John B. Edmondson's Lawyer Endorsements
"John Edmondson and I worked together for a number of years, defending employers and insurance carriers. John then started his own practice, representing injured employees. He takes great interest in his clients, and provides them aggressive, thoughtful representation. His knowledge of worker's compensation law, and the history of worker's compensation law, is deep. John is an expert. I endorse him without reservation."
"I endorse this lawyer. I asked John for some advice on a workers compensation matter, and he sat with me on the phone for 25 minutes explaining, in detail, what I needed to consider further. He came off as humble and intelligent. His clients are fortunate to work with him."
"I've known John for approximately 25 years. He is one of the most knowledgeable lawyers I know of in the workers' compensation area. He welcomes questions from peers and returns sound advice. John ethically and aggressively represents his clients. He is also a strong advocate for the workers' compensation bar and for changes that will make the legal system a better one. I endorse this lawyer without qualification. Thomas P. Schwaba, J.D."
"I endorse this lawyer.I've known John as a member of the Outagamie County bar for more than 25 years. He was voted best of the bar by his fellow lawyers in the area of workers compensation . That is extremely high praise for a solo practitioner since many law firms have an incentive to vote for their own lawyers. I frequently call John to ask questions and get insightful answers. John is someone you can trust. I know he answers many questions for people and is remarkably candid as to whether people need to hire an attorney or not. I know he obtains excellent results for his clients. I would recommend John to my family and friends."
"I endorse this lawyer. John Edmondson knows more about workers compensation than any lawyer that I work with. I call him often to discuss cases. John is always willing to help. I recommend him highly."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"John is the first person on my list of lawyers for referral of workers compensation cases. His knowledge and experience in this practice area are by far the best of any lawyer I know. More importantly, John takes the time to answer questions and make sure the potential client feels like they have been treated respectfully. He is a valued resource in the legal community."
