Medical Insurance Settlement

John, was as good as could possibly be from start to finish with my claim against the tractor trailer that crashed into my car. I had a severe concussion, requiring months of PT. But I am not a surgical candidate & have to live with neck/shoulder issues. John was able to get their insurance compan...y to double the offer, which matched the very high end of what we thought we might get. Every step of the way John & his team explained the process & clearly he's as knowledgeable & as experienced as you would want. I would recommend John without any hesitation!

Blue Collar Worker.

I was hit by a drunk driver causing rear damage to my vehicle. It was very overwhelming and a very scary experience. I received legal representation from John W. Hollowell and have been very pleased with my experience. As I recouped from the accident, John W. Hollawell handled everything else - inc...luding the insurance companies, legal issues, doctors, bills....everything. John W. Hollawell handles all of my issues and is my liaison in all correspondence with outside entities, John W. Hollawell always responds promptly to my phone calls and emails and gives me solid advice on what to do next as my case moves forward. I have been more than pleased on my decision to seek legal counsel. I don't know how I would have done it without him. I would definitely recommend the John W Hollawell Law Firm for anyone who wants to be treated with respect and have peace of mind knowing, they hired a professional experience attorney that knows his way around the courts legal maze. Thank You John W. Hollawell so much for all you have done!! Best Regards, Rafael

Personal Injury/Auto Accident

About two years ago I was involved in an auto accident when a car ran a red light, t-boned me, and pushed my car across the intersection and into a utility pole. I sustained multiple injuries, including broken ribs, a damaged knee, and a severely fractured hip. My injuries, especially the hip, wil...l be troublesome for the rest of my life according to the diagnosis of several physicians at Orthopedic Associates of Allentown and the Rothman Institute in Philadelphia. Attorney Hollawell accepted my case, advised me to pursue settlement from the insurance company, and encouraged me to see the specialists at the Rothman Institute for an additional opinion. Reluctant at first, but upon John's urging, I made the trip to Philadelphia. John reassured me that pursuing an equitable and reasonable settlement was totally justified. Over the two years, he never gave up. He was persistent, diligent, and attentive relative to my case. He systematically and methodically reviewed the reports and sought independent analyses of my x-rays, CT scans, and MRI's. He was constantly in contact with me on a regular basis, providing me with progress reports. His steadfast and untiring pursuit to acquire a fair settlement was finally successful, and I am incredibly satisfied with the final outcome. I would highly recommend John Hollawell to anyone needing a personal injury attorney!
