Stephen Segar

I was involved in car accident that left me injured & unsure of what legal actions needed to be taken next. I was then recommended to Stephen Segar, and there is nothing but positives to say about him and Virginia Jonas. From day one their team was very caring and knowledge on the situation and took ...my worries away from the very first meeting! Their legal representation allowed me time to heal from injuries without having to worry about the legal side of things & I really appreciated that. They always kept me informed on the things that were going on with the case and if I ever had any questions they were answered with a simple phone call or e-mail. I would recommend Stephen Segar and Virginia Jonas to anyone with an injury that needs legal representation

Stephen Segar

I worked with Mr. Segar and Ms. Jonas on a worker’s compensation matter. They were professional, responsive and highly knowledgeable. In fact, I met directly with Mr. Segar for my initial discussion. He never made me feel rushed. I asked many questions and they always responded in a timely manner. I ...would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for assistance with worker’s compensation.

Absolutely the BEST

We have used Stephen as our attorney since 2008 for a workers compensation accident. Since then I have had multiple reasons to continue his services. He went above and beyond to explain everything to my wife and I and always got back to us promptly (even at times later in the evening and weekends). ...He always made us feel comfortable and he was very knowledgeable with the Workers Comp system. The staff that works for him in particular Virginia, are also top notch. Through the years we not only consider him an excellent attorney but also a friend.

Stephen a seager

Stephen seager took my injury and workers comp case. He was concise in explaining the details of the legal system. He walked me through my case. No one should try to navigate workers comp, or a personal injury case without representation. Mr seager is an outstanding lawyer, with an excellent assista...nt virginia is a gem. I would recommend him very highly, he can be trusted.

I Highly Recommend Stephen Anderson Segar

Steve Segar and his entire firm did a tremendous job of handling my accident case. Not having any knowledge about the entire process after being severely injured and losing my hearing in my right ear in a car crash from an individual who rear ended me going over 45 mph due to him being on his cell p...hone. It still impacts me today as I continue to deal with the injury. But I needed assistance with the medical bills and loss of work that came with my accident. Steve and his firm understood that my injury has impacted my life and my day to day activity and that I had to make sure that we were able to get some relief for the entire dilemma that fell upon me and my family as a result of this individual. Over the course of the last several years Steve and his firm had constant communication with me, genuine concern for my health, and continuously making sure that I had the proper medical treatment throughout this time. They stood by my side and still continue to as I continue to learn the road that I have been down and continue to go down due to an injury that I did not give to myself but a careless driver did to me. Steve and his Firm are extremely knowledgeable and get out in front at every point to protect and take care of my well being and I appreciated that so much as I ventured down this path. I highly recommend Steve Segar and his firm to be there for you every step of the way, as he was for me and continues to be.
