What Clients Say
"After our daughter's birth injury, every other firm said the case was too complicated. Corboy & Demetrio took it, fought it for four years, and won an eight-figure settlement that secures her care for life. They are the real thing."
"Hit by a semi on I-90. Spinal injury, can't work the job I had for twenty years. The trucking company offered insulting numbers. Corboy & Demetrio walked them into a courtroom and walked them out with a verdict ten times what they offered."
"They never made my husband's death feel like a case number. Compassionate, prepared, ferocious in court. We are forever grateful for what they did for our family."
