Client Testimonials
Jacob Willoughby and Lauren McLeodJordan was specifically referred to us by a friend of mine. He came to see me at the rehab center I was in at the time. Jordan was very professional and relatable. He is a very friendly and down to earth kind of guy. We were always taken care of if we had questions or concerns. He responded quickly. This was our first time dealing with a situation such as a car accident. We trusted Jordan and felt he was fully capable of taking care of us.

“You can always look at the documents to determine the “what.” But it’s when we begin having conversations and asking questions, that we get to the “why” of a trucker’s actions. Did the truck have an unreasonable schedule? Were they distracted behind the wheel? I’m going to ask and find out for you.”
