Bike V Car Door

Jesse has a phenomenal balance of assertiveness and strength along with warmth and approachability (to his clients). He's a real person, and will talk to you like you are too. I had come from a very bad experience of being belittled and ignored with a previous lawyer. I told Jesse that I had some... trust issues and was anxious- that I really needed things explained to me. He took time with me before arbitration and assured me that if I didn't feel ready- he would pospone it. He was very compassionate, and never condescending about my lack of knowledge. I disagreed with him once about an interpretation of my case. What I was most impressed by was his quick response to look into it. Once he did, he came back and agreed with me and fixed the issue immediately. I felt listened to, validated, and cared for. He helped wrap my case up in a few months after my previous lawyer had strung it along for over 2.5 years. We haven't wrapped up the medical bills yet- but Jesse assured me that he will do everything he can to negotiate those down. I trust that he will.

Responsible, hardworking, aggressive and great personality.

I was injured on a motorcycle (not at fault) and the insurance adjuster kept offering me far less than the damage to my body dictated. After months of hagling with this guy I called Jesse. He was in control from day 1 and kept the opposing insurance law team insecure and on their heels by bringing me... to the best specialists in the medical field with expertise in my type of injury. They reviewed my case, examined the damage, and made assesments of the severity and long range implications of the damage. Jesse always kept me abreast of the situation and where we were in the case until the insurance co. realized it was time to financially make things right. Through Jesse's tenacity and insatiable drive to get his client taken care of I was able to receive exactly what I felt was a fair settlement. The settlement was far above the offers from the insurance adjusters initial ridiculously low offer.
