“When times get tough, you find yourself looking for comfort and support. When your child is suffering after a terrible accident, you find yourself feeling alone. As parents, we are willing to go to the end of the earth to make everything better. After months of searching, my family found the help we needed at Regan Zambri Long. The staff works as a team and are truly committed to their clients. Jacqueline Colclough was brilliant! Our case was a difficult one but Jackie remained diligent in her efforts to obtain the best results for our daughter. She is one of the most genuine, compassionate and caring human beings I have ever known. Her expertise, along with her driven spirit, helped us to stay the course. It was a very long journey but we never felt alone. Jackie took the time to explain every step of the way. She, along with her team, fought hard for us. In our case, we couldn’t make everything better but with this incredible team, we were able to provide a little brighter future for our daughter. We will be forever grateful!” / Jackie Y.

“There is a reason why Regan Zambri Long PLLC have been awarded so many accolades such as Best Lawyers of the Year, Super Lawyers (Top 10), Best Lawyers (The World’s Premier Guide), Best Law Firms (U.S. News) and more! Those awards speak for themselves, and now I can speak for them, too. Working with award-winning Mr. Salvatore Zambri and his partner Ms. Jacqueline Colclough and their staff have been a breathtaking, correction, “breath-saving” experience. Evidently, there are people out there just as (or even more so) well-organized, detail-oriented, intelligent and methodical as myself 😉. From the beginning they made sure that they had all their ducks in a row so that when it was time to really start the process they were already steps ahead of the opposition (i.e. opposing counsel). And what I have learned throughout the whole process is – for one – that it is not quite like the television versions. Thus, it helped that “my legal team” was not only extremely knowledgeable and hard-working, but that they were kind, caring, sympathetic (even empathetic), responsive and attentive. For those reasons, alone, I would give Mr. Zambri and Ms. Colclough a 5-Star Review. However, if I could, I would double that review because of the results! And for all these reasons and more, I highly endorse and recommend, Mr. Zambri and Ms. Colclough at Regan Zambri Long PLLC.” / V.S.
