Donald Steven Sjaarda

In April 2012, I was in a nasty car accident on the 22. My chiropractor, who was treating me for back injuries from the accident, recommended I get a lawyer to help me deal with auto insurance issues, and he referred me to Donald Sjaarda. He described Mr. Sjaarda as "honest and ethical," two traits w...hich are very important to me. I'm very glad I followed my chiropractor's advice! I left Mr. Sjaarda a voicemail explaining my situation, and he called me back right away and made an appointment to meet me. His calm demeanor put me at ease, and I felt so relieved to hand over the responsibility of dealing with the auto insurance company of the man who hit me. He did a great job and managed to get the insurance company to compensate me fully and fairly. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good, honest, and ethical lawyer!

Finally time to close up and go home. My husband has dinner waiting and one of our favorite TV programs is on tonight. It is only 1.5 miles from work to home - I don't make it. Instead I take out part of a block wall, the paramedics place a hard, very uncomfortable neck brace on me and they pull m...e out of my now wrecked car on a board and strap me down and rush me with sirens screaming to UCI Trauma Center. At the hospital they cut my clothes off and start the blood work, the questions and many tests. I've had a concussion. I'm dazed and confused. I'm badly bruised and sore and I'm very, very scared. This was not the evening I had planned! However, life happens and this hit and run accident started the process that brought me to Don Sjaarda's office. Don held my hand when needed. He informed and guided and directed me through every step of dealing with the insurance company. He was always available. Without Don's involvement I know my case would not have gone as well as it did. I am thankful and appreciative that Don Sjaarda was my attorney - working to help me and my case.

Mr. Sjaarda, did an outstanding job in handling our personal injury accident caused by a big rig truck. Mr. Sjaarda was very responsive with transparent communication throughout the litigation of the case. Mr. Sjaarda was extremely thorough and his knowledge and skill were instrumental in obtaining... a very favorable settlement. Overall the quality of his service produced the great results we obtained.

Don Sjaarda carried my personal injury claim to a successful conclusion. I was interviewed briefly when I first called. I met with this attorney to provide facts and an accident report; and he explained all of his forms and my ultimate costs. Mr Sjaarda took photos of my injuries and explained his... plan of action. I was informed in a very cordial fashion of ongoing events and benchmark events. Though our activity was of a business nature, I felt as if I was a well liked relative or a family friend.
