“Atty. Brett Kaminsky was recommended to us and we couldn’t be more grateful. Brett helped us navigate through a difficult and stressful few years, keeping us calm, educated, and informed along the way. He remained committed to our case and was so easily accessible and responsive. I can’t recommend Brett and his team enough! We are forever thankful.”

“Brett was my lawyer in a medical malpractice case that ended VERY well. After speaking with countless lawyers that just referred me to paralegals who never got back to me, I was referred to Brett. He practically gave me the shirt off his back with his hospitality and gave me all of his direct lines to reach him at 24/7. Brett saw more than dollar signs, he genuinely cared about me and my family through the whole process. Don’t mistake compassion for weakness, because this man will fight tooth and nail for you until the end. I hope this helps anyone in need of top quality representation make a decision to reach out to him.”

“There aren’t enough positive words to express our experience with Brett J. Kaminsky, Esq. He kept us informed every step of the way and was always available quickly when we had questions. Brett was incredibly understanding, attentive and thorough, and we could not be more pleased with the entire experience as well as the outcome of the case. I highly recommend Attorney Kaminsky and his firm. You will not be disappointed.”

“A local attorney referred us to Brett Kaminsky to assist with a case related to a family member’s death, and we are deeply grateful for that recommendation. During an incredibly difficult time, Brett was compassionate, thoughtful, and patient with our family as we grieved and worked to process what had happened. He was an excellent communicator—clearly explaining all of our options, what to expect and keeping us informed every step of the way. Everyone we interacted with at Friedman Schuman Layser was professional, supportive, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Brett Kaminsky and the team at Friedman Schuman Layser.”
