  • “Matt Bilker was very responsive to my case and kept me well informed about the progress he was making on my behalf over this past year and a half. I am very pleased with Matt’s and Missy’s performance and because of that, I am very pleased with the settlement that I received. Thank you, Matt and Missy, for a job well done. If I ever need any legal advice or know of anyone that does, I will recommend Matt Bilker at Eckell, Sparks, Levy, Auerbach, Monte, Sloane, Matthews & Auslander, P.C.”

  • “I was hit by a drunk driver late one night. My ten-year-old daughter was in the car with me. I will never forget that night. The lights from the car that hit me, the immediate pain and terror. Then came all of the questions about how I would get my life back together. Matt Bilker won’t give up until the negligent party pays for what they’ve done to you and he understands that it only takes a second to change your life forever. He makes sure that you are always informed of the legal process step by step. I had a lot of questions and a different lawyer when I started my case. Then I found Matt Bilker and all of that changed. I wish I could explain how at ease I felt once I knew he was the attorney representing me in what turned out to be one of the most pivotal times in my life. Now, after going through a jury trial, I get to remember how it felt when the jury stood up and awarded me not only a substantial amount of money, but the feeling of justice. Matt made sure I knew that I mattered, that what happened to my family and I mattered, that the woman who decided to get drunk and operate her car would pay for what she did. I know that without Matt I would have had a totally different outcome. I can’t say enough good things about Matt Bilker. Insurance companies try to dismiss you and your injuries like they are worthless or they act like you should be “all better” when you know you are not. Don’t let them dismiss you. Call Matt Bilker and get the justice that you deserve.”

  • “5 stars! Eckell Sparks Law Firm is professional, kind, caring and thorough. Matt Bilker worked hard to get me the settlement that was due to me. He guided me along the way through unfamiliar territory as I have never initiated a lawsuit against anyone. We plan to use Eckell Sparks for our other law needs in the future.”

  • “I strongly recommend Matt Bilker as a civil trial attorney in Delaware County. When I was sued for a significant amount of money and assets, I retained Eckell Sparks and Matt Bilker. Matt developed a comprehensive litigation strategy to give me the best chance of success. He was easy to get a hold of, fair with billing, and kept me regularly informed and up to date on how my case was proceeding.

    When we were unable to achieve a fair settlement. Matt was confident in taking the case to trial. In the courtroom, he was strong, articulate and persuasive. After two days of trial, we achieved a very favorable verdict and made out even better than our last settlement offer. If you need a trial lawyer, go with Matt.”

  • “A friend of mine referred me to Eckell & Sparks. That referral turned out to be golden. I retained them to represent me in my personal injury case. And my case was a very complicated matter. Matt Bilker was my attorney. He is very professional and knowledgeable. Matt’s excellent strategy and litigation skills achieved us an extremely favorable settlement. I highly recommend this law firm.”
