Our Approach
While results are important, our clients also appreciate the personalized service they receive at Potter Padilla & Pfau. Often clients come to us after being denied disability benefits or a dispute with their employer. They have experienced the frustrating bureaucracy that pervades many government agencies and need a skilled representative to help them obtain the benefits they need and deserve. We take the time to explain options and keep you regularly informed as to the status of your case.
Experience has taught us that a strong attorney client relationship is necessary in any legal matter and we maintain close contact with you, regardless of your legal issue. Our staff is loyal, knowledgeable and trained in the latest office technology. Our office is comfortable and productive and each client is treated with care and respect.
With the retirement of Eliot Samulon, Thelma Cohen, and Joshua Potter, the firm continues as Potter Padilla & Pfau in the same location with much of the same staff who have been with us for more than 25 years.
