"The law office of John E. Hill is a good quality Law Firm. They took care of my case professionally with my best interest at heart. I appreciate all that they have done for me, they really changed my life for the best. Mr. Cooper fought hard for me and won my case. I will always be thankful for that.

"Sometimes in life you need help, especially after a workplace injury leaves you vulnerable and you have to navigate a complex system like workers compensation. I wish I hadn't tried so hard to figure it out on my own and just called the Law Offices of John E. Hill sooner. The firm has been helping injured workers in the San Francisco Bay Area for a long time, their reputation speaks for themselves. I highly recommend Attorney Joanne A. Helvig for your legal representation, she is honest and intelligent. Joanne not only knows all the ins and outs of workers compensation, she genuinely protects your rights and interests, and will guide you through the process, as she did for me. Having Joanne fight for me allowed me to focus on my health and recovery, and that kind of security is very rare."

"I worked with Joanne Helvig on my worker's comp case. 5 stars! She made sure I got access to the treatment I needed after my employer's insurance company tried to cut me off from necessary care. She was personable and took no nonsense from the insurance company. She fought for me to get both treatment and the settlement I needed. I hope to never need her help again, but if I do, Joanne will be the first person I call."

"I appreciate the high value professionalism shown to me whenever any questions regarding my case arose. There was always someone available to help me with understanding my own uncertainties."

"The Law Offices of John E. Hill has done an outstanding job representing my mother with her worker's compensation case. This is specifically referencing Mark Shostak and his legal support team. They have been on top of everything since day one! They are very swift and timely with their follow-ups. Most importantly, they have been very patient with helping my elderly mother, understand procedures and helping to get her ready (like keeping her calm) for any legal proceedings (e.g.: depositions). Though I never wish anyone get injured off or on the job, I highly recommend Mark Shostak and his team to represent you if you or a loved on find their self in such a predicament."

"As a client of Attorney Mark Shostak in 2015, I am eternally grateful to him, as well as to his legal assistants, for helping me get medical care and pain rehabilitation treatments that are extremely difficult to obtain from Workers Compensation. Witnessed by my boss and colleagues, I fell from several steps of a staircase at my place of employment and landed on my right side injuring my right hip, leg and foot. If it weren’t for Mr. Shostak’s legal expertise in Workers Compensation, I would not have gotten the best treatments available to me and a satisfactory monetary settlement of my case. I admire the way The Law Offices of John E. Hill (and most of all, my attorney, Mark Shostak) conducts business with their clients—expeditiously, professionally, compassionately, and truthfully. I highly recommend Attorney Mark Shostak and The Law Offices of John E. Hill for Workers Compensation cases without any reservations whatsoever. Without them, I would not have been able to navigate my way through the bureaucracy of it all. Thank you."

"I recently reached out to Joanne and her team after a work claim that I was getting cut short from. I am so happy I did, Joanne, Maria, and Iliana were there to help me through the process and made it so much more easier for me. Thank you ladies for your dedication and hard work."

"Atty. Ian Cooper is dependable and persistent lawyer when it comes to fighting for what is due and rightfully for your worker’s compensation needs. Highly recommend Atty. Ian Cooper and his team. The only thing I don’t like is receptionists , they’re only accommodating if your Spanish speaking, I’m sorry but otherwise, I still recommend John Hill Offices."

They we're very professional and knowledgeable about the entire process and involved every step of the way from deposition to evaluations. I want to thank and recommend Mark Shostak specifically and his assistant Yolanda for being responsive to my questions and representing me. Getting injured on the job is painful and stressful. The workers compensation system is also confusing, but with Mr. Shostak's help, I was able to be relaxed about the process and focus on getting better.

Their years of experience enabled me to get through this claim with a minimum of stress. Mr Hill was spot on in his prediction of what this claim would be settled for.

"I live on the east coast. I needed a lawyer to represent me in a personal injury suit. Never having been involved in lawsuit before, I didn't know what to expect. I selected John Hill based upon my research of Bay area attorneys and was not disappointed. He and his staff were very easy to communicate with despite the distance and 3 hour time zone difference. They are knowledgeable and have a huge base of experience. Most of all, I was always treated with kindness and respect as we moved through the process. Needless to say, I am extremely satisfied with my settlement. Without reservation, I give my whole hearted recommendation to Mr. Hill and his staff."

