Best of the Best

I had absolutely no idea what to do moving forward after I had just totaled my brand new Dodge Charger. I was in the hospital in immense amount of pain when I reached out to a criminal lawyer I had known for many years ago in what I should do. He Immediately had me call Frank Jones office. Frank and ...his wife Michelle had me in to their office as soon as I was healed up enough to sit comfortably and explain the situation. Their first priority was to get me the best treatment available to help with my pain. They referred me to one of the best physical therapist in the surrounding area. Every time I made contact with them their main concern was how I was feeling. Once I was finally beginning to feel better they dove head in on the case making sure my PIP coverage covered all of my medical expenses. They made sure I was properly compensated for all the pain and suffering I had endured due to my accident. Always kept me informed throughout the whole process. Not once did I ever feel they didn't have my best interest at heart and were always in my corner making sure everything went smoothly and as fast as possible. Extremely personal people while extremely professional. No matter what time of day it was I had their personal phone numbers to reach out. I will be referring anyone I know especially friends or family if they find themselves in a similar situation that I was in. Seriously if you want a top notch team of attorneys who will do everything In their power to make sure you are seeing the best medical teams in the area and getting you every penny you deserve call Frank Jones and team. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The best experience

Myself and my fiancé were referred to Mr. Frank and his team after a horrible car accident. As soon as we contacted the firm, his wife, Michelle, got right to work and got the ball rolling on our case. I have had nothing but a great experience with Michelle and the firm as a whole. She keeps us up to... date on everything that is going on, if we have any questions, doesn’t hesitate to answer them fully, and has gotten us and still working on what is rightfully owed to us. I would recommend to anyone to give Michelle, Frank and their team a call and they will definitely take care of you!
