Alex is amazing! He was able to help me despite the fact that I had to move back to college. He was able to make the transition stress free for me. He is very patient and has no problem being an advocate for you. Thank you again!

From the moment I stepped into their office, I knew this was a good choice. LJW legal team is by far the one you want to represent you for any personal injury case you have. I had the pleasure of being represented by Lyle Long. His team, including Renee and Jess, were very involved with my case and kept me informed of all that was happening every step of the way. Lyle was available to answer my questions and concerns at any given time, and would have no problem explaining any part of the process that I wasn’t sure of. I would recommend any and every one I know who needs a Personal Injury attorney to use LJW Legal, because when they say they have your back and put you first, they actually mean it. They treat you with respect, like an actual person and not just a case/number and that’s why they stand out miles above the rest.

Had the fortune of meeting this young attorney Alex Jean at a business luncheon for professionals. I was immediately drawn to him with his charisma, genuineness and him being a Local product of South Florida. Being the son of an attorney I know the difference between attorneys and a genuine attorney who knows his field of practice. With that being said I unfortunately found myself in a position where I needed an attorney to represent me to go after what was due to me. I immediately called Alex and he was on the case. I was injured and hit by an uninsured, unlicensed driver, I know, what a surprise in south Florida! Alex explained all my options and had the case settled in 6 months! That’s what I said, six months! Super grateful for his personal commitment to my case and received updates as to my cases status all the way through. I think you’ll find that Alex is the right guy if you’ve been injured or have been in an accident. I feel like I was front and center all the way through. Thank you Long, Jean & Wechsler! Alex is the man!💥🇺🇸💥

From the beginning Lyle didn’t take long at all to help me with my car wreck. Immediately he walked me through everything as I took great pictures of the scene. He then instructed me what to do further. Jess was there to help me orchestrate things as the time got closer to settling and was very transparent with me about the process. Despite the trials that came up.When it came down to the end Marianna disclosed everything and helped me get reductions and waive medical bills down to a minimum. Totally grateful for all who helped get me behinds the scenes to get a fresh start. With new life and a new beginning.Happy New Year

She was ferocious in negotiating. I will always look to them to tackle what comes their way and fight for me.P.s.: Also, thank you to the rest of the team who all worked together to make it happen.

Ryan Wechsler is by far one of the best lawyers around. He gave me the assurance that everything was going to be okay. He is a very professional, respectful, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and an honest lawyer. His entire team (Daniela & Helen) was amazing. Very pleasant and kept me up to date every step of the way during my case. Ryan fought hard for me! I’m very thankful for all of his hard work and everyone at Long, Jean & Wechsler. If you’re ever in need of a great legal team give them a call.

I hired Alex Jean for a personal injury case and little did I know I was going to get world class treatment.I was referred to the best Chiropractors in Miami and then when I moved to St.Pete the LJW team had great connections there too.My Tesla is as good as new, my back is recovering and not to mention the settlement from the insurance. If I didn’t hire them I’d still be trying to recover money from insurance to fix my car.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you need a personal injury attorney I 100% recommend Alex Jean and the team at LJW.

Ryan Wechsler is an excellent attorney. He worked tirelessly on my case, which was a difficult one to begin with. When other attorneys were given me issues to take my case, he was the only one that was reassuring and determine to seek justice for me. I completely trusted his counsel. Had it not been for Mr. Wechsler I would have accumulated a lot of debt. I am forever grateful that he accepted my case.

Ryan and the team are absolute rock stars! I got a recommendation from a good friend to use them, and I was not disappointed. They solved my issue with one strong letter and avoided a bad situation and lots of time and $$$ saved. I will definitely be using them again if the need ever arises.

Very good firm. I had an unusual case. A crane dropped on my car the week of Christmas. Considering the fact my accident occurred during the holiday season, Lyle and his paralegal, Helen, ensured that I received treatment the same day, got a rental, and even settled my case in less than 6 months.They were extremely polite, communicative, and on top of everything. I highly recommend reaching out to them for great legal representation.

I highly recommend Lyle Long and his firm. Additional to a very very good settlement amount, Lyle and his staff were a pleasure to work with. Lyle walked me through the entire process from the moment I contacted him regarding my automobile accident. They were excellent with communication, returning my calls/emails and keeping me informed with updates and progress. Unfortunately, this is my 2nd time hiring his firm. My first experience was that positive that I never thought about hiring another firm to handle my legal matter.

20:04 28 Mar 22

I highly recommend using this law firm. They’re super friendly, super helpful and very very professional. They had everything under control and dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’s. I couldn’t be more happy with there service!!!

I got Into an accident 8/13/2021. A friend of mine told me to contact Ryan, I reached out to him the day after my accident ( which happened to be a weekend day ) and he immediately got right on the case. He was very helpful and I was literally able to reach out to him by phone or text any day and any time. He is always available. He set me up for all of my medical treatment and made sure I understood the whole entire process. He’s a great lawyer and is really on your side. My case was resolved in 4 months and my settlement was way more than I expected. I couldn’t be more thankful for him and his staff. They are excellent.Thank you Ryan,Latia J
