Top best Personal Injury Lawyers Near me in ZIP 70809

My journey to the personal injury field was unconventional. During law school my initial plans were to go into the practice area of property law. Unfortunately, in my second year of law school I fell ill with an auto immune condition. The doctors knew what medicine I needed to get into remission however I was denied by the insurance companies multiple times which led my condition to worsen and placed me in the emergency room. Only then when I was fighting against a life altering surgery did the insurance company approve me for the medicine I needed and deserved. I was one of the fortunate ones who actually had "great" insurance, yet even then after paying my monthly premium for years their decision was based on their bottom line not my well-being. At that moment I knew what I wanted to do. I had a burning desire to fight against these companies in any and all situations. If you hire me, I will take your fight against them personally because I have seen what these companies are capable of and never have your best intentions at hand.
