“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.

Mohamed S. (Civil Rights)
“I was very happy with the results from Koufman & Frederick. Attorney Garand was very understanding and I was comfortable with her. Considering what I went through, it went really quickly; faster than I expected. There were no problems. Now everything is going great in my life.”
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. “
