I wanted to thank you for all the hard work that you have done to help settle my case. When I first called, I was hurt both physically and mentally from the trauma of my car accident. Over three years and several surgeries later, your office's support and determination truly made a difference and I was able to focus on getting better. Thank you for working so very hard on my behalf. I couldn’t have asked for a better team on my side!!! I will recommend your office to anyone and everyone for years to come.
Dear Rick, Just wanted to spend a minute and write you regarding the nice experience I had dealing with your law firm. During the legal filings, depositions, and general administration of the case I was always well informed, and always received well with any questions I had regarding the case. Your team was always professional and efficient; yet spending time to explain the current situation. Obviously, you have a great supporting staff which reflects the current popularity and success of your firm. Lastly, and of most importance, I wish to thank you for your professional handing of my case, and for the very substantial cash settlement that resulted from your efforts. I am currently renovating an old tenant house on the farm which will be completed in a secure financial environment, thanks to you. Again, thanks Rick, you made my case an easy transition to settlement.
I arrived at the Jaklitsch Law Group shaken, uncertain and in pain when I met the attorneys that would represent me. They walked me through options and details that they believed would provide me with a better quality of life based on my injuries. Throughout the case, they were there assisting my every need, calling and checking on me and ensuring that I was comfortable. Jaklitsch Law Group has professional, conscientious and dependable staff and I have recommended several persons to their practice and will continue to do so.
There isn't any words to describe Rick until you get the pleasure of meeting him. Trust me if you need a lawyer you can talk to and put all your trust in and feel like your talking to a family member then make Rick your attorney. He will never make you feel second best. Rick will fight to win you your case. He will be right there for you Regardless of your situation. Rick has always been straight forward and always will be. Thanks Rick for all you do. God Bless.

JLG is a very special group. A few years ago, my car was totaled on the Baltimore Beltway and I sustained injuries. My first call was to my parents to tell them I was okay, and my second call was to Rick. Rick not only guided me through the process but was an incredible sounding board for all the nervous questions I had. With JLG’s assistance, the situation was far less burdensome. I will never forget how JLG helped me and they will always be the second call. Call the Big Dogs, you won’t regret it.
