There can't be better out there
My friend and I were involved in a car accident in Jan 2021- a man ran through a stop sign as we were going 65 mph, causing us to tbone him. He was at fault. I was airlifted to a GB hospital. My son had passed away at college 5 weeks before, so I was not prepared to deal with any of it. Kevin and his staff were patient, guided me, encouraged me even when I was ready to give up, because I just couldn't handle anything at that time in my life. I ended up getting the most I could get , and I am so happy that I went to him in the first place. Although I'm sure they had much bigger cases than mine, they made me feel like a priority.

Great Communications and Easy to Work With
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
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
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.

Very Thorough and Professional
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.

Very Good Lawyer
Attorney Lonergan is a very good lawyer. He did his job very well. He made sure I had an understanding of the process, and helped me in every way he was able to. I strongly recommend him!! His paralegal, Kris, was awesome as well! They both were very helpful, and provided excellent communication.

I was not just another number to Kevin
When I first contacted Kevin, my world had been completely flipped upside down by my father's death. When I interviewed other attorneys, I often left with the impression that I was nothing more than a number to them. That was not the case with Kevin. I knew that by hiring Kevin, my father's case would be treated with the respect and seriousness that it deserved, and I was proven correct by the outcome. I cannot over emphasize my regard for Kevin and his staff.

Kind, courteous, and caring lawyer
Kevin is a very kind, courteous, and caring lawyer. I thank him from the bottom of my heart. He got me a settlement I wasn’t expecting. All I wanted was to make sure my bills were paid, but he did so much more for me. I thank you again, Kevin, for everything.

Excellent Attorney That Treats His Clients with Compassion and Respect
After the dog bite had happened, we knew we needed to seek legal advice. We used the Internet to search for a law firm. Herrling Clark was by far the fastest to respond, which showed that we were not just another case. From our initial meeting and all through the process, Kevin and Laurel really put our minds at ease that we had made the right choice with Herrling Clark, due to their professionalism, expertise in this type of case, and true knowledge of the laws. We were always treated with compassion and respect. No question ever went without an answer and we always felt we were being fully represented, protected, kept up to date, and much more. If any further misfortunates ever do occur, I would not even hesitate to be represented by Herrling Clark and Attorney Lonergan and his team. I will be recommending Herrling Clark to others and my experience with them.

Great to work with
Kevin and his staff were great to work with. They always kept me up to date on matters pertaining to my case. If they didn't have the answer, they got back to me in less than 24 hours. Normally, it was less than 3 hours. Thanks to all at Herrling Clark.
