Losing a loved one because of someone else’s careless or wrongful actions is an unimaginable hardship.

Looked over a contract for me. Was very professional and timely. Thanks George!

Chase Thomason

George and Jeri were incredible. I was riding my bike and was hit by a car and broke my back and had a TBI. I was so overwhelmed, but trying to do it all myself so I could get enough to cover my bills. I was getting the run around. When I finally called George and Jeri, and handed it over to them, not only was it a huge relief, they got everything I was entitled to, and faster than I expected. They also dealt with all the medical people and the insurance companies entirely—I didn’t have to worry. I never could have done all of this without them and I firmly believe I recovered faster because I had them. Every penny was worth it.

Sherie Christensen

George (& Geri) have repeatedly bested my expectations. After a car accident they took the majority of the pressure off so I could focus on getting the treatments I needed & work on getting better. They dealt with health insurance, auto insurance, auto repair, the other party insurance, the hospitals, clinics, doctors, Physical therapists, and follow through with all the documentation. They navigated me through difficult times and helped me get the best financial compensation possible. They are a small yet powerful team & without hesitation I recommend them!
