Joel D Sturm

“While I hope you never need a personal injury attorney, if you do, I highly recommend Thuemmel, Uhle & Eder. Joel was our attorney, and the team at TU&E including Ben, David and Andrew as well as the staff, Amanda and Jaida were all great at communicating and above all I appreciated the team becau...se they treated me with respect in navigating a complex case. I had a positive settlement result and it was above expectations. If you are looking for a team that will treat you with respect, act with integrity and professionalism, stop looking and give Thuemmel, Uhle &Eder a call immediately. I first entered their office bearing serious MVA injuries. I had no idea what was in store, and as time went on it was determined that I was unable to continue in my field (construction). This brought about a whole new series of worries about the financial future of my family, but I always went back to what Joel told me at the first meeting, “ your job is to get well and relax, my job is to make sure you obtain just compensation for the accident.” I did exactly that, and I just sat back, let them to do their part(s) while I did mine, and they literally changed our lives. The doctors said I’d never again be able to return to work, and the team at Thuemmel, Uhle & Eder made it so I never HAVE to. Eternal thanks to all of you…I can not thank you enough.

My husband and I were rear-ended on a road trip in 2022. The accident was caused by another, and we were completely innocent of responsibility. Our car was totaled, and both of us needed many chriopractic adjustments. We've been married over 55 years and never once consulted an attorney for anyt...hing. Because of the extent of our injuries, our the chriopractor encouraged us to seek professional advice from an attorney. He referred us to Joel. All we can say is a great big THANK YOU. Joel was very attentive to our issues and followed through with settlements for both of us that we could never have achieved on our own. In addition to his professional care, we made a friend. Joel was kind, personable, extremely knowledgeable and very thorough in getting us a settlement. Hopefully, we will not need his services again. But if we do or if we have friends who need an attorney, it will be a referral we make with great pleasure. Thank you again David and Kathy Slamp Vancouver, WA

I read good reviews about the lawyers at Thuemmel Uhle and Eder. Honestly, it’s hard to know based on reviews if the lawyers good or not. In retrospect, I wish I had hired Thuemmel Uhle and Eder right after the accident. I waited because I thought I didn’t need a lawyer. I was rear ended. It was...n’t my fault. But the other driver’s insurance company was not even willing to pay all of my medical bills. I would have never guessed that I needed lawyers ready to take my case to trial, but that’s what happened. Ben, Joel, David and Andrew clearly cared about my case. My lawyers put in hours of time with me to get me ready. We had meetings during the week and on weekends. Despite all the attention on my case, I was nervous about going to trial. At trial Ben and Joel were confident, calm and collected. They were engaging with the jury. In comparison, the insurance defense lawyer seemed flustered and didn’t seem as prepared. When I testified, it felt like I was having a conversation with Ben. He made me feel at ease as he guided through the accident and how it affected my life. My fiancé felt the same way when he testified. Joel’s cross examination of the insurance defense’s orthopedic surgeon was like a masterclass in medicine. The lawyers at Thuemmel Uhle and Eder were honest, experienced and backed up their reputation in and out of the courtroom. They have so much trial experience it was like they could see things before it happened. There always seemed to be a plan in place. I don’t think I would have won without fantastic lawyers in my corner. In addition to being wonderful lawyers, they were also wonderful people. I highly recommend all the lawyers in the firm.

Initially, I was working with a different firm in Portland after my car crash. I was a bit unhappy about the communication so decided to part ways and find a different firm to work with. I spoke to some doctors about what was going on and they suggested I call David Eder at Thuemmel Uhle & Eder. When... David met with me, he instantly had a plan. I knew I had made the right decision to switch. Within a few months, my entire case had been turned around. I know David, Andrew, Ben and Joel (all partners at the firm) worked extensively setting up consultations with my medical providers and setting my case up correctly. At the end, I am walking away with 9 times what the first firm told me was their target goal. I was in disbelief and knew that my decision to work with David and his Partners was the right one. I would encourage anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident to call Thuemmel Uhle & Eder. They will ensure that you are taken care of properly.

After not one, but TWO collisions, I found myself in need of surgery on my neck. I needed help navigating the complexity of negotiating two claims at one time with insurance companies that placed road blocks at every level. I am beyond grateful that I was referred to Joel Sturm at Thuemmel Uhle and... Eder. For 4 years, through a pandemic delay, Joel never quit fighting for me on my case. He was always there to promptly answer any questions I had along the way. He was knowledgeable and skilled at every phase of the claim all the way through mediation and ultimately a very large settlement. Even our mediator was impressed by the final settlement. I would absolutely recommend Joel and the others on his team, David, Ben and Andrew, to represent anyone who has been injured. I couldn’t have done this without them. In a world where insurance companies prey on those overwhelmed by logistics, these guys will have your back. I sing their praises and highly recommend to everyone I know.
