Greg La Cost is personable, an excellent listener, and used his expertise throughout my case advising me and to achieve optimal outcomes. Denise Rabe and Hazel Composano worked tirelessly to keep me informed and assist with my case. Terri D’Souza miraculously negotiated the medical lien. I highly recommend this team to anyone needing a personal injury attorney.

I had a great experience working with RF Wittmeyer, Ltd. (2101 S Arlington Heights Rd UNIT 103, Arlington Heights, IL 60005) and I’m very thankful for the help I received. From the beginning, the team—including Marisela Nevarez, attorney Greg La Cost, Terri D’Souza, and Ann, the office manager—was professional, responsive, and very clear about the entire process.They took the time to explain my options and were always willing to answer my questions, which really helped ease my stress during a difficult situation. What stood out most was how supportive and attentive they were throughout my case. I always felt updated and informed, and I truly felt like my case was being handled with care and attention to detail. Their communication was consistent and reassuring, and they made a stressful process much easier to manage. I would highly recommend this law office to anyone looking for knowledgeable, reliable, and compassionate legal representation.

I am very grateful and feel blessed to have found this firm and to have entrusted them with my case. My attorney, Greg Lacoste, was always attentive and honest; He fought for more to fair compensation in my case. Marisela and Ivette worked on my case (and they speak Spanish), and Dennise was excellent as well. If you are looking for a personal injury firm, this is the place to go. Thank you so much to the team and thank you Ann btw 😊🌷 Estoy muy agradecida con la firma y especialmente con mi Abogado Greg Lacoste, siempre fue atento, respetuoso y compasivo y sabe cómo llevar un caso de lesión personal y sabe cómo ganarlo, Todo el equipo fue maravilloso, muy agradecida con Marisela, Ivette y Denisse, por cierto, hablan español… Muchas gracias al equipo y gracias Ann por cierto 😊🌷

I have been very pleased with Marisela throughout this process. My accident settlement is finally coming to a close, and she has been very informative, kind, and patient every step of the way. She was on top of everything while making the process much easier to understand and always making me feel confident that the team had my back. I’ll add as well that everyone at the office has been nothing but sweet and proactive!

Marina Safarov Gianina Carreon Denise Adams Terri D. Souza Were very very very helpful in my case couldn’t ask for a better team. When you’re in a situation with an injury I would definitely recommend giving them a call speaking with them. It will greatly benefit you. Don’t fight your case alone give them a call make the process easier on yourself.
