Paulozzi LPA fought long and hard (understatement) for me to get the best outcome possible after my car accident. Joe Paulozzi and Amy Higgins were wonderful… dedicated, persevering, and honest. I cannot thank them enough, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants excellent and proactive representation.
Dog bite injuries are among the most complex for plastic surgeons to correct. When bitten, individuals often instinctively pull away, causing the skin to tear or rip while the dog remains latched on.
