I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to Pendergast Law for taking my case. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “Life Happens” and when it does you deal with it until it passes, walk through it trusting that the outcome will work out for the good, well in my case the latter prevailed. Timing is everything, as I strived to let patience have her perfect work. Prior to Pendergast agreeing to take my case, I felt completely lost with regards to knowing what to do, or where to go until a friend recommended I give them a call. If you, or someone you know has their back up against the wall, give Pendergast Law Firm a call, and let them take the heavy burden off your shoulders. Thank you Pendergast you are a GODSEND!

I hired Pendergast Law in 2023 to pursue recovery from two insurance companies for a significant auto accident. From start to finish, the Pendergast team assigned to my case worked tirelessly to obtain the maximum insurance recovery available. While Shane Moriarty, Michael Kragness, Storm Shouman and Doug Kennedy were my primary contacts, I am very grateful to them and the entire Pendergast organization for their diligence and competency bringing my case to the best possible resolution. From my very first contact with them, I knew I had selected the right firm... and I never looked back.

From the moment I contacted to Pendergast Law I was met with compassion, professionalism and support. This was especially important to me, since I was a victim of a multiple car accident, which meant dealing with multiple different insurance companies. The claim process was overwhelming and knew the insurance company was low balling their offer of a settlement of my injuries. The Pendergast team was wonderful to work with, walking me through each step of the process with kindness. Storm was exceptional in keeping me informed, as well as his great negotiations skills for resolving my settlement. With great gratitude of all their work, I am quite happy with the results. I highly recommend Pendergast law!

I was the involved in an accident while driving for Lyft. The other driver fled the accident scene, leaving me with a totaled car and an injury. I was feeling confused and overwhelmed trying to communicate with two insurance companies, and Labor and Industries. From the moment I contacted Pendergast Law, I felt reassured. Their team was incredibly professional and knowledgeable, guiding me through every step with clear and timely communication. They were not only experts in their field but also showed genuine empathy and understanding of my situation. They took the time to explain my options and kept me informed throughout the process. Thanks to their diligent work, we achieved a favorable outcome, and I felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend Pendergast Law to anyone in need of legal assistance. Their dedication and expertise in rideshare accidents made a significant difference in my case.

I was recommended to Pendergast Law from my own family member and I couldn't have been more satisfied. The staff that I worked with were friendly all around, everything was well communicated where I could understand what the process/expectations of my case, I was consistently updated and they made, what to me, was a stressful situation, into something bearable and hopeful. Its hard to find genuine people, let alone a law firm, that wants what's in your best interest and firmly believes in guiding someone through their own individual cases and truly make the process feel less like a "weight" on the shoulders. Most importantly I appreciate that any conversation I had, made me feel like a one on one rather than them talking down to me; this was a worry to me as I went to Pendergast Law for my first car accident and had zero clue what to expect. I'm content with the outcome of my case as well as how well I felt that my wellbeing was considered. I recommend Pendergast Law and I can't thank thim enough, although this review still isn't enough to thank this law firm, I hope anyone who reads this, seeks assistance and guidance from Pendergast Law.

Storm and the rest of the team were fantastic to work with. They understood my goal, which was to just pursue a fair settlement offer, not to try to unnecessarily milk it. They were attentive and handled the settlement professionally. They also decided to reduce their fees at the end to ensure they weren't taking home more than me, something I never asked them to do, they simply volunteered feeling it was the right thing to do. I had a chance to meet Storm in person when everything was said and done and he was just as friendly as he had come across through our prior conversations over phone and email. Great team, appreciate all your efforts!

From the moment I contacted Pendergast law firm I felt compassion and concern for the situation that I was calling them about. From the receptionist to the case manager to the senior negotiator there was nothing but excellence.

As a first time litigate, I was unsure of what to expect. After my initial interview, the Pendergrass Law team put to rest any uncertainties I may have had. They explained, in plain language, my rights, the process and also gave insights into what I could expect from the defense. At each step in the process, I received updates and other information about my case that made it much easier to understand. At the close of my case I was emotional, excited and ultimately proud of the closing arguments brought on my behalf. In arguing, my lawyer not only brought forth the key elements of my case, but he captured my physical pain and emotional suffering. He summarized in his closing, everything I was feeling at the time. It was as if I was speaking to the Judge myself. I could not have been happier with the outcome. This was an extremely difficult time in my life, and I am so glad my team at Pendergrass Law was there to work on my behalf.

After a drunk driver destroyed my car & left me injured, I was very confused as to what to do next. Pendergast Law was a godsend. They guided me, listened to me, took care of all the confusing medical & legal details. They were always beside me, & available to listen & to help. Pendergast Law is the absolute gold standard of legal representation, my honest opinion. I ended up getting the maximum amount of money possible & was thrilled with my settlement. This guy named Zach, who did most of the heavy lifting on the case, was just unbelievable. These guys pay attention. These guys care. Best of the best!

I have used two other personal injury lawyers in the past and never have I felt that I was being well represented. Not only have I met my legal team but they kept me informed almost weekly. I will use them in the future if I ever have the need, they’re the best!

My 90-year old mother was involved in a car accident that was not her fault and though her injuries did not seem major at the time they significantly disrupted her health and started her on a distinct decline which resulted in her death three months later. Up until that time she had led a very active life and was still very involved in all the lives of her many children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. After her death, my siblings and I decided to pursue legal action but the first two law firms that we approached were not optimistic about our case and showed very little interest in taking us on at clients. They expressed concerns about my mother’s age and some underlying medical issues that she had before the accident and they did not feel that it would be worth their investment of time to represent us. This led us to Pendergast Law and from our very first contact with them everything changed for the better. Pendergast Law immediately expressed both interest and confidence in our case and they assured us repeatedly that it had merit. They also offered to represent us right away and they were very sympathetic and compassionate and listened intently to all our concerns and requests. I come from a large family and the Pendergast legal team allowed all of us who were interested to attend the briefings on our case and to submit both pictures and testimonials about all the changes that we had observed in our mother after the accident. Over the course of the next few months they kept in regular contact with us to update us on the progress of our case and were very responsive to all of our questions and concerns. Approximately eleven months later they contacted us with a settlement offer that they had negotiated that far exceeded our expectations and we happily accepted it. I really can’t say enough positive things about Pendergast Law and I will forever be grateful to them for the kindness and compassion that they showed all of us and for the amazing effort and energy that they put into our case from the first contact to the final settlement. They provided us with a deeper and more satisfying feeling of closure over our mother’s passing and I would very highly and proudly recommend their services to anyone who is in need of competent and compassionate legal support.

After speaking with two different attorneys regarding an accident, a friend referred me to Pendergast Law. I was fortunate enough to speak with J.P. Pendergast, who not only calmed my fears but took action in a way the other attorneys had not pursued. To say I'm grateful is an understatement, he and his team assured that I and my family received justice. If you have any doubt, rest assured, when you call Pendergast Law, you're getting the real deal! Thank you J.P. Pendergast!!!!

Zach Kozma was incredibly helpful and easy to work with. Zach and his team are fantastic! I appreciate everything they’ve done for me ❤️
