I hired Jonathan to represent me in a auto vs pedestrian case. It was clear from the outset he knew the law and the system - I was confident in him from the beginning and throughout the process. He took great interest in my case, treating my family and I like people and not just clients. I especially appreciated how he kept me up to date, explained things with patience, and answered my questions quickly. Over time what became clear as well, he has the respect of the legal community here in West Michigan. He's cultivated relationships with many of them, which affords him the ability to truly advocate for his clients. I sincerely hope I will never need legal services of this kind again, but if I do, I'll be calling Jonathan without hesitation. I will recommend him to others as well.

I send most of my clients with personal injury concerns to Jon. He is an excellent attorney. Always response and I've even litigated against him in defense of a personal injury action so I've seen him in practice. He is highly recommended.

Jon was aggressive but professional. He listened well, gave good counsel, was respectful of both sides in the case and pushed hard for a positive outcome. He kept me updated on where things were at and made me aware of all possible outcomes and what to expect each step of the way. I've never needed a lawyer and hope to never need it again in the future, but if I do, I'd go back and use Jon's services & expertise again in a heartbeat.

Auto impacted my motorcycle. 4 days in hospital plus 2 month recovery to 90% of previous good health. Jon knows the system and negotiated it effectively on my behalf. Key point: I would seek his council in future if situation for such arose.

My wife and I were involved in a hit and run motorcycle accident and a friend recommended Jon Jilek. He visited us in the hospital and explained everything to us. We hired him and he went to work on our behalf. Ours was a very difficult case. He worked very hard dealing with many different people and insurance companies to get to the truth and get the resolution we needed. We are happy with the results from this case. I don't think your average attorney would be able to or take the time to navigate their way through this extremely complicated case. We would like to thank Jon and his entire staff for their hard work. We do highly recommend him .

Jon helped me during one of the most difficult times I've ever experienced. I was hit by a car while crossing the street. I found myself unable to work and my wife and I were terrified. As soon as we began working with Jon, we started to feel much better about everything. His clear communication, unwavering professionalism, and rock-solid confidence convinced us from day one that we had the best help available. Jon obtained me the maximum settlement available for my circumstances. Instead of struggling through financial despair, we have been able to repair and improve our situation as I continue to rehabilitate and we move confidently into our future. I would strongly recommend Jon to anyone looking to engage legal counsel or assistance. Jon, we will always be more grateful to you than we could ever say. THANK YOU!!!
