Dealing with a workers’ compensation claim was stressful and confusing, especially while trying to recover from an injury and figure out what came next. Working with Schmidt, Kirifides, Rassias & Rio made the process much easier than I expected. They were straightforward, responsive, and clearly knew what they were doing. Whenever I had questions, they took the time to explain things and keep me informed, which really helped ease a lot of the anxiety that comes with this kind of situation. I always felt like my case mattered and that it was being handled carefully and professionally. I’m grateful for the support I received and would recommend this firm to anyone who needs help with a workers’ compensation matter. The settlement they got me really changed my life for the better. I will forever be in your guys debt. I wish i could give you guys guys a million stars!!!

If you are facing a legal hurdle you need a good lawyer. A lawyer that will fight for you, one that will get you what is fair. So many people get hooked through the yellow pages by looking for the biggest boldest advertisement and will get stuck with inexperienced non-aggressive legal representation. You need a lawyer like Vasil Kirifides who will fight for you and listen to your needs. He does not pressure you into anything and did not let anyone take advantage of me.

Very good lawyer. Fights hard for injured people. I will recommend him to anyone who asked me. He goes the extra mile. He even came to my house to see me because my injury prevented me from driving. If he were a dog he would be a pittbull fights for your rights.
