Insurance Settlement

Jim and Brenda were both professional compassionate and there with me from the beginning, I called them from the nursing home which I was sent to because I was non weight bearing due to two broken ankles sustained in a car accident. I had no idea how to proceed. Jim and Brenda took over, and made s...ure I got my lost wages, medical bills paid, money for home care and a settlement as well. I highly recommend Suk Law Firm to anyone.

Client

Mr. Suk and members of his firm have been most helpful in helping our family get a settlement for a Wrongful Death Suite. Through this process he has keep us informed of the process, calmed distressed and frustrated family members, and periodically checked in to keep us abreast of the progress that... was being made.

Would recommend Jim Suk law firm

My husband and I were involved in a head on crash in 2016 by a drunk driver. We had heard of Jim Suk by a friend that knew him outside of his law practice stating he was a great guy. After the bills started to escalate we knew we would need professional advice in how to proceed with this unfortunat...e accident. We sought out Jim Suk’s law firm for help. Jim and his legal assistant Brenda met with us at our home to discuss the details. We found Jim and Brenda to be very helpful and easy to talk with. We felt so much better after letting them handle all the details from there forward. Brenda continued to encourage us to work at healing and leave the legal details to them. With multiple injuries I found so much relief in knowing I could just concentrate on getting to appointments, PT and healing and let go of the worry of all the billing questions. If we had any questions Jim and Brenda were always there to answer the call. The Suk law firm was excellent in how they handled and completed our case. They were knowledgeable, fair , caring and considerate. Both my husband and I found the staff very understanding and they met all of our needs. I would use the Suk law firm again and have recommended them to our friends and family. Thankful for their time, consideration and results.

Wonderful experience

I'm so pleased with the care and attention from the team at Suk Law Firm. My primary contact was Brenda, and she is fantastic! Timely with communication, professional, understanding, and compassionate. I sought their service after a car accident. My case took nearly 5 years to resolve thanks to their... experience in this field, we waited to settle until the timing was right. Brenda would check in from time to time and each time I had a question she was prompt and friendly in her replies. I'm grateful for their service - while I hope to not need them again, I wouldn't hesitate to call them! Highly recommend the Suk Law Firm team!

The best outcome arising from a terrible accident.

Mr. Suk helped out myself and my family during the darkest time of my life. I was unable to speak for myself for an extended period of time and he worked with my wife to make sure that she understood the process and what kind of help he would be able to provide to us. Mr. Suk and his staff literall...y took over in dealing with the insurance companies so that my wife and I could concentrate on doctor's orders and my intensive rehabilitation. Mr. Suk was always available to myself and my wife whenever we had questions or concerns about my case. As soon as I was able to speak for myself he came to visit me in the hospital and went over everything with me personally and made me feel that we were in good hands. ( over a two hour round trip ) This was an extremely stressful time in our lives and I can honestly say that we are very thankful that we had Mr. Suk working on our behalf. He and his staff kept us informed during the whole process and in turn helped us to have the best outcome possible with our insurance carrier. We will be recommending Mr. Suk to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney as we know that we could not have been in better hands. I am so very thankful for the help he gave to myself and my family.
