I was struck by a pickup truck in a pedestrian walkway. I hired Mr. Tidwell to take my liability case. He has been professional, and has kept me informed every step of the way. He is in the process of working on a settlement at this time.
"Jerry is a great litigator and willing to spend as much time as needed to properly and zealously defend his clients. I have worked with him and against him in litigation matters and have always been impressed with his work ethics and his personal responsibility."
"Jerry is a dedicated and thorough attorney who works hard for his clients. He has extensive experience in many areas of the law, one of which is family law. I endorse him fully."
