Deborah C. – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I was on my way to work, and was stopped in a construction zone on the Interstate. According to reports, a semi going almost full speed, failed to stop and rear ended the vehicle behind me, causing a seven-car chain reaction.

As the result of the wreck, I had a large laceration on my head, a concussion, and broke my back and neck in four places. I have no memory of the accident. After three weeks in the hospital and rehab, I came home in a neck and back brace.

I wore the neck and back brace for four months. I am still in constant pain from my injuries. I have limited movement of my neck and suffer from PTSD and have memory loss of several weeks prior to the wreck and for two weeks after the wreck and still struggle at times to remember the simplest things.

My injuries, from the accident, caused by a negligent semi-truck driver, completely changed my life. The injuries limit my ability to do simplest task around my home, and prevent me from traveling and going places with my family, attending my grandson’s sporting events and activities. It even effected my ability to sit at work all day.

After the automobile accident, and on the recommendation of my personal attorney, we brought in Mike Stephenson of Stephenson Rife LLP, to represent me in my personal injury case. Mike Stephenson, Brady Rife and their team did an amazing job on my case.

After 5 ½ years, two Meditations, and little to no attempt from the insurance company to settle my claim, Mike and Brady took my case to trial. The Jury ruled in my favor, finding the semi driver 100% at fault, and awarded me 2.5 million dollars.

After the trial, the Insurance Company filed an Appeal of the Jury’s ruling. Mike and Brady barely batted an eye and went to work refuting the objections filed by the Defense. It took an additional year, but The Indiana Court of Appeals unanimously upheld the Jury’s ruling.

Mike, Brady and their team worked hard to bring my case to a positive conclusion. They were quick to respond to my emails, (frequently with a phone call), answered all my questions and explained everything throughout the entire process.

If you ever need a personal injury attorney, I would highly recommend Stephenson Rife LLP.

My 20-year-old son was killed in a horrible accident involving a Semi Truck over three years ago. Shortly thereafter I hired Stephenson Rife to work on my son’s wrongful death suit. In working with Mike’s team over the past three years, I can truly say they did a wonderful job for me. I’ve told many people this and it bears repeating, but outside of myself and my son’s dad, Mike knows more about my son than anyone else in the world, and that says a lot about how much time Mike spent learning about him and preparing for my case. When you lose a child, you want everyone to know everything there is to know about your child, and it is so comforting to know that Mike took the time to learn about who my son was. I am so thankful for the passion and dedication he and his team had throughout my entire case. I can’t tell you the number of times Mike called me after hours or on weekends to discuss different things pertaining to my case. This proved to me that my case was on his mind continually. Mike was easy to work with and took the time to explain things. Anytime I had questions or needed reassuring Mike was there for me to talk to, get answers, or just calm me down. At one point, I reached out to Mike for help on a different matter for my mother, and he was able to help her out of a bad situation while still working with me on my case, and that was very much appreciated. Hands down, I would recommend/refer Mike and his team to anyone. If I am ever in a situation needing legal help again, Mike will be the first person I call. Mike was the lifeline that kept me afloat for the past three years, and I am eternally grateful. Thank you so very much!

We recently needed a lawyer. We had spoken to a few lawyers in our past and had some bad experiences. What ever preconceived notions of lawyers you may have, Stephenson Rife will quickly erase. They are the most thoughtful, intelligent and compassionate people we have ever met. It was obvious from the start that they were more concerned about our well being than the financial part of the case. They took care of us in a time when we were not able. When we were learning all about the meaning of trauma and tragedy they were looking out for us like a mother bear with a law degree. They attended to not just our legal needs but saw to it we were being taken care of in all aspects. It was unbelievable. They are the best decision we ever made.
