Your Story Matters. Hear From Our Clients

“After being in a car accident in September of 2021 I had no idea of the issues I would face with the other motorist insurance company. After being shocked that the other insurance company would not entertain a pain and suffering settlement I reached out for help. My neighbor, a retired police detective, recommended Wettermark Keith. I reached out and we got the ball rolling. Roper Elrod was assigned to my case and I was very pleased with his help and support. He always kept me updated on the progress and changes of my case as well as providing me with the best advice. I am very pleased with how everything was handled by Roper and the Wettermark Keith team!! Thank you for representing me in the most professional manner!!”

“Highly recommend anyone who’s filing a disability claim in any state in the US contact Wettermark-Keith attorneys to help ease the stress of figuring it all out yourself. My attorney, Brian Smith from the Wettermark-Keith firm was efficient, friendly, positive and professional. All of the paralegals who helped me along the way were all a wonderful team and without them I don’t believe I could’ve navigated the minutiae of the social security filing process. We took it all the way to the administrative law Judge and there Brian Smith worked his magic and got me approved for disability benefits with back pay as my case was 3 years old. It’s never too late to call Wettermark-Keith for help and answers they are THE experts to call. Thank you attorney Brian Smith and thank you Wettermark-Keith!!”

“I got into a really bad wreck on Highway 280. My boyfriend convinced me to get an attorney. After calling several people, I landed with Wettermark Keith- and I am so grateful I did. Lee Hawker walked me through step by step, staying in touch with me over the whole course. The process was so easy on my end. When the case was finally resolved- we got the outcome we wanted, and I know that that was only possible due to Lee’s persistence, confidence, and experience. I am so thankful that an awful experience could have a happy ending!! Highly recommend anyone to give them a call!!!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Mark English at Wettermark Keith law firm after my car accident in December 2021. He was very thorough in everything, did a wonderful job of explaining everything that was happening, and was super easy to get in touch with when I needed him. I never had a question that was left unanswered by this lawyer. He’s very kind and patient, and he made the personal injury claims process so easy for me. I absolutely recommend him, it was a pleasure working with him!”
