Spent a year getting nowhere only to get farmed out to another attorney for the same reason I went to them. It went nowhere and was a giant waste of my time.

I have wanted to send a review of the quality of legal representation regarding my personal injury case, but I feared I would not have been able to adequately express my heartfelt thanks and gratitude for all the work completed by Maureen Keegan, Eli Basch and their amazing staff of legal secretaries and assistants. So instead, I procrastinated for the last 14 months.

Because of the final agreement Basch & Keegan secured for me, I have been able satisfy the debt incurred since I lost my job because of the injuries. I have been able to help with the household budget as well as positioning ourselves nicely for retirement. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I would have been able to get the same results by myself.

I have learned that personal injury cases are not easy to litigate. Having a deep understanding of the personal injury law is only 1 requirement. A solid grasp of insurance law, be it worker’s compensation, auto, home, commercial liability to name a few, is also necessary. It was evident early on Maureen & Eli knew exactly how my case needed to proceed.

Their legal advice was 100% spot on in hindsight. They knew I had a “new reality” to live with and they felt that I had a solid case to litigate. Again, there was NO WAY I would have been able to handle this on my own.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!! Me & my husband are eternally grateful.

I highly recommend this law office for any person dealing with a personal injury. Listen to the advice they give you. Do exactly what they tell you to do. It’s a bumpy ride full of traps.

Had a question about information regarding my car accident. John replied back and also answered my questions in a timely manner. He didn’t charge me and was very kind. Thank you for your time.

So helpful. Clear and direct and get the job done!

Very nice staff

John and Staff were wonderful! John fought for what was right and made sure my medical bills and costs were taken care of.

John is very knowledgeable, responsive and goes above and beyond.

John and staff were excellent throughout entire process! Highly recommend.

The most responsive, best hearted and HONEST lawyer I have ever come across in my life. What a guy! The term “Stand up guy” doesn’t fit anyone like it fits John Degasperis! Made my day!

John Degasperis is the best lawyer in town really knows his business I highly recommend

I was rear-ended on Route 28 at a dead stop with my daughter in the car. It was terrifying for both of us and my car was totaled. I was offered a very small amount from the driver’s insurance company, which I initially accepted and regretted. I reached out to John DeGasperis immediately based on his reputation as someone who is more concerned with doing what’s best for his clients than padding his own pockets. He went so far out of his way to make sure I was taken care of, including getting me in touch with great physicians when I didn’t know where to start and even offered transportation assistance when I needed to get to my appointments. He literally helped me all the way. Mine was a tough case because I have a neurological condition to begin with and insurance companies might have made this a tough case. No match for John! He contacted my neurologist and read through so many notes to come to the conclusion that there was no mistaking that I deserved better than a few hundred dollars. He fought for me when I couldn’t even keep it together to fight for myself with my prior condition and busy life. I can’t say enough positive about Mr. DeGasperis. All the staff at the firm are also beyond attentive, professional, and quick to respond. They all seem to understand how much an accident like this can affect the life of someone like me, a single mother with a medical condition, I would trust my life to John. He will always do what’s right. I have a settlement for far more than I expected (I really didn’t think it was possible and that I was just wasting John’s time initially!) and barely lifted a finger. He did all the work and it took a LOT of follow-up with me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, John DeGasperis! I will ALWAYS recommend you and I carry a couple of your business cards in my wallet for forgetful types like myself! Thank you is not enough! Blessings! You and your firm are deeply appreciate.

Following a car accident in June of 2017, a friend recommended I contact John DeGasperis of Basch & Keegan (Kingston, NY). This being the first serious accident I'd ever been in, I did not know what to do. I had high deductible insurance and was very afraid of what this was going to cost me... The first thing John did for me was to help me realize I didn't need to use my own medical insurance to see doctors and have the tests that were required to help me to heal.

Throughout this process, John was was incredibly helpful and professional. He listened to me, explained things clearly, kept me informed and then got me a very fair settlement just over a year after the accident. I would absolutely recommend John DeGasperis and Basch & Keegan without reservation!

John DeGasperis was always understanding ,courteous, professional & always return my calls within the same day. I would highly recommend him.

Compassionate, dedicated, professional...Eli, Maureen, Derek, John, and all the staff...best of the best of the best! Thank you for all your service!

My husband and I have known John for a number of years. After an unfortunate issue with a local medical facility we reached out to John for legal assistance. John was upfront and answered any and all concerns. He was able to help us succesfully reach a resolution. I would strongly recommend John and his law firm to my friends and family members should they need his services.

John made my tragic experience bearable. Communication was transparent and constantly flowing. I appreciate the time and effort that created positive results. John and his team were very helpful and made the process easier than normal. I would both use and recommend Basch and Keegan for any future cases.

