The Law Offices of John Eliasik are truly outstanding. The attorneys are aggressive, keep you well informed throughout the entire process, and always strive to secure the highest possible lump-sum settlement. I recommend having patience during the settlement process, as they work diligently to get the best results. You will always be able to speak with someone when you contact the office, and they consistently provide updates on your case. They truly know what they are doing. I was very satisfied with the outcome and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for strong, reliable legal representation. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.
Brian Hercule represented me in my Work Comp case. It took 6 years to settle, but Brian held the other side accountable. I would recommend Eilasik Law and Brian Hercule, in a minute. Just remember, the insurance companies work slow and the Arbitrators/Mediator/Judges work a little slower.
John Eliasik is a liar. Very inconsiderate. NO COMPASSION! Does not answer or returns calls. Completely ignored me. Lied to me several times, including telling me that he spoke to my surgeon & never did. Had me go get my own medical records after having spine surgery because I could “get them faster” even though the case was just beginning. Mislead me for 9 months without me receiving a DIME for my injury. Then told me that I didn’t have a case. If I didn’t have a case, why file a case? Lost my medical insurance at work, NO STD, my job will not talk to me, NO type of worker comp benefits, NOTHING! All because this man told me that l “have a CASE!” Talked to me like I was a criminal fighting a criminal case the whole time. I had to tell him on several occasions “I AM THE VICTIM!”
Owner response
Clyde, as you know, we discussed your case many times. I am sorry that you interpreted the difficulties in your case as me lying to you. I tried to work with you to the best of my ability, but we simply did not communicate well. I hope that you can find another attorney that makes a better fit.
I had to report Mr. Brian C. Hercule to BBB because we hired his services for my 78 year old grandmother. When she received the check from the insurance he told her that he was keeping half the money to cover medical expenses which were a lie. When he realized we found out he claimed that it was an error in the accounts he was forced to give us the correct amount. When looking at the statement only 13% was meant for him not the 50% of the amount received. He had informed us that the check would arrive in a month but delayed handing it over for 4 months, claiming that insurance agency hadn’t given it to him. When handing the check he stole $4,000 from it claiming to have used it for expenses he couldn’t explain. Aside from this he had changed address without notifying his clients ,we had to look for him since he would not answer or return calls. Him and his team are incompetent and not trustworthy.

Natalia, I am sorry that you are unhappy. However, I cannot discuss the details of your grandmother's case here due to attorney/client privilege. I will say that your understanding is incorrect. We asked Nelson, her grandson who brought her in today to pick up her check, if he had any questions or concerns about the settment and he did not. I am more than happy to explain it to you with your grandmother's permission. She is a very nice lady and I want her and your family to be satisfied. Please feel free to call or make an appointment.
John S. Eliasik was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and fought tirelessly for my best interests throughout the entire case. He explained complex legal issues clearly and kept me informed every step of the way, ultimately achieving a positive outcome that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend him to anyone needing legal assistance
I was very satisfied with their service. I felt like they were holding my hand throughout my case. I highly recommend them. They made me feel like part of their family. Very happy with the outcome of my case. Thank you so much!
I was in an accident, and the John S. Eliasik team was very professional and helpful. I'm very grateful for what they did for me every step of the way.
I had a personal situation that occurred years ago. I reached out the law office of John S. Eliasik. Mr Brian Hercules personally got in touch with me and he listen to my situation with empathy and compassion, as the process was moving forward Mr. Brian Hercules committed to honestly transparency and integrity that shows how very hard-working he is and the reputable firm he represents. Thank you
Brian Hercule and The Law Offices of John S. Eliasik lead with professionalism, integrity, and deep knowledge of the legal system. Brian provides well-thought out options and reasoning for what is the best, if any, outcome, for your legal scenario.
Attorney Brian Hercule is fantastic. He is thorough and efficient. He will take the time to explain to you all facets of your case and what to expect as you go through the legal process.
Very poor communication with clients after signing the contract. You feel like they're not supporting you. It's difficult, if not impossible, to speak with the lawyer after signing the contract. I think communication throughout the entire process should be the same as before signing the contract.
