I had the privilege and honor to be referred to Attorneys David Eder and Joel Sturm. I was involved in a five-vehicle accident and was rear ended by a commercial truck at about 50 mph after I had come to a complete stop. It took the truck driver over a year to accept liability. David Eder and Joel Sturm graciously took my case and jumped in even after two other lawyers didn’t think I needed their services for my personal injuries sustained. David Eder and his team (Ben Eder and Joel Sturm) prepared the case from day one as though we were going to trial. They are very efficient, assertive, and responsive even before and after business hours. They really fight for your rights, and they make sure that you do not lose even one penny for your pain and suffering. I am pleased and feel very blessed with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend David Eder and his team. I would have not been able to win or get the desired outcome without their assistance. I will be eternally grateful for their service and representation!
After I was in an auto accident I reached out to a friend that was a police officer. The officer stated that I should call Thuemmel Uhle & Eder. At the start of the case, the insurance company was trying to put fault on me, and I had a complicated case. David, Ben and Joel worked tirelessly to prove the insurance company wrong. They got the insurance company to accept 100% responsibility, answered all my calls, and completely protected me in negotiating a very favorable settlement. I wish I would have called them earlier. They completely turned my case around, took away the stress, and got me far more money than I would have imagined for my injuries. These are true professionals!
Joel took my case after my son and I being rear ended. Every step of the way he kept me informed on all matters involving my case including numbers toward the end. Joel and Dave are both noble and honest, and now have built this same rapport with my family and friends. I truly say thank you for being genuine, and proactive in my case in getting me the best care for myself and my son. Thank you
Joel helped us after a very freak car accident that was not our fault. We have never needed the services of a lawyer before and did not know where to start. Joel came very highly recommended to us from another lawyer who said Joel had experience in the type of situation we were in. From the time that Joel began working with us he explained everything in a manner that we were able to understand, guided us through the process and was able to get us a much larger settlement than we could have ever expected. We appreciate everything Joel did for us and if we are in need of legal assistance again, we will hire Joel. We highly recommend his services! Thanks Joel!
My brother and I were riding in a Lyft when our car was hit by a tow truck. We needed help navigating insurance, medical coverage and medical care. We were in pain, we needed help and Joel was our answer. We are so thankful we found an attorney like Joel Sturm. He came highly recommended by a friend. We knew immediately he was on our side when we had our initial meeting. Since then, he fought for us every step of the way and was able to get us a great return on our case even though we were dealing with companies that didn’t want listen or care to pay a dime. You need someone in your corner like Joel if your case is big or small. He was kind, attentive and direct. We would have been in huge trouble with the amount of medical charges owing on our case. Joel explained every part of the process and made sure all our medical charges were taken care of. We can’t tell you what comfort it was to know he was on our team, and relief that he took on this burden for us. Don’t wait to give Joel a call on your injury claim and get the help you might not even realize you need. You will be so happy you did!
David, Ben and Joel are the BEST. No lawyer will work this hard and fight this much for you. Two years ago I was rear ended by an uninsured drunk driver. A family friend I trust suggested I immediately call a lawyer and highly recommended David Eder. I am so blessed to have had David and his team advocating for me and being right there with me for every step of this process. Insurance companies (even your own)are not on your side. A good lawyer, like David, is necessary to get all the care you need paid for, including compensation for future care. David and team really care and work harder than I can imagine any lawyer working on a case. They went to doctors appointments with me to be my advocate and make sure I was being taken care of and all of my questions to the doctors were answered. They called medical providers and collection agencies when I was being swamped with bills from the accident. Ben worked with me over a weekend for a second round of deposition prep. I could tell they were all incredibly skillful at their jobs from the start of the case to the end. They were ALWAYS there to answer any questions I had or just to listen to my concerns and frustration. When you hire David and his team, TRUST THEM. This was a very difficult process for me at times emotionally. Sometimes, I just wanted to give up. David talked me through it and I trusted him. Had I given up, I would have gotten maybe half the money and I would not be set up to afford any future care I need related to the accident. They got me the maximum amount! I couldn’t be happier. I cannot recommend David, Ben and Joel enough!
“Joel Sturm was outstanding in handling my cases! Joel is very professional and never let up in compelling the insurance companies involved to pay out the largest possible awards. I was in multiple car crashes, and my own insurance company refused to pay for my medical charges, and Joel took over from an attorney who was not handling my cases properly. Joel was very proactive and explained the process along the way, at every step, in a way that made it easy for anyone to understand. He made sure all my medical bills were paid, and he held the insurance companies accountable. Joel kept in regular communication, so I felt comfortable that my case was always on track, and Joel’s compassion made me realize I had another champion in my corner. If you are in a crash or get injured, I recommend calling Joel right away!
I was fortunate to be represented by Joel Sturm. From our initial meeting and throughout the process, he remained very positive and reassuring. Joel explained every step and the options. I appreciate his calm demeanor, his vast knowledge of the insurance industry from previous work and his strong legal mind. A bonus is his equally-talented partners, David and Ben Eder. They all worked together to deliver a positive outcome. They sought the expertise of medical professionals to substantiate my case. Although we ended up in arbitration, Joel’s witnesses and his impressive presentation were excellent. I am blown away by his incredible work on my behalf. I highly recommend Joel Sturm and the firm of Thuemmel Uhle and Eder!
Joel was very compassionate and understanding every step of the way. He listened and did everything in his power to make sure my concerns were addressed. Joel and their firm represented me extremely well. He did a great job of also explaining things when I was unsure of the choices. Highly recommend! Thank you for your kindness and seeing it through to the end.
I am overjoyed with the resolution of my case. Joel Sturm went above and beyond to make sure I was compensated fairly. Ben and David Eder also worked on my case, and all of them worked hard to make sure I was well represented. I honestly didn’t think I’d see a cent coming to me, so I am more than happy that I got compensated so well. Throughout the whole process, Joel was there to help me understand every legal nuance and no matter what the other side threw at him, he was able to negotiate around it. I also learned a bit about jurisprudence during the time it took to mediate the agreement! To reiterate, Joel, Ben and David did an absolutely excellent job representing me and I highly recommend them to others looking to receive a fair settlement.
