Auto Accident

Mr. Konkel handled an auto accident for me. I was rear ended when at a stop light. Not having any experience with insurance companies I was impressed with his knowledge. Important to me was his realistic approach on what my damages were worth. Even though the legal process took a long time to me, the... final settlement was in the range Mr. Konkel discussed. I would use him again if needed.

"Jerry Konkel is an outstanding lawyer. His intelligence and grasp of of personal injury law are impressive and obvious after an even brief conversation with him. Jerry is patient, caring and sensible when dealing with people and cases. I know first-hand. I once found myself immersed in a 3 week personal injury trial in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I was deeply grateful for Jerry's unselfish assistance which resulted in a six figure verdict and ultimate $500,000 award to my client. You cannot go wrong with Jerry. Alex Flynn"
