In September 2019, my mom and sister suffered a horrific accident with a tractor trailer taking the life of my sister. Overwhelmed with shock and grief, my family and I didn’t know where to start with recovery. A relative researched and referred McArthur Law Firm after finding credible reviews for their trustworthy professionalism. I can’t speak enough of selecting Attorney Jessica Edmonds. She was our beacon of hope at time we felt limited. Jessica took the time to understand the unfortunate mental, emotional and physical trauma my Mom was dealing with. She thoroughly investigated and identified the root cause of what happened on that fatal day. More importantly, we able to just focus our attention on her healing plan. She successfully reached a fair settlement in a short time. We appreciate her and the McArthur Law Firm staff’s friendly, knowledgeable and responsive service.
