Joel D Sturm

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 injured in a car accident, and I hired a lawyer without any research or knowledge of what to even look for. The experience was terrible, to say the least. I got false information, lost money I didn’t have and wasted a lot of time with a lot of added stress because I couldn’t get any answers o...r help. I was lucky enough to know someone else who was already going through the legal process with Attorney David Eder. My conversation with them is what also made me realize I was completely with the wrong firm. I was grateful my case hadn’t already closed and reached out to David. He spent time with me on the phone and in person walking me through everything and answering questions so simply, questions I had been asking the old attorney for the last 1.5yrs! So I switched over to David Eder. David and his partners (Ben Eder, Joel Sturm and Andrew Gust) took over my case and got everything in order. They were able to get the case out of a frozen position into double limits and my health insurance bills were waived. The difference between the first firm and these guys was night and day. I wish I had found them sooner, but I am so blessed to have found them before it was too late! Thank you!

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 was referred to Thuemmel Uhle & Eder by another law firm. The lawyers at TU&E are experienced. The lawyers handle the legal work, not paralegals. They answer emails. They take phone calls. They meet to go over the pros and cons of my case, including the medical options. Nothing was rushed. T...hey strategically fought the negligent driver's insurance company and then systematically grinded away at my underinsured motorist carrier.

In December, 2019, I was rear-ended by a large utility vehicle and had to be taken to the ER by ambulance. I had a concussion, a jaw injury and symptoms of vertebrae injury. My car was totaled. The next day, uncertain of how to proceed, I called Joel Sturm, a lawyer I knew through my work. He was imm...ediately responsive and met with me to hear more about my situation and discuss how he could help. He was warm, friendly and personable, and I felt relieved to have someone navigating insurance company hassles, and making sure I got the medical care I needed. My medical rehab took a long time, and on one occasion Joel met with a consulting doctor to discuss the case. When my medical was complete, the insurance company lawyers demanded a deposition to interview me. Joel, and his partners Ben and David Eder, sat with me ahead of time and educated me so that I was fully prepared for that deposition. Afterwards Joel negotiated with the attorneys for the insurance companies, and did a masterful job of laying out the consequences of them not agreeing to settle for the maximum amount of money possible. They agreed to pay the full limits of the policies which was gratifying to me in that it was fair, and it acknowledged the permanent physical damage with which I live. Joel, Ben and David are very experienced at depositions and trials and I would absolutely put my confidence in them again. I highly recommend them for their professionalism, expertise and kindness.
