Testimonials

Dear TMPA,

I am writing you this letter to let you all know that, approximately 10 months ago I was indefinitely suspended from the City of Waxahachie, Police Department. With the help of Bob Gorsky and his legal firm they represented me with the respect that I deserved and did not look at this case as any other. With that being said if I ever need an attorney for any other instance, Bob Gorsky and his law firm will be the first I contact. The representation I received was held to such a high level in which Bob & John went well above and beyond what was ever expected in this situation. They both kept me well informed of the process in this case to high levels of degree.

This is a Thank You letter for what TMPA and Bob Gorsky & John Snider have done for me. It means so much to have a chance to continue to work in the career that I have chosen for my family and for myself.

Respectfully,

George R. Pappas

Dear Mr. Gorsky & Staff,

On January 15th, 2009 I was injured on duty well investigating a major traffic crash at the intersection of S. Westmoreland RD. and W. Kiest Blvd in Dallas. I was standing beside one of the crashed vehicle’s driver’s side rear wheel issuing a citation for FMFR to the driver. The city contractor wrecker driver that responded to take the crashed vehicle to the auto pound injured me when he negligently extended the cargo bed out and down striking both of my legs in the back of the ankles. Due to the continued extension of the cargo bed, both of my heels were pinned between the cargo bed and the pavement causing crush-type injuries to both of my feet.

In the end Mr. Gorsky, you were able to negotiate a highly satisfactory out of court settlement which not only covered all financial obligations to the city of Dallas and your own legal expenses, but also netted me a considerable monetary benefit replacing personal losses and expenses. You remained very confident, and made every effort to keep expectations realistic even though you were able to exceed those expectations at the time the settlement was reached.

I extend my gratitude for the dedication and effort exhibited by you and your staff when addressing my concerns. I will recommend you and your staff to anyone in need of legal representation who desires to be treated as a person, and not solely another case file. Again thank you.

Sincerely.

Bob,

Just wanted to let you know that I went down to IAD to review the completed investigation this morning. My finding was “Not Sustained.”

I wanted to thank you and your staff for all of your assistance during the course of this investigation. Having been a member of another association and using their lawyers in the past, working with you and your firm has been a very welcome change for the better.

Thanks again!

Mr. Gorsky,

I just wanted to tell you that I joined the TMPA just after we got off the phone last week. I saw you do nothing but good things while I was employed with Dallas and always hear great things for what you do for police officers. I would like to always use your services shall the need ever arise. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Lawrence:

On or about November 16, 2007, I contacted TMPA to inquire if TMPA represented personal injury claims while on duty. TMPA responded, stating yes to my inquiry. Another officer at Rockwall County Sheriff's office recommended I contact Robert Lyon and Associates. In doing so, Bob Lyon and Associates agreed to represent me in the personal injury claim.

I want to personally thank Mr. Bob Lyon and Mr. Bob Gorsky and all of the staff at their firm for the handling of my claim and for the promptness and professionalism they showed to me and my wife, Karen. They settled my injury claim to a most satisfactory conclusion.

I cannot thank Attorney Bob Gorsky enough for his help during a recent incident I was involved in at work. It was extremely reassuring to know I had someone so highly regarded watching my back. While it certainly wasn't a huge issue relative to others I have seen in my career, there were moments when I was quite concerned about the situation. Mr. Gorsky's rapid and professional responses to my inquiries during this process were reassuring very much appreciated. Thanks again to Mr. Gorsky and thank you, TMPA, for the being there when we need you.

I would like to thank TMPA and Bob Gorsky for all the hard work and support during my appeal process. I could not have won my arbitration without all that y'all do. My case was minor in comparison to a large portion of cases that y'all deal with, yet it was treated like it was the most important. I am very thankful and I feel that with your hard work, justice was done.

Thank you all,

I just wanted to take an opportunity to say thankyou for all your help throughout this long process. You did a wonderful job at Aaron's appeal, and I wanted to make sure that I thanked you for it. I don't think the final outcome will be positive, but at least we went and stood up for what we believe to be right. It's just unfortunate that DPS uses intimidation techniques to encourage the person to give up on his/her appeal. It is sad to think that Aaron will receive a dishonorable discharge because he decided to fight. But, we decided a long time ago that we would fight until the end. Aaron has been successful in every aspect of his life since DPS terminated him, and I know that he will continue to do well. DPS did not destroy him like they set out to do. At least two of the Commissioners were interested in actually reviewing the information presented. I think that Ms. Barth was very unimpressed with DPS' process for appeal. Maybe the department will end up being a better place to work for those who remain employed there. Change is long overdue within that department. Maybe all the information we presented will at least help trigger some change in the future. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work. Aaron and I couldn't be more pleased with the job you did on our behalf.

Take care!
