ABOVE AND BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS

) I was very seriously injured in a car wreck resulting in multiple medical procedures. I hired JACKEL & PHILLIPS after researching the firm and meeting their "team" to discuss my case. Both Dana and Chris are excellent attorneys who really know the law and how to manage a lawsuit. They aggressively pursued my case, kept me informed along the way and obtained a fantastic settlement, despite the insurance company fighting who was responsible for the wreck! I would highly recommend these attorneys for your personal injury case!

Dedicated Attorney and Great Service

From the first time I spoke with Chris and Dana (which was back in 2011) all the way up to my settlement today , they have been tenacious and considerate, even when I was admittedly not the ideal client. I hired Jackel and Phillips to represent my 5 year old son who was seriously injured in a horrible and freak accident. These attorneys were very persistent and organized! They refused to accept the "run around" from ANYONE! I trust them %100. They informed me about EVERYTHING, even if I did not ask. Both Dana and Chris were very easy to contact. On the rare occasion that I had to leave him a message, they would return my call the same day. As far as the case goes, I am more than pleased. They got my son WAY more than I ever thought possible and structured the settlement for maximum returns in the future. They handled everything with genuine care and concern. The whole team at Jackel and Phillips is absolutely THE BEST there is!!!...
