Personal Attention to Each Case

Jim Ginzkey limits the number of cases his firm takes so that the attorneys of Ginzkey Law Office can give personal attention to each client, helping them through an emotionally challenging time.

He understands the nuances in personal injury litigation, and how to get results. Personal injury cases involve many critical, long-term decisions. Compensation is needed to pay for past and future medical and rehabilitation expenses.

Jim Ginzkey has the experience, skill, and resources to get the compensation you need and deserve.

To effectively negotiate settlements, Mr. Ginzkey prepares each case in anticipation of trial. He has the investigative resources and necessary access to expert witnesses to help prove liability and damages in personal injury cases. He holds a unique bargaining position with insurance companies and their attorneys, because he was once in their shoes. Because of this, he often obtains reasonable settlement offers. But if settlement is not obtained, he is prepared to go to trial.
