Reviews for P. Jeremy
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.It was a pleasure to work with Jeremy Bolger. He was always prepared, well organized, and his interpersonal skills are excellent. I was very impressed with the manner in which our case was presented - forceful when necessary but otherwise matter of fact statements. His approach was well received by the arbitration judge. He did an exceptional job for us.
I've known Jeremy for probably 30 years and rate his integrity, enthusiasm and knowledge of maritime law very highly.
In addition to being a highly professional lawyer one of his greatest assets/skills is his ability to understand what his clients expect from him and what they actually need. He delivers a tailored professional service but is also a very nice person (which is not true of all lawyers!!)and a pleasure to work with.
