I don’t usually write reviews on institutions, but I feel compelled to commend Stephenson Rife LLP for their professionalism and hard work throughout my case. Brady Rife was absolutely stellar throughout this long and tedious process. Brady was not only able to get me the maximum payout, he also took time to explain things and truly cared for my family and I. We are forever grateful for Brady and the team at Stephenson Rife, and would absolutely recommend them to everyone in their trying time!

We would recommend Stephenson Rife to our family, friends or anyone that needs legal counsel.

Brady Rife and his team went above and beyond to get my husband the settlement he deserved. There wasn’t ever a time that we felt like we were just another client.

We can’t thank Brady enough for all the hard work and dedication he put into my husband’s case. We will continue to others about this firm.

I am deeply grateful for the exceptional legal representation provided by Mike and his team in resolving my mother’s wrongful death case. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a profound understanding of the complexities involved and a genuine compassion for our family’s situation. Mike and his staff were not only incredibly professional and knowledgeable but also consistently communicated with us, ensuring we were informed and supported throughout the entire process.

Bill H. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I contacted Mike Stephenson when my wife and children were involved in a vehicle accident. Mike was fantastic, he even gave me his personal phone number and told me to call anytime. My family’s case was hard to prove, my wife had a traumatic brain injury and both of my sons are special needs and their injuries were more emotional. Mike fought hard for my wife and sons and got them the maximum settlement that they deserved. I would recommend Stephenson Rife Law Firm to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, honest hard working lawyer. Being a law enforcement officer, I do not hand this endorsement out very often. Thanks again, Mike.

Ila B. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

My husband was involved in a tragic vehicle accident in March 2024. At first I was hesitant to hire an attorney because I thought I could handle it all on my own, however after the stress of driving from city to city to visit my husband in the hospital plus dealing with the health insurance and trying to deal with the vehicle insurance was a little overwhelming. We decided to hire Mr. Mike Stephenson at Stephenson Rife to deal with the auto insurance. The best choice we could have made! Mr. Stephenson and his knowledgeable staff made the process so much easier. We are grateful to say that Stephenson Rife did not fail us in any way. They actually made things a lot less stressful. We would highly recommend that if you are involved in any type of injury accident Stephenson Rife are the attorneys you want and need to navigate all of the legal issues for you. We would like to personally thank Mr. Stephenson and his staff for making this process simple and fast!

Joy S. L. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

My car was rear-ended as i was making a left turn on highway 44. The bills and insurance companies were overwhelming. Mr Rife listened to us and was willing to help. I was very naive to the whole accident process. I thought everyone was required to have vehicle insurance. I also thought if we had over-under insured, that bills would get paid by the insurance company.

No, this is not how it works. It was fighting our own insurance company for what we thought the insurance should cover. Mr Rife did everything for us. Gathering all of the information is a full time job, then knowing what to do with the information takes a professional. I am so glad I hired Stephenson and Rife. I immediately felt relief and concentrated on healing and getting back to work.

Patricia Ash – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

If anyone is looking for a law firm that truly cares about you and your case, Stephenson/Rife is who you need. I was in a head on collision 3 yrs ago. I started with a very well known large firm. After 2 years I fired them. They were doing nothing, never talked to an attorney and the day I did I fired them the next day. It has been a year since I hired Mike Stephenson. I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. They kept me apprised every step of the way, were obvious how much they cared and fought hard for me until a great agreement was reached with no trial. I know this is long, but can’t talk enough about how great, caring and professional they all are. If there were 10 stars above, I would have done a 10. Thank you Mike and Brady and Kim.

Kimberly E. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I hired Stephenson Rife when my son was in a motorcycle accident and suffered brain trauma. I didn’t know who to turn to and took a chance with them. It was the best decision I could have made. I ended up working with Paul Belch who works for the firm. Paul never left me feeling like I didn’t understand what was going on he always explained everything and answered my calls or text the same day. When my son was able to come home from the hospital, Paul came to visit us at that time. My son was very agitated and aggressive. Didn’t really like that Paul was there. Paul was very respectful and remained calm with him. Paul would always check in just to see how my son was doing. I really felt that Paul and this law firm really had our backs and greatly appreciate the hard work they did for our son and our family. If we ever needed help again I would certainly call this law firm again.

