Call to retain services and receptionist argued with me over medical facts. I am an RN and I know what is acceptable behavior and documentation as a nurse and I would never retain this attorney based on the staff they have. Unprofessional and incorrect information given.

Words can truly not express how amazing and wonderful Shillen Mackall & Seldon Law Firm is and has been for A year and a half!
I had a terrible accident two years ago and I was recommended to call this attorney that represented me. The lawyer that was recommended to me was too busy most of the time to talk to me. I mostly dealt with the paralegal who was not a compassionate person at all and caused me more stress than I already had in my life. They did not believe in me or my case. After six months of representing me I got a letter in the mail saying that they were dismissing me and would not

Dennis and his team made me feel very at ease. Dennis is very understanding, and caring but thorough. My accident was horrifying. I had a glass shower door in a Hotel break all over me. I had stitches in 2 places. It was awful. I had a friend of mine recommend Dennis to me and I’m so glad I called him. He worked hard to get me the best compensation possible.

Attorney Jim Mackall took the time listen to the details of my case and then went to work on my behalf. I am very pleased with the outcome and resolution reached in my complex case and would highly recommend Jim’s services.

Dennis Shillen represented me in a car accident case and he was fabulous! He was proactive and meticulous in his approach. He interacted regularly with the opposing side and managed their expectations brilliantly . He was always easy to reach and explained to me his strategy going forward in clear, understandable terms. When It came time for negotiating a settlement , he did an outstanding job, resulting in a generous settlement. I have been involved in a number of litigations in the course of my life and I would say without qualification that Dennis is the best attorney ever to represent me.

Amazing! I can’t express enough appreciation and respect to this firm ! Nick Seldon took my case when two attorneys said I couldn’t win. We did win! I saw his team work together with respect and professionalism and great detail. I was treated so well in all dealings and communications . Every step was explained. I am now free of medical debt and costs to live while injured and out of work. Very responsive to questions and options. Mediation was a chance to see Nick at his best! I hope you never have the need for an injury attorney but if you do call Nick !!

I contacted this law office and was able to meet with Jim Mackall after I started getting the runaround from insurance company regarding a workers compensation injury. Jim and his staff were helpful, knowledgeable and quite responsive. They guided me through the entire process and made sure that I was getting the care and outcomes I needed. I highly recommended you give these folks a call. I would definitely use them again if I was faced with a similar situation. I learned a lot in working with them and I will never not have an attorney for serious work related injuries again. Give them a call

I was very impressed with the care and compassion that Jim Mackall gave me during a difficult time. After a flat denial on my workman's comp claim Jim was able to get it turned around rather quickly taking a huge burden off myself and my family. Thank you so much!

Nicholas represented me after I'd been rear-ended in a car accident / had a car accident. My car had been totaled and I had a concussion and some other medical issues. I'm a lawyer myself, so I know something about legal representation and the legal world.

Nicholas's customer service and professionalism were extraordinary. He was extremely responsive, attentive and helpful. He helped me navigate the complex, intimidating process every step of the way, from the initial insurance claims and buying a new car, to filing everything correctly and creating careful records of all my treatments

but he was in a hurry cause he was heading on a vacation he promised to call us when he got returned we never heard a word from him we called