Extremely responsive, even after hours! Highly recommended!

John, Lori and the whole staff helped me through a challenging process with professional, informed, expert, plain language explanations & kindness. I was in a pretty bad car accident; & quite hesitant about the legal process. John guided me with thorough explanations, options, possibilities & a realistic time frame. Over time & experience I came to trust John's counsel. This is a very busy firm, yet I never felt rushed & I never felt like a number. Eli & all have successfully created a law firm that balances expertise & proficiency found in large firms with attention & warmth found in small firms. While observing John in action, it soon became obvious that he has exceptional negotiating skills combined with a wide & deep breath of knowledge & experience. He stayed on top of the case & aggressively sought compensation for all of the consequences of the accident.
I highly recommend John DeGasperis & Basch & Keegan for great representation.

John DeGasperis is a great lawyer. He possesses a substantial skill set. He works diligently to prepare, demonstrates a mastery of the relevant legal concepts, expresses himself clearly and convincingly and, most importantly, is a compassionate listener. We would hire him again in a second.

As an attorney, I have referred numerous clients in need of competent effective personal injury representation to Basch & Keegan. My clients have always advised me of their utmost satisfaction in the representation they received. When I was in need of representation myself, I could think of no firm better suited to handle my matter. John DeGasperis was outstanding in the handling of my case. I now know, personally, the reasons my clients have been so satisfied. I can't thank John, Eli, Maureen, Derek and the staff and B&K enough for their hardwork.

I was treated badly by finklestien and partners. I found basch & keegan online. They quickly took over my case , even thought my old atty, did every dirty thing to stop it, or prolong it. and was able to settle for what I wanted in a very timely matter. What finklstien couldn't do in over 4 years on my case. They were very friendly and responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had. Would recommend them as your first choice when looking for an attorney.

John represented my son in a felony criminal case that went to a jury trial. He worked very diligently in this case. John was very professional and courteous in and out of the courtroom. In the end my son was found not guilty thanks to John DeGasperis.

I was referred to Basch and Keegan law firm by an employee in a store who saw me a week after a bad car accident. She said I looked a mess and should seek an attorney. She mentioned that she had been a claims adjuster and never wanted to go up against their firm. I originally had no intention of pursuit on this. Then, a friend specifically mentioned I meet with Attorney DeGasperis (John.) I have to say it was life changing, literally. The first thing he did after consulting with me, was to suggest a plan of action to organize my medical care. Believe me, this was not something I could have done or would have known how to do. My care was elevated due to his help.
As far as the actual case and settlement were concerned, he was thorough, caring, and informative. John continually educated me throughout the process, allowing me to make my own informed decisions every step of the way. He recognized my confidence in my claim and supported me; he saw my nervousness and timidity in the legal process and was able to give me what I needed to press on.
I also had the opportunity to meet with attorneys Eli Basch and Maureen Keegan. Although John had a much more comprehensive insight into my case, Eli and Maureen were more than capable, and I felt well represented by them as well. Eli has the uncanny ability to remember all our conversations even if i happened to stop in unannounced. Even Lori, who would always pick up the phone when I called, was familiar enough to remember me, assist me, and keep me at ease.
Forthcoming, sincere, and honest, my husband and I always felt that John had our best interests at the forefront. Calling John was the best decision financially, but most importantly, physically.

Just would like to say thank you to Basch and Keegan Law Office!
John DeGasperis you did an amazing job with our case and we can not thank you all enough. I will recommend your office to anyone that is in need of a injury or accident lawyer!
Thank you again!!!

Great attorneys, John has won my accident case with the largest possible payment and makes himself available and is everything I expect from an attorney. Eli's reputation is stellar. Can't go wrong. Five stars

When you get hurt you want the best.Your first mistake would be not to call Bash and Keegan because they truly are the very best in every way. Aside of Derek Spada’s intellect he is a wonderful person. He is graceful and powerful in the court room where everyone stands in amazement. They continued to get me more and more money over a 7 year period and counting with more on the way. All of the attorneys treated me like family which is very important when you are injured. Derek Spada has become my personal friend and holds a special place in my heart forever.

Love them

That moment when we thought everything was over and was thinking about going to someone else, here come John trust me he’s the best we have to give credit where it is due. My husband and I didn’t know who to turn to when Our son had an accident at a daycare in Kingston. Then one evening he came home with this guy name on a paper with his number, I said call him and he said naa.
I keeps pressuring him to call and boom he’s that lawyer who goes by the name JOHN at Basch & Keegan he’s a one in a million kind of guy.
Then I was also looking for someone to sign some documents for me I call everyone I know and no one wouldn’t all because they didn’t know me for a certain amount of years. And I call Basch & Keegan and again here comes John to my Rescue. Thank you John and keep doing what you do best....