Connie P. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I highly recommend Stephenson Rife and would not hesitate to use their services in the future. The team was professional and approachable. They kept me updated throughout the process, explained what to expect at each step in the process, and promptly and satisfactorily addressed all of my questions. The end result was that my case was settled for more than I could have imagined. Extremely pleased!

Errin T. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I can not go on how much I appreciate this team. They were upfront and honest and worked so hard for my son. Highly recommend this hard working team.

Roxanne S. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

When you are faced with going through the worst situation you can imagine, Brady, Mike, and their team could not have been more compassionate, professional or helpful. Seriously, they guided us through every single step and answered every question we had. If you find yourself in a situation where you need a fantastic law firm, I would highly recommend Stephenson Rife LLP!

Jon L. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Paul and Kelly went above and beyond to provide exceptional service and great communication along the way. Thank you very much for all of your hard work.

Roger C. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

My experience with Stephenson Rife began in 2020. I went to the hospital for a simple procedure that went terribly wrong. My bladder was damaged beyond repair. Everyone involved denied any responsibility. Brady and Paul went to work and went over and above to prove what happened over a 4 year long investigation. The insurance company denied my claim. Finally, after an 8 hrs mediation which I attended, Brady and Paul made the insurance company pay over 10 times more than their 1st offer! I would recommend Stephenson Rife to anyone needing their services! Everyone at this firm was great to have on my side!!! THANKS again.

Patti M. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Mike and his staff were professional and efficient. Also, their responsiveness was unparalleled. I never waited more than a few minutes when I contacted them with a question. I was injured in a car accident and my case was complex and confusing to me. They handled everything and were able to explain to me what was going on. Hiring Mike Stephenson was the best decision I have recently made.

Mary S. B.  – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

From the first consultation to the final resolution of our case, the entire team was professional, compassionate, and highly knowledgeable. They had incredible attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome. Their communication was prompt, thorough and I always felt like a priority. I highly recommend Stephenson Rife to anyone in need of reliable, experienced, and results-driven legal representation. They exceeded my expectations in every way.

David S.  – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

In April of 2023 I was involved in an accident that left me with severe injuries to my lower extremities. I contacted Stephenson Rife for a consultation, to which Brady Rife accepted my case and began the legal process immediately. Throughout the 3-year litigation Brady and his team provided frequent updates and detailed plans for the advancement of my case. I am very pleased with my decision to have Brady represent my personal interests and would absolutely use Stephenson Rife if legal assistance is ever needed in the future. Many thanks to Brady and his staff.

Lori E.  – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Great experience with Stephenson Rife. Paul was very knowledgeable and kind! Hoping I don’t need them in the future, but if I do, I know where to go. Highly recommend!

Norvella M. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Penny is an amazing person she was so much help. The firm is a better caring place because of her. The firm was very caring and took very good care of us and made our ordeal easier.

Philann D. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Professional, caring people. Kimberly and Mike were easy to talk to.

Susan H. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

This is actually a THANK YOU to Brady. I was hit from behind 8 years ago turning into my neighborhood. (I saw the Jeep coming so I braced myself) My neck was the first to hurt so immediately went to a chiropractor As time went on new aches started that I thought odd such as wrists, hip, and ankle, but blew off. I moved through the pain and tears from my neck down, believing all would get better. I didn’t want to be “that person” who runs to a lawyer to sue someone. I was getting better with the two years of PPT. When the two year mark came up I was shocked of being offered, $1000. Brady came through for me with what short time he had. If I knew then what I know today, I would have gotten a lawyer immediately. Today 8 years later, I can hardly put my hands in a tight fist, take long walks, get out of a chair/car graciously due to my back or do light weight exercises. What I thought would pass, I didn’t dream what the “after” would be like. Thank you Brady, for taking on what became a case and backing me!!

