After my husband suffered a severe traumatic brain injury in a multi-vehicle accident, we were overwhelmed and sought an attorney with deep experience in catastrophic injury. Jon Karon came highly recommended. From our first meeting at his Boston office, his 39 years of practice were evident. He explained the complex medical and legal issues surrounding TBIs with clarity, never talking down to us, and his background in personal injury litigation, for which he's been recognized, gave us immense confidence. He and his team at Karon Law LLC built a meticulous case, consulting with top medical experts to fully capture the long-term impact of the injury. The settlement he negotiated has secured my husband's future care. While the outcome was excellent, there were periods during the 18-month process where communication from his office could lag a few days, which was stressful when we had urgent questions. That said, Jon was always personally engaged in the critical phases. His dedication is absolute. For anyone facing a life-altering injury, Jon's expertise from Boston University School of Law and his national practice perspective are invaluable assets. We are profoundly grateful for his guidance and tenacity.
