Client Reviews

"It is with great pleasure I forward this letter to your office giving thanks to you and all the people at Wisner Baum from our family.

Since my brother’s aircraft accident, the whole family has been traumatized by the ordeal. We had a choice of who to select to represent [my brother] and I’m glad we chose your firm for the following reasons:

• You initially furnished us important information which helped us make a decision and indicated to us that you were professionally prepared, and had the contacts and resources to pursue this case to conclusion;
• You immediately realized that my involvement in the case was important and the fact that I would be by my brother’s side in the hospital for however long it took to resolve the case would facilitate our efforts.

Your staff of real compassionate human beings were very kind to us all. You treated us like brothers and sisters and whenever we ran into a problem, you always resolved it. You, of course, were sensitive enough to know what the emotional impact on the family was like. In addition, I might mention that the accident occurred in August, and we had a settlement by November the following year. We all know why. You prepared such a strong case that the defendants were eager to settle this matter.

In closing, I would like to say that I don’t know everyone at the office personally but if there is anything I can do for anyone, please don’t hesitate to call me. Give all the girls a hug from us and all the guys a pat on the back. We love you all."

"During the last four years, we have been represented by this law firm in our efforts to bring legal resolution against FORD Motor Co. and others, concerning the death of our daughter. She was killed in the 14 May 1988 Kentucky bus wreck as a result of an unsafe product that we believed was constructed without any concern for safety by the builders.

Within four weeks FORD settled on their own terms with 53 of the 55 families involved, leaving only us and one other family to fight the battle. We were told that no law firm would/could fight the FORD giant with only one or two clients. After talking to over 30 law firms we asked this firm to represent us in our legal effort.

During these four years, we have been more than satisfied with our dealings with both our lawyer individually and the law firm generally. In a short letter, it is not possible to condense four years into words; however, the experiences below may communicate our true satisfaction during this very difficult period.

• Our attorney became a friend who on several occasions placed our needs above profit for the law firm.
• He and his firm have become involved and have heavily invested both their time and money in improving school bus safety.
• He has been totally honest and bad news was communicated as quickly as good news.
• He never broke his word and what he said was better than a written contract.
• Communications were excellent using the firm’s toll-free number.
• This firm and our lawyer work super with other individuals, experts, and law firms.
• Without any reservation whatsoever, we most highly recommend this law firm and believe they will serve any client with the same commitment, honesty, dedication, and hard work that we experienced.

This firm’s effort during the past four years deserves and demands the highest recommendation for your consideration."

"I have given a lot of thought to how to say “thank you.” Nothing special enough comes to mind so here I am writing a standard thank-you note. However, this thank-you is anything but standard.

Our 3 ½ years together has been a lifetime to me and a life-line. While pounding away with all the legal issues you never seemed to lose track of the real people in those issues. I know what your jobs were but I feel you went deeper than was required.

Jack’s shoulder’s grew bigger and bigger just to handled people like me who needed to be heard over and over! Thank you, Jack. Paul, I loved being around you. You are so bright but still with a sense of humor. Thank you for your leadership.

Recognizing that the airline’s attention would not happen with my tears and grief—it had to happen within the legal system, was a big step for me. I can only hope and pray that we helped bring notice to a very serious issue!

Clark and John, I want to thank you for being there with answers to so many questions. I never felt put off by any of this team.

Thank you.

My love and gratitude to you."

"When our son was killed there was a deep darkness in our lives. There is a void of loving friendship and compassion of a child that can never be replaced. Our hearts will be forever broken.

When your brochure arrived, a very close attorney friend of ours reviewed the material and he was very impressed by your knowledge of accidents related to trucking, railroad, and airlines. He assured us that your firm was a very excellent choice and he recommended you highly.

Understanding the tragedy of this accident and the gross disregard of human life helped us believe in your ability to deliver a fair settlement.

Within the weeks, months, and years that followed it turned out that we knew our decision was correct. Paul Hedlund visited our home in Iowa and very clearly outlined the legal opinions for us to consider. There were some very difficult problems in our case. Our son was a grad student living in Wisconsin. He was killed in Newton, Iowa. We reside in Iowa. The trailer involved originated its trip near Chicago, and the corporation that owned the trailer headquarters was in Bakersfield, California. Due to all of these circumstances, Wisner Baum urged us to file the lawsuit in Illinois, resulting in the federal court in Chicago . . .

During the course of time, letters, materials, and such about our son were maintained and a very cordial working relationship with everyone involved.

Wisner Baum and staff became part of our family and we still communicate with cards, letters, and phone calls. This relationship will never end. Our settlement by mediation was fair and equitable. Wisner Baum did their best for us.

We have the utmost respect for Wisner Baum’s integrity, legal knowledge, and true caring to bring this tragic event to a closure. We would highly recommend their firm to anyone and would be happy to receive calls on their behalf."
