I was t-boned by another car and suffered a serious concussion. John was able to get the insurance company to pay their full policy limits of $100,000 for my injuries. You can’t do better than John. So thankful to him!
John was an amazing help during an otherwise stressful time after my car accident. He was also very responsive, explained everything thoroughly, and very friendly. You can’t go wrong!
John Risvold was our attorney when my young daughter was injured at her school. Her injury was pretty serious and required surgery. My husband and I were scared and really didn't know what to do. Obviously, we didn't feel comfortable sending her back to this school where she was not appropriately supervised. Additionally, the school refused to accept any responsibility, saying that it was just a common accident that could happen to anyone. My husband and I felt otherwise, and reached out to John Risvold for advice and consultation. John was literally with us through this entire process--from going through the surgery, discussions with the school and their attorneys and up to the final settlement agreement. To make matters more complicated, we had a tuition contract with the school and they initially refused to let us out of the contract. It was a very stressful experience and John made things so much easier and made us feel like someone had our backs, so to speak. My husband and I highly recommend John Risvold as a personal injury attorney. He is caring, compassionate, and an excellent attorney.
