The case took longer than I hoped, but they kept me informed and the result was worth the wait.

Motorcycle crash, and the other side tried to blame me. The attorney pushed back with a reconstruction report and we settled before trial.
✓ Phone verified · Moderator approvedAfter 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 approvedThey came to the hospital for the first meeting since I couldn’t drive. Very kind and patient staff.
