Doug Blaylock — Dropped by Ben Glass

Ben Glass dropped me as his client at a very critical time . I had to quickly scramble in my fight directly because of him. I won the case he dropped

thanks, but we've never had a client by the name of Doug Blaylock. We do have some trolls who like to use fake names and if you go over to our Google My Business Profile, you'll find them.

Ben Glass Law has been honest, reliable, and focused on getting us results

About a year and a half ago, my parents got rear ended by a distracted driver. Their car flipped twice and my parents got injured. They both ended up in the emergency room. One of them had a broken rib, the other one had a lot of big bruises, including a golf ball sized swelling on the head. Their ca...r was totaled. They had never been in an accident like this before and had never even considered suing someone in their lives. For that reason they and I were extremely hesitant to even look for a lawyer. But with my brother’s insistence we started looking for a personal injury lawyer. Based on the reviews we saw on this website, we decided to reach out to Ben Glass Law. We initially met with James Abrenio. I joined all meetings and conversations to help my parents as their translator and supporter. My parents really liked James because he was very rational, honest, and straightforward. He didn’t promise that our case is worth a lot of money but he also said that we have been wronged and that we should get some compensation for what we went through. He was very helpful in explaining the details of the contract we were signing because my parents were worried about hidden clauses. But there wasn’t anything hidden. James openly answered any questions we had, without ever pressuring us for anything. Eventually my parents decided to sign on and go forward with Ben Glass Law and we have been very happy ever since. Over time we worked with Brian as well. They eventually negotiated a settlement for us for an amount squarely in the middle of the numbers they had initially given us as the potential true value of our case. They also helped us get a big portion of something called MedPay, as a courtesy. Hopefully we will never need a personal injury lawyer again. But if we do, we will certainly come back to Ben Glass without hesitation. I would also like to mention Tammy Highline. She was fantastic; super organized and communicative. She made a lot of things run very smoothly, which we greatly appreciated.

Ben Glass and staff

My experience with Ben Glass and his staff was fantastic. Ben is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. He explained the whole process in a simple language that made all the difference for me to understand the legal language. I cannot say enough about his staff. She was very good, knowledgeable... and patient. Appreciate all their help in resolving my case.

Long-Term Disability Claim

Where to begin? I suffered a traumatic brain injury, completely rendering me helpless and disabled. I was granted short-term disability and felt comforted by the insurance company. After months of waiting, my long-term disability was denied. The insurance company cited various items that had no relev...ance on the outcome of my claim, went outside of legal time-frames for the claim, and denied me the right to have a qualified doctor review my claim. Further, they used the evaluation of a Nurse to overturn the diagnosis provided by industry leading Neurologists and various other specialists. Not having any time or cognitive ability to take necessary steps to appeal or acquire legal counsel, I spent every cent I had, even burning through retirement funds due to lack of income. After 9 months of additional recovery time, I was referred to Ben Glass Law by another attorney as I began my search for legal help. I was unbelievably hesitant about this process and worst of all, oblivious about the process. Even after speaking with the firm, I had my doubts, the insurance company seemed so difficult to deal with. However, little did I know that I was in absolutely amazing hands. The process was tireless, and unbelievably irritating for someone with a brain injury. However, Ben Glass Law was unbelievably diligent and meticulous about collecting every last detail and medical record so they could build the strongest and most aggressive case possible. Their patience, compassion, and understanding of my condition throughout the process made me feel like I wasn't alone, and like I had the help of a team that really cared about me, they ultimately gave me hope. After a long period of collecting the facts, they submitted my appeal; it was intelligent, overwhelmingly detailed, aggressive, and personal. 10 days ago, we won the appeal. I can support my family now, I can pay my bills, I can sleep. They saved me. Thank you Ben, thank you Olivia, I'm so happy to be a part of the family and know that I have a great team in my corner. Don't hesitate like I did, I promise you don't have to, hire Ben Glass Law!

I can only say good things about my experience with Ben Glass Law. Because my claim was not for a large amount, many of the attorneys I initially contacted refused my case or eliminated me as a possible client during the first interview. This was very frustrating because I had a legitimate claim and ...all I was asking for was an attorney who was willing to review my case evidence rather than potential award amount before making a decision on representing me. This changed when I contacted Ben Glass Law. They formulated a plan to review all of the evidence, provided options so I could make an informed decision, and kept in regular contact during the entire process. I am very happy to say that, due to their hard work and diligence, they were successful in securing a favorable outcome in my case.
