To the editor:

Staying abreast of the recent railroad tragedy and knowing some of the citizens affected in East Palestine, I recently read in “The Review” about the legal clinic held by the River Valley Organizing, Timothea Deeter, to assist residents.

It was rightfully stated, “Residents have been leery of legal talks as law firms descended on East Palestine and bombarded social media with posts pitching their services.” It continued, “Residents didn’t know who was trustworthy.” The article closed with Deeter stating, “It’s up to each resident to decide what the best option is for them.”

This immediately reminded me about the May article in “The Review” stating U.S. Judge Benita Pearson appointed Wellsville attorney Nick Amato and his firm to serve as the community liaison about the derailment aftermath.

Attorney Amato and his firm have been serving our residents for thirty years in Columbiana County and he can be contacted at 724-777-5240 or 330-542-9500. Residents confused and overwhelmed by mega law firms or seek more information on any lawsuit can contact Attorney Amato. I, for one, can personally vouch for his caring, compassion and, most of all, integrity.
