Testimonials from John Ostojic’s Clients:
John, I have heard from others that you are a superstar. When I decided to hire you as my attorney and got to know you personally and professionally, I am undoubtedly a believer in you. Thank you for always supporting me, preparing me for my sworn statements, deposition and ultimately obtaining resolution of my case. The seven-figure settlement was solely the result of your knowledge and toughness as a lawyer. I am indebted to you and your law firm forever.

My life was altered twice. Once as a result of the negligence of health care medical providers who left me disabled. The second life changing event was the result and conclusion of a contested and hard-fought case that resulted in an eight-figure settlement. I am on my way to recovery. John, my family, and I are not only grateful but forever thankful for your kindness, support and legal acumen. We love you and you will always be in our prayers.

John and his associate LC are fantastic. Both were so helpful, honest, and professional. The insurance company refused to offer a reasonable settlement. John guided me to proceed to Arbitration. The case was successfully tried, and the Arbitrator awarded me twice the policy limits of the guilty driver. John and LC did a great job with the experts. John’s closing argument won the case for me. I am grateful to both LC and John for their dedication to me and their commitment to fight for the underdog against big stingy insurance companies.