Jerry W. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We are lucky to have you guys. Your compassion and empathy for both sides in this emotional time is incredible. It’s nice to know we have a team that looks out for Summer and helps us go through this healing process with a good moral compass. In a time when right and wrong seems so blurry to us. Your like a light in the storm. We can’t thank you enough.

Shirley B. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

On August 18, 2018, I was hit head-on by a driver high on drugs. My Toyota van was totaled and after spending 6 hours in the ER was sent home to have months and months of physical therapy. As a result of the collision, I was also diagnosed with PTSD. After trying for many months to deal with the other driver’s insurance company and as medical bills were continuing, I found out I could not deal with it emotionally. A former local judge recommended that I contact Mike Stephenson.

Mr. Stephenson and his associates totally took over for me. My stress was much relieved. All I had to do was forward ongoing bills and correspondence to them. Due to lack of cooperation from the other insurance company, we ultimately filed suit.

Mr. Stephenson and staff were with me all the way. They sat with me during the deposition, kept me informed of all activity and ultimately reached an excellent out of court settlement . I found their fee to be very reasonable.

Nancy B. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Mike and his team were kind and explained everything they did in terms I could understand. They are quick to respond and work incredibly hard for you. I was glad to have someone like him in my corner.

Cathy S. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

After I experienced a car accident, I wanted to find a lawyer that didn’t advertise on t.v. I was looking for someone who would handle my case, not pass it off. Stephenson Rife answered all my questions in a timely manner and kept me up-to-date on my case every step of the way. I would definitely recommend them.

Attorney Jason Karmire – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

They are by far the most professional law firm I have ever seen. We work together as co-counsel on many cases and have had great results so far. Brady and Mike work tirelessly to get the best possible settlement for our clients. I highly recommend them and cannot say enough good words for their abilities. You hope to never need a personal injury attorney but if you do, they do a fantastic job!

Brian K. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I would highly recommend Stephenson Rife as a great team of experienced professionals. In addition to their focus on specific details of your case, they advocate for you and explain what to expect as your case proceeds. I found Brady and Mike to be available and always willing to listen and explain the details of the case. In contrast to the heavy handed marketing you may see from other firms, Stephenson Rife stands on their reputation and they invest the time and resources required for the benefit of the client.

Dave Norris – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Mike Stephenson, Paul Belch, and Kim Spears were amazing to work with. After switching from another firm to their firm I could tell right away I made the correct choice. Their professionalism and attention to detail was wonderful. I’ve never been in a situation like this and I’m glad they were there to help me through it and get the best outcome possible for my situation. I have nothing but high praise for the job they did. I hope I never need their services again but in the event that I do I will call them and no one else. Thanks for your hard work!!!

Sherry K. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I never thought I would ever need to hire an attorney but two years ago I was struck by a vehicle while walking in a parking lot thankfully my injuries were not life threatening but they are definitely life changing and I will live with them for the rest of my life. Mike was very supportive and was able to get a settlement amount that exceeded my expectations. Mike and his team is incredibly passionate about what they do and genuinely care about their clients Mike was available anytime I needed him rather it be during the day, evening or on the weekend. I highly recommend Mike and his team to anyone and everyone that is in need of an attorney. I am sure thankful he was recommended to me. Thanks again Mike and staff!

