This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Fantastic Personal Injury Lawyer

I had never had an interaction with a lawyer before and had no idea where to begin even finding one for my personal injury claim I wanted to make against a major corporation. I knew I was in way over my head but after reviewing Jeff's profile/resume, I called him for a consolation. I got a call back ...from him right away and he was very engaged and offered to help. We met right away and I hired him on the spot. He was very proactive in regards to staying on top of all things related to the case and had tremendous communication throughout the process. He negotiated on my behalf and he was very firm in representing my wishes. I eventually settled before we filed suit for a generous amount. The process was something I put entirely into Jeff's hands, and he represented me better than I could have ever expected. I endorse Jeff to the fullest and recommend using him whole heartedly.

A better attorney in the Twin Cities you will not find.

This is my first and hopefully last time I will ever need a lawyer and I am so thankful I was referred to Mr. Storms. The fist lawyer that I went to stated that since it is a government entity that was at fault there were too many moving parts and immunity issues for him but stated that he knew of a... law firm that has experience in these types of law suits. I met with Jeff and he took on my case knowing of the pitfalls surrounding it and fought with tenacity on my behalf. In the end because of Jeff's incredibly hard work he had done on my behlaf my case was able to be settled for well then what I had expected. Bottom line is that Jeff is a superb attorney who will fight and work hard on your behalf to get you what you deserve.

Highly recommended

I had an excellent experience working with Mr. Storms. He consistently kept me informed as the case progressed and was always willing to explain things to me in non-legalese. For the duration of the case, he was always realistic in setting expectations around what the potential outcomes were. In the ...end, we were successful in reaching a settlement that was more than satisfactory to me. On a personal level, Mr. Storms is very friendly, personable and easy to work with. I would absolutely reach out to him again if I had a similar need in the future.

Great Experience

Jeff's work on my case was excellent. He was always very professional and prompt in communicating everything with me that I needed to know. He spent many hours gathering information and preparing evidence that helped our case immensely. I could not have asked for a better outcome, highly recommend.
