John B Mesirow

John is the best lawyer you can find for personal injuries in the DC area. If allowed, I want to give his office ten stars. Our family got a severe car accident in VA three years ago. It is the first time we have had this in our life. Firstly, one friend recommended a "famous" and giant lawyer's offi...ce in the DC area. After working with them for three months, they suddenly told us they couldn't work on our case anymore for an unknown reason. It was so ridiculous that I almost lost confidence in the lawyers. We had to find a new lawyer. I tried Avvo and fortunately found John. Since we were hurt so much by the giant lawyer's office, we were happy to find John's office, an expert on traffic accidents but not big. After the first talk with John, my wife and I decided that John was the one we should choose. He gave many advice and understandable instructions. Moreover, you can contact him very easily. I had to wait a week or longer to talk to the lawyer's assistant when we worked with that "famous" lawyer's office. He also knew many doctors to help you. When the specialist in our area couldn't help my wife, John introduced another good doctor to us so my wife could continue her treatment. In addition, unlike any lawyers I knew, John has a sense of justice. Last year, my wife was in another car accident. Our insurance made ridiculous decisions for us. We talked to John, and he was also angry with what the insurance did to us. He volunteered to write a letter to them and stated their mistakes. With the help of the letter, the insurance corrected their mistakes. John is also an expert in dealing with various insurance companies and is very persistent. The insurance company of the guys who hit us is a small and unprofessional business. They ignored calls from John. They tried to slow down the process purposely. John spent hours and days contacting them and even had to call people of different levels up to the president. They even put the wrong numbers in the final checks. Fortunately, we have John to help us. Otherwise, I can't imagine what would happen to us. With the hard work of John and his assistance, Ali, the compensation we got is more than we had expected. In addition, we feel secure when you have John with you during difficult times. John, Thank you again! I hope all the people having similar situations as we had can find John since he is the best you could get.

While on a bike I was hit by another cyclist, resulting in serious injuries. John secured an insurance settlement from the cyclist who hit me, covering expenses and damages. The experience working with John was good - clear communication, expectations and availability. Took about 8 months from me ...approaching him to the settlement.

We cannot recommend John Mesirow & Associates more highly. We were in a serious car accident and we contacted John the next day. He combined empathy and caring with professionalism. He took care of dealing with the health and car insurance companies and the other driver's lawyer and helped us through... the bureaucratic processes, while checking in to see how we were doing. This gave us the space to focus on recovering physically and emotionally from the accident. Through John's persistence, we received a positive settlement.

I came to Mesirow and Stravitz after being “doored” on my bicycle in DC in 2013. When the medical bills started rolling in, it was virtually impossible to reach the driver’s insurance company to claim compensation. This was my first time going through a claims/settlement process and John walked me th...rough everything with paramount clarity, transparency, and patience. John’s sincerity and unpretentious nature immediately put me at ease. Although my case wasn’t the most expensive, John and his team were incredibly responsive and attentive to my questions throughout the entire process. Finally, the insurance company low-balled the first offer and John was able to get them to nearly TWICE that amount. Highly recommend this firm- especially if you are new to this type of process and need someone you can trust.
