After my rear-end crash the insurer offered almost nothing. The firm took over every call and the final settlement covered my medical bills and lost wages.
✓ Phone verified · Moderator approvedProfessional, organized and responsive. The settlement was more than three times the first offer.
✓ Phone verified · Moderator approvedThe case took longer than I hoped, but they kept me informed and the result was worth the wait.
