      Great Communications and Easy to Work With

      Posted by

      Kevin as his associates (team) were great to work with. Through the whole process, they kept me up to date on things and had great communications. Although it was a longer time frame that we worked together, I was pleased with the results in the end. They were very helpful and friendly at all times.

      Gave Dylan Justice

      Posted by

      Kevin and his team gave us something that the county justice system couldn't - justice for my son Dylan. Kevin gave us compassion, hope, and understanding. We finally had someone who was going to fight for us. Kevin was very knowledgeable and very professional. He did what we wanted without any pressure. I would recommend Kevin and his team of professionals without a doubt. He was our light in our darkest hour.

      Uninsured Auto Accident/Personal Injury

      Posted by

      Thank you so much to Kevin, Laurel, and the staff at Herrling Clark Law Firm. I worked with them for 3 years after suffering a life changing accident. They helped me navigate through the insurance process at every step, while taking time to thoroughly discuss every question I had, big or small. In the end, I felt I received a fair settlement that reflected the knowledge and experience that Kevin and his staff have. I feel like I am now ready to move on from this tragedy! I highly recommend Kevin Lonergan and Laurel Wirth for any personal injury needs you may have.

      Kevin and his staff make a great team

      Kevin, Laurel and Cheryl make a great team. They do such a great job communicating, even the finest of details. They take the worry and stress out of a bad situation.

      Very Thorough and Professional

      Posted by

      Kevin handled our case in a very thorough and professional manner. He is very competent and was able to reach a fair settlement for us. His paralegal Laurel followed up on all questions and concerns very thoroughly. We really enjoyed watching Kevin work through the mediation process. We would recommend Kevin to anyone needing an attorney to handle a personal injury claim.

      Outstanding Experience

      Posted by

      Our experience with Kevin and Laurel was outstanding. Kevin was nice, considerate, and easy to work with. It was a difficult case, but they pulled it out in the end. Kevin is definitely a great lawyer for personal injury/business. We highly recommend Kevin and Laurel.

      I endorse this lawyer. Kevin is an exceptional attorney. I was able to second-chair a wrongful death case with him in early 2014 and his presence in the courtroom and in front of a jury was truly incredible. He is genuine, thoughtful and truly committed to protecting the rights of his clients.
