Was Fortunate To Find Mark Mingo

I sustained an disabling injury while staying at a Wisconsin hotel. I wasn't considering a legal remedy. Instead, I was trying to represent myself with the insurance company. Mistake! It became clear that I was in over my head, because all I was getting from the insurance adjusters was delay, diversi...on of blame onto others and frustration. In searching for a personal injury attorney on the Internet, I found Mark Mingo whose firm is in Milwaukee. I got very lucky! I highly recommend Mark to you. He is very professional with years of experience in both negotiation and litigation. Mark has worked both sides of personal injury law. He has defended insurance companies and sued them. He knows the legal landscape and has a working knowledge of many opposing lawyers and trial judges in Wisconsin. I was able to understand the legal process because Mark explained it well as i went through it. You can find his firm on the Internet listed as Mingo & Yankala S.C. If your case has merit and Mark is your attorney, I believe that you too will give Mark your strong endorsement.

Personal injury car accident

Hired Mark months after a car accident and my health insurance refused to pay my medical bills. Mark took my case, contacted the health insurer and got them to cover the bills, taking the huge expense off my family’s shoulders. Mark is a very knowledgeable lawyer with lots of experience. He handle...d every aspect of my case and gave proper legal advice on how to proceed as the case developed. Everything he advised me to do really helped the outcome of the case. I would recommend him to anyone I know who is in need of an attorney.

25k with No insurance!!!

Mark is a great and professional lawyer. The original call to him started off as a free consultation, in which I ended up retaining him. I was passenger (backseat) in a car accident where the driver went off road and caused the car to rollover. I ended up having to go to hospital and diagnosed wit...h a fractured spine. At the time I was living with my mother, and neither I nor the driver had car insurance at the time. Mark was still willing to look into it and take it on. Some how some way he found a stipulation in my mothers car insurance contract. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know exact wording, but because she had car insurance and I lived with her, I was able to be covered!! Here I was expecting absolutely nothing because the driver had no insurance, but Mark pulled it off. I had one phone interview with insurance company at Mark's office, and about one week later I got my settlement money. I paid him with that money, nothing up front!! I would recommend Mark Mingo to anyone who is looking for a personal injury lawyer. Professional, friendly, but still tough enough to get the job done.

Thankful for the great advice!

Automobile accidents can be scary and confusing! Having someone who could answer my questions knowledgeably and address my concerns was such a comfort. Though my injuries were not severe, navigating the insurance companies and medical bills was difficult and being able to place it in the hands of s...omeone far more capable than I was a huge blessing!
