Honest and transparent through the legal process
Siskinds were instrumental in making sure I received a fair settlement to adequately support my medical needs. Despite my case not being an easy one, they did not shy away from taking me on. Siskinds is honest and transparent through the legal process. They will help ease some of your anxieties and take the lead, so you can focus on the important things in your life. - E.T.

They worked tirelessly and fought for me
What can I say about Christina and the Siskinds team?
They helped me tremendously throughout one of the most difficult times in my life. They worked tirelessly and fought for me; supported me and encouraged me.
I can’t thank them enough for all of their hard work and dedication to my case. I wish them all a lifetime of success and happiness and my endless thanks.
You guys are amazing. Thank you SO much! - S.O.

Went above and beyond in every aspect of my representation
My lawyer was Christina Martin, who went above and beyond in every aspect of my representation. Her exemplary performance and her willingness to push the envelope against my insurance company and seek fair compensation was truly remarkable. Our talks, between lawyer and client have always been informative and amenable. It is with much admiration of her work that I wish you to know that Christina took on an accident that was debilitating to me and difficult for my wife, then turned it into a solution that has now given us hope. In addition, her willingness to reduce her fee structure was truly unexpected and to me unheard of. This added act of altruism has made it possible for my wife and I to anticipate a degree of comfort in our remaining years.

I wish to commend Jill Terpstra who was extremely proficient in communicating up to date and complete information with both myself and Christina. She was clear and so patient when explaining any details that my wife or I needed as the case proceeded.

Finally, if you have a ‘Wall of Recognition’ these women should be prominently shown as notable figures in client representation for Siskinds. My hope is that both women receive due accolades for their diligence in this matter, on my behalf. It is because of them, you can rest assured that should I ever need legal services in the future, Siskinds will be my tried-and-true representative.

With sincerest appreciation - J.H. & S.H.
