Heart of gold

You don't know what you have until it is gone. I was a regular hard working guy with a basic life. One day at work a accident that could have easily been avoided stripped me of everything. After 2 months and 4 reconstructive surgeries I had lost or sold any and everything I owned to attempt to keep a... roof over my sons head.I begged for welfare which is nothing anyone should ever have to bare.I figured all lawyers only care about your money but fortunately I proved myself wrong. From the first day I met John he started to help me manage to survive he was there every time I called even if it was for advice the man truly did everything in his power to help me get on my feet and survive. Which isn't easy when your permanently disabled.He is brutally honest even if it's not what you want to hear.This man takes his job seriously he let's you know your the boss he's there to help and he's extremely thorough at everything he does I must have called him a million times with tears in my eyes saying why me and please help me and he did rather it was a referral a friend to talk to or as my attorney he's always been there. I just resolved my case and I'm very happy to not only have my life back but I gained a good friend.

Evaluation of John Abeel

During the ordeal of my personal injury lawsuit there were many facets of the law I was very unaware of. I met John Abeel approximately one year into may case and he very simply and professionally explained what was going to take place. He met with me often and called me back promptly whenever I had ...questions. I believe that with the knowledge, confidence and experience he was able to reassure me that not only did he have concern for my case but that he was able to get me the best settlement. There were times that we spoke in person and I was in tears over the trauma I was experiencing but John's confidence and belief in me helped me cope with my pain and suffering. I truly believe that the Good Lord sent John my way as a legal professional and friend to give me confidence he would help me navigate things I did not know about and take care of every detail. Now at the end of my situation I will never be made whole physically, however by his efforts I have received the full insurance settlement. His advise was spot on in every area of personal injury law. He knows the law and I will never forget him for the friendship and help he has given me. I could not have asked for a better attorney that fights for what we deserve as injured persons. And just just remember it's not an accident, it's a crash and it's not your fault.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
