Thank You

Thank You, ( and the rest of your Team) for the time that you dedicated to Shaun and myslef and the manner, expertise & knowledge which you used in handling my case. I feel that my case was settled with integrity, that the best settlement, considering all factors involved was reached and tha...t I am able to address what occurred to me in a positive manner. If my mind does go there, I look back in gratitude to Fred Schenk and Jillian Hayes for patiently listening to our side of of the story. .I am grateful to the team of Doctors that assisted me through the process, so that I am now able to live a life as active as I lived before, and to Dr Mcdonough and Diana Neumer. Without the help of the PTSD Doctors I know that I would still carry this incident through life with me in a way that I can only describe as a "waste of time" to do so, I am beyond happy that they showed me a way to put it behind me and I am very grateful to you, Fred and Jillian for politely yet diligently suggesting that I seek their help. Thank You Fred and Jillian, it makes me happy to be able to close this chapter feeling good about all of it. Sincerely, Patty

Efficient and thorough

Fred was extremely thorough, making serious and in depth efforts to substantiate the injury claim. He has a team of assistants, investigators and attorneys that was able to locate and obtain the evidence needed to prove the negligence leading to my injury. In choosing to go to mediation rather than t...rial he saved time, expenses and anxiety. I can recommend Fred Schenk and his staff with confidence and assurance that the work will be performed efficiently, professionally and satisfactorily!!

Native Wisdom

"Hear all sides and you will be enlightened; Hear only one side and you will be in the dark; How well I know what happens when only one side is heard”. Fred Schenk and his team are the best! I suffered a spinal cord injury in 2011 at work. My case seemed to be impossible to win, but Fred w...ith David, and Robert sure put in the work to make sure that I was taken care of. Fred's unshaking perseverance paid off, and we won!

I am Malaysian, a forigner that Fred helped professionally

I am from Borneo, Malaysia, a post-doc student at UCSD. My husband got involved in Harley Davidson motorcycle accident. He got hit by a car and he lost two front teeth, broken nose and some cuts on the face. He was sent to the La Jolla Memorial Hospital from Oceanside on a helicopter. As a foreigner..., we know nothing about US laws. But lucky that our friend advised us to find an attorney to help us with the case especially on our medical bills and bill of other related. I search on the net, and we found Casey Gerry. Right after we called him, he sent an investigator to our apartment. I don't expect that prompt actions. After their hard works, we finally get our rights. They helped us to get a settlement for about 65 thousand dollars. We enjoyed our life now in our country and never forget Casey Gerry's help especially Andy Duckworth, Paul Frankcavilla and of course Fred Schenk..

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.
