Verdicts

Here is a list of some of the thousands of verdicts and settlements won for our clients. While many cases are settled, if your case must be tried to a verdict, no one will be better prepared to do so than Pegalis Law Group. The goal is a financial recovery that is adequate (whether by settlement or verdict) and for your peace of mind that justice has been served.
