My cousin was in a terrible accident. I helped her find a lawyer who could fight for her. All the way through (three and 1/2 years) he kept us informed on how the case was progressing. No one in our family had ever been involved in an accident like this. He gave us excellent advice. WE WON, thanks to Bob. We are very happy.

We presented Bob with a case that's typically difficult to win, but he expertly and calmly guided us through the high-stakes and emotionally-charged matter. Throughout the case, there was never a doubt in our mind that Bob took our situation personally and gave us the best possible advice. He was patient, persistent and honest with us from beginning to end, building a case that resulted in the best possible outcome for our family. We couldn't have asked for a better advisor or partner.

Mr. Jones was a God send to myself and my family. Legal cases are difficult on anyone, but he made us feel comfortable and well prepared for what we were facing. His knowledge, expertise and caring demeanor helped us guide us to a positive outcome. We were fortunate enough to have him represent us, and we would recommend his services without any hesitation.

Bob Jones has become a friend as well as a counselor during his able representation following an auto accident which resulted in surgery and extensive physical therapy. He is an active listener, knowledgeable about the law and the adversarial nature of insurance companies and Medicare, works with an exceptional staff, and exhibits the highest ethical and moral standards, which combined to provide what I regard as a fair and just settlement. Thank you, Bob and paralegal, Tracy!

Bob is tremendously competent, well-versed in insurance lingo, and has many years of experience handling vehicular accidents and related lawsuits. He is warm and kind, thoughtful and considerate. He ensures client comfort and convenience. He took all the pressure and stress of dealing with the insurance companies off our shoulders. He did visits, emails, calls-- anything we needed in order to feel comfortable. He ensured that we received all the benefits and payouts for which we were entitled.

Bob made us feel more like friends than clients. He showed great personal interest in our situation and gave us more helpful advice for seeking medical help than our doctors had. He listened to our words, was understanding, and always took time to explain the law and the way the legal system works.
We would never hesitate to recommend Robert or his firm to anyone.

Mr. Jones was polite and professional. He was very kind to me and understanding of my physical difficulties related to the car accident. I never felt that he was rushed or pushed me into anything. He explained in a way that I could easily understand, answered emails almost immediately, made phone calls when he said he would, was a profound help coping with the insurance companies. He even capped the amount of money that he would accept for payment. I am extremely glad that I chose him.
