Jerry and his staff reply to questions promptly and professionally. I would not hesitate to use Jerry and this law firm again if the need were to aris...e. Thanks Jerry for making a bad situation a lot easier to deal with.

Working with Jerry

I must admit, at the beginning of this endeavor I was extremely nervous and worried. When my injury happened I had no idea what to expect for the future or even what steps to take. I called Jerry's office and briefly explained my situation to his paralegal and she scheduled a phone consultation the ...following day with Jerry. As soon as I got on the phone with him, he immediately put me at ease by explaining the ins and outs of these types of cases and a basic what to expect, in a way that I could readily understand. To be honest, working with jerry was as easy as signing a few documents, answering a few phone calls, and going to my appointments. And to be completely honest i cant imagine a better way to get through a situation like that. I guess my favorite part about working with Jerry and his staff was the fact that I was treated like a personal friend rather than a client. I always felt like they kept my best interests in mind, and that is important to me. Or to anyone who is struggling with an injury that keeps them from working. Jerry is one heck of an attorney, but he was generally just a good guy and I am very lucky to have worked him. Thank you Mr. Sisk, my family and I are eternally grateful for your hard work and your dedication.

Jerry Sisk an honest caring attorney in the world of work comp claims

I injured my lower back while at work prior to speaking with Jerry Sisk a respectable attorney in my mind. I completed what I was required to at work regarding the injury but chose to try and heal with my own sick time and personal therapy. A few years later I continued to have more serious probl...ems with the same injury. I went to the doctor on my own dime and time table. Then remembered that I filed a first report of injury at work related to the same injury. When I attempted to gain assistance through my work I was informed to go pound sand (Trying to be nice). Anyways I contact the Law office of Thomas Mottaz to see if anything could be done. I met with Jerry Sisk and from day one he represented himself very honestly. I could tell that Jerry truly wanted to assist in anyway he could and was not afraid to tell me the truth about how things work in the work comp world. Jerry took my case on once we retrieved information from different doctors related to my condition. We ended up settling the case and I was able to accomplish my goal of connecting my injury to my employer which was the original idea to begin with. If anyone, I mean anyone is thinking twice about calling Jerry Sisk, stop waiting and pick the phone up. This was the most professional experience that I have ever had with an attorney and would not hesitate to call Jerry again for anything. Work comp claims can be a real hassle. Find an attornery that cares about you and not the money in the long run. Jerry is that guy. Thanks Jerry for all your help and assistance.

Superb champion for a rough legal mess

I was dealing with a Workman's Comp claim involving the death of a family member. (Very difficult emotionally and financially.) I was referred to Jerry by someone very knowlegable in this area of law/lawyers. Jerry was a consistently calm, strong, thorough, knowledgeable, hard-working and straigh...tforward advocate. At each point in the process he told me what to expect and gave me the information and support necessary for me to make difficult decisions. The claim has been settled. I give Jerry the highest possible recommendation. He is terrific!

Workers compensation lawyer | Oct 03

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Jerry Sisk is an excellent workers’ compensation attorney. Bright, energetic and talented – he possesses the willingness to try cases when necessary- balanced by the discernment to resolve disputes amicably where appropriate. Guided by a good moral compass and possessing a solid set of technical skills, Jerry provides superb representation for his clients. Jerry possesses an able grasp of the intricacies of the complex Minnesota Workers’ Compensation law. Before coming to work at the Law Office of Thomas D. Mottaz, he spent 5 years working at the premier St. Paul insurance defense firm of Heacox and Hartman. There he learned the nuts and bolts of defending a case. This tutelage prepared him well for his position. In addition to providing zealous and capable representation to his clients, Jerry also presents at various seminars and he periodically writes for local legal publications. Jerry is also very active in the local bar association. As such, I highly recommend him."
