Large-firm resources with small-firm attention

Each of our attorneys works directly with her or his own paralegal and secretary, creating a team of highly skilled professionals who handle every detail of your case. This means that you have at least three people diligently resolving your claim. Through this team approach, we are able to address every detail of your case and expedite its completion for quicker recovery of damages. You can count on the personal attention that is a hallmark of our firm.

Our extensive resources also allow us to successfully litigate large and complex injury cases. We have won several million-dollar verdicts and settlements, and we have reached maximum available awards in our other injury, catastrophic accident, medical malpractice, auto accident and workers compensation.

Supporting your right to pursue just compensation

Gelman Gelman Wiskow & McCarthy LLC handles all of its cases on a contingency basis; you do not owe us for attorneys’ fees until we recover damages on your claim. In addition, our firm advances all costs of litigation in most cases. To lower costs, our in-house staff performs most investigations, and we retain outside investigators only if we determine that it is likely to increase your final damages award. We clearly explain our billing process at your no-obligation, free initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

$800,000.00 settlement in less than nine (9) months!
In September of 2025, Phil Wiskow settled a legal malpractice case, resulting from a botched personal injury case, for $800,000.00. Most significantly, Mr. Wiskow settled the case less than nine (9) months after the client hired him. Since the client settled his botched case for over $200,000.00, the full amount of the client's recovery exceeded one million dollars.
Settled his 60 year old client’s motorcycle accident case for $1,700,000.00
In the Spring of 2017, Phil Wiskow settled his 60 year old client’s motorcycle accident case for $1,700,000.00. Frankly, the case would have settled for more money but the most culpable party only had a $300,000.00 liability insurance policy. The firm’s client, who was already disabled and receiving social security benefits at the time of his accident, sustained multiple lower leg fractures–which ultimately resulted in numerous surgeries and an above the knee amputation–when a delivery van blindly backed out of a loading dock and pinned his leg against his bike. The majority of the client’s settlement money was paid by the owner of a tractor-trailer and the lessee of the loading dock whose dangerous loading and unloading procedures blocked the van driver’s view of the motorcycle and the firm’s client’s view of the van.
VERDICTS & SETTLEMENTS
  • In the Spring of 2020, Phil Wiskow settled a motor vehicle/motorcycle accident case for the Defendant’s 1.3M policy limit. The terms of the settlement are confidential.