"My attorney was Ian Cooper. He and his team were exceptional. Ian was very responsive and kind to me. Manuela was so helpful every time I needed assistance. I was very happy with them!"

"I would highly recommend Joanne as an attorney. She is one of the best qualified and outstanding workers compensation attorneys in the area. She goes above and beyond to help her clients and takes on the challenges no matter how complex. I can only say she is an excellent choice when you are looking for representation. She has handled two of my cases and the work was outstanding. I would be more than happy to recommend her to anyone who is in need of an attorney."

"Intensely dedicated to getting the best results possible for me on several cases. John Hill tells you honestly and clearly the pluses and minuses of your case and makes sure you understand completely all options. He is completely professional and one of the most affable persons you will ever meet."

"They handled my case with no problem love how effective & efficient they were!"

"John E. Hill and his assistant Jose Duran helped me when I was hit by a drunk driver. During the two year process, I felt that they were always “on my side”. The settlement was successful and they performed beyond my expectations. They were always available for advice and were patient with explanations as I needed them for my first interaction with the court system. The offices still returned my calls even after the settlement, when I needed to interact with the district attorney’s office. Hopefully I will never be in a similar situation again, but if something like this happens to me or my loved ones in the future, I would definitely hire them."

"I was represented by INNA BIMITS in a workers compensation case. She is the BEST!!! I couldn’t have had a better attorney than her. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a workers compensation case. Her Assistant’s were very nice, helpful, and returned my calls right away. It was a long process but they were with me through it all. They were very patient with me explaining every process and gave me great advice. Inna gave me the best results possible and I am very pleased with her representation. Hiring her was the best decision ever."

"I was in a high impact rear-end automobile collision a few years back (early 2014) and after making the mistake of dealing with the at fault drivers insurance company on my own for several months I decided to start searching for a Personal Injury Attorney. A family member recommended I call the Law Office of Mr. John E. Hill during my search. I’m so glad I did because I could not have found a better person to represent me… from the moment we met and sat down to discuss what happened he demonstrated empathy, sincerity and care twards my current state and without him and his knowledgeable & well experienced team fighting on my behalf I wouldn’t have been able to secure the settlement I did…it took a while but these types of things usually do ….I can’t recommend him ENOUGH!"

"Exquisite advice with Worker’s Compensation Case! This law office, all support staff, and assistants are responsive and helpful. I especially appreciate the legal advice and clarifications I received from Joanne Helvig, Esq. She is an excellent lawyer, fights hard, is thorough, provides great attention to every detail, sorted through financial bills, and got me through a long legal battle. I appreciate this great lawyer. As an injured worker, I got what I needed."

"John Hill helped me file a lawsuit and negotiate a settlement after I was a pedestrian struck by a van. I give John and his staff my highest recommendation: he is the absolute best of personal injury lawyers. I had hired another lawyer at a different firm before John and was extremely dissatisfied – the other guy was condescending, insensitive, and un-supportive while I was in pain and traumatized from my injury. Then I hired John, and he couldn’t be more different – in the best way possible. He is caring, empathetic, understanding, and willing to explain the complicated legal process to his clients. He and his staff handled everything efficiently and competently – and explained everything thoroughly to me throughout every step of the process. Surviving my injuries and the lawsuit that followed it is the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through, but John made the process as bearable as possible. When everything was coming to a close, he negotiated a substantial settlement that covered all my medical bills and made me feel like he did the best job possible winning compensation for my pain and suffering. John Hill deserves 6 stars out of 5."

I was a client of Ian Cooper, he was very professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an excellent Workman’s Comp. Lawyer. Thank you!"

"John E. Hill is genuinely one of the nicest persons you will ever meet. His easy going, down to earth (yet very professional) style really made me feel comfortable and confident that I had an excellent attorney. As you interact with him, you will quickly notice that he is very intelligent, observant, and asks many questions. He was very helpful and extremely patient in answering my questions and making sure that I fully understood what my cases were about and the courses he would pursue with them . . . I have read some news articles about John E. Hill. They talk about Mr. Hill’s unique style of lawyering and how he is respected by and consults with other attorneys (plaintiff and defense). I have also read about his MANY years of experience and the wide-ranging cases he has successfully taken to trial or settled. I can’t recommend he and his staff enough: polite, concerned, diligent and professional. I think John E. Hill is one of the BEST attorneys around."
