HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
I entrusted Edwards & Ragatz with my personal injury case. My lead attorney, Eric Ragatz, consistently went above & beyond what I had expected going into the process. Eric & his team were compassionate & understanding as I went through multiple procedures as well as a surgery for my spinal injuries. Their knowledge allowed me to understand what I faced & made the entire process as stress free as could be imagined considering what I was up against.
Then when it was time to hold the at fault party responsible for my injuries, Edwards & Ragatz were relentless in their pursuit to get me the settlement I deserved.
For anyone who suffers a personal injury due to another parties negligence, you can rest assured Edwards & Ragatz law firm will bring their personal touch as well as their legal expertise to guide you through the process & to get you the justice you are owed!!

Allen Coulter
Best choice I could have made
Life presented me with a challenge, and after speaking with several law firms, I chose Edwards & Ragatz. Best choice I could have made. Originally starting with Attorney Joel Powell, who was very kind, I switched to Eric Ragatz after Joel made a career change. Eric picked up the ball and never stopped! He was like a pit bull! Eric, Katie DeSantis McCranie, Elaine, and Cindy were the best team! They met the challenge head on and were unstoppable, all the while pausing to ask if I was okay. They are very professional and left no stone unturned. You will want them on your side. Don't hesitate to call Edwards & Ragatz!
Carol Anne
Definitely 5 star rating!
I used Jennifer Reiber, and she made the process so smooth and explained everything in detail, what she was doing, and what was the right move. Her paralegal, Lyndsie, was also such a pleasure! Definitely 5 star rating! If I could give more stars, I would! Highly recommend!
Sarah VanHeusen
Wonderful first experience
My lawyer was Mr. Doug Clifton. I had a wonderful first experience with the law firm and his assistants. Mr. Doug was on top of my lawsuit. He explained every detail, step by step, on how the process works, always maintained his communication which was very important to me, and if I needed help with a lawyer, that will be Mr. Doug. Thank you, Edwards & Ragatz, for your services.
Yesenia Ivette Cruz

Compassion and professionalism
The team at Edwards & Ragatz were a wonderful team with whom to work. From the moment we connected on the telephone, my husband and I were represented by them with compassion and professionalism. When we would call with questions regarding our case, the team, especially Doug Clifton, were prompt in responding to us. We hope we will not need their services again, but, if there is ever a need in the future, we would surely reach out to them. We highly recommend the team at Edwards & Ragatz.
Charlene Mabe
A Smart Decision with Eric and Team
From being in the Marines, I know the value of teamwork but also know when people value their work. One thing you can’t beat out of a Marine is that we like having control of things or taking charge, and in a case where we can’t, the second best thing is knowing we are behind a greater leader and in the right company or platoon. I can say with my head held high I was behind the right captain in this war, and I always knew what the next move was and the possible outcome of each decision. I can’t stress enough: save yourself some time and listen to a Marine. Just call Eric and his team and listen to them. You can learn a lot about the strength of your case by just a phone call, and if they want to take charge and make one of the most important decisions in your life, let them. If so, you just made a smart decision and will see for yourself, and that’s a fact. Thx, Eric, Katie, and team.
Doug Brevaldo
They were honestly great
I gotta say they were all honestly great here at Edwards and Ragatz. If I had questions or concerns, they would help me through it. They heard my story and fought for me to get what was deserved. I can't thank them enough for all that they have done to help me and my children get through the last 2 1/2 years. Eric, you are passionate about what you do, and that makes all the difference. If I ever need a lawyer again, you will be who I call.
Angela Brown
Compassion and Excellence
Tom Edwards and the entire team at Edwards and Ragatz listened and showed compassion to me and my family throughout the process of handling our case. They represented us with a level of excellence, care and determination that successfully ensured we were heard. I highly recommend the firm of Edwards and Ragatz.
Sharon Sullivan
Amazing Outcome
I wish that I could give them more than a 5-star rating. From the time they first answered my call until the very end of my case, I was met with empathy, professionalism, and compassion. Their communication throughout the process was absolutely amazing. I never felt in the dark about my case. Eric Ragatz and his team advocated for me from day one and the outcome was amazing. I definitely recommend utilizing their services.
Kelci Penelton
Turned into a complete success
Eric Ragatz took on a case that another attorney had completely made a mess of. Within 6 months of working diligently on the case, he turned it into a complete success. He took his time to listen and understand my issues, to lead and guide me through an ugly, convoluted process. He was personable and communicated everything in a timely manner. Eric has perfected his craft. If you ever need a lawyer, this is The Firm. Thank you Eric and his team. A special shout out to Marquis!
Patricia Gordon
Exceptional Legal Prowess
Rarely do I wield my pen for reviews, but this truth deserves the spotlight! Eric has undoubtedly proven himself to be one of the most exceptional lawyers, demonstrating a level of expertise and skill that sets him apart from his peers. Throughout my entire experience dealing with him and his team, I was consistently impressed by their professionalism, dedication, and astute legal strategies. It was evident that Eric's deep knowledge of the law and his meticulous attention to detail contributed significantly to the favorable outcome of my case. Undeniably, my journey with Eric as my lawyer was nothing short of outstanding, leaving a lasting positive impression and a profound appreciation for his exceptional legal prowess.

Brittany Hartwell
Honest and Straightforward
Honest straightforward! Could've taken our money but was straight up. What he says came to pass and he didn't take a dime. Thank you!
Paul Fazio
Call them.
I was fortunate enough to have Edwards & Ragatz as representation on my case. To be honest, I've always felt a certain way about lawyers, but Eric Ragatz completely dispelled those feelings and worries. The 1st thing he told me was that he was going to be completely transparent, and that's what he did. I knew it was real when he told me stuff I didn't want to hear, but that's what I needed. In a case such as mine when you probably won't be able to work, you start thinking about how you're going to take care of your family. Thankfully, thankfully, thankfully I went with this firm. Everything that was done regarding my case was sent to me for approval. Any responses were brought to my attention immediately. Anything concerning my case was brought to my attention, and he did what he said he was going to do. I can breathe again because I no longer have a concern about taking care of my family. If you've read this entire review, it's obvious you're looking for the right firm to represent your case. All I can say is call them. They may not be right for you, but then again they might be. I called, and within a few months, my life has been changed forever. Call them.
Jimmie Bacon

If the other driver is uninsured, your own insurance policy may cover your damages through uninsured motorist coverage, if you have it. This coverage can help with medical expenses and property damage. Legal options may also be pursued to hold the uninsured driver accountable. An attorney can guide you on the best course of action in such situations.
Can I file a claim if I am partially at fault?
Yes, you may still file a claim even if you are partially at fault. Many states follow a comparative negligence rule, where compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault, your compensation would be reduced by that amount. An attorney can help you navigate this process and strive to maximize your compensation.
How long does it take to resolve an accident claim?
The duration to resolve an accident claim varies depending on the complexity of the case, the willingness of parties to negotiate, and court schedules. Some claims may settle in a few months, while others may take years, especially if they proceed to trial. Your attorney can provide a more accurate timeline based on your case's specifics.
How are pain and suffering damages calculated?
Pain and suffering damages are calculated based on factors such as the severity of your injuries, the impact on your quality of life, and the length of your recovery. Insurance companies may use a multiplier method or per diem approach to estimate such damages. Your attorney can provide guidance and advocate for fair compensation based on your individual case.
