Last March, I was involved in a car accident. A friend referred personal injury lawyer Jarrett Schreck to me. After the initial meeting, I was confident Jarrett would act in my best interests in dealing with the insurance companies in seeking a settlement for my personal injury case. Jarrett was easy to talk to and took his time explaining the entire process, time frame and his approach. During the process, his professional demeanor, knowledge and experience were extremely effective in negotiating a favorable settlement. The settlement covered my medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering
