I had an excellent experience with Scura, Wigfield, Heyer, Cammarota & Gonzalez, LLP. I would especially like to thank attorney Guillermo González and his representatives Jasmine Muñiz and Karen Gutiérrez for their professionalism, support, and dedication throughout my case.

From the beginning, they made me feel supported and comfortable. They were always willing to answer my questions, explain the process, and keep me informed. Jasmine and Karen were incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, and they always treated me with respect and compassion.

I truly appreciate all the hard work they put into my case and the way they handled everything with professionalism and care. I highly recommend Guillermo González and his entire team to anyone looking for an attorney who genuinely cares about their clients.

Thank you so much for everything! ❤️⚖️

Very precise and straight forward law office. Sometimes lawyers forget you didn't pass the bar and delegate things to you in their terms. All of the attorneys were very direct in the information and response times almost unbelievable. Jasmin and Mr Gonzalez are fantastic i bugged them so much and it never felt like a bother.

Peter Cammarota helped my father and I with my grandparents' estate, which included 5 heirs, no will and a house that needed to be sold. He was incredibly patient and knowledgeable and helped us work through several complications along the way. I highly recommend him and his paralegal Sonia and I do plan to work with him again in the future.

My husband has had multiple cases handled by the Scura law firm and specifically, Tim Bartzos. We have had nothing but pleasant interations with everyone we've came in contact with that works there. With a satisfactory outcome in all of the cases, we cannot thank Tim enough for his efficient work and timely results. It saddens me that our time working with Scura has come to an end but we will recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation. There needs to be more lawyers like Tim in this world, he has set the bar high for any future legal representation we may need.

A couple of years ago, I inherited a legal mess when I took over as executor for my late sister's estate. I just didn't know where to start, especially since my brother struggled with the duties of executor and as co-trustee for my niece. I was referred to Peter Cammarota, who clearly knew his stuff and explained what we had to do and how. His paralegal Sonia was invaluable as my main contact at Scura, Wigfield. She was kind, really efficient and very helpful. I recommend this team without reservation.

My first time in a motor vehicle accident and Attorney Guillermo Gonzalez and his paralegal Jasmine Muniz did an amazing job in my case and I was happy with the results at the time of settlement. I would recommend them for another situation that is motor vehicle related and other services they provide. The teams effort was 10/10. They executed my case perfectly!!

I had a employment discrimination case with Eric Flaim at this office and I was so impressed with his services. Him and his paralegal Jasmine were consistently in touch with me about my case and I appreciated their time and patience. Mr. Flaim is a great attorney who will fight for his clients and ensure that they come out winning. I cannot thank him and his paralegal Jasmine enough. You can tell this firm really cares and that is extremely rare to find.

Excellent law firm. Was referred to them for a variety of estate issues and a complicated coop closing and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Erich Kamm and Tim Bartzos are proactive, integrated, thorough and effective. I highly recommend this firm and their wide variety of legal services.

Guillermo was absolutely amazing and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who will stand up and fight for them. He took on my slip and fall case despite my strong doubts about the possibility of receiving any compensation, given the numerous missing components I believed were necessary to validate and verify the incident. I was overwhelmed with medical bills and lost wages from the accident, unable to work at my previous pace, putting me in significant debt. Throughout the entire process he helped keep my mind at ease with his confidence, honesty, and transparency. I was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy when I first came to Scura, but thanks to Guillermo's diligence and expertise I can now pay off all of my medical bills AND student loans. He also made very insightful suggestions on how to handle the remainder of the compensation I received (that I watched him stand up and fight for) and I could not be more thankful for all he did. Guillermo helped make a really scary time of my life a lot easier and I will forever be grateful.

I recently used Mr. Timothy Bartzos to help me navigate the process of a Workers Compensation claim. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable and professional. He was always available to answer questions and explain the process whether by phone or email. He negotiated well on my behalf and I would highly recommend him to anyone else who might need representation.

We were threatened with a foreclosure from our second mortgage company. John Scura and his team not only stopped the foreclosure but negotiated a much lower settlement than we anticipated. These are the most caring and kind people that I have ever experienced. John even called me to reassure me when he was away on vacation.
We highly recommend this team to anyone who thinks they may not have a way to resolve their issue.

I had the pleasure of working with this law firm for my bankruptcy. Carlos Martinez was one of my lawyers and was he superb for the entire 5 years of my case. He was with me every step of the way. When I came into his office, I had tears in my eyes because I thought I was going to lose my house, and instead I got into a plan that I was able to pay. My tears turned into smiles and my heartache went away. Carlos is very knowledge of the entire process, and he gave me correct information. I have successfully made all my payments and my case was dishoard. I am beyond pleased with this law firm and I would recommend them without hesitation.
