Auto Accident Personal Injury Representation

I was involved in a car accident in which I had many medical bills for. This was the first accident I had ever been in and I was overwhelmed with how to go about it. The stress after being in an accident is bad enough, then we have to deal with the aftermath of trying to figure out the insurance co...mpanies and making sure everyone that provided your care is paid in a timely manner. Tom Diehl was recommended to me by an acquaintance, as someone who had helped her tremendously when she was in an accident a few years before. I called and scheduled a consultation with him, and after meeting with him I felt completely relieved of my stress about all of it. He told me he would gather all the information and lay it all out for me before I officially "hired" him, so that I was assured it was worth it for me financially. I met with him the 2nd time and he had everything ready with 3 options for me to choose from and explained how each one would benefit me. I decided that it was 100% worth it and hired him on to represent me. He did everything he had promised. He did all the work of talking to the insurance companies so I didn't' have to really think about it much after that until it was all said and done. He made sure all of my medical bills were paid, and spoke with the practices that provided my care so that I didn't have to. He made sure to check with me in the end to make sure I was comfortable with the settlement amount. I didn't feel that the first couple offers were acceptable and he went to bat for me until we (the insurance company and I) reached an agreement to settle on. Great service from Tom and his staff. Very easy to get in touch with any time during normal business hours, and quick responses back via email. Hopefully I'll never be in another accident, but if I am I will absolutely be hiring him on again.

"I've been fortunate enough to get to work with Tom on many cases, and I can sincerely say that he is one of the sharpest and most diligent attorneys I've ever come across. He has the unique ability to identify even the most minute, yet pivotal details in a case, while at the same time exuding a friendly approachability that invariably makes the client feel at ease. He has a remarkable understanding of the medical field, and his attention to detail and aptitude for technical writing have consistently brought his clients success, particularly in medical negligence cases.

"Over the course of the last three (3) years, I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Tom on a number of cases. I believe anyone would struggle to find a more competent, thorough, and focused attorney who handles plaintiff matters. He is truly an exceptional attorney, and deserving of all the success he has had in the world of civil litigation."
