Our Pennsylvania law firm referred our clients to the HJV firm for a tragic, motorcycle crash, wrongful death case in Kentucky. It was the best decision we could have made. Jay Vaughn and his office immediately spearheaded a thorough, boots-on-the-ground investigation, and from there aggressively pursued the case to a tremendous result. All the while, Jay and his office interacted with the surviving family members with the utmost compassion and respect, and kept all of us promptly informed of case developments. We could not have asked for and received anything better! If you are an attorney needing to refer a case, or a person needing an attorney to handle the traumatic consequences of a serious personal injury matter, I cannot think of a better law firm to hire than Jay and the HJV firm.

I was in a car accident in July 2020 and Jay Vaughn helped me navigate through my mounting medical bills and suggested I see a Spine Specialist for my neck and back pain. He made the process seamless. He not only helped me with the legal aspects of my case, but he continually checked on me. Jay helped me to regain my life back!

Thank you for the job you and your firm have done for me the honesty was very important.

Great team, very professional.I am very grateful to them for their help at a tragic time in my life.I want to tell you I really appreciate everything you did for me.

Performed above and beyond every possible standard, securing a fair settlement beyond my expectations. Strongly recommend for any legal issue anyone may have.

My case was tedious and quite trying initially. Dealing with unreasonable insurance companies and lazy attorneys from the outset was really nerve wrecking. Once Jay and his crew joined the fray, everything changed- for the better. I highly recommend this law firm.

When you experience a personal injury, so many things are lost or affected. I felt all alone, overwhelmed by a mountain of burdens, as I tried to navigate where to turn to next. I want to thank Jay and his team for always being there to help guide my way. With them, I never felt alone, I always had someone there to help, encourage and guide me through a complex process toward resolution. I highly recommend Jay as an honest, dedicated lawyer who will fight for you and your family.

Our lives were turned upside down when my husband was innocently involved in a horrific accident! We are very blessed that he survived. As the days, weeks, and months passed it became evident that his injuries were permanent and that has been devastating. We didn’t hire an attorney for the first year because my husband thought he would lose his job that he had worked so incredibly hard to obtain. After a year, he was fired anyway. We then searched for an attorney. It turned out we didn’t pick one that was knowledgeable enough about how trucking cases work, nor was he humble enough to admit that for over 3 years. It became very evident to me at a mediation meeting, 3 1/2 years after the accident. I demanded he find someone to take over. That is when Jay Vaughn came into the picture. My husband and I sat in an office in Cincinnati at our first meeting with Jay and he listened for hours as I explained everything we had been through to him. I could tell her cared-deeply! Over the next few weeks he started to put together a case for us. I quickly realized he didn’t miss or forget one thing I said to him! He became like family in a very short time. Most importantly he cared about my husband and that was the first time I felt like I wasn’t the only one fighting for him! Jay is intelligent, analytical, organized, but also down to earth and super easy to communicate with. It wasn’t long before Jay started to put an end to the hell we had been through with the defense. Due to a lack of performance by our original attorney this case had drug our way too long and we had been drug right along with it. I will spare the horrid details. Jay could quickly see the distress we were in. The lawsuit was taking a serious toll on our whole family, but especially my husband and his ability to heal both physically and mentally. Jay devised a plan and called the defense and stopped some of the things that were taking place. He also set up an informal meeting with the lead defense attorney very quickly. He flew out of state and sat in an airport for hours. Prior to leaving he called me on a weekend and went over all of the details of his plan and expectations. What a relief it was to have someone truly on our side! The airport meeting worked! He was able to settle our case that day! Wow! And he settled it for exactly what he prepared us for. The only mistake we made was choosing the wrong attorney from the beginning. I thank God for sending Jay to us when we desperately needed him. He was more than we ever could have expected! Jay is a leader, an amazing negotiator, and a force to be reckoned with! When the defense saw that he was taken over our case, they were in a hurry to settle. In closing, nothing will ever make what happened right, but Jay Vaughn went above and beyond to get every dollar possible so that my husband can get the care he needs! 

You will want to hire Attorney Jay Vaughn! When my son was in a serious car accident involving a tractor trailer we didn't know where to go or what to do. We needed to find not only a good attorney but one who specializes in these type of cases. Thank goodness we found Mr. Vaughn, who is one of the top attorney's involving tractor trailers. From that first meeting with him we knew we could not go wrong, we were in good hands. We expected professionalism, knowledge and all the things you expect from an attorney and we got that and a whole lot more. Mr. Vaughn was personable and genuinely concerned for our son. He was not bothered by all our questions and calls, and trust me there was a lot! He was always available to talk to us. He treated my son as if he was his own. Whether he likes it or not, Mr. Vaughn will always be a part of our family, not because of the incredible job he did in getting justice for my son, but because of the person that he is: kind, considerate, and with a good heart. If you want an attorney who is not only incredibly knowledgeable and will work hard for you, hire Mr. Jay Vaughn because you will get all that plus you will be getting an attorney who has a big heart and who is a good person.

On January 9th, 2019 my children were involved in a car accident on the way to school that took the life of their mother. As I was selecting a firm to represent my kids, several endorsements were made for Ron Johnson and Jay Vaughn. However, one particular recommendation stood out. I discussed the case with a personal friend who also is an attorney from Greater Cincinnati. He could've endorsed his firm but instead suggested that Johnson, Hendy and Vaughn would be the firm he would chose. Working with Ron and Jay could NOT have been a better experience. They always showed compassion for the loss my children had endured however, they never lost focus of the job in front of them. As the case progressed though the delays from Covid-19, the firm was outstanding balancing the information that we needed vs what we didn't need. In the end we ended up with a $74 Million Dollar verdict because of the superior work of Ron and Jay. They applied the law and the facts in order to guide my family and a Boone County jury to justice in the wrongful death of Amy Layne Skiba. Thank you Ron Johnson and Jay Vaughn for your professionalism and friendships. Sincerely, The Godwin family
