Came through for us during a difficult time!

My wife was in a car accident in Council Bluffs. It was a serious car accident where a lives were lost. Thankfully she was in the backseat with her seat belt fastened so her injurious weren't as serious as the other passengers. The first law firm we contacted came to visit us in the hospital. This, w...e thought, was a kind gesture. Rather than comforting us however, the lawyer gave us a bleak outlook and pressured us to sign an agreement right then and there! We did not have health insurance at the time so the honesty was appropriate but the timing was horrific. Thankfully we decided to wait to sign the contract. A friend told me about Kris Madison at Stuart Tinley Law Firm LLP. When I called Kris a few days latter (didn't reach him) and he called me back, first thing he asked was how we were doing. Corny I know, but that meant a lot at the time. He also asked when we would like to talk and even made a trip to our home to make things easier for my wife. From the day we signed that contract, not only was he diligent but also made it a point to keep us informed every step of the way. He also, went out of his way to explain the process rather then confusing us with terms meant to inspire confidence. At the end, not only were we given a good settlement but even if we did not get the settlement, we were really happy with the diligence and dignity in which our case was handled. Highly recommend!

Great attorney with work ethic.

I had the privilege of having Kristopher representing me in a MVA. The other party was at fault and he was able to get me a very good settlement with the insurance company. He is an excellent attorney with great work ethic and professionalism. He is always available and maintains good communication w...ith his client. He always fights for the interest of his client and gives great advices. I strongly recommend Kris to whoever needing legal counseling.
