Don't hesitate, call the Ledger Law Firm!!!

On father's day of 2015, while driving from getting coffee, I was hit by another vehicle due to him running a red light. The driver had no remorse and I was stuck with a big mess of a totalled car, sprained shoulder and lost my voice due to the screaming from the accident. The feeling was overwhelmin...g and scared because this all happened so quickly and didn't know what to do. Due to other circumstances, I had to pay about $1,500 out of my own pockets for something that I didn't deserve or ask for. So after looking online and requesting for a free consultation, I got a call from the Ledger Law Firm and as they asked a few questions, they showed concern and empathy that seemed so genuine to me. At that moment, I knew I felt like they were the ones that I wanted for help at my time of need. Now, they walked me through everything, explained the whole process of what is to come and what to expect. They kept nothing from me and updated me throughout the whole case. They even gave me a courtesy call for my birthday :) They made me feel cared about and they made sure they helped me through it all. Going through an accident is absolutely terrible and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. What makes it even worse is being financially unstable once that burden hits you. Not only did they get me the money that I lost during the accident (deductible cost, impound fees, etc), they even managed to get me more than I expected. Thank you Ledger Law for your help during my time of need. I appreciate all that you did for me. I will always recommend you guys to anyone needing a good group of lawyers to fight their case. And if I ever get caught up in a sticky situation again, without hesitation, I will call the Ledger Law Firm. Thank you again for your services, I appreciate you guys and with a special shout out to Shea J!!! Thanks you guys!

Ledger Law Firm

My daughter was hit by a truck walking home from school and sustained some serious injuries. I had no idea what to do until I contacted Ledger Law Firm. The staff at Ledger did an unbelievable job at putting my mind at ease thru such a terrible time in my life, Ledger was able to get my daughters doc...tor bills takin care of as well as getting her a settlement that she deserved. The staff was very easy to communicate with and didnt disappear once the ball got rollin. They kept in touch with me on a regular basis to insure my daughter was being takin good care of. I HIGHLY recommend Ledger Law Firm to anyone who has been involved in an accident.

Great experience

Nothing but good things to say about this firm. They kept me well informed through out the entire process. I did not had to speak at all with the insurance company who's client was at fault. If I had a question whether I called them or emailed they would answer and reply back quickly. I had never bee...n through a situation like this in terms of the accident and needed help but Ledger Law firm and their representatives where very attentive and really explained in detail what I had to do and what I could expect. I definitely recommend them if you have been through an accident and are in need of help or simply guidance. If I ever go through this again I know who to call. Ledger Law Firm is number one in my book.

LEDGER IS THE BEST!!!

my husband was involved in a motorcycle accident; the other driver was at fault. at first we did not know what to do, the hospital bill was outrageous. after intensive online research on different firms that could take our case i came across a website to request legal advise. Ledger was the first fir...m who responded to my inquiry and after we spoke on the phone with them we decided that they had to handle our case. every representativethat we spoke to was very helpful, knowledgeable and answer in detail every question and concern that we had. i never had to call them to know the status of our case, they ALWAYS kept up informed of any updates. they were wonderful negotiating with the providers to lower their chargers. we received the compensation we deserve thank to Ledger. i would definitely recommend this lawyer to all who wants a helpful, knowledgeable, caring & informative firm to handle your accident case.

A Very Smart Decision

November 19, 2013, me, my wife, and kids were struck head on by a drunk driver heading from our home less than five miles to an atm to cash a check. Because I was alert, I stopped and he headed straight in our direction, there was nothing I could do, I didn't even know what to do. The scene was ver...y traumatic for my family, we all suffered injuries and my wife even had to go to the hospital. I can't even explain the anger and confusion I was feeling at the time. But I had to be strong, my wife and daughter was crying, my son has angelman's syndrome (look it up), so he was the most confused and was unable to express if he had any pain. This was the scariest moment for all of us, someone could have been killed at that moment. Anyways the next day the first thing I did was get advice from my father and he told me right away get an attorney, one with experience. I went to a website, that I can not remember right now, but I filled out my information and my story, within minutes I received a call from Ledger Law. The guy that called me sounded a little too scripted but I gave him a chance to talk which I am glad I did. He listened to my story and sounded genuinely concerned and ready to help. Once all my info was collected it seemed you could feel the wheels turning. At first I felt that I needed to be constantly on top of them because I hate when action in slow. But Emery called me himself and explained how the processed worked and assured me that I was going to be satisfied with the outcome if I just let them do their jobs. Since I wasn't a lawyer I decided to do just that (what are we paying them for?). Anyways to make a long story short, my wife and I ended up getting comfortable max settlements in less than a year, her's even came months before mine. They certainly worked for their pay, if I called, they called back, if I emailed, they called back. After a while I just stop calling and waited for them to call me, I was that comfortable they were doing their best. I thank everyone in the office that I have spoken to, can't think to put everyone's name in this review but the name that sticks in my head towards the end is Brianna Kurocik. SHE IS THE BEST!!! If you want to try your luck somewhere else you can, but take it from me, listen to Matthew first and take care of yourself while they work hard for you. Please note that I am too cool to write lame reviews but I have never been so wrong about lawyers every phone call and email was pleasant and informative. If it wasn't for Brianna and the team around her I would be hurting still waiting for my money to pay my bills. I feel like a lame injury informercial during daytime tv but I understand now. Thanks Ledger Law Firm!! LOL!!!
