HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT?
After years of working to build another successful workers’ compensation and personal injury firm in the region, David Jerome made the bold decision to create a fresh new firm with a fresh and client-centered approach. Part of the decision came from the frustration of working in large firms on both the sides (plaintiff and defendant). He saw that many firms were focusing on volume over customer service. Much like large “big box” superstores that have only a small number of employees and aisle after aisle of foreign-made goods, law firms were starting to adopt this model of representation. The assembly line approach to legal services is bad for clients, bad for the profession, and even bad for attorneys who want to help.
David invited two experienced colleagues to join him on his mission to improve the quality of client representation throughout the region. Today, David, Rick and Jeff provide a compassionate and proven trio of legal wisdom and excellence that is perhaps one of the most dynamic combinations in the area.
Each of our attorneys focuses his practice on specific areas of the law. We do not attempt to be everything to everybody. Instead, we help clients find the resources they need to successfully solve their legal issues. Sometimes that means we can help. Other times, we might need to direct people to a firm that is better suited to assist them. Either way, we want our clients to feel comfortable making us their first phone call for whatever legal challenges they are facing. Reach out to us online or call us at (618) 726-2222.

Common Myths About Personal Injury Lawyers
Bigger is Better, right?
Insurance Companies Are Afraid of Big Law Firms?
We Need Tort Reform to Keep Insurance Costs Down?
So incredibly wrong. In fact, research has repeatedly shown that in states where tort reform made the biggest impact, insurance prices still continued to escalate. Just because an insurance company saves money does not mean they are going to just voluntarily lower prices to help the public. Instead, they just keep the profits and continue to mistreat and under-compensate innocent people. What’s more, in states that adopted “no-fault” insurance (like Florida and Michigan), insurance rates went through the roof, because it deprived people of the right to hold others accountable for their actions. At Jerome Salmi Kopis we simply stick to the traditional values of the profession. We demand that people be accountable for their own errors and careless actions. It’s not just the law, it’s a fundamental value of our American Constitution.
