Client

Mr Bartek was acceptional in his investigation, research and compilation of evidence in my case. I had a career ending collision in 2016 that totalled my vehicle and resulted in hospitalization with a permanent injury. Previous injury complicated the case but, Mr. Bartek's diligence, dedication, an...d independent medical councils made the difference. He and his people were thorough, professional, and took a great deal of the fear and insecurity out of the legal process. I was informed and supported and have come away with a healthy settlement and huge respect for Mr Bartek and his team.

Simply the best!!!

If you want a really good lawyer, with your best interest, then attorney Joe Bartak is your man. I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident, and my friend recommended Joe Bartak to me. I got to say I never had any good experience with lawyers in the past, but Joe Bartak was so thorough, he... got me the maximum $500,000 I could get. Thank you Joe Bartak, it was a pleasure to work with you.

A wonderful attorney

Joe Bartek is an experienced attorney that pays attention to details. My case was extended and appeared to be complex and Joe Bartek covered all the bases. Joe is a very caring and just attorney. Joe had the experience to maintain and produce the results with an equitable and favorable outcome. A ...very honest and capable attorney. I would highly recommend Joe Bartek as an attorney that knows his field well.

An Experienced and Caring Advocate in a Time of Need

I decided to work with Joe after asking two attorneys I trusted for a recommendation. Both of them gave me the same name: Joseph Bartek. It was a great comfort to know that Joe was seeing to all the complicated red tape and communication required by insurance agencies when I was least able to hand...le such tasks. He acted on problems quickly and efficiently and was always available by phone or email to answer any questions I had. And he was always genuinely concerned for my welfare. Joe also negotiated a satisfactory settlement on my behalf, bringing his long years of experience and a keen sense of justice to his work.

Trustworthy

Our case was a nursing home medical malpractice lawsuit. We found Joe Bartek to be a tough, honest, respected, hardworking, and thorough attorney. He showed much compassion toward his client; her health was always his first concern. Joe won her case and even though the case is now over, he still call...s to see how she is. So in retrospect...yes, we would definitely hire him as our attorney again.

He is willing to take whatever time and effort is required to best represent his clients. If he says that he will do something he will do it and he will not commit to something he cannot do.