Professional and responsive. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with John DeGasperis and Basch & Keegan.

The best thing is they get back to you and keep you up to date. If you have a question, they won't ignore you. Very professional and obviously, very successful in making clients happy. I was referred by a friend back in 2002 and would recommend them highly.

Thank you for everything you all have done to help my family over the years ! You go above and beyond to help with anything we needed .

Very open and honest, John was amazing throughout the process.

I needed advice. Although the case wasn't the right fit for this type of law firm, I was given very helpful advice, and it was absolutely free!

I was referred to John through a friend on a unique legal situation. John was very flexible around my work schedule and gave me time to discuss my case and provide me clear paths forward in a very professional manner. I was quite emotional due to the situation and John was able to very clearly explain all angles of the case that I was previously blind to in order to ensure that we were making the best decision given the situation. I would highly recommend John to others.

Had experience recently in a trial. John DeGasperis of Basch & Keegan of Kingston, NY was my Attorney. He was very dedicated and concerned with my case and my health. Second time using Basch & Keegan. First used in 2002-2003. They are very capable, honest and hard working for their clients. Would definitely use again.

Derek Spada - Rude

This is the first attorney to take on my case, after having called at least 10 firms before Basch and Keegan. I'm real hopeful for positive results for my claim.

The best!

Nothing like comfort and real coming out of this office thank you all ...Special thanks to John DeGasperis for over seeing and working through a “mess “ much appreciated ...

Mr Basch is a very nice gentleman, and lawyer, keeping your best interests at hand. Getting you what you desrrve, they strive for excellence

Great firm to work with, very knowledgeable and always well prepared,

When you have a legal question this firm consistently provides sound legal advice.

I am an attorney that has worked with John DeGasperis on a personal injury case. John was very knowledgeable of the facts and law, and helped get our mutual client, who was injured in a motorcycle accident, fair compensation for his medical bills and pain and suffering. The settlement was also reached quickly. I recommend his firm for anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer in New York.

As an attorney and friend I would highly recommend John DeGasperis in both aspects. The firm as a whole, are outstanding people, friendly and attentive while being completely fair and understanding. Meeting John has made me change my lifestyle, by showing me and teaching me there is a better way of life other than being a criminal.

When choosing a law firm Basch and Keegan is the ONLY way to go!

I had the pleasure of a consolation with Ms. Keegan. She was very helpful, although she could not take my case, she advised me and gave me the directions I so badly needed. A grate person.

I have worked with John DeGasperis multiple times now and would highly recommend him. The staff at Basch and Keegan were very attentive when it came to my companies legal needs!

I was injured in a MVA involving a police officer over 4 years ago. As a result I was badly injured, lost partial sight and had back and nerve damage. After losing my job and being declared disabled, I decided to seek out an attorney. John came highly recommended as a fierce trial lawyer that was willing to fight for their client. After my consultation, John was with me every step of the way and never let me feel like I was fighting this battle alone. He went above and beyond ALL expectations I had for an attorney. Anytime I needed anything John and his staff were there. They were willing to do everything they could to help make this difficult time in my life a little easier. I am extremely thankful for all of his hard work as well as his staff and family. I recommend Mr.Degasperis to anyone looking for a compassionate understanding attorney who is not afraid to fight for their clients, and to give them a piece of mind through a life altering event. Thank you John, everyone at Basch & Keegan, and the entire Degasperis family. I am truly blessed to have had you all on my side.

I would highly recommend this practice for anyone dealing with any sort of personal injury claim. My case was settled within six months of the accident that I was involved with. Everyone who works here is very friendly, helpful, and professional. I personally dealt with John DeGasperis and he was very vigilant and worked very hard towards my settlement. I went into the situation just expecting the bare minimum to get my lost wages covered while I was out of work, but he was able to get me a much higher settlement amount than I expected. I appreciate the folks that work at this law firm and would recommend them to anyone in their tough times.

Great Lawyers

Good lawyers

I am an attorney. I referred a case to B&K this past winter. My client and I met with Eli Basch, Esq. As a fellow personal injury attorney I found his handling of the intake of the case I had brought him to be both highly professional and also friendly. I believe that the client whom I referred will be well represented by Basch & Keegan. I have since met all of the attorneys at B&K, and they made me feel that they are genuinely hardworking and skilled while being as kind and helpful as they can be to me.

The case I brought was a difficult one, and will require the kind of hard work in developing it that only an experienced personal injury lawyer can deliver. Eli convinced me from the start that he knew all the wrinkles and knew just what needed to be done. I was very satisfied with bringing my client to the firm.
