Josh was my lawyer, and he stayed on top of all my medical needs. He helped me with worker's compensation insurance to get my surgery done on time, along with my rehabilitation treatments. When settling the claim, Josh helped me by telling me to keep records of what I needed for the settlement. Josh cared about how I was doing and pushed to get the best settlement he could for me. Josh is A1 in my book. I would highly recommend Josh at O'Neal Law Firm. THANK YOU, JOSH.

I had a fantastic experience with the O'Neil Law Firm. Ryne "Josh" Kochan did a wonderful job serving my needs in an insurance dispute. Josh was prompt and timely and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely hire the O'Neil Law Firm again!
