proved them at fault and leveraged the insurance for the maximum settlement. She then went after our under/uninsured coverage and fought for a settlement that we could never have dreamed of. Never a doubt Tiffany and the team of Kogan and DiSalvo are the lawyers that you want on your side. Thank you again.

Trust the Process – Outstanding Team, Remarkable Results

Working with Kogan & DiSalvo was one of the best decisions I could’ve made—and a huge part of that was thanks to Tiffany Fanelli. From start to finish, she and the team were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me through every step of the legal process.

You really have to trust the process. It can be slow, and at times, it might feel like nothing is happening—but behind the scenes, your team is working hard. If you have questions, ask. If you’re not sure what to do, ask. That open communication made all the difference for me, and it helped me stay informed and confident the entire way through.

I can’t thank Tiffany and the firm enough for their hard work and support. Their patience, professionalism, and attention to detail led to an outcome that exceeded my expectations.

One more thing—if you don’t have UM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage, get it. Too many drivers out there are uninsured, and protecting yourself with UM coverage is essential. I’ve learned how crucial it is, and I hope others will too.

Highly recommend Kogan & DiSalvo, and especially Tiffany Fanelli, for anyone needing a reliable and compassionate legal team. Thank you all for All your hard work.
