.“After being struck by a car twice in one year, while on a bicycle, I was struggling with the complex paperwork and felt really helpless while dealing with the insurance companies on my own. I almost gave up when a friend of mine recommended Elena Pelz. She got back to me right away and instantly made me feel better. Because of Elena’s help I was able to get my life back on track and focus on my treatments. She was able to reach a global settlement with the insurance companies. I couldn’t have asked for a better result. Thanks, Elena”.
