    Exceeded My Expectations in Every Way
    Basch, Keegan, and Spada Law Firm exceeded my expectations in every way! We had the pleasure of working with Ms. Keegan, who handled our car accident case with expertise, compassion, and unwavering dedication. Ms. Keegan's exceptional skills and experience in personal injury law made all the difference in our case. She worked tirelessly for over a year, fighting for our rights and ensuring we received the fair compensation we deserved. What impressed me most was Ms. Keegan's commitment to her clients. She truly cares about the people she represents, and it shows in everything she does. Her open and honest communication, her willingness to answer our questions, and her empathetic approach made a difficult process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Basch, Keegan, and Spada Law Firm to anyone seeking top-notch legal representation. Ms. Keegan and her team are the best in the business, and I feel grateful to have had them by our side. Thank you, Ms. Keegan and Basch, Keegan, and Spada Law Firm, for your outstanding service and unwavering commitment to justice! If ever needed again I will hire them, they are our only choice!

    Derek has always been on top of the case
    So far so good, Derek has always been on top of the case and he was able to get the full policy because of his diligent work ethic and his knowledge of the law. I pray he is as successful with my underinsured motorist through my policy.

    Derek Spada is a true hero.
    5 years ago a state trooper hit me head-on going the wrong way in my lane, speeding around a sharp curve. He then tried to blame it on me, fake a 911 call, and had his teammates harass me on multiple occasions. I suffered multiple injuries, including 4 rotator cuff tears, one that they can never mend. I slept sitting up with a metal cast holding my arm at a 90° angle for 6 weeks. I couldn't put on my own clothes, let alone perform other basic human functions. I also have suffered PTSD and other mental anguish. After multiple appeals on their part, we won the case! It takes a lot to stand up to bullies. It takes a lot to stand up to an establishment you look to for safety. It takes a lot to stand up to anyone who has more power than you do. Derek Spada is a true hero. He stood up to the New York State Troopers and won the largest amount ever awarded for my case. That took courage. I’m so proud of us. He also took care to be sensitive to having me view the video of my accident, which he knew would be traumatic, and had stills printed so I didn’t have to relive the accident. I now consider him a good friend. Thank you, Derek.

    John exceeded my expectations
    This is not my first time dealing with Basch and Keegan. The first time was advocating for my husband; unfortunately, he was in an MVA and was hit by a driver under the influence. Eli represented us then and did not disappoint; he did an amazing job, and very quickly. This time around, unfortunately, it was myself that needed an attorney, and when I called, it was John that responded and was available right away. From the first meeting until (the case settled and we still talk) signing of the settlement check, John was available by email or phone. If not during business hours, he didn't hesitate to reach out to me on a Saturday or Sunday or at 7 or 8 p.m to make sure he returned my call or email. He kept me informed of what was happening with my case. We met regularly to make sure I was doing OK and understood what was going on, to get updates, and for me to give updates to John. John got me a very favorable result, and spared me from having to go through the process of an emotionally exhausting trial. He was honest about the process and what should be expected and was realistic about the situation and my injuries. He took a personal interest in my case and seemed to work harder because of it. The case was unique in many ways, and he didn't hesitate when he reviewed my records, and never backed down from the challenge ahead of us. He and his support staff were wonderful. You just have to have patience because these things can take years, but the outcome will be well worth it. John exceeded my expectations and, don't ask how, but was able to get me more than what the policy limits were. I told you it was a unique case! Thanks again, John!

    Highly Recommend Attorney John DeGasperis
    I would highly recommend Attorney John DeGasperis to anyone involved in a motor vehicle accident. He handled my case with utmost professionalism.

    This firm will fight for you!
    I was severely injured in a head-on accident. John DeGasperis handled my case over the past 3.5 years, and I would highly recommend him. One of my injuries is a TBI, and I have found so many people lack the understanding of what someone goes through and how different TBIs can be. John not only understood this but helped bring it to light and show how unfortunately this truly impacts my daily life. He understood it beyond just what my medical records showed and took the time to listen to me. Both John and Katherine kept in regular contact and were always available to answer any questions. Above everything, they showed genuine concern for myself and my family. It’s clear how passionate John is about his work and doing what’s best for his clients. He is extremely hard-working, dedicated, and personable. Although we chose to settle, I had full confidence and trusted John taking my case to trial. I truly feel we got the outcome we did because of having this team on our side. This firm will fight for you and get results! We cannot recommend them enough! I am forever grateful for John, Katherine, and the rest of the Basch & Keegan team!

    The Best Transfer I Made
    In the late 80's, I was involved in an MVA, went to a local attorney, he wasn't aggressive enough for me, never heard from him, or returned my calls. I was frustrated. A good friend recommended Basch LLP. To make a long story short, it was the best transfer I made. Eli handled my case; no fuss-no muss, I felt relieved that I wasn't just another file on the top of the desk. With the professionalism, brilliance, and attentiveness to the case, we were successful! God forbid, I have another personal injury, Basch and Keegan's phone number is in my phone directory.
