Client Testimonials

”I can’t thank Palmer’s Law Group enough for their help after my son was rear ended. Gary White experience with accident cases really showed. He anticipated the insurance company’s tactics and countered them effectively. Their team was always there when I needed them, explaining things clearly. They got me a settlement that covered everything. If you’re in an accident, call Gary White. He combines legal expertise with genuine care for his clients.”

Thank you for helping me during an unfortunate life altering time for my family and me. God Bless.”

Jody McGhee (August 2025)

”My husband and I worked with Meaghan and Kristy the past 2 years to get an injury claim settled that we honestly gave up any hope of getting justice for our boat being totaled and my injuries caused by another inexperienced boat driver in August 2023. We are so grateful not only for the referral to use Meaghan from my husband’s foreman but for the consistent pursuit of our claim by Meaghan and overall effort given to help us after such a terrifying experience. Palmer Law, especially attorney Meaghan Gerard is number one in our book and we will highly recommend her and her staff to anyone who needs to benefit from her expertise and experience. Everyone was also so incredibly helpful and professional throughout the entire process. Huge thank you to Meaghan and Kristy for all you did for our family during a time we felt hopeless, frustrated and mourning not only our boat loss but our poor puppy Melo due to the incident. We can’t thank you enough.”

Hayley Cannon (August 2025)

”First off they are local and that’s a plus. And they got right on my case. Any questions I had they answered and helped me understand. Always returned my texts or phone calls. I got them as a referral and I’m glad I called. I would refer Palmer Law Group to friends and family. I think they’re all wonderful. Thank you Palmer Law Group. I appreciate you.”

Barbara Horn (August 2025)

”They handled my wreck that put me in hospital and rehab, took care of me personally for everything. I’ve used different lawyers over a 30 year period. Everyone that works there are just the best. I think it’s from many years of being the best and the people they hire are simply the best they can find. They made a positive impression that will never go away.”

Jim Sicard (June 2025)

”Every time was very upfront which I loved. I understood all details they shared. They are very on top of everything and so nice while doing it. Truly took a horrible experience and turned it into positivity.”

Mya Smith (May 2025)

”Meaghan Girard and Kristy are amazing to work with, they are both very thorough. They went over and above when my own insurance company didn’t want to even communicate with them and needed to be hounded for a response. After an accident and a surgery was so stressful and they took away most of that stress so I only had to focus on healing! They are a great team!”

Stephanie Espinoza (August 2024)

”My wife and I needed an attorney to help us with an injury accident that we were involved in, and we chose Palmer and I’m glad we did. Dustin has been great to work with; dealing with insurance companies can be frustrating and confusing, but he has been patient with us as we ask questions and seek to understand what our options are. Highly recommend!”

Derek Harrison (March 2023)

”Everyone with Palmer Law Group was amazing!!! They were incredibly helpful, down to earth, and were able to explain things to me in easy to understand terms so that I was able to make the best decision for my situation. We ended up settling for way more than I thought I would ever get!! As a result I’m not only able to pay off all of my medical bills but all of my bills in general. I’m proud to say that I am officially debt free!! I would recommend them to anyone who has been put in the unfortunate situation of an accident and in need of representation.”

Jennifer Thurman (January 2023)

”Excellent service and support. We’re able to get the information needed to understand the legal system when seeking compensation from an accident. Palmer Law Group took care of all our documents and accident records. I highly recommend this firm when dealing with car insurance and compensation.”

Itzel Rodriguez (April 2024)

”My son had an accident that changed his life forever, we are so blessed and thankful to have all these amazing helpful people on our side!!! I can’t thank them all enough for everything!!! I highly highly recommend them!! I called several other attorneys, they all seemed bleak until I talked to Meaghan and her team at Palmer Law.

I can’t put into words how satisfied I am with them, please call them!!!!”

