Outstanding!
This is the second time that I chose Rich Elrod as my attorney, due to an auto accident on two separate occasions. The professionalism, compassion, and support that Rich showed regarding my personal injury case and my physical recovery was outstanding! I would definitely recommend him as an excellent personal injury attorney.

Honest and Great Communication
Rich is always a straight shooter looking out for his clients rights and best interest. I've had the privilege of using Rich for two previous injury cases and I've been very happy with the outcome of each. I'd highly recommend Rich Elrod for your Personal Injury needs and Herrling Clark Law Firm in general as I also use them for my business.

I would recommend this lawyer
Mr. Elrod is a very pleasant man to deal with. As my case was a very hard case to deal with but Mr. Elrod pulled through with flying colors for me. Thanks to everyone at Herrling Clark.

Rich is well respected in the community.
Rich is well respected in the community. During mediation both the mediator and the other attorney made comments to the effect that “having Rich Elrod” gave credence to my lawsuit. Always prepared for meetings. In the times I couldn’t think straight, he was understanding and supportive giving me wise counsel. He always made me feel safe.

Honest & Trustworthy
Rich is honest, trustworthy and easy to work with. He made me feel at ease regarding my case and I never had to question his work. He never told me that I would make a lot of money, just gave me all the facts right from the beginning. I would highly recommend Rich to anyone!

Highly Recommend this Attorney
Attorney Elrod represented me for a car accident I had while I was working. He made me feel comfortable because he kept me informed in what was going on in my case each step of the way and explained things to me in a way I could understand. Attorney Elrod was knowledgeable in both work comp and personal injury. I appreciated his patience and knowing that someone was in my corner. Given the success I had, I would highly recommend Attorney Elrod.

Excellent and Knowledgeable Attorney
Attorney Elrod represented me for an auto accident I was involved in a few years ago. I was the victim of a traumatic accident, my life was shaken and thankfully Attorney Elrod came to see me as soon as I contacted him. I felt confident in his abilities and this made for 1 less thing for me to be concerned about. Attorney Elrod’s assistant, Karie Vande Voort, was very kind and helpful, staying in contact with me throughout the process. Attorney Elrod went above and beyond for me and I would recommend him to my family and friends.

Third Party Workman’s Compensation Case
We have never dealt with a lawyer before. We had a tough case (at least we thought it was tough). From the very first call we made and asked for help it was a sigh of relief. Any problem we had or questions that came up all we had to do was call and it was resolved. To us Rich went beyond to help us.

Very Personable

Review of Rich Elrod
From the moment that I met Mr. Elrod in September 2009 I felt at ease. This meeting was only three weeks after my accident. Mr. Elrod and his staff were always readily available for support and compassionate regarding the components of my disability. I would recommend Mr. Elrod; a "10 out of 10"!

Attorney Review
Very pleased. I would recommend Rich to anyone I know. I felt very confident working with him, trusted his decisions, and I felt very at ease and knowledgeable with all decisions that were made. Rich puts everyone as an equal and does not talk down to you. Again, I am very happy with my decision to use him as my attorney.
