A Case Study: Our Work for Attorney Joe Johnson
Attorney Joseph Johnson II of Decatur, Indiana, found himself representing four children whose parents and three siblings were killed in a single-vehicle rollover collision. Having no experience with tread separation cases and knowing that the children’s best interests required that he find someone who did, he hired a well-known tread separation litigation attorney. This attorney withdrew from the case only ten months prior to the trial date. Fortunately, he suggested that Joe contact Mike Stephenson in Shelbyville, Indiana.
Joe took this advice and Mike agreed to take lead with only ten months to put the case together. Johnson describes his experience with Mike and his staff:
“Fortunately for the four children, I was blessed with circumstances that led me to Mike Stephenson. When he got involved there had been very little done, but within a few months he had the case put together and ready to be tried. Mike was extremely thorough and conscientious throughout. He earned the respect of his adversaries who, a short while before trial, made a settlement offer we were very comfortable recommending to the bank that served as guardian over the children’s estates. It was Mike’s hard work, commitment to the case, knowing and doing what had to be done, that brought about this settlement that the children needed and deserved.
I would recommend Mike Stephenson to anyone in need of an attorney. He is skilled, knowledgeable, dedicated and persistent. Except as limited by his professional ethics, honesty, and integrity, he is committed to doing whatever work is needed to bring any case to the best possible conclusion. I have never written a letter such as this before, but because of Mike’s extraordinary service to me and my clients, I felt compelled to share my experience with others.” – Attorney Joseph Johnson II
“I am an attorney myself, but I don’t practice medical malpractice or personal injury. When one of my family members experienced an injury, Stephenson Rife was my first choice. Mike Stephenson handled the matter thoroughly and with great sensitivity to the situation.”
“I had a very complex case in Indiana and several Indiana firms did not want to engage in the case. I found Mike Stephenson at Stephenson Rife and he took on the matter and did an amazing job for the clients and got a great recovery. Mike and his staff were easy to work with and were always prepared. If you have a case in Indiana or you are an attorney needing to work with Indiana counsel, I highly recommend these folks.”
Client Story
When my young adult son was in a very serious automobile accident (he was a passenger), he was hospitalized for 4 days and had major surgery. We contacted Mike Stephenson from the hospital, and he immediately ensured proper testing of the vehicle was done. I am an attorney myself, but my focus for many months had to be on my son’s recovery. Mike and Brady Rife were professional and excellent. Although many personal injury cases take years, they reached a very favorable settlement in less than one year for my son. I highly recommend Stephenson Rife – they were our #1 choice.
