John S. Kalil

Mr. Kalil handled my auto accident involving me and my daughter when this guy rear ended us at a red light without braking at all. I am glad I hired Mr. Kalil because the insurance company at first refused to pay for my medical bills and Mr. Kalil worked hard to change that. I wasn't trying to get ri...ch, but my back injury was serious. My daughter had a concussion and other injuries. Mr. Kalil did an excellent job of getting the insurance company to pay the policy limits for both my injured daughter and myself. I would definitely hire him again.

When I think of the reasons that I would hire a lawyer there are many important factors that need to be weighed in that decision. The most important inquiry is the quality of representation that will be achieved by hiring this specific attorney because they are likely making life and death decisions ...for me. If not life or death, then hugely financial desicions. So, I want a lawyer who cares about me, who cares about me more than most lawyers care about their: mere "clients", mere "files", or mere "case numbers." I want my attorney to care about people and care about me as an individual person, a human being, a person who is relying completely on this attorney and trusting them with important life decisions. As you can see, I put my feeling and beliefs on the table but, I try to think before I make important decisions. The reality is this... Mr. Kalil, and his firm are able to provide you with some of the best legal representation in the city of Jacksonville and beyond. My case was extremely complicated and most attorneys did not want to take a look at it or were going to try to take too much money from my case upfront. So, I shopped around like any diligent person would. The main motivation behind the shopping around was not just about money it was more important that that. It was about finding attorneys who knew what they were doing, had been practicing mainly in the area that I needed help with, and attorneys who actually cared about me as a person. This unique, high customer satisfaction lawyer experience is what I found in the law office of John. S Kalil. I would highly recommend that if you are ever hurt by a product, a company, or someone's careless or recklessness behavior to seek this firm out. If someone physically hits you or a loved one they will stand up for you. In addition, they take on cases compliacted cases like class actions or tragic deaths, brutal car accidents, medical malpractice, and if they can not help with your specific case then they always know good, reliable, trustworthy lawyers that they can and will refer you to. They usually will give you several options because they understand that we as Americans like to have options and weight these options against one another and see what is the best decisions possible. Do not hesitate and at a bare minimum set up an appointment with them and I guarantee you, you will love meeting John and Michael. (The attorneys that work together) I have no doubt that you will not regret it. I absolutely did not. My case, brought close to $750,000 when they were only offering me $40,000 (this was just a greedy insurance company trying to take advantage of me.) But, Mr. Kalil's firm stood up for me and fought the good fight. The important thing is that this would not have happened without great representation and the best part about it is that they made feel like I was someone they truly cared about through the whole process. You really can't ask for much more than that... GREAT LAWYERS, GREAT PEOPLE, TRUSTWORTHY, HARD WORKINGS, AND ALWAYS WANT TO SEE RESULTS THAT HELP THE CLIENT.

I give Mr. Kalil and his office the highest of recommendations! They have been a blessing in my life. My case took 6 years from start to finish. I was the rare type of case that actually goes to court. Mr. Kalil counseled me from beginning to end with my best interest at mind. There were many things ...that I did not and could not understand but he has proven in more than a decade's worth of mentoring me that he is a trustworthy man. He is a top notch lawyer, who is honest and hard working. He will tell you the best legal advice possible giving you different routes which the law permits. He will call you as the case progresses, this does not mean every day. It is important to understand that things in the legal system take time. However, he is not a legal mill. He takes the personal care a client deserves and represent your case all they way to court which few law firms will do. Sometimes it is necessary to take a case to court because the insurance company of the other party or their representative is being greedy and does not want to make a reasonable offer for the injuries of the individual. This is the type of firm that you want handling all of your claims! Mr. Kalil fights for the legal rights of an individual against the corporations, insurance companies and "little persons bully" and without lawyers like him simple people like me would of never had an opportunity or the funding to fight the legal battle.

After having my vehicle totaled in an auto accident and sustaining neck injuries (never having had any other injuries), I decided to consult an attorney. Mr Kalil, at first meeting was very personable and appeared to bring his A game to the table. After well over a year and not even an offer on the... table, he talked me into filing a lawsuit, in which I was not comfortable. I asked him to pull my medical records to show the adjuster that I had never had any injuries, not even illnesses, but he never did. Response from the office staff was little to none. The case would sit for months until I would call to inquire, then they would shuffle paperwork, have me sign a paper or two and again no word for months. Finally after two years, I was fed up and tired of going to the pill pushing doctor that he insisted I see, not my personal choice......I finally gave up and told him to take whatever they offered. After settling very low, they held back funds in case my personal health insurance had a claim, which they do not. They tell me weekly that they haven't heard anything, this has gone on for months. A friend had a very similar experience, except they did not hold funds to pay her health insurance, even though she used her personal insurance and it is the same as mine. If you want quality do not use Mr. Kalil.
