Not your average lawyer, he saved my family and I from certain peril.
I had no respect for lawyers until I was referred to Jeff Block. He won a settlement for me and my family that saved us from financial ruin. I was in a car accident that injured me for life. No longer able to work as a carpenter or a teacher I still needed to support my family ( a wife, and 5 children) and was sick with worry how that would be accomplished. It took over 5 years but worth the wait. The court awarded me with a settlement over 1 million dollars. It was enough for me to continue running a household and raise my 5 kids. He also helped me find terrific doctors and even an estate planner.
Mr. Block and his team are true professionals. They really care about the people they represent. Great knowledge and experience that guided me through tough times. Mr. Block will leave no stone unturned and will help you in every way possible. Thanks again Jeff.

If you are injured and you need someone to fight for you - Call Jeffey!!!
I had a bad injury to my ankle and was initially with another lawyer, block o'toole & murphy was hired about 2 years into my case. From the moment this firm was hired I walked into their offices and I could feel the true compassion and care. I also knew they would fight for me - Jeffrey Block completely exceeded my expectations as a lawyer, not only did he continuously check in with me throughout my many surgeries but he also took the time to give me good advise and even told me to get other opinions about my care. Jeffrey would not do what is ideally good for the firm, he does what was good for me and he will do what is good for you!! I was very happy with the results of my case, thank you so much Jeffrey!!
