Most powerful, knowledgeable, and compassionate lawyer

Jim and Jessica did an outstanding job with my case in one of the most difficult times of my life. I had no idea how insurance settlements work and realized quickly it was something that I couldn't take on myself. After my first visit with Jim and Jessica, my mind was put at ease with their knowledge... and explanation of how insurance claims work. They took care of all medical bills coming in and discussions needed with insurance companies, something that I could've never done on my own. I was able to focus on healing and rehab. When I sat down with Jim and Jessica for meetings, I was reassured about how the case was going, and at the end, they got me the best settlement I could've ever imagined. If I needed anything or had a question, I felt like their only client. They also helped my husband navigate his way through this. Their knowledge of "the system" in Rochester and outstanding reputation in the community made all the difference. I owe them a huge debt of gratitude.

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.

Excellent Service!

Suk Law Firm represented me in a personal injury case due to injuries I received in a car accident. Jim and his paralegal staff’s years of legal experience were proven in the quality, professional service they provided. They clearly explained and guided me through the legal process, so that I was... able to focus on my recovery. I never felt pressure to settle at any time, and they were prompt to respond to my questions. Jim was able to recover a settlement that I was pleased with, while charging a fair fee for his legal services. I would highly recommend Suk Law Firm.

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.

Highly recommend

I chose Mr. Suk's law firm for the connivence of his location and it was the best decision I could have made. Mr. Suk represented me for an injury stemming from a car accident and the team at Suk Law Firm was very professional and knowledgeable. I have never been involved in a lawsuit and they were e...xcellent at explaining the process, making me feel comfortable and keeping me updated throughout. I highly recommend them!
