I highly recommend Joe to help you if you are injured in an acc...
I can't speak highly enough of the care and service I received from Burgess. After getting rear-ended, I was offered a settlement that would have barely covered treatment for chronic neck/spine issues. And yet I was close to accepting it because I didn't know how the insurance world worked. Enter Burgess - he patiently explained how this all worked, asked questions that showed how deeply he cared about what happened to me and gu...
I can't say enough great things about Joe. A friend of mine connected me to him. After telling him about my nightmare of a situation with insurance, he immediately offered to help; despite knowing my financial situation. Joe was able to get the issue handled within a week, and I couldn't be more grateful. I can't recommend Joe enough. He is personable, professional and exceptional at what he does.
