This summer I made a mistake that got me into trouble with the law. I called Carson & Coil and they connected me with Jason Ludwig. At our first meeting Jason told me straight out the worst case scenario in my situation, but he also said he would work his hardest to help me with the courts. Jason and his assistant Vicki did a great job keeping me informed and letting me know what they needed from me. After a few months of hard work on my case, we finally got the whole thing resolved with the judge. I was very happy with the outcome and what I have to do for my part and I was extremely happy with Jason representing me. He did an awesome job!!

I had occasion to find myself in a situation with an insurance company unwilling to pay their part of a claim. I struggled with this for over two years until my savings were almost gone, my health following suit and my documentation filled a rolling suitcase. Someone suggested an attorney and referred me to Mark Ludwig.

Mark met with me, reviewed my claim and in a short period of time, sorted through a daunting array of facts, figures, quickly contacted the insurance company and received a rapid reply. He suggested how we needed to proceed and kept me informed every step of the way and even utilized email for some forms of communication which made things easier given my health. Mark told me what to expect going into this, what could be hoped for and what was essentially unrealistic. His previous experience even allowed him to estimate how long it would take them to respond and what was likely to be their reply so he could discuss with me how we needed to proceed. As the deadline approached to determine settlement or court case, Mark had them promptly attending meetings and finally, offering a fair settlement. All this he managed to accomplish with a professional and relaxed attitude and even a sense of humor when necessary. He even sent a refund of overpayment on his retainer before I had the chance to request the final bill!

Throughout this experience, I felt as though someone was actually working for me. I had a sense of someone who was well able to handle my case and made me comfortable with the procedure. Phone calls and questions were promptly answered and no question seemed unworthy of a reply. He didn't "tell" me what to do, but made suggestions and advised what would be in my best interest based on his experience. I would consider him to be honest, reliable, friendly down-to-earth and definitely well qualified in his field. Without hesitation, I would (and have done so) referred others to him and will surely bring my future legal matters to Mark.

Dear Jason Call - I just wanted to thank you for the help you've given me in getting my life back and back on track. While I don't have my license in hand at this moment, I feel there is hope.

Mr. Mark Ludwig is a very good lawyer and good friend. He has helped me a lot in doing things and he helps in the community. He is at his best at all times and if there is something that he does not know he will find out before he tells a person that is best for them. Throughout the time he helped me, he and the associates that helped me, did a fine job. They knew that I could not come to him so they came to me. I would recommend his law firm to many people.

Caught in the middle of a lawsuit between the previous fee agent and the State of Missouri, my partners and I were unable to open our business. A temporary injunction issued four days before we were to open. Our contractual obligations met, we were left paying the expenses for our business with no income, no end in sight, and no one representing our best interests. Time was not on our side. With our life savings invested in our business, each day this lawsuit continued brought us closer to losing everything. At the suggestion of an associate, we contacted Chip Gentry of Carson & Coil. He and Jason Ludwig proved to be the best choice we could have made.

Awarding the license offices through the state bid process had just begun. Our attorneys, tasked with representing us in this uncharted legal territory, must also navigate the volumes of policy and the inner workings of the Department of Administration and the Department of Revenue. The professional demeanor of both Mr. Gentry and Mr. Ludwig served us well. Our concerns became their concerns. Arriving at each hearing well prepared to represent our interests they impressed the urgency of our situation to the court and at the end of the day succeeded in obtaining a decision in our favor. Their combination of ethics, tenacity, accessibility, and tactical superiority in the courtroom make them a formidable ally. You want in your corner, representing your legal interests, Chip Gentry and Jason Ludwig of Carson & Coil Law Firm.

After breaking my ankle in a slip and fall injury on an icy sidewalk, I decided to contact an attorney to see if I had any legal options to cover my current and future out-of-pocket expenses. An attorney in Columbia discovered a no-fault policy that would only cover my out-of-pocket expenses up to $5,000. He told me that slip and fall cases were difficult at best and that I should be content with the limited amount I would receive. Fortunately for me, I called Carson and Coil and was given an appointment with Mark Ludwig. After reviewing my case, Mark told me that I had solid grounds for a more significant recovery. Under his representation, I received settlements of over $80,000 dollars in addition to the $5,000 no-fault policy. After three surgeries and lingering effects that may result in a change in my career, I am quite content with the added stability provided by these settlements. I truly believe Mark was sincere in his desire to look out for my best interests, and he was certainly a powerful advocate for my case. The results of his efforts far exceeded my expectations.
