At times I felt absolutely defeated, but you got me through it.
Emily, Jennifer & Kortney,
I want you all to know how truly thankful I am. It has been one of the most trying periods of my life dealing with injuries, divorce and missing out on the things I had previously enjoyed. At times I felt absolutely defeated, but you got me through it and made sure I got the help I needed as well put me in touch with Marie in your office to handle my divorce. Although I still have to live with my pains -having this over brings relief and the closure is a good feeling. I hope no one I know ends up in this situation, but if they do I will be sending them your way.
Thank you! - Andy S.

I knew when I met Emily Foreman I had made the right choice: one, in pursuing legal action and two, in choosing Emily to represent myself in my case. She is extremely smart and acted in my best interest throughout the course of my litigation. She was always organized and available whenever I needed to discuss anything pertaining to my case. Thanks Emily! - Anonymous
I would certainly without any hesitation recommend Emily Foreman and Siskinds law firm.
Emily Foreman was committed to my immediate needs as a client. She made it a priority that all my medical needs were met by discussing with me what my rights were, and whether or not I was receiving the appropriate coverage from my own insurance company. Emily and the Siskinds team were very accommodating, working with me at every point of the process, answering any questions or concerns I had throughout the process, and reassuring me when I was in doubt. I personally was intimidated by this process, and was very hesitant to pursue legal action, however, Emily discussed with me my options and made me feel comfortable about the process. I would certainly without any hesitation recommend Emily Foreman and Siskinds law firm to any individuals who need their assistance. - M.S.
Thank you for everything you have done for us.
Emily we would like to thank you for everything that you have done for us. You have worked hard and professionally on our personal injury cases. God Bless you in all you do for others! - T. and T.
Emily Foreman was unbelievable.
Emily Foreman was unbelievable in helping me through a difficult time in my life. After I was involved in an accident and suffered numerous injuries, I didn’t know what my options were. I was dealing with doctors, physical issues, and the overwhelming emotions involved in knowing my conditions could possibly never improve. Emily walked me through the process and made it easy. She answered all my questions, no matter how trivial, and took time out of her day to ensure a quick response and ensured I received all the supports I needed to try and get back to how I use to be. Throughout the years I’ve received so much support from Emily and she was truly compassionate. Emily not only worked for me but worked with me to ensure I was happy and satisfied. - Marko
Thank you, Emily.
My daughter and I were in a serious accident when another driver turned into our lane of traffic. I was fortunate enough to have a lawyer give me the name of Emily Foreman at Siskinds. Making the appointment to go and see Emily Foreman was one of the best decisions I have ever made, for both my daughter's health and my health. When a father sees his daughter hurt, to have someone help us the way Emily did was truly a great feeling. Emily was very patient with us, and understanding of the pain that my daughter and I were in. She took the time to explain the legal process and the steps we could take to recover. Emily handled every situation professionally and guided us through the tough times. Without Emily's help, I am sure we would never have received the quality of rehabilitation treatment that we received. I truly believe that both my daughter and I will have a better quality of life because we called. - Kirby

Thank you for fighting for us.
Emily Foreman, thank you so much for all the work you have done for us on our car accident claims. We are so appreciative to have people fighting for us. We couldn't ask for better legal representation for our family. The work you do is remarkable. Without you, we would still be stuck at square one. - Anonymous
One of the smartest calls I have ever made.
It will never happen to me. How many times have I said that over the years...well I was wrong. It did happen to me. I was involved in an MVA that I had no fault in, and I was lucky to live through. Unfortunately I did get injured. I didn't know what, where or whom to turn to. My sister recommended contacting a lawyer. I followed her advice and contacted the law firm of Siskinds - specifically Emily Foreman. This turned out to be one of the smartest calls I have ever made. I was a little intimidated, as I think all of us are in the presence of lawyers, but Emily made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Emily went above and beyond in handling my case. She asked questions I would never have thought to, and answered anything I could come up with. Emily kept me up to date with either a phone call or an e-mail. I could reach her anytime I needed and if she wasn't available her Law Clerk Adrienne was. Emily is a true professional: clever, articulate and so much more. I almost felt sorry for the other side. My overall rating of my experience with both Emily and Siskinds as a whole would be a 10 out of 10. From the moment you walk in the door you are made to feel welcomed and the prompt, courteous service goes a long way. - D. Somerville
