Joel D Sturm

I was referred to David Eder and his firm. I had a consultation with another firm, but ultimately circled back to David to be my lawyer. I am so glad I did. I was a passenger in a severe car crash accident and there were a lot of complicating factors. David and his partners (Andrew, Ben and Joel) wor...ked incredibly hard advocating on my behalf. They care so much about their clients and are unbelievably effective lawyers!

I’ve known Joel since I got in my accident in April of 2022. The chiropractic office that I was going to pushed me to call him emphasizing that he would make sure I was taken care of - and they were completely right. The impact of my accident added so much stress to my already stressful life as a sin...gle, working mom who was in school at the time and is now a 1st grade teacher. I felt like I had been spread way too thin and was so grateful to have someone managing my case. He has always been communicative about next steps, responsive when I needed to get ahold of him, understanding when I myself wasn’t great at communicating, and he really fought for me. When the accident happened I didn’t know what to expect in terms of how much money I would be awarded. I did endure a lot of pain and suffering in life because of it, and I do have permanent damage in my spine, but I didn’t expect much to come from it. He got me more than I could have ever imagined. And it started from them offering relatively nothing. Joel has a strong knowledge about how the system works and uses that knowledge to negotiate and continue pushing for his clients. I and my family are forever grateful to Joel and his team for his empathy, continued support, and diligence. I am so thankful that I listened to the advice that brought me to him. If you decide to hire Joel to represent your case, I am excited for you. It was one of the best choices I’ve made.

I was rear ended in a motor vehicle accident in December of 2021 and suffered a neck injury. I tried months of physical therapy and eventually connected with Joel Sturm and TUE. I can not even begin to describe the level of effort and concern they put into my case. Joel was present at doctors appoint...ments, he constantly checked on me. The thing he said over and over was "Let's get it fixed, we can worry about other stuff later." The decision to eventually undergo surgery was left to me, and what I thought was best with the advice of the doctors. There was no talk of money and no pressure to settle the claim quickly. It eventually concluded in November of 2023. When it came time to take care of things Joel did an AMAZING job. I just stayed out of his way and let him use his expertise. When he called me to tell me what the settlement was, I didn't believe him. I thought he was pulling my leg. I made him repeat it three times. The job that Joel and TUE did was incredible. I wish the accident had not happened because of the pain and suffering that it caused. Even with physical rehab and surgery I am going to have some soreness and stiffness in my neck for the rest of my life, but because of the accident I met Joel and I am so grateful to him because he worked so hard to represent me and my interests. It was a blessing that I got connected with Joel and TUE.

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.

My brother and I were riding in a Lyft when our car was hit by a tow truck. We needed help navigating insurance, medical coverage and medical care. We were in pain, we needed help and Joel was our answer. We are so thankful we found an attorney like Joel Sturm. He came highly recommended by a fr...iend. We knew immediately he was on our side when we had our initial meeting. Since then, he fought for us every step of the way and was able to get us a great return on our case even though we were dealing with companies that didn’t want listen or care to pay a dime. You need someone in your corner like Joel if your case is big or small. He was kind, attentive and direct. We would have been in huge trouble with the amount of medical charges owing on our case. Joel explained every part of the process and made sure all our medical charges were taken care of. We can’t tell you what comfort it was to know he was on our team, and relief that he took on this burden for us. Don’t wait to give Joel a call on your injury claim and get the help you might not even realize you need. You will be so happy you did!
