WHO KNEW MY GUARDIAN ANGEL WOULD BE AN ATTORNEY~JLG

Attorney Sheldon Minkow has been a blessing from the first day I met him in August of 2010. My case was a Worker's Comp. case and very convoluted and very time consuming. I was due to have 4 surgeries on my spine and could not get a guarantee from doctors nor specialists that I would even walk again.... That did not scare Sheldon, oh NO! It has almost been three years now. The Insurer(WC Company) used every trick in the book and for each one, Sheldon had a remedy. I mean its like the man did not sleep! Not once during this time have I ever had to "chase him down" he was always available to me. He was more of a confidant than my own family. I have never had a business relationship with such a compassionate and empathetic professional. I have severe PTSD among others as a result of the attack and as if he was trained in that area; he was able to keep me calm during the emotional roller-coaster that the WC Company was putting me through. It wasn't long before I realized that I could trust Sheldon with my life. He went above and beyond to make me comfortable. To say that Attorney Sheldon Minkow is just knowledgeable is simply not enough his competency is exemplary and his level of Professional determination is outstanding! He has some of the BEST LEGAL ASSISTANTS IN THE WORLD! They are all aware of my case and again, Never have I reached out to them without being comforted and assured. He is most definitely dedicated to his clients. He has treated me as though I was a part of his family. Only he and his staff know exactly what I have been through without any family except my children. But they stepped right in and filled the gap. I can easily say that if it had not been for Attorney Sheldon Minkow, I do not know where I would be with my children or how we would have survived through this ordeal. My most memorable experience was when I had to sign some very important paperwork~my signature was pertinent and due to my spinal condition; I was unable to drive so far to his office which is on 33rd N. LaSalle, Chicago. He promised me that all would be taken care of and not to worry. Well, I don't know much but I know He cares because around 3:30pm Sheldon was knocking at my door and I live( in traffic) about an hour or so maybe more from his office!!That's right, he brought the paperwork to me to sign! Now if that doesn't convince you that he is the Attorney of choice to handle any legal issues that fall under his area of expertise; I don't know what will. In this world today, people just don't care like this anymore. Well, take it from me, Atty, Sheldon Minkow will take care of you and I am almost POSITIVE YOU WILL BE VERY PLEASED WITH THE OUTCOME! I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes: "GOOD BETTER BEST. NEVER LET IT REST UNTIL GOOD IS BETTER AND BETTER IS BEST!" Lastly, with Attorney Sheldon Minkow and Associates; you will without any doubts in my mind or heart have the epitome of BEST WORKING ON YOUR SIDE. IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER!
