Car Accident

"I was in a car accident and suffered injuries to my knee and neck as a result of the crash. I had lots of trouble trying to settle with the Insurance Company directly, so I decided to get in contact with a law firm. I previously had a bad experience with another attorney I hired. So I was a little ...apprehensive about seeking additional counsel. I had done lots of research, before meeting Attorney Tillman and was very straight forward and frustrated with the entire process prior to our meeting Attorney Tilman. He was very patient and allowed me to express my concerns. He reassured me that everything would be fine. I cannot describe how satisfied I am with the way he handled my case. I always received return phone calls and email messages, even on Saturdays! I never had to wonder about the progress of my case because I was provided regular updates. Ontario is a very professional young lawyer who is very honest and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, I was hospitalized as a result of my injuries he kept me positive during the most negative times of my life and was very thoughtful and caring contacting all my debtors so I could concentrate on getting treatment and healing. It turned out in the end that the amount requested was much higher than what was expected, so I cannot really ask for more! I highly recommend Attorney Tillman."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
