The lawyer you pick does make a difference!

I was injured in a car accident in Indiana and suffered a concussion. The first lawyer I hired got a top offer of only $3000. I knew that this was not fair and switched to Don Wruck at Wruck Paupore, who was referred by a friend. Don knew how to handle a concussion case and how to deal with an... insurance company that was being unreasonable. In January 2019, my case was settled for just under $1 million, and now no longer have to worry about my future. Wruck Paupore made all of the difference. Thank you, thank you!!

Extremely Satisfied!

Attorney Wruck did an amazing job in settling my personal injury case. His knowledge and experience specific to semi truck accidents made all of the difference in the outcome of my case; the settlement exceeded my expectations! The staff at his firm was helpful, responsive and caring during a difficu...lt time following a life-altering experience. I highly recommend Attorney Wruck and his firm.

Knowledgeable, patient and caring!

After my car accident, I was inundated with marketing from personal injury attorneys. It was obvious that most of them were "ambulance chasers". But the information I received from Wruck Paupore PC was different. It instantly answered a lot of my questions plus questions I didn't think to ask. During... the first call, after asking about my injuries and being shocked that my family doctor did not send me to any specialists, Mr. Wruck told me what I needed to do. He did not care if I went to another attorney, he only cared about my health. I am so glad I listened. I was hit by a government vehicle and suing the government is a frustrating process. Throughout my case Mr. Wruck and his staff have been knowledgeable, patient and extremely caring. Because of Mr. Wruck's knowledge of Indiana laws on suing the government, my medical bills are paid and I still have money in the bank.

Fantastic firm in a difficult situation

My wife was struck by a semi on I-65. The other insurncae compny tried to blame her, claiming that she stopped suddenly. She spent 3 weeks in the hospital and we had more than $100k in bills. I was going to lose my job. We hired Wruck Paupore and from that moment, the only thing we had to do was ...get my wife better. Their staff took care of everything. All of the bills have been paid and she has money for care she needs for the rest of her life. I cannot say enough about how this firm is built from top to bottom to handle large dollar injury cases. Thank you.

Wruck Paupore did more than they promised, and did all of the work.

i used wruck paupore for my car accident after getting tons of letters in the mail for lawyers. He helped me and asured me that everything would be ok. I was worried about bill and dealing with insurance people. They did everything...everything while i recovered. They were not concerned about ear...ning money but about helping me and my husband.

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.
