Melissa Corrigan
They work hard for their clients and show respect
My name is Suzanne Scheier, and I had an automobile accident in 2022. I contacted Kalfus & Nachman immediately and a gentleman came to my home to document what had happened. An attorney was assigned to my case, and he contacted me to request further information. Attorney Neal Schulwolf and his paralegal, Meghann Fund, have done an amazing job in getting the best for me for my injuries and emotional stresses. They have gone beyond what I anticipated, and I want to thank Attorney Schulwolf and Meghann Fund sincerely. The paperwork provided by Meghann was phenomenal and she spent many hours of work on my case. Attorney Schulwolf sure knows the law, but what I noticed most was his encouragement and help to prepare me to give a deposition and I thank him for his expertise, knowledge, and patience with me. Having his encouragement meant so much to me and kept my stress level manageable. I could not have done it without his support. Another thing that stood out was after giving my deposition, Meghann came out and helped me to understand the next step, which was still more work on their part. Meghann kept me informed as time went by and she always treated me with respect knowing that as an elderly person I could get a bit confused with legal processes, and I appreciated that so much. In that regard, one piece of advice I have for anyone waiting for updates of their case is to be patient. Let your attorney and paralegal do their job. They will provide information as it becomes available. I am impressed with Kalfus & Nachman, Attorney Schulwolf, and Meghann Fund. If I ever need help again (hoping that never happens), I will go with Kalfus and Nachman because they work hard for their clients and show respect and encouragement along the way. Again, thank you, Attorney Schulwolf and Meghann Fund. You are both awesome!
Garry & Suzanne Scheier
My attorneys at Kalfus and Nachman would not cave
The insurance company delayed and deflected hoping my attorney would cave in and recommend a lowball offer. My attorneys at Kalfus and Nachman would not cave or accept a lowball offer for me. My attorney, Christopher Jacobs, fought, filed suit, and stood up for me. He and his paralegal, Emily, explained everything and were straightforward in helping hold the defendant responsible for crashing into me. I would refer anyone I know to Chris if they need a great attorney with a great staff.
Meghan Rice
Made the Defendant Own Up to His Responsibility
The insurance company and defendant did not want to own them causing a crash. My lawyer, Christopher Jacobs at Kalfus & Nachman, made the defendant own up to his responsibility for causing a crash and my injuries. Chris and his paralegal Emily were great bringing my case to a finality.
Monita Bynum
The team you want!
If you're looking for an attorney after a motorcycle or car accident, Greg Sandler and Carmen Caswell are the team you want! The only hassle I've had during this entire process was the accident itself. They were very knowledgeable and helpful, not only in the case but also with help finding medical and therapy solutions and always looking out for your best interest! Thank you again for everything!
Dylan Smith
Outstanding Job by Neal Schulwolf
I would like to thank Mr. Neal C. Schulwolf and Meghan for an outstanding job. It was worth the time and having patience definitely pays off. Thank you all once again.
Romona Williams
Very helpful in settling my accident
Very helpful in settling my accident. I knew I did not want to deal with all the doctors, physical therapists, insurance companies, etc., so it was a relief to let Colin O'Dawe (JD) and Auburn (Paralegal) handle everything. They were great to work with. I could not be more pleased.
Jeffrey Anderson

Great team and great firm
The worst part about being in a crash was getting hurt and the insurance company trying to lowball me and take advantage of me. I hired Kalfus and Nachman and they were with me the whole way. My attorney Christopher Jacobs filed suit and made them pay what was reasonable. His paralegal Emily and Chris always called me and kept me informed. Great team and great firm.

Exceptional Legal Assistance
I had the pleasure of working with Ashley Gay, who provided exceptional legal assistance to my dad with his car accident case. From the very beginning, Ashley was not only professional but also genuinely compassionate. She took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all our questions, and made sure we understood all of our options. Her expertise in personal injury law was evident as she navigated the complexities of the case with confidence. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, my dad received a fair and timely settlement. We are incredibly grateful for Ashley’s support throughout this challenging time. Highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and caring attorney!

Definitely Do Not Recommend
I definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND. It’s about to be 2025, and my accident happened in May 2023, and I’ve been waiting on a call back since I finished physical therapy! These people will ghost you! But somehow you’ll still receive their company holiday emails. Update: Everything has been sorted out and we settled before CHRISTMAS! I know I’m a little late with the update, but these guys made up for the delay, and all I wanna say is thanks. The 1-star review has now been updated to 5 STARS!

WHAT A FANTASTIC ATTORNEY!
Kalfus & Nachman, “The Hurt Line,” an elite 5-star law firm.
You may ask why 5 stars? To begin, they honestly care about you as a person, not just a client. When presented with my case (9 months left on a statute of limitations) and after their initial review, I was assured that they would take me on as their client.
A conversation with my legal representative, Mr. Christopher Jacobs, was in his own words, and I quote, “do not worry about the statute of limitations, that’s my job, yours is to get better.”
From that moment on, I was contacted by Ms. Player Butler, his paralegal, who I have to say is a true professional in every sense of the word. Not only did she make sure to keep me informed as to the status of the case and required documentation but also constantly check in on me regarding my well-being and health matters. Her heartfelt compassion, kindness, and understanding of me as a person allowed me to focus on my road to recovery and not the stress of what would happen next.
Ms. Butler is the epitome of what others in her position and profession should strive to be.
A sincere and personal thank you to Ms. Butler.
Now to my attorney, Mr. Jacobs, an individual who is not only confident in his abilities but also another caring individual. As my legal representative, he was extremely diligent in his review and analysis surrounding my accident. His professional demeanor and work ethics allowed him to focus on every scenario and approach. Never taking anything for granted, never subjective and ALWAYS absolutely certain that his examination of the mishap clearly indicated, without a benefit of doubt, that I was not at fault.
Without any reservations, he proceeded and won the case. A case that a previous firm stated could not be won.
WHAT A FANTASTIC ATTORNEY!
Again, my many thanks to Mr. Jacobs and Ms. Butler for their unwavering support.
If you have any doubts as to whom you should hire, I highly recommend Kalfus and Nachman, “The Hurt Line,” Law Firm. You won’t regret it.

Hello, my name is Carolyn Moore and I am a client of Kalfus and Nachman. I was in an accident back in April of 2024. I was injured and my car was totaled by an uninsured driver. I had no idea what to do as far as how I was going to take care of my situation. I saw an ad on TV for Kalfus and Nachman and I made the call. They got back in touch with me the same day with Paralegal Rhonda Turner and Attorney Jeffry Sachs. They took very good care of me and made sure I knew everything that was going on in my case. They are very professional and knowledgeable in my case and made sure I got what I needed to take care of myself and my bills. I thank God for my attorney Jeffry Sachs and my Paralegal Rhonda Turner. I recommend them highly. I am a happy client.

Many auto accident claims are settled out of court through negotiations. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your case may go to trial. Your lawyer will advise you on the best course of action.
What are common causes of auto accidents?
Common causes include distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, and poor weather conditions. Mechanical failures and road defects can also contribute. Identifying the cause is crucial for determining liability.
When should I contact a personal injury lawyer?
Contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after the accident. Early legal guidance can help preserve evidence, protect your rights, and advise you on interactions with insurance companies.
How long do I have to file a claim?
The time limit to file a claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state. It's typically between one to three years from the accident date. Consult a lawyer to understand the specific deadline applicable to your case.