Sarah L. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

You never think that you yourself will need an injury lawyer, you hear about others needing or using one. But not YOU! One late night coming home from vacation that all changed for me and my husband, as we were hit head on within 10 miles of our home. First, we both survived, we had God watching over us we have no doubt. I endured 3 surgeries within the first couple of days in ICU, with a crushed small intestine that was causing me to bleed out (first surgery was lifesaving, but it took two surgeries to fix all the damage) and then I also had a broken back (L2 broken) which required 6 screws and 2 rods to repair. I left the hospital walking with a walker, in a back brace and a boot for broken toes. Truly the last thing I was thinking about was a lawyer. But luckily my husband, who looked beat up but was not injured to the point of any hospitalization, was able to see the whole picture and knew that yes God & doctors saved me but the injuries would have life long effects on my life, and he was able to secure Stephenson Rife as our lawyers. We were very happy with everything that Mike and Sean did for us, they made the process easier, they helped us understand the unchartered territory of a lawsuit, and even with all the moving parts of our case and Covid times they brought us to a settlement that we are happy with. If you are reading this, you or someone you love has been hurt, and needs legal help. I would not hesitate at all to use Stephenson Rife again if I had a need for them. I highly recommend giving them a call and talking to them, you won’t be disappointed! You never know what life may throw at you, having knowledgeable and kind lawyers makes all the difference in your case. We trust in them completely!

It has been an honor to be represented by Brady Rife and his team following an accident that was beyond my control. From start to finish, they worked tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome on my behalf. Miss Sarah was always kind and professional during our conversations, and the entire team made sure I was informed every step of the way. Their communication, dedication, and compassion truly stood out. I would 100% recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation.

Mandy C. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I am posting this review on behalf of my parents. As my husband & I talk about the summer of 2022, we will be forever grateful for the Law Office of Stephenson Rife. My husband was in a very bad accident while on the job. I was referred to Stephenson Rife & we were set up with an amazing team! Paul & Tim went above & beyond to get us the compensation we deserved. I would say honesty & good communication are qualities they are strong in. Huge shot out to Paul, Sarah, Tim & Emily. We would just like to say thanks again to everyone for all the hard work!

Heather B. C. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

My son broke his neck while mountain biking, but while in the hospital, two members of his medical team moved him incorrectly which caused further displacement of the vertebrae and he was rushed into emergency surgery to attempt to avoid spinal cord damage. Mike Stephenson was recommended to me from a friend that is also a lawyer. Our accident was out of state, so Mike couldn’t even take our case, but he worked to find me a trusted lawyer in TN. Even after knowing he had nothing to gain from helping me, he talked me through what I should be doing and what to expect. I hope to never need his services again, but if I did, he’d be the first person I’d call.

Joshua K. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We started our journey after my husband was in a motorcycle accident in 2021. My husband was an avid motorcyclist and was known for being an extremely meticulous driver. He often used the motorcycle as his daily driver in warmer weather and took trips to scenic highways across multiple state lines. At the time of the accident he was traveling across Indiana from Ohio on his way to Arkansas to drive in the Ozarks. He came across unsafe road conditions and it totaled his bike. He also shattered most of his left leg.

We had many people ask us if we sought legal advice and that is just not something we ever considered doing with an accident. However, the more we considered the circumstances and his now permanently handicapped leg we began to think about how this would affect our future. Would he need more surgeries? Would he be able to work at his job though the pain? Would he be able to care for our home on our farm? How was our life going to change? We would not be able to travel to same way we always did. He would not be the go to guy everyone called for help. He would now be limited in the types of occupations he could have.

All of these thoughts overwhelmed us and we began to worry about life and ultimately worry about how to handle some of these situations financially that we were now in because of a road condition that could have been avoided if it had been safe for all vehicles to drive on. This is when we searched for legal counsel and a series of calls and contacts led us to Sean at Stephenson Rife.

Along with being professional, courteous, and sympathetic Sean was very honest about our case and the type of lawsuit we were looking at. He made us feel confident that we had the right to be taking legal action and that we should be seeking financial compensation for his injury. He told us that we would need patience and faith in them to do their job and that is what we did.

We now have a finalized settlement that we are beyond happy with that exceeded our initial expectations. Sean and Mike were able to get us to a place financially that we now do not worry about all of those first concerns we had. My husband still has his handicap but we can rest easier knowing that it will not take over our lives in the future. We are forever grateful to Sean and the team at Stephenson Rife.
