Personal Injury Case from Auto Accident

When my husband and I met with Mr. Pilka, we noticed he was very well informed at legal matters and was very knowledgeable. We have had a good experience with him and his team, and he's always presented professionally and with kindness and compassion towards our needs. He has represented us for our p...ersonal injury case with an auto accident and has worked closely with other members of his team to ensure we were informed and felt supported during a time when we were recovering from injuries. Thanks to their expertise, our case had a very favorable outcome. We are grateful for his hard work and trust him to represent our family and would recommend him to anyone with a legal need.

Personal Injury Case from Auto Accident

Mr. Pilka is a very knowledgeable and experienced professional that ensured my wife and daughter received the representation that we needed during our personal injury case with an auto accident. Although our main interaction was with Mr. Adams, we are grateful for the attention and support that Mr. P...ilka, Mr. Adams, and Robin provided for all of us as we were recovering from the accident. I would recommend him again for legal services and would hire him again.

Pay close attention to his Billings

I hired Attorney Daniel Pilka to represent me in a lawsuit filed against me for HOA Attorney fees. I told Attorney Pilka since day 1, that I have limited resources, as a homeowner. Each month, Mr. Pilka send me billings that show excessive phone calls, that he says he made to the Plaintiff and the ...other defendant's attorneys. Mind you there was practically no activity on the case for the entire year I retained his services. I send him emails telling not to waste my resources on phone calls. In frustration, I terminated his services after I exhausted $4300+ and he informed me that he couldn't guarantee me a win unless I pay him more resourses$$. As it turns out, after I terminated Attorney Pilka, he sent me an email advising me that during his Motion to terminate as my Attorney, the judge advised that I was not at fault, and did not owe the Plaintiff any attorney fees as they claimed. Attorney Pilka is very knowledgeable in HOA matters, but I wouldn't recommend him to individual homeowners who have limited resources, as his billings are extremely high, he would be a better fit with a Community Association.
