Best decision I ever made

Last March my husband broke his wrist in a motorcycle accident...9 screws and a plate later, we were being hounded by insurance companies and hospitals. When these things happen, the bills are kind of a mess - He had been to the ER, an ambulance, three different hospitals for treatment and surgery, ...and physical therapy. These all come with different bills and different accounts. It's a huge headache. I came across The Reinecke law firm website and we had a consultation with Mr.Reinecke himself. Mr. Reinecke accepted our case and from that point forward he was the point person for all calls, bills, questions and it was such a relief. My husband and I felt like it was all being handled and we could concentrate on his recovery and getting back to work. He was very knowledgeable about the process, clearly answered all of our questions, and took care of EVERYTHING. Highly recommended if you ever find yourself in this unfortunate situation!

Best motorcycle lawyer

I have been through 2 motorcycle cases with Tom. He's come up on top with both of them. One of the two cases were extreamly difficult but he kept fighting for me even when I thought we were done for. He is extreamly knowlegeable and gets information to me right away.

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.
