John took my auto accident case knowing it would be difficult and turned it around despite the constant hurdles. He poured through mountains of medical records, managed many witnesses through trial, and adeptly neutralized opposing counsel's expert. I was regularly updated on the status of the case. Legal strategies and requirements were explained to me in terms I could understand. My opinion was sought where appropriate and my feelings were respected at all times. I was very fortunate to have him on my side through an extremely traumatic time. Talk to John. You won't be disappointed.

Was very honest about the potential of my case, although it didn’t fall into his particular field of law he was kind enough to consult with me over the phone free of charge and help find me a referral, which I greatly appreciated.

I would highly highly recommend John and his team. I had previously hired a lawyer who had said he couldn't litigate the case and was going to settle. I was recommended to John and I cannot be more grateful for the recommendation. John took the case, was completely professional at the consultation and throughout, and within just a matter of a few months, he had settled the case for the maximum amount. John was willing to take this case to trial which just goes to show that he is very proficient in his field. He was helpful throughout the case, kept in contact with me on a weekly basis to see how I was doing. This wasn't about the money to John, he simply cared about my wellbeing. I would highly 100% recommend John to anyone. He is fantastic.

We hired John Rusk as our attorney after we were in a car accident. John helped us to understand the process. He was reliable and always professional. He took care of everything and we were very happy with him. If you are looking for a trustworthy and dependable attorney to help you navigate a situation that can be very overwhelming, look no further than John Rusk.

I was in a car accident that resulted in a brain injury. The first thing John did for me the day I hired him was to put me in touch with a neurologist and psychologist experienced with injuries like mine. The neurologist diagnosed the complex partial seizures that were impacting the problems I was having with my thinking, my ability to formulate sentences and my balance. The psychologist put me through extensive testing to diagnose the parts of my brain and thinking that were impacted by the brain injury. We began the relationship that started me on the road to recovery. John’s expertise in brain injury cases meant that he knew how to build a strong case on my behalf. He knows the kind of evidence needed and guided me through the steps I needed to take to get it. He was also caring and emphasized the importance of first and foremost doing what I needed to do to heal. His integrity and professionalism showed in every interaction. I trusted his guidance and I felt I had the best possible advocate. Those things helped ease the stress of a very difficult experience. One of the significant factors in my settlement was the specialized expertise of the well-respected doctors John introduced me to. They were able to review the results of the defense’s Independent medical examiners’ reports and detect the inconsistencies in their findings. I lost my job and John had me work with someone who specializes in calculating economic loss. He also interviewed colleagues and friends in order to build a team of witnesses who could clearly explain how I had changed since the accident. In our meetings John was always patient and respectful even though I had a very difficult time understanding what he was explaining to me and communicating back to him the information he needed from me. He ensured I was prepared for all the appointments and depositions I needed to attend. The case involved a large corporation and John expertly handled the big-city lawyers and mediation judge. I feel immensely fortunate that John was my attorney and was able to attain a settlement that allows me a quality of life that could have been lost. I will never be able to go back to my career as an industry- specialized executive, but I am able to live a simple life that fits within my new limitations. I am able to focus on things that help me continue to heal. If you have a brain injury John is the attorney you need.

Mr. Rusk was definitely the best thing that ever happened to me regarding my automobile accident! He was very knowledgeable and always made me feel like he had my best interest at heart. His expertise allowed me to receive the full amount of the insurance policy. He always worked so hard and kept me informed along the way. His caring and down-to-earth personality was the icing on the cake. I highly recommend him. You won't be disappointed.

John Rusk was the key to winning my case and saving me a lot of money. His research and dogged approach was unbelievable and I'm confident I wouldn't have had the same results with any other attorney. He's extremely knowledgeable and I have recommended him to several other people.

My wife and I found ourselves in unfamiliar territory after she was injured in an accident on the highway involving her little Corolla and an eighteen wheeler. We lost the vehicle and she had to go through medical treatment as well as physical therapy to deal with her pain. Although the accident was not her fault it still took some time before she gained confidence behind the wheel again. Our lives were changed and it was a hard road to recovery. A friend recommended John Rusk and I’m glad we met with him. He made sure the process was no more difficult than it had to be. From our first meeting, he was professional while also appearing to be sincere in his concern. The meetings after that just reaffirmed this first impression. He worked hard on our behalf. He was through and responsive, ensuring we understood the process during each step. The most important factor was how his competence allowed us to develop a level of trust with him. We can’t undo what has already been done and I wish no one would have to go through anything like that but if it happens, I would absolutely recommend John. My wife still goes for treatment regularly but we don’t have to worry about compromising that treatment in anyway. John got us the necessary compensation so we can have peace of mind knowing she will continue to get the help she needs. We are also able to replace the car. Sometimes people will feel guilt when they are in an accident even if it was through no fault of their own. If a loved one has been hurt and they are not taking the steps to secure their ability to care of themselves long term, they need our support, it’s up to us to help them. It is not an easy process. I am so grateful to have had John on our side fighting for us so that I could better focus on taking care of my wife and our family through this.
