After my son was hit by a vehicle. Macclosky and Kesler fought hard for my son and fought for a fair compensation. They took my son’s mental health into consideration too. This alone is hard to come by!

After a near head-on collision with a drunk driver, fractured ribs, hospital stay, and faint support from the insurance network, I called MacCloskey Kesler and Associates. There, a very competent team took my details and went to work. The parameters of my case were patiently explained, insurance payments coordinated, and attorney guidance given in case of a need to appear in court as witness. From initial collection of case details to assuring that my settlement check securely arrived in the mail box, was legal assistant Renee Beu. A special thank you to Renee for her empathy and superb work.
Owner response
Thank you for your 5-star review. We are sincerely grateful, and consider a good review to be the best return favor a happy client gave give. Renee is an all-star for us and has been for many years, and we are not surprised at all that she helped you successfully.
