I have know Vernon Sumwalt for many years. I practiced in the field of Social Security disability over 40 years. I presented many continuing legal education seminars with Vernon. He is one of the most knowledgeable attorneys I have worked with. Further, he is well respected among his peers and the Courts. When I needed a lawyer to handle my husband’s personal injury case, Vernon was the lawyer I chose. If I had a client that needed a lawyer for Workers Compensation or personal injury, Vernon Sumwalt was my go-to lawyer. I trusted him for my husband’s case and for my clients.

We lost our dear son-in-law to a tragic work related accident in August, 2020.

Years ago I had an issue that required the assistance of an attorney. I unfortunately had a lawyer that provided the wrong advice and left my family worse off. That experience taught me what to look for and expect in an effective attorney going forward. During our 1st consultation, it was clear to me that Vernon was engaged and knowledgeable. I was referred to Vernon and the Sumwalt Group by the president of my union following an on the job injury. Seeking Vernon’s counsel has truly proved to be the best decision I could’ve made. I don’t know why it seems as if the company goes out of their way to make this process difficult for the worker. Knowing what to say, when to say it and to whom to speak to regarding your workers comp claim can be the difference between your claim go through smoothly or going horribly wrong. I am thankful that Vernon made me feel as though I had a partner, helping me through this process.

I just wanted to say thank you to The Sumwalt Group for taking care of everything during my time I was injured. They made sure the insurance company did what they were suppose to do and they got me a bigger settlement than I could have ever imagined. Thanks once again.

I had a lengthy conversation with Mr. Sumwalt and he answered all of my questions with so much patience. I did not feel rushed in any way and I learned that he seemed to have extensive knowledge of the law. I chose not to hire an attorney at this time, but he offered tips for how I could negotiate for a higher settlement for my case on my own. That spoke volumes to me and I just have to give credit where credit is due. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Sumwalt!
