      Review Carin O'Donnell

      Highly Recommended

      Posted by

      I sustained permanent injuries in a motor vehicle accident in 2016, Carin not only took on my case but showed compassion and empathy for my situation as our lawyer. We had constant communication and Carin addressed my questions and concerns in a professional and timely manner. She negotiated a fair settlement and fought for what was right and just in our case. I would highly recommend Carin for any personal injury concerns.

      Carin O'Donnell recently represented me in my personal injury case. Without hesitation I would recommend Carin to anyone, as well as use her and Stark & Stark again. A few areas very important to me that Carin covered throughout my case was communication, professionalism, knowledge and expertise, as well as being very personable which made everything extremely comfortable throughout the duration of the case. One thing that really sticks out about my case was again, communication. Throughout my case I had many questions and without hesitation called. Carin never failed to stay on the phone with me for as long as I needed until I fully understood the answers to my questions. Carin also stayed very honest throughout the duration, specifically explaining to me my strengths and weaknesses of my case which helped making important decisions easier. She diligently worked to make sure I was satisfied with the conclusion of the case. I would highly recommend Carin O'Donnel in need of a lawyer pertaining to her area of expertise.

      From the outset Carin made me feel like I was part of a team not just a client. Her knowledge, honesty and integrity convinced me I had made the right choice for legal representation. She is truly an exception in a field that has many detractors. She is someone you can count on and trust!

      Car Accident

      I injured my shoulder and needed surgery from a car accident and needed help. Carin O'Donnell handled my case from beginning to end. She was always available to talk on the phone and returned all the messages I left for her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get results.

      Excellent representation!

      Carin O'Donnell gets client more than Settlement Agreement

      Posted by

      Dealing with Carin at Starke and Starke was a pleasure. If she was not available one of her associates always were, I never made a phone call and didn't get a response. Carin and I had spoken and agreed upon a number that she could settle my case. After agreeing to a dollar figure that Carin had my approval to settle, she did not call the insurance company and get that number, she went above and beyond and got 20% more. I would highly recommend Carin and Starke and Starke to family, friends and strangers.

      Very satisfied

      Posted by

      I knew from the start my case was going to be long and that my life was forever changed. It turned out that I would not only have several operations but never return to my union job or any job. I was not only afraid for my current health but my long term future. Carin not only fought to have ALL my medical bills paid she made sure I was paid through the process and even helped me with the disability pay that I still recieve and will continue to recieve for life. More importantly she took the time to make sure that I was okay personally. I can say without reservation that Carin and her staff helped get me through the hardest time of my life. I never once was left alone or without answers
