Knowledgable, Trustworthy, Gets the Job Done

I hired Jonathan to represent me in a auto vs pedestrian case. It was clear from the outset he knew the law and the system - I was confident in him from the beginning and throughout the process. He took great interest in my case, treating my family and I like people and not just clients. I especially appreciated how he kept me up to date, explained things with patience, and answered my questions quickly. Over time what became clear as well, he has the respect of the legal community here in West Michigan. He's cultivated relationships with many of them, which affords him the ability to truly advocate for his clients. I sincerely hope I will never need legal services of this kind again, but if I do, I'll be calling Jonathan without hesitation. I will recommend him to others as well.

Excellent Personal Injury Attorney

I send most of my clients with personal injury concerns to Jon. He is an excellent attorney. Always response and I've even litigated against him in defense of a personal injury action so I've seen him in practice. He is highly recommended.

Car truck accident

We had excellent results. Jon went over and above for our settlement. We were kept up to date and any questions we asked were promptly answered. We want to extend our thanks to all the staff. Susan was very helpful. She always got back with us when the question we had for Jon was explained.

Jonathan Jilek is compassionate and thorough

I worked with Jonathan on a dog attack case. Jon was thorough, fair, and balanced. He worked tirelessly with the opposing counsel to come up with a fair reasonable settlement. He is reliable and very responsive to clients. I would highly recommend Jon!

Truck versus bike

Jon was hired to represent me in a auto vs bicycle case. I appreciated his “no nonsense” approach and was confident he had the skills/abilities to competently represent me from the first meeting with him. I especially appreciated how he kept me up to date and patiently and thoroughly answered any questions whenever I had them. I greatly valued and respected his advocacy for me when I was faced with insurance payment issues related to my injuries and who (primary vs. secondary coverage) was responsible for payment. It is stressful to have life altering injuries but helpful knowing Jon was on my team to address challenges. This became especially important due to the time consuming nature of navigating the legal system when situations like mine happen. I recommend Jon and his team and would not hesitate to hire him again in the future if I needed his services.

Outstanding Experience

Jon was aggressive but professional. He listened well, gave good counsel, was respectful of both sides in the case and pushed hard for a positive outcome. He kept me updated on where things were at and made me aware of all possible outcomes and what to expect each step of the way. I've never needed a lawyer and hope to never need it again in the future, but if I do, I'd go back and use Jon's services & expertise again in a heartbeat.

Motorcycle hit by auto

Auto impacted my motorcycle. 4 days in hospital plus 2 month recovery to 90% of previous good health. Jon knows the system and negotiated it effectively on my behalf. Key point: I would seek his council in future if situation for such arose.

motorcycle accident

My wife and I were involved in a hit and run motorcycle accident and a friend recommended Jon Jilek. He visited us in the hospital and explained everything to us. We hired him and he went to work on our behalf. Ours was a very difficult case. He worked very hard dealing with many different people and insurance companies to get to the truth and get the resolution we needed. We are happy with the results from this case. I don't think your average attorney would be able to or take the time to navigate their way through this extremely complicated case. We would like to thank Jon and his entire staff for their hard work. We do highly recommend him .

A Consummate Professional

Jon helped me during one of the most difficult times I've ever experienced. I was hit by a car while crossing the street. I found myself unable to work and my wife and I were terrified. As soon as we began working with Jon, we started to feel much better about everything. His clear communication, unwavering professionalism, and rock-solid confidence convinced us from day one that we had the best help available. Jon obtained me the maximum settlement available for my circumstances. Instead of struggling through financial despair, we have been able to repair and improve our situation as I continue to rehabilitate and we move confidently into our future. I would strongly recommend Jon to anyone looking to engage legal counsel or assistance. Jon, we will always be more grateful to you than we could ever say. THANK YOU!!!

Dog Bite Case

Mr. Jilek was extremely professional and helpful during the entire process of my case. He informed me of my options and goes the extra mile to ensure the best possible outcome for his clients. I would definitely recommend Mr. Jilek to all my friends and acquaintances for all their legal needs and support.

Dog Bite

Jon was absolutely amazing dealing with my case. I was extremely nervous going into it, but he really put my mind at ease and made everything very easy for me. More importantly, when it came time for my son to go under oath and talk to the judge about what happened, he made him feel comfortable and talked very kindly to him and in a way a 6 year old could understand. He kept me in the loop about everything and I am grateful for everything he did for my son and I!

Car Accident 2011

I would have been lost without John, the average person has no idea what they are entitled to with no fault insurance. The war between my auto and medical company would have swallowed me whole. I can't thank him enough for all his help and direction!

Our situation is complicated and involves multiple legal issues.

We appreciate Jon's ability to be straight forward and direct while maintaining a professional relationship. In addition to our relationsihp with Jon, we are extrememly impressed with the kowledge and responsiveness of the support staff. Any time we have a question or require information, we are encoureaged to contact Koning and Jilek. Everyone is incredibly responsive and friendly. We appreciate Jon and the team at Koning and Jilek .
