I engaged the firm after I had a work comp injury. Tim was assigned as my WC attorney. He is attentive, knowledgeable and very well educated on NJ WC Law. Tim is very responsive and made me feel very well at ease. I was very pleased with the firm, and would highly recommend them.

Very precise and straight forward law office. Sometimes lawyers forget you didn't pass the bar and delegate things to you in their terms.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Timothy Bartzos and his paralegal Jasmine for the excellent work they did on my case. From the very beginning, they demonstrated a high level of professionalism, commitment, and dedication.

Timothy Bartzos was always attentive to every detail, clearly explaining everything to me and guiding me through each step of the process. Thanks to his experience and hard work, we achieved a successful outcome.

I would also like to highlight Jasmine’s work. She was always kind, organized, and efficient. Her constant support and attention made the entire process much smoother and less stressful.

I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance. An exceptional team!

I have worked with John Scura on several legal matters and recently got the opportunity to work with Timothy Bartzos on a case involving my son. I had a great experience working with the both of them. I also enjoyed working with John’s paralegal Alexsa Gonzalez. They were professional, responsive, and truly had my best interest at heart throughout the entire process of all my legal issues. They took their time to explained clearly, and they made a stressful situation much easier to handle. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable attorney.

Timothy Bartzos helped me with my workers comp case. He was very communicative. I wasn't out of the loop or confused about anything. He updated me through the entire legal procedures. He handled every issue I was having with the case and he was very thorough when he explained everything to me to ensure I had no misunderstanding about anything. I recommend him, your case will be in good hands.

My eternal gratitude to Attorney Jamal Romero for all the attention and help he gave me with my case.
Thanks to him, I have regained the peace of mind I so desperately needed.
An exceptional professional and a kind and gentle person.

I was recommended to this law firm by my husband. Since my first consultation, Mr Tim Bartzos has been knowledgeable, professional, and sympathetic to my case. He discussed in detail if I had a case and the entirety of the process even before any paperwork was signed to retain him. I was also introduced to Mr. Chris Heyer who was also very excellent and went above and beyond for my case.

Both gentlemen kept me informed on every step of the processes. Quick to answer calls and emails to take care of any doubts or questions and were there to guide me until the day I signed my settlements. Let me tell you, they sure did fight for my cases to ensure that I received the best outcome.
The front desk and paralegals were also courteous , polite and prompt.

I ???? recommend this law firm.
Thank you again Mr. Bartzos and Heyer.

Hiring Scura, Wigfield, Heyer, Stevens and Cammarota was one of my better decisions. Working with Tim Bartzos, John Scura, Alexsa Gonzales and the rest of their team was a great experience. Tim was on top of things from day one and until the end. He never left a question unanswered, always made time, and ensured that I was kept abreast of all activity and progress. His explanations were always accurate, detailed, and to the point. Staff is knowledgeable, courteous, and delivered top results in a significantly shorter length of time than I had envisioned. To say that I recommend this firm is an understatement.

Guillermo was absolutely amazing and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney who will stand up and fight for them. He took on my slip and fall case despite my strong doubts about the possibility of receiving any compensation, given the numerous missing components I believed were necessary to validate and verify the incident. I was overwhelmed with medical bills and lost wages from the accident, unable to work at my previous pace, putting me in significant debt. Throughout the entire process he helped keep my mind at ease with his confidence, honesty, and transparency. I was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy when I first came to Scura, but thanks to Guillermo's diligence and expertise I can now pay off all of my medical bills AND student loans. He also made very insightful suggestions on how to handle the remainder of the compensation I received (that I watched him stand up and fight for) and I could not be more thankful for all he did. Guillermo helped make a really scary time of my life a lot easier and I will forever be grateful.

We were threatened with a foreclosure from our second mortgage company. John Scura and his team not only stopped the foreclosure but negotiated a much lower settlement than we anticipated. These are the most caring and kind people that I have ever experienced. John even called me to reassure me when he was away on vacation.
We highly recommend this team to anyone who thinks they may not have a way to resolve their issue.

I never felt as though I didn’t know what was going on because he called regularly to provide status updates. He was patient while explaining the process to me. He answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Mr Bartzos if you are looking for an experienced, qualified, professional.
