“Melissa Garand & Victor Koufman represented me in my civil rights action. They were always responsive to my requests and were very knowledgeable with respect to my civil rights. As a result, they helped me achieve a very favorable outcome with respect to my case. I highly recommend them to others whose civil rights were violated.”

William D. (Personal Injury - Motorcycle Accident)
“I received a “Not Guilty” verdict. Everything was just fantastic. Attorney Koufman looked at every single thing. I am very happy about what he did. He’s a very good lawyer. He’s respectful. The jury was six women and one guy, and they liked him very much.”
Antonio G. (Criminal - small business owner)
“Koufman & Frederick retained me as an expert in a medical case. They effectively and thoroughly prepared for trial by, for instance, developing a good working knowledge of the content of my testimony. They also helped me determine the best manner by which I presented my expert testimony, and at trial, they were relaxed but very effective before the jury. “
