"Dale has represented me for two years now, and he is everything you could hope for in an attorney. He goes above and beyond, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has changed my life with how well he has represented me. He is communicative, honest, hard-working, and goes above and beyond. It was clear immediately after he signed up as my attorney that he is an attorney who isn't just in it for the money, but also cares about his clients. I had never experienced working with anyone from any field or any time in my life who provided as much thought, time and hard-work into helping me--not just in law, but in life. Thank you so much Dale! I will never forget all you have done for me! He has made a permanent positive impact on my life--both from the amazing results of my case AND from how he has treated me as a person first and foremost. I highly recommend him. You won't regret hiring him as your attorney. He is a special advocate that you won't find anywhere else."

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2024-2025Choosing this firm was one of the best decisions I made! After the at-fault party came back with a low initial offer, my attorneys didn’t pressure me to settle—they helped me arrive at an obvious but informed decision to reject it. Because this was my first experience with a personal injury case, I was honestly clueless about what number I should realistically expect. After the disappointment of that low offer, I asked my attorney what a reasonable settlement might look like. This is the point in the process I really want to emphasize. Even though I was feeling discouraged about what might be considered an “acceptable” offer, my legal team took the time to genuinely listen to my expectations. They asked me what I felt was reasonable and took that seriously. That level of consideration—treating me as an active participant rather than just a case number—was truly above and beyond and made all the difference. I decided to suggest a reasonable but higher-end number, fully expecting that even if we fell short, it might still result in a strong outcome I could feel good about. After a great deal of patience and resoluteness—and being fully prepared to move forward with court proceedings if necessary—I finally received the call I had been waiting for. That call came during Christmas week, which says a lot about the dedication of The Law Offices of Dale R. Gomes and their willingness to work tirelessly even during the height of the holiday season. Because of their persistence and skill, the settlement didn’t just reach the number I had suggested—it exceeded it. The Law Offices of Dale R. Gomes were supportive, honest, communicative, and incredibly easy to work with during a very difficult time. I always felt heard and respected, and I trusted them completely. I’m extremely grateful for the outcome they achieved and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer. Thank you so much to Dale, Nicole, Amber, and everyone else involved in fighting on my behalf!!! This outcome has been life-changing to my current circumstances.🙏