“So I’ve been working with the lovely Meaghan and Kristy…I was in an accident in August and contacted Meaghan based off the reviews that she had. Let me say this she will fight for you and I really appreciate that. Both her and Kristy are easily accessible and they NEVER make you feel like a burden. I like that they are down to earth and really take the time to listen. We are still working on my case but I recommend this dynamic duo!!!! Thanks, ladies for all you do!!!!”

Monique S. (January 2019)

“My family and I were involved in a car accident where a drunk driver plowed into our car. There were physical injuries suffered and obviously damage to our vehicle. I had no clue where to begin in the recovery process so I reached out to LJ Leatherman. LJ & his staff could not have been more helpful walking us through the process. Countless phone calls, emails and processing mountains of documents were all handled by him & his staff. Thank you LJ & Staff for all of your efforts in helping our family through this difficult time!“

Dan G. (December 2018)

“The Palmer Law Group and LJ Leatherman, in particular, was recommended to me by another friend (also a lawyer, but unable to represent me in my specific case). I was incredibly pleased with LJ and his staff who worked with me for over a year as I went through recovery and the settlement process. He was careful, patient, and attentive; matter-of-fact and genuine in all his interactions with me. I always had complete confidence in what he did, which was always very organized and logical. After a major injury, the recovery and the prospect of settlement negotiation could seem overwhelming, but LJ’s demeanor was very simple and casual–everything was one step at a time, and his staff took care of all paperwork.

Most importantly, my worries and the pain I was going through was always validated–he actually cared that I was in pain and was struggling, and he listened as I described my recovery process. The next phrase was always, “OK, here is where we go from here…” It doesn’t seem like much, but when one has been through an injury it helps to have a lawyer who does care that the injury damaged one’s life. In the end, the process was easy, and I received a comfortable settlement.

Communication was mostly over email, which was convenient for me (he offered multiple methods of communication and I opted for more emails over phone calls or other forms of communication). Many thanks to them, and I highly recommend LJ for any personal injury issues.“

Rachel S. (March 2018)

“I am currently working with Dustin Van Dyk and I couldn’t be more pleased! The entire staff is very pleasant to work with and I have full confidence that he will resolve my issue. I would use him again without hesitation.”

Megan T. (February 2017)

“I had a messy accident last year and Meaghan helped me through all of it. She’s an awesome person to work with and she knows how to do her job well. Hopefully, I’ll never need to contact her again but if I do I know she’ll be able to help me.”

Hannah S. (April 2017)

“As an attorney and a trustee in bankruptcy, I have hired LJ Leatherman and his firm to represent the bankruptcy estate in a number of very complicated personal injury cases suffered by debtors. LJ’s knowledge of the law commands respect with Judges and defense counsel; his timeliness in responding to inquiries and case issues is unmatched, and his empathy for the injured and the professionalism of his trial skills make him an amazingly good lawyer.”

Darcy W. (April 2017)

“I recently had been in an auto accident where I was hit by a drunk driver. I was left with a totaled car and having to deal with insurance agents and others. LJ Leatherman and his firm really addressed every email, phone call, and letter on my behalf because let’s face it I do not do this kind of stuff every day and some of it was confusing. In addition to helping with the post-accident matters quickly, a huge benefit to getting LJ’s help was just giving me the peace of mind that everything was being handled and handled the right way not leaving anything to chance. They were all amazing! Thanks, LJ!!”

Boyd B. (May 2017)

“I came to Meaghan Girard with a complex auto accident case and she handled it with expert advice, swift responses to my inquiries, and ultimately, an extremely positive outcome.

I strongly recommend Meaghan Girard to anyone needing legal advice in Topeka and the surrounding area.”

Matthew M. (March 2017)

“Dustin Van Dyk was always on top of things after my motorcycle injury. Even though the offending insurance company was far from being hasty. He was able to help me get the most for my severe injuries and to get the hospital bills paid. If I ever need representation again, I will be calling Dustin.”

Lance G.(February 2017)

“I got in touch with Dustin Van Dyk with a very tricky auto accident, he did a great job answering any questions or concerns I had!”
