        I highly recommend the Jontiff & Jontiff law firm. They have decades of experience, they know personal injury and insurance law, they are professional, accessible, responsive and they keep you informed. Scott Jontiff represented me after my right foot was injured and I didn’t know what to do. The place where I was injured would not do anything to help me out. Another lawyer told me Jontiff & Jontiff is the best personal injury law firm in Miami. I made an appointment with Scott, he explained the whole process, walked me through the entire process and was always available to answer all my questions. Scott knows the law and the personal injury system, he kept me informed throughout the entire case and he ended up settling my case for much more money than I ever expected to get. If anything were to happen to me in the future, Scott is the first person I will call. I will refer Scott to my family, my friends and anyone else who needs an injury attorney. If you are reading this, SCOTT JONTIFF IS YOUR GUY
