    “So happy I choose Womac Law Firm!”
    So happy I chose Womac Law Firm after I was rear ended and my car was totaled! Chris and his paralegal Amber were very helpful, always available when I had questions, and always made me feel like I was a priority! I hope to not need a personal injury attorney ever again but if I do, I'll be using Womac!
    “I got fast professional treatment with Ed and all of his staff. They handled everything from the minute I contacted them and got me the most possible from my settlement.”
    I have heard horror stories from people who had bad experiences at other firms. I got fast professional treatment with Ed and all of his staff. They handled everything from the minute I contacted them and got me the most possible from my settlement. I was 100% satisfied.
    “From the time I walk in, I knew I was in great hands.”
    Mr. Womac greeted me with the utmost respect. From the time I walk in, I knew I was in great hands. The staff is very friendly. My attorney Mr. Vic did an amazing job.
    “Edward Womac’s office took care of me every step of the way through this very tedious process.”
    Edward Womac’s office took care of me every step of the way through this very tedious process, one that I was unfamiliar with. Brian Hill, the lawyer that represented me, was amazing. I think in the 10 months that we worked together, I called the office one time. He always called me and kept me up to date on anything I needed to know and gave me guidance for my next steps. I pray nothing like this ever happens to me again, but if it does, I know exactly where to go.
    “I had a great experience at the Womac Law Firm.”
    I had a great experience at the Womac Law Firm. My attorney was Mrs. Jeananne Montgomery. She kept me informed of my case every step of the way. I would highly recommend the Womac Law Firm and Mrs. Montgomery to everyone I know that needs their help.
    “When I hired Mr. Womac, I knew I would be getting a fighter, and was not disappointed.”
    When I hired Mr. Womac, I knew I would be getting a fighter, and was not disappointed. He didn't stop until all the insurance companies involved in my case paid what they owed me. After that, he went to bat for me with my health insurance. He and his team stayed right on top of my case the whole way through. They made me feel like they really cared about my case.
    “Take it from me, you can’t go wrong putting the Womac on them!!”
    Listen up- look no further for a professional, informed, and pleasant law firm experience. Our attorney Huntleigh and his assistant were just great. The staff is always courteous, patient, and helpful. The icing on the cake is that Mr. Womac is only steps away, ready to provide the best for his clients. Take it from me, you can’t go wrong putting the Womac on them!!
    “Highly Recommend”
    Overall great experience- I’ll be recommending to Family and Friends. Very friendly and every question answered.
