Great Attorney

I was standing on a street corner when a truck jumped the curb, and knocked me unconscious. I had never been involved in litigation before, and I was extremely nervous for my deposition, but Mr. Tomasik walked me through the process every step of the way, and settled my case. Mr. Tomasik is a very tr...ustworthy attorney, and I still keep in touch with him today. I would recommend Mr. Tomasik’s services to anyone

My injury was hell, but Mr. Tomasik brought some light.

I came to Mr. Tomasik having had unsatisfactory experiences with three attorneys. The first attorney, I waited two weeks for a paralegal that they assigned that never arrived. The second attorney prejudged my case without listening to my situation, and was only interested in the fees and not my injur...y. The third attorney wanted to get me a "quick settlement" without hearing my story. So finding Mr. Tomasik, experiencing his personal touch, and professional concern and care, was just what I needed. I had complete trust in Mr. Tomasik, and after a long fight with the insurance company, he came through with a million dollar settlement. Since he had handled another Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy case before, he realized that I had that disease before my surgeon told me I had it. English is my second language, so Mr. Tomasik came with me to several doctors appointments to help me understand the medical issues. Mr. Tomasik was clever enough to get an "Advance Payment" from the insurance company before the final settlement, and then he was kind enough to delay repayment of his litigation costs so I could buy a house for my daughter and I. He really knows Uninsured Motorist law, so he really taught the insurance company attorney a few things. Not only is Mr. Tomasik a great attorney, but he is a great person as well. I give Mr. Tomasik my highest recommendation!

Great Work

I broke my ankle in a slip/fall accident. I talked to a couple of attorneys to see if I could open a claim against the Home Insurance Company that covers the house where I had the accident. They say No, because my case was not strong. I contacted Mr. Tomasik, explained the situation, and he took my c...ase, even when some of his collegues told him not to ( I learned this later during the process). Lucky for me. He initiated negotiations. He was in constant comunication with me letting me know the status of my case. He and his assistent, Jessie, were there every single time I had a question. He worked hard and agressively during the negotiations until he got the best possible deal for me. Great work. I absolutely recommend the services of Mr. Tomasik, Thank you very much.
