Dear James, I truly appreciate your support, advice and guidance throughout the whole litigation proceedings.  I am so very grateful to have had you as my lawyer.  Thank you for taking the time to explain the process and showing your professionalism and respect.  I cannot even imagine going through this without your help.  Thank you for the positive final resolution.…  With lots of respect and gratitude  -  New York Dentist

I wanted to thank you [Dino Litourgis] again for the excellent representation.  All during my trial, I felt extremely well prepared.  Kevin [Natale] did a great job collecting the required information.  He and Loretta [Palmero] worked extremely well together to present the facts that ultimately led to the verdict in our favor after less than 25 minutes of deliberation. I thought that your cross examination of the prosecution’s expert witness really demonstrated how much you had done your homework.  You sounded more like a medical school professor than an attorney.  Thanks again, best of luck.  -  NY Pediatrician

“Dear Paul, All I can say is that your closing remarks were devastating. You left me little or no room to wiggle and put me on the defensive. My summation was okay, but would have been more effective if I didn’t have to spend so much of my time answering your compelling arguments.

Paul, you are a first-rate lawyer and a worthy adversary. I truly believe that I would have prevailed in this case if you had not been my opponent. I hope your client appreciates what a great lawyer he had.” - Plaintiff’s Attorney

“Dear Mr. Kim, I received the email from your office about the finality of the lawsuit. I am lucky to have had you as my attorney during this awful process. Your calmness and guidance throughout this process kept me grounded.

I am grateful for the time and energy you committed to my case and your positive outlook throughout this process. Thank you for the amazing work that you do.” - New York Family Medicine Doctor

“Mr. Gaujean and his team put in an extraordinary effort studying my case and forming an effective, smart, and comprehensive defense plan.

Since the beginning, Max and I met on weekly basis. He was committed 100%, did an excellent job researching, and prepared me extremely well for what was a very long, high-profile trial with multiple defendants. I admire his enthusiasm, knowledge, and hard work. He was easy to work with, reach, and talk to at any time.

Mr. Maher was also on my team and was nothing short of exceptional. He helped present all evidence to the jury in a way that was modern and easy to understand. I truly believe that Max and Michael were a dream team.

Tom Benvenuto was also in the courtroom frequently checking on my case. I highly recommend Benvenuto & Gaujean for any complicated medical malpractice case.” - Prominent New York Interventional Cardiologist

“Dear Max, From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for all your help through a truly traumatic and terrifying experience.

“A short note to thank you for all of your hard work. It meant a lot to my husband that you believed in him and worked so long to prove he did the right thing. If you can please also thank the physician expert in my name for his belief as well. I hope we can meet again under more pleasant circumstances. Thank you.” - Wife of a New York Urologist

“To the Managing Partners: I was recently represented by your office regarding a malpractice case. Mr. Max Gaujean was the attorney in charge. The process lasted almost five years and has now, thankfully, been discontinued against me. Mr. Gaujean was the only bright spot in the entire process. He was friendly, helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. He went out of his way time and time again to meet with me, even at nights and on weekends. He was extremely dedicated to my case. I just wanted to let you know that he is a credit to your practice. I would not hesitate to consult Max for any legal matter- and I will not hesitate to tell my friends and associates regarding the same. Thank you again for making an unpleasant experience much more bearable.” - New York Surgeon

“Thank you for all the support you provided. It was a rough time for me but your professional demeanor, coupled with a humanitarian approach, helped me through those rough times. Words alone are not enough to convey my gratitude.” - New York Internal Medicine Physician

“One of my clients was recently represented in a matter by Ken Loock. I am an attorney myself, and I was very impressed with the quality of the representation. Mr. Loock was not only knowledgeable, capable and effective, but he and his firm were extremely well organized, very professional, and kept us well informed as the matter progressed to a successful conclusion (the dismissal of all claims against my client). Mr. Loock made my client feel very comfortable that their interests were well represented at all times. I would highly recommend Mr. Loock and his firm.” - Plaintiff’s Attorney
