Hire Jeff!

At the end of January 2020 I was involved in a car accident which damaged my neck. I started seeking treatment for my neck pain and was not really able to get a result then the pandemic happened and everything closed down. It took me several years of treatment. It was about a 2 which was enough and n...ot back to normal but I still had residual pain. I was still riding my bicycle skiing and doing whatever I could to have fun so I wouldn’t remember pain, and in the course I got injured again on my lower leg and elbow. This case was complicated enough on his own with just the COVID-19 restrictions, but adding additional injuries to my lower extremities, made it really complicated. Jeff was recommended to me by a family member. I hired Jeff immediately at the beginning of the case and I could definitely say that Jeff was the best decision. There were so many things which went wrong with this case the law firm was opposing us. Jeff’s brother worked at the firm then the apposing attorney in case died after depositions. Finally, after three years, I was able to get relief from the court. Only because I had Jeff’s help without Jeff‘s help I could not have got the resolution with my case at all. I recommend Jeff very highly.

Lawyer hires Jeff

I am a practicing attorney who went to law school with Jeff. When I was seriously injured in accident, I knew I didn't want to represent myself even though I handle asbestos injury claims. (A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.) I called Jeff and I am glad I did. He's the best ...personal injury lawyer I know (not including me!) Absolutely dogged in pursuing your claim.

Highly Recommend

After I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle I took the time to interview several lawyers. In the interim we turned to Jeff to settle a case where my wife's car had been hit from behind while stopped at an intersection. In my wife's case Jeff was quite knowledgeable, compassionate and effici...ent in obtaining information, submitting claims and dealing with a rather contentious at fault insurance company from whom he obtained a very equitable outcome. When I had completed treatment for injuries sustained in my bicycle accident I hired Jeff to handle the case from the beginning. In the course of obtaining records, submitting the claim and dealing with the at fault insurance company he obtained the best possible outcome that we could have hoped for while keeping me informed and in the loop through the entire process. While working on my case Jeff displayed an exceptional ability to listen to us and then describe the possible solutions and laws that dictate these outcomes. Highly recommend!!

Not just for "big" cases

I found Jeffrey Herman to be a capable and strong advocate for my small, personal injury case. From the beginning, he let me know he was with me. Not just that he would take my case, but that he understood and empathized with what I was going through. It was also helpful to know he is a contingen...cy-based attorney so there was some validation in knowing he was willing to take the "risk". Mr. Herman is very knowledgeable and often cites legalities or situations from past cases he's worked on - some of them quite severe. While some may question why Mr. Herman does this, I found it very helpful. It directly illustrates how well-versed he is in the law and personal injury. It also shows his willingness to fight for his clients. I want to note that I gave Mr. Herman an "average" for "Keep me Informed" but that was NOT due to any lack of communication from him. Instead, his communication with me was as expected, so average. One cannot realistically expect an attorney to contact them every time they think about one's case. Mr. Herman contacted me as necessary to discuss appropriate details of my case. No more and no less. Finally, Mr. Herman is a personable attorney but don't let that fool you! I personally witnessed him assert our position in a respectful but no-nonsense way. While Mr. Herman is approachable and considerate of his clients, he's got the bark and bite to work on their behalf.
