Thank you, John
As anyone who’s gone through a malpractice suit knows, the stress and anxiety can be a tremendous burden. I would not have wanted anyone but John to be guiding me through this tough process.

I was referred to Polewski & Associates by a friend in mid-2014. I met with John and his team and described what happened to me.

Client Bill

Great Lawyer
First, I would like to thank Mr. John Polewski for everything he has done in my case. He is a very smart and knowledgeable lawyer.

John is a very good lawyer. He has a strong sense of empathy. He is not just in business for the money, he really cares about his clients. My husband and I hired him in a malpractice case and we did not win but it wasn't because of John. John worked very hard for several years on our case. I would h...
John P. Polewski's Lawyer Endorsements
"John Polewski is one of the finest lawyers I know. His knowledge and understanding of medicine combined with his passionate advocacy in the courtroom make him an excellent medical malpractice lawyer."
"I endorse John. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"John is an excellent trial lawyer. Smart, aggressive and works hard for great results."
"John Polewski is an excellent trial lawyer who I had the privilege of working alongside on a contract litigation matter in 2013. Mr. Polewski conducted a masterful cross-examination of one of the Plaintiffs, which undoubtedly led to both his client and mine earning take-nothing verdicts from the jury. Additionally, Mr. Polewski's extensive jury trial experience would be an asset to any client on any type of case. I'm proud to call Mr. Polewski a colleague and friend and would be delighted to work with him again in the future."
"I endorse this lawyer. John is a top-shelf lawyer. I have known John for more than 30 years. He is committed, resourceful and successful. He wins his cases!! John has handled serious cases throughout Texas and Arkansas. You will enjoy getting to know John and seeing him in action."
"I have known John for more than 20 years and have referred dozens of cases to him over the years. I do so because I know John to be one of the sharpest, most-capable injury lawyers in Texas and I know he will always do an exemplary job for my clients. I often turn to John when I want to brainstorm an idea, such as a new trial technique or novel jury argument. John stays abreast of the latest developments in our field of practice, yet he also somehow finds time to remain active in the Bar, its committees, and the various trial lawyer associations. He is intelligent, hard-working, bright, innovative, and, most of all, successful. John wins cases. He gets the job done. If for no other reason than that, he has my highest recommendation."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with John for many years, litigating medical malpractice cases. He is aggressive to the defense and attentive to the client. I highly recommend him for both Personal Injury and Medical Malpractice cases."
"I have tried a case to a jury with John, and he is magnificent. He has excellent command of the law and the issues from the jury's perspective. I often defer to John's judgment on trial matters because he is very experienced and has an instinct regarding human nature- which includes judges and juries. I am proud of my association with John over the years and know that he is highly regarded by others in the legal community. If you have a case in Dallas, there are few plaintiff's attorneys who are better suited to handle your personal injury case."
