Client Review: 5/5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"My husband and I were in a horrible head on collision a year ago. The driver nor his parents had no insurance. We didn’t have a clue what to do. My husband talked to another firm, but I wasn’t sure, they just stuff in the mail to look at. We needed someone to talk about our situation. So we looked into Rittgers Rittgers & Nakajima , Barb called us back promptly and explained what and how we needed to proceed and we felt very comfortable with her and her staff. I’m so glad we used Rittgers Rittgers & Nakajima firm. Barb and Lynda were so friendly, helpful and nice every time we talked. If not for them we’d be paying on medical bills etc., forever. So we recommend them highly." - Sue Stanley
