I had the pleasure of working with Zak Drabczyk on a sensitive legal matter recently. I was so impressed with his legal knowledge, calm and professional demeanor, and his pleasant and caring nature. He is outstanding and I highly recommend him! - SAH
After being turned down by two other firms, I was greatly relieved when Jenny M. Anton agreed to take my case. I soon realized she was the perfect attorney for me following my injury. Jenny is smart, persistent and knowledgable. She has always been compassionate, kind, and reassuring. With every twist and turn in the case, she has remained positive, undaunted, and come up with innovative responses. I feel very good about her legal representation of me. Thank you Jenny!
After being in a serious auto accident, we were recommended to reach out to Melissa at Gruel Mills and it was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Not only is she a fierce advocate for her clients, she understands how the systems work and is an excellent communicator and negotiator all around. She is kind and empathetic, and stood as a firewall between the overwhelming insurance company’s pushback and myself, which allowed me to focus on recovery. We never had to question what was going an as she regularly updated us, is quick on her feet with problem solving, and goes above and beyond simply because she cares. I am so grateful to have her by our side during one of the hardest seasons of our life.
Attorney Melissa is top notch! She was recommended by a friend who said “my boss, Melissa” can help you with your injury. From the beginning a year ago Melissa has been kind, compassionate, empathetic, her commitment to me has simply been the best! She also has a great sense of humor! I not only gained an attorney I gained a friend! Highly recommend Melissa at Gruel Mills. Thank you Melissa and Gruel Mills for everything you have done!
My daughter was just walking home from a friend's house in our neighborhood when a dog suddenly bit through her hand. The bite was bad enough, but the hardest part was what happened next...the owners said, "oh..You're ok. you're ok." and then hurried away from my crying little girl. Once she was taken care of, the logistics of managing insurance, the bills, and process was overwhelming. We were being bullied by multiple institutions. The Humane Society pointed us to Melissa at Gruel Mills, and that was the best referral we could have gotten. From the start, Melissa outlined the path forward and the steps...exactly what needed to happen with bills, insurance, therapy, treatment, negotiations process and what we could expect. The best part: we didn't have to handle any of the logistics. She'd take care of all of it and keep us informed at each step. There was no hourly charge or bills from Gruel Mills. They were partners with us to get this taken care of. After we settled the case, what stood out the most was how much Melissa fought for us, maintained consistent communication even during massive insurance pushback, and balanced the genuine care for our daughter. The check-in's, updates, never left us wondering what was going on. If you want someone who is both sharp and compassionate, someone you can actually trust to get the job done, I recommend Melissa without hesitation.
