Car collision

Jake Gancarczyk worked on my case and it went absolutely well. The communication, his understanding, and his knowledge, 100% great. I recommend him to everyone. Thank you Jake for your help! I appreciate everything you’ve done!

Car Accident

We had a great experience with Spesia and Taylor. Jake represented us and was professional throughout the entire process. We were well informed and constantly updated. Jake made me feel comfortable during the deposition. I felt prepared going in. We could not have been happier with the outcome.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
