Testimonials

My experience was wonderful! This was my first time having to hire an attorney. I did so because of a frontal fall hitting my face on concrete. Jennifer was great and always kept me informed every step of the way.  She made me feel very comfortable in having to relive my accident. If ever I should need to hire an attorney again Jennifer is it! – VC

For the last decade, delivering groceries has been my sole source of income.
In March of 2025, while delivering an order, I was attacked by a pit bull.
The homeowner never apologized. She just kept yelling, “Let me see your arm.”
I got out of there, drove to the ER, they ran it under cold water, gave me antibiotics, told me to file a police report, and sent me on my way.
Naively, I thought, “Okay… once these wounds heal, life will go back to normal.”
I had no idea what was coming.
The physical recovery lasted far longer than I ever imagined, but the PTSD changed everything. I eventually decided on my own to try physical therapy, hoping I could get my life back.
Then I read the homeowner’s response to the police report.
She claimed it never happened.
She called me a liar.
That hurt almost as much as the bite itself. I struggled with whether I should even pursue anything legally. The entire situation felt dehumanizing. The thought of court was overwhelming, and all I wanted was for it to be over.
A friend encouraged me to call an attorney.
Honestly? I didn’t want a lawyer. I didn’t want any of this.
But someone’s refusal to take responsibility left me feeling like I had no choice.
Then I met Jenny Anton.
The first thing she did was give me a hug.
In that moment, someone finally saw this for what it really was—trauma.
From day one, she never treated me like just another client. She was patient, answered every question with kindness, and never made me feel like I was a burden. I don’t have much family anymore, and attorneys always felt intimidating to me.
Jenny changed that.
Over the last year and a half, she’s felt more like a sister than my attorney.
There were so many times I wanted to quit. I was exhausted. I was so tired of talking about this dog and reliving it over and over again.
Every time, Jenny gently reminded me:
“You have a voice… and you can use it. You’re doing the right thing.”
When my voice wasn’t loud enough, hers was!
At one of the most vulnerable seasons of my life, she took me under her wing.
I’ll never forget that.
Some people practice law.
Others help people heal.
Jenny did both. The case is FINALLY over & we settled for a life changing amount.

I am forever grateful for you and the friendship we developed 💜

My attorney who doesn’t work with injury cases highly recommended Benjamin Mills at Gruel Mills. As soon as I spoke with Benjamin I knew that this was the right office it just felt good and I knew that my questions would be answered.
At our next virtual conversation he introduced me to Jennifer Anton, (Jenny) besides being very friendly Jenny is diligent and things began to progress. She stayed right after everything. She routinely communicated with me as to the progress letting me know what to expect next without giving unreal expectations. Thanks to Jenny and Benjamin my issue was resolved. – JS

My attorney, Jenny was knowledgeable, punctual, personal and caring. The entire team (Tom included), treated me with respect and dignity. They truly wanted to help me and worked diligently to assist me with my situation. Not only was everyone kind, but they also showed empathy, compassion, and respected my time. I appreciate this team so much, with a special thanks to my attorney who did everything she could to get me to a better place, so that I can live a better quality of life. Thank you!!! – JL

My case was very complex and hard. From day one Bill and Jenny worked hard and did not give up. They continued to dig in. Both are kind and compassionate and keep you informed every step of the way. I can not fully express my gratitude for them both –DT

After being turned down by two other firms, I was greatly relieved when Jenny M. Anton agreed to take my case. I soon realized she was the perfect attorney for me following my injury.  Jenny is smart, persistent, and knowledgeable. She has always been compassionate, kind, and reassuring. With every twist and turn in the case, she has remained positive, undaunted, and come up with innovative responses. I feel very good about he legal representation of me. Thank you Jenny! –WR
