Tried calling for help with obtaining a lawyer for some stuff accident related. Whoever answered the phone was horribly rude. Treated me like a “little women”. Got super annoyed when I tried explaining what was going on (after he made an assumption on why I was calling, and I tried explaining that he was wrong on what I was calling for) all while huffing and puffing the entire time. Disgusting behavior. Maybe I should have had a man call for me.

My particular case took a long time to off the desk of the insurance company but Jim was diligent and tenacious while exercising patience and experience for the long haul and a positive outcome in my favor. I enjoyed working with him and his down to earth demeanor and no nonsense communication, he is not only a great lawyer but from what I could see a great person as well! I would definitely recommend his services!

After being unable to retain an attorney for over a year after a work related personal injury Jim reviewed the medical documentation and took the case. Jim provided open communication and was quick to return emails and phone calls throughout the process. While the complexities of the case hindered a more desirable settlement, Jim worked diligently to provide the best possible outcome. Thanks Jim!

It is never too late to give a big thank you to Attorney Giffels. I came to him through the reviews I read about him and even with my language impediment, since my native language is Spanish, he had no restrictions on attending to me and taking my case. I always felt his support, confidence and I knew that no matter how much time passed, he would continue to fight for my case. The results were not what I expected, but it was not his fault, rather it was the fault of the system and the other party being sued, but even so; I am infinitely grateful to him for supporting, considering, and helping me in this process. I recommend the lawyer 1000 percent, and I urge my community to go to him when you find yourself in a similar situation, since you will find the support and the answer you want to hear.

Don’t call them. They will basically hang up on you after saying “all I’m doing are automobile accidents these days”.
Owner response
Hello there. I do indeed tell people early on in our conversation that I am focusing my practice to automobile accident injury cases these days. I do this to be up front and honest with people seeking advice on thier legal predicament. I do not want to waste your time if I cannot help you. I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful and I am sorry if I might have came off in that manner. Please accept my apologies, but understand that I am trying to avoid people sharing personal and often private details when I will not be able to assist them. Please contact me directly at 269-377-8770 (my cellphone) to discuss further. Thanks, Jim

I found this lawyer as an answer to prayer, after a terrible accident where I live, left me injured and traumatized. From the very beginning, I trusted him, and I was not disappointed. He handled my case not only with empathy and support, but also with professionalism and expertise. I am truly grateful that my case was resolved out of court, avoiding further damage, stress, and trauma along with a lengthy and expensive litigation. I highly recommend this lawyer and his services.
Owner response
You are too kind Minerva! I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Bless you.

I was so pleased with the time and effort Jim put into my case. He made sure to fight for me in making sure I received compensation to make up for the turmoil I went through in the aftermath of my car accident. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer, as he is kind, professional and has integrity!
Owner response

We worked with Jim for approximately 7 months to get a settlement with the insurance company after our car wreck. Jim kept us informed to the status of our case throughout and got us a settlement that exceeded my expectations. Steven K. Heffner
