Our track record of favorable results earned for clients is one reason to turn to
Choulos & Wyle, but it cannot tell the whole story. The caring, focused
personal attention our senior attorneys, George V.Choulos and Claude Wyle,
provide clients through every phase of their cases is equally important.
THE FIRM
We are experienced injury and accident attorneys who still have as much
horsepower, energy, enthusiasm, dedication and devotion as when we were
youngermaybe even more so now.
We take cases we believe in and aim to serve client needs first and foremost.
The size and experience of our firm also allows us to give each client the personal attention
and service he or she deserves. Our clients arent sent to lower-level associates; instead, the
partners spend a lot of time working directly with clients. Our size enables us to focus on the
quality, not quantity, of cases. This allows us to develop personal relationships with each
client and put a lot of resources towards each case.
Were not afraid to take on difficult cases; we wont shy away from a challenge if
were equipped and have the resources to help.
Were dedicated and have a high level of enthusiasm when reaching the ultimate goal
to make a difference in our clients lives.
Staff is equally invested in getting the best possible results for each individual client.
We believe in accountability and that accountability makes people safer. This is part
of what drives us to do the work we love.
Living up to our reputation is important; well turn over every stone possible in every
case and invest the resources needed to serving our clients needs.
We lay offer a free initial consultation. We are often able to offer direction on cases
we dont accept and help the person in need get on the right track.
The personal and direct service we provide clients is an integral part of our firm
because we value strong relationships with every client we represent. This approach
allows us to better understand our clients needs and get the best results suited to their
situations.
We believe our relationships with other lawyers, judges, and legal professionals are
just as important. We maintain these relationships through networking, working
together on cases, mentoring younger lawyers and upholding a high level of
professionalism in everything we do.

Describing George
Driven. Safety-oriented. Doesnt shy away from difficult cases. Sees opportunities for justice
and fights for the underdog.
The determination, understanding and sincerity George shows when working with his clients
and giving advice to those in need is impossible to miss. All relationships are important to
George, whether hes working with a client, potential client, someone in need of advice or a
fellow lawyer. He works directly with his clients, giving them the personal service and
attention they deserve.
Bettering Lives
One of the things that motivates George is being able to give a voice to those who, without
his help, wouldnt be heard or get the best results in a settlement. Giving people a chance at a
better life is extremely rewarding and humbling, and pushes him to keep doing what he does.
Advocating Change
George also has a passion for creating change, shown through his and the firms dedication to
fighting for the safety of people who choose alternative forms of transportation, including
pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists. His beliefs, the environmental benefits of these
alternatives, and being an avid cyclist and motorcyclist, give him an edge and enthusiasm for
this area of law; he understands the situation on a personal level, as well as the regulations
and rights when representing those injured while taking one of these other forms of
transportation.
