JOSEPH KLEST: When someone is involved in a motor vehicle accident, car accident, truck accident, motorcycle, even a train or a plane accident, it's really important that they consult with an attorney right away. In many of these cases, evidence can be lost within days if somebody hasn't preserved it. It's not always necessary to hire a lawyer right away but it's really important to consult with one who's knowledgeable and understands when and in what circumstances evidence needs to be preserved. I would urge anyone who's been injured in any type of motor vehicle accident to contact me immediately. It's not always necessary that they hire an attorney, but it's really important that they speak to someone like me, who is experienced and can tell them whether or not they have to save the evidence.

JOSEPH KLEST: One of the first things that people want to know when they're injured is do they need to hire a lawyer right away. In some cases it's extremely important to get a lawyer right away; in some cases they can wait. But they should always contact a lawyer to get a consultation to determine whether or not there's additional investigation that needs to be done. You can bet that there's an insurance adjustor, as you're watching this video, out there gathering statements, collecting evidence, to minimize the claim. So I would always urge people to call me for a free consultation, at least to determine whether or not there's some additional investigation that needs to be completed to preserve the integrity of their case.

JOSEPH KLEST: You have to understand that hiring a lawyer is a very difficult decision. Most people have not had experience doing that and they're scared by it; they don't really know what to do. I think it's important that people are comfortable with their lawyer, that they can talk to their lawyer, and more importantly, that they're confident that their lawyer has the experience and expertise necessary to prosecute their case. I've been handling injury cases for over 26-years, in and around Chicago land. I've even represented lawyers, I've represented the children of lawyers. More importantly, from my perspective, though, clients are not all the same. They're all individuals; they have individual needs. Some people have financial hardships and where possible, I try to accommodate that.

JOSEPH KLEST: When someone's been injured, through the negligence through a doctor or a nurse, or a hospital, it's really important to talk to an experienced attorney immediately. Often, we need to get the records right away, you may even make a decision about future medical care based on the advice of the attorney. I would urge anyone who feels they've been the victim of medical negligence, to contact me immediately. We can discuss whether or not they should get an attorney right away and what they should do in terms of staying with their current doctor or trying to find someone who might be less biased.

JOSEPH KLEST: One of the injury fields that I'm most known for and I have somewhat of a national reputation in, is handling civil sexual abuse claims. I handled one of the first sexual abuse claims, in 1991, involving a Roman Catholic Priest. Since then I've handled well over 150 civil sexual abuse cases involving priests, teachers, family members. I was one of the co-authors of Senate Bill 1035, which resulted in the 2003 amendments to this sexual abuse statute of limitations. The real social significance of the expanded sexual abuse statute of limitations that we got passed in 2003, is that when someone is molested, as a child, it often takes decades for them to come to grips with it and to summon the courage to take steps against their perpetrator. What happened in decades, and even centuries past, is that when people who were molested as a child came forward, it was often too late. Lawyers would say the statue of limitations has expired; prosecutors wouldn't prosecute. With the change in the statute of limitations there was much more time for the victim to come to grips and really understand that they were the victim. Sexual abuse is extremely hard on children and when they reach young adulthood, I mean, I still get calls from people who are 40 and 50-years old who feel that the sexual abuse they suffered when they were 12, 13, 14-years old, has completely altered their life. It has a profound impact on the way they develop and the way they grow, and the earlier it's stopped the better. Or the earlier that the victim is supported by society, either through a lawsuit or the criminal court system, or just family members rallying around them, the better. So I would encourage anyone who is the victim of sexual abuse, either currently or in the past, call me or even email me. You can do it anonymously. You don't have to hire me. I can advise you on what your options are and maybe start you on the road to healing.

MALE VOICE: For myself, it was very, very difficult for me to reach out for help. I actually chose Joe Klest because he came very highly regarded. After talking with Joe, I realized that he's not like any other attorney that I've ever talked to. He's very special. And the reason why I say, special, is because of the fact that he'll listen to me. I was told that this is an attorney that I could sit down with, I could talk to, I could just let it all out. I am recommending Joe Klest because of many, many reasons. He was there with me at seminars, workshops; he's someone that I could call any time, any place, any day. He's an individual that needs to be recognized. He's a real attorney, a real attorney. I've spoken with a lot of attorneys and after sitting and talking over and over, for hours, I made my decision and my decision was to have Joe Klest representing me. I just can't say enough. He's just one of a kind. He's one of a kind.
