Ronald F. Wittmeyer, Jr.

First I'd like to give a little background about my case. I was transferred here to Chicago in 2009.
I had a slip/fall accident that resulted in my driveway at a quad home association on a unit I was renting. I fractured my knee cap and herniated a disk in my low back.
After contemplating whether to even purse legal action, I was not sure of a good attorney.
I opened the yellow pages and found two high profile lawyers - full page ads, 29 fourth floor offices and the like. After explaining my situation, they were not interested. I was told because slip/fall accidents are very hard to win in court.
I asked one of the high profile lawyers if there is anyone that would even want to look at my case, and I was referred to Mr. Ron Wittmeyer.
I did some research and found that he was not one of these ambulance chasers you see on the Jerry Springer commercials, and gave him a call.
I met with Ron and we discussed my situation. He told me I have a very good case and he was interested in taking it on.
For more reasons than one I am so glad I went with Ron. He is not one of those "stuffy" type lawyers, who make you feel like you’re bothering him any time you have a question.{para}He made me feel like a friend, someone who genuinely cared not just about my case, but about me and my physical well-being.
He always returned my calls promptly, explained things in layman’s terms, not in legal jargon, and he always kept me apprised of the case.{para}Fast forward to settlement day. I was told that these types of cases very rarely get settled out of court and they go to trial. The reason being is that they are very hard to win.
My case went to arbitration. It is my belief that the only reason it went to arbitration and not a hearing was because of Ron’s knowledge and expertise in these types of cases and felt very strongly that we would have a favorable settlement.
At the arbitrators office we had a retired chief judge as our arbitrator. He spoke very bluntly that the cases he heard most ended up losing. Not only do you lose the case but you are responsible for all costs incurred by your lawyer such as calling experts, depositions, filing fees etc.
Now I am getting worried, I may end up owing money!! Ron told me to relax and put my faith in him.{para}To make a long story short the insurance company’s lawyer offered me $15,000; now I am worried. I'm thinking to myself if I can get $30,000.00 I'm running for the door.
Ron said trust me, that figure is unacceptable, time to get to work. By the end of the day we settled with the insurance company for over $250,000.00!!!!!
I just want to say that if it was not for Ron and his team and all of those years of experience and expertise I would have more than likely lost my case.
I cannot thank Ron enough!!! If you need an excellent attorney Ron is your guy! I hope I never have any such type of accident in the future, but I am not erasing him from my contacts list on my phone!

I was a previous client and I retained him for a medical malpractice suit he waited over a year to tell me he was not going to be able to help but please seek further counsel. Right before my statue of Limitations expired..
