Jake was there by my side through a very long case,with alot of medical procedures along the way. Jake always checked on my status and was great throughout the whole experience! I would recommend him to anyone I know!

Jake used Workers Compensation reports and medical records to secure my employment, maintain my salary, and ensure I received all of my benefits.My health and recovery ,along with current or future disability issues or limitations were his focus from the initial consultation to the conclusion of my case.

Jake was very knowledgeable and dedicated in helping me to recover lost wages and payment of medical bills. His expertise in the Social Security Disability and Medicare set-aside accounts also helped me obtain future medical expenses. I know I wouldn’t have gotten the settlement I did, without Jake’s experience in going up against large corporations.

Jake was hired and he explained to me what to expect. He is very direct. He knows his business and wants to do the work for you with minimal questions. Jake does a great job, you can trust he has your best interest in mind.

Jake was very honest and forthcoming from the very beginning of our interactions. He never failed to offer me his honest opinion throughout the entire process. I had some reservations as this was my first experience with an attorney. He answered all of my questions he could, and if he didn't have the answer, he looked for it. I would give him 10 stars if I could. He went above and beyond my expectations. Thanks, Jake!

I would recommend Jake to any friend or family member ever having to deal with a car accident case. He always kept in touch with me to let me know what was going on and I greatly appreciated that. He did a wonderful job and I’m very satisfied with the outcome of my case.

From day one, Jake was up front and honest with me about my case. He answers his emails within hours and gives out both his desk and cell phone number. He fights hard and doesn’t take no for an answer. It was a tough case, but he got the job done, exceeded expectations and walked away with a WIN!
