"My husband and I were both very satisfied with the representation we received from Joe Nypaver.  Joe was always only a phone call away if we had any questions.  He was never too busy to speak to us.  He explained everything to us so that we were aware of what was going on with our case at all times, and he explained things in a way that we understood.  We were both very comfortable with Joe and would not hesitate to seek his help again if needed.  We have already recommended Joe and will continue to do so."

"I was injured as a result of an M.V.A. (motor vehicle accident), which caused me to not be able to work for over 4 months and then on light duty for approx 1 year.  Attorney Nypaver not only helped me with my medical bills and lost wages; he was also successful in settling my case in a very quick & proficient manner, against the responsible party.  Attorney Nypaver was not timid in accepting this case unlike other attorneys.  I recommend SKN Law Associates to all.  Thank you for professional, prompt and friendly services."

"Ms. Kovacs helped me get a settlement when the company I worked for just wanted to get rid of me.  Company claimed they did not have work for me with my restrictions.  Company would not even give me disability because I could work answering the phone.  I recommend  Ms. Kovacs to a lot a friends that have had the same problem as I did.  She has won the cases for my friends.  She does not back down and she tells you up front if she thinks she can win your case.  I want to thank her and her firm for the great job on my behalf."

S.B., Huntingdon, Pennsylvania

"Attorney Richard Serbin  and his staff are outstanding examples of the American legal system in action for victim's rights.  They possess an unparalleled commitment and dedication for obtaining justice.

Nearly two decades ago when the thought of abuse or molestation by a church official was considered to be sacrilegious, let alone to make accusation that such a horrendous act could be perpetrated against your own child, Attorney Richard Serbin accepted the challenge of filing legal action against the Altoona-Johnstown Roman Catholic Diocese for allowing one of its Priest to sexually abuse my son.

Attorney Serbin's persistence and unwavering commitment for almost 20 years have not only brought justice for my son, but for many sexual abuse victims of Catholic Priests.  His entire staff and legal team demonstrate the highest level of integrity and professionalism.  Without a doubt, Richard Serbin is the Victim's Advocate Attorney."

M.B., Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania

"I was injured at work and was unable to return for months.  Before I was able to return to my regular job, the insurance company sent me to one of their doctors for evaluation.  The doctor said I had completely recovered.  Attorney Kovacs fought for me so I did not have to return to work before I was ready."

J.R., Altoona, PA

"What could have been a frightening experience for my young child (who had been injured in an automobile accident) was anything but frightening.  We were treated with respect and compassion.

Our experience with Attorney Serbin  and his staff was a successful journey and we would recommend his firm to anyone."

P.K., New Enterprise, Pennsylvania

"Our son was hit by a car and sustained devastating injuries.  He endured 9 surgeries & over 9 months of physical therapy.  Attorney Joe Nypaver handled our son's case with compassion, sensitivity & the utmost professionalism.  He was successful in settling our case against the responsible party.  We were extremely pleased with Attorney Nypaver's services and would highly recommend him and the law offices of Serbin, Kovacs & Nypaver ."

R.R. & R.R., Duncansville, Pennsylvania

"After an injury at work, I knew that I would need the services of an attorney.  I was referred by a family member to contact Attorney Kovacs.  It was a difficult time for me and my family, and I was nervous about getting a lawyer, and going through legal proceedings.  After my wife and I met with Attorney Kovacs we felt more more at ease about the situation.  It was a difficult process, and Attorney Kovacs got us through it with very favorable results.  Since that time, when I have needed anything else Attorney Kovacs has been quick to get an answer or to resolve an issue.  I am very pleased to have an attorney who was very knowledgeable and professional in their work."

B.P., Altoona, PA

"I was injured as a result of a drunk driver  and have been off work for over one year now.  Attorney Serbin was wonderful.  I personally do not believe in suing individuals and was hesitant to contact a lawyer, but Attorney Serbin was very caring and compassionate along with his staff.  They never pressured me to do anything I did not want to but they did enable me to settle with the insurance companies and recoup my lost wages and medical expenses."

S.O., Woodbury, Pennsylvania

"The services that I recieved from Attorney Serbin and his staff following an automobile accident were not only professional but were delivered in a courteous and timely manner.  I was always kept informed of all situations and the progress that was being made with my case.

The settlement that he negotiated with the insurance companies has enabled me to continue the necessary medical care and rehabilitation for the spinal and head injuries that I had incurred."

V.C., Houtzdale, Pennsylvania

"I was the victim of clergy sex abuse  as a youth and have suffered many consequences as a result.  Attorney Serbin won a fair settlement for me, in spite of the fact that the responsible party was not bound by law to offer one.  Attorney Serbin and his staff handled my case, not only with unrelenting and steadfast competence, but also with strict confidentiality and respect for my wishes.  I feel satisfied that justice was served in my case - against strong odds.  And, to my surprise, the legal process was positive and even healing.  THANK YOU!"

K.S., Johnstown, Pennsylvania

"I faced many attorneys who yelled, screamed and tried to discredit my case, but Laverne Kovacs, my attorney, in her calm, cool & collected way went by the law and won hands down!  I would never use any other attorney.  Thanks Laverne!"

J.T., Tyrone, PA

"We would like to comment on the professionalism and kindness we recieved for Attorney Richard Serbin during the lengthy trial we experienced.  It seemed no one believed in our case but Attorney Serbin.

We dealt with a horrible experience in the medical field; along with the loss of a loved one.

Attorney Serbin & Mary Ann were always there at a personal level to comfort us and work with us one on one.  They helped us through an experience; they were not just there working on a lawsuit.

It was overwhelming filling out papers time after time, numerous phone calls, re-living our past, over and over, a couple of mistrials-- then finally we had an arbitration.  Attorney Serbin was successful in settling our case.  But, he took it to a personal level and cared about our feelings and what we were going through.  These people took us and believed in us when an injustice was done and continued to fight for us against the odds until justice prevailed.

We are very grateful and thankful for the kind, considerate and caring people they are.  It was the only way we could have gotten through it all holding our heads high with dignity.  Their integrity shines through; now we have closure and are grateful for the faith we put in them and they put in us."

M.N., Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania

"I was injured in 1992 and after three consecutive unsuccessful back surgeries my problems with compensation was not resolved until contacting Attorney Kovacs.  She soon had things settled with compensation in court.  All medications are to be paid in the future, and as usual, there are times when a medication is questioned and they refused to pay.  All my wife and I have to do is contact Attorney Kovacs and the problem is resolved.

It is really a comfort to know we have Attorney Kovacs and would recommend her highly to anyone who needs help with their problems."
