Dear Joe,

Just wanted to write a note to say thank you for all of your help during my case.  I know you probably would say you were just doing your job, but for someone like me, who was hurt and confused, your help was invaluable.  You went above and beyond by helping me with maintenance, health insurance challenges, and anything else that came up and I had questions about.  You helped me understand what my rights were and not only what was legal, but what was fair.  You let me know what to expect in each step in the process and often before something happened. Thank you so much for all of your help.

Yours,

Tiffany


Dear Joe, Jim and Jake:

Thank you for your hard work on my case.  Kris and I are very happy with the jury’s verdict – it was more than I thought we would get.  I can now rest easier knowing that my family will be provided for.  I don’t know exactly what I will be able to do for work at this point, but my mind is at ease now that the case is over and you got such a great result.

If I could tell others like me who have been seriously injured, I would tell them to make sure to get the right lawyers at the beginning of their case.  As you know, we first hired an inexperienced lawyer who just did not understand the real value of my case.  Thankfully, we changed lawyers to your firm and received justice from the jury.

Thanks again.

                                                Sincerely,

                                                Darren
