Slip and fall

For the pain and suffering my wife went through with the multiple surgeries she had to endure, and to wait close to 7 years for the amount she received in the settlement is a crime. Who knows what was spoken in close door discussions between the parties involved. And to be shown on paper that she w...as charged for doctor visits she didn’t attend is just wrong. I cannot in good faith recommend this lawyer, God will always put everyone in there place.

Slip and Fall

This was my attorney for my slip and fall and honestly I did not like his service. After 6 years and 4 surgery later the money I received for the settlement was chump change. As my attorney I felt he should have done a much better job but who knows what happed when it came to negotiating and what was... said between both parties. I feel he did a horrible job especially for the amount of money I received after 6+ years and 4 surgery’s. I also notice in the itemized receipt I had charges for a doctor I never even visit .. I regret having him represent me.

Very well rounded

I was very pleased with how the ----------- law firm handled my case. Specifically the lawyer handling my case from start to finish Mr. Brian Acard was no less than stellar in all aspects. Brian took an active interest in not only the negligent content of the case but also a personal interest in th...e recovery and treatment of the injury. Without being specific I can only say I learned that Head injuries, most specifically Tramatic Brain Injuries are very misunderstood from Professional to Professional, Dr's included. Mr. Acard mad it his personal mission to not only present a well rounded case but to educate everyone involved of the severity of these otherwise un-seen by the naked eye injuries. The passion Mr. Acard showed regarding this case was second to none. I rarely leave reviews for anything , but in this instance I feel that his exemplary effort during this case deserves recognition.

Best lawyer Ever

When I was on 84 a tractor trailer crashed into my car causing my tire to blow out. My vehicle rolled and I was really hurt. I lost consciousness and was diagnosed with a TBI. When my friend told me to call Finkelstein & Partners I didn’t realize how important that call was. I lost a lot of work ...& they helped me every step. The insurance company delayed but the firm assigned me a great trial lawyer, Brian Acard. He was great and helped me prepare for my deposition. I am so happy because the attorney’s at Finkelstein & Partners really helped when I needed them most. At the mediation the insurance company knew we were ready for trial so they eventually agreed to settle my case for what I thought was fair. Thank you Finkelstein & Partners and Brian Acard,I would recommend you to anyone who has a serious injury.

A phenomenal attorney

I cannot say enough about the wonderful staff for the professional and effective service that was provided. Mr. Acard made us feel so comfortable on a personal and professional level. His professionalism, kindness and compassion made it abundantly clear he was willing to do whatever it took to fin...d the justice my family deserved. Mr. Acard went above and beyond to give us the trust, courage and confidence we needed to prevail. He went as far as taking time out of his personal life (evenings, weekends) to accommodate us. He was so patient, kind and understanding with our endless questions and concerns. He by far exceeded our expectations! I don't know how to express our sincere gratitude for what he has done for us. Getting to know Mr. Acard was an honor. Winning the case was a bonus. This is a true reflection of hard work, persistence and dedication. Thank you Mr. Acard for your time, efforts and most of all support, comforting words and kindness. You are truly a good, noble man. Not to mention a phenomenal attorney and I am grateful to have had you representing us. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
