Lawfty Law, and particularly attorneys Danielle Oglesby and Vance LeBourgeois, successfully represented me after I was hit as a pedestrian by a reckless driver in Washington, DC. It took a lot of persistence to pursue my case, in part because it spanned the COVID pandemic. I was appropriately kept informed of the status of my case as it progressed and appreciated how Danielle and Vance demonstrated a personal interest in seeing my case through. Danielle’s professionalism and assertiveness proved instrumental to resolving my case through a settlement that provided me with satisfactory compensation. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a strong advocate to fight on their behalf!
