Steven Gensemer, if you want a no nonsense pit bull of an attorney HE IS YOUR GUY! When I hired Ashcraft & Gerel I was aware, I had a difficult case. I also knew I needed a man with experience and a master at his game. I came to Mr. Gensemer broken after loosing 12 family members including my ex husband and best friend/ sister 2 months after my surgery resulting from personal injury incident. Living with pain, pain killers, and grief, I put my trust into a man who took control and led me to a safe place of peace and a hefty settlement. Mr. Gensemer worked hard for me, he recognized I was struggling. His patience and understanding convinced me that I had made the right decision hiring STEVEN GENSEMER. I am forever grateful to him and plan will use him in the future ( hopefully I won’t have to lol! ), however I STRONGLY RECOMMEND STEVEN GENSEMER for any legal issues you may have. God bless him and his family

My experience with Justin Lerche, Esq., over the last 2½ years has been outstanding. I came to Ashcraft & Gerel LLP, seeking a personal injury attorney with experience in these cases. I was impressed with Justin’s biography on the firm’s website. From the initial call with him, I felt confident in his talents to represent me after a car accident I endured on January 14, 2022, to the final settlement on December 5, 2024, achieving a favorable outcome.
Throughout this exhaustive and stressful time, Justin handled my case with utmost professionalism, attention to detail, care, and effective communication, making a world of difference to me. His expertise and knowledge of personal injury law are to be commended. He always made me feel I was in great hands, reassuring me that everything would be okay from day one. He promptly answered all my questions on the case and offered solace to the emotional tears I experienced during our calls.
I highly recommend Justin at Ashcraft & Gerel LLP to anyone seeking exceptional legal services and results in personal injury cases. I’m profoundly grateful and cannot thank Justin enough for his support, services, and personal injury expertise, which made this overwhelming process bearable. Laura Harmon, his Paralegal, was also courteous and prompt in her responses. Thank you both!
