Consultation about my car accident case

I am lease guarantor of my business partner's car, who was involved in a car accident. The opponent side is threatening with outrageous damage compensation against his insurance company and us. I had a call with Emery and both myself and my partner explained the details about the case. He attentively... analyzed the situation and let us know immediately and why their over inflated claim has no legal basis. And that the maximum they can settle for in the worst case scenario for us is way below the insurance coverage, so there is nothing we need to worry about.

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.

Excellent customer service

Thank you Mr. Ledger to you and your staff. You answered all of my questions and got me and my fiancée more than I thought we could get. I hope friends are never hurt like me but if they were, I would recomend them talk to Shea or Melanie, their knowledge of how to handle my case was A+. Thanks a...gain.

Posted by Christopher | April 27, 2011 | Car Accidents

Thank God, I called THIS law firm!

Mr. Ledger, I contacted you in December of 2009 and over the last 16 months, my case has been handled by your firm; specifically by Melanie Harris. At first I was a little worried about how my claim was being handled and I am sure that is because I was just simply unaware of the process as this w...as my first vehicle accident. However, I wanted to let you know that Melanie and her staff handled my claim with the utmost professionalism and genuine concern for myself. Personally, I think because of Melanie's complete understanding of the judicial sytem we were able to win my case. I sincerely hope that I never need to call your firm again because I would not like to be involved in another accident, BUT if I am, then you own the first firm I would call (and would recommend to anyone) in case I was involved in an accident. Thank you very much for taking on my claim and I wish nothing but the best for yourself and your law firm. Very respectfully, Christopher Bashaw
