John W., Auto Accident Client of Gerard Kramer from Boiling Springs, PA
Just a wonderful firm to do business with! Friendly, on point, always answers calls, email. Never had to wonder what was going on because they kept me informed.
Margaret K., Auto Accident Client of Gerard Kramer from Honey Brook, PA
The incident, the rear-ending and totaling of my car on Route 15 southbound, occurred in the early evening of Election Day 2016. I had to be removed from my car and was taken to the Trauma Center at the Hershey Medical Center. My injuries resulted in a broken back, in two places, and other internal injuries. I was in no condition, nor did I know how, to proceed with the legal procedure that was required to protect my physical and financial interests. If it hadn’t been for Schmidt Kramer, I would not have been able to protect myself from legal procedures that may have been initiated by the individual who struck my vehicle, pay the extraordinary medical bills, purchase another car to replace mine, which was totaled, or any other costs or liabilities related to the accident.However, thanks to the highly professional care and protection that I received from Schmidt Kramer, though suffering a good deal of pain and interruption in my daily life for several months, I was able to pay the monumental hospital medical and related bills that resulted from the accident, my injuries, the loss of time from my business.I shall be forever grateful to Schmidt-Kramer for the excellent service, and minimal legal inconvenience, that I experienced.
