Personal Injury Case

The law office was very helpful in getting me a settlement in a motor vehicle accident which resulted in two surgeries and the the at fault driver was underinsured. They negotiated well with my insurance company USAA to get the best possible settlement. Highly recommend them!

Excellent job providing me top quality legal service

Thanks to Lynn, Robert, and their staff for an excellent job handling my most difficult motor vehicle accident case that other local lawyers refused to accepted. Lynn always took time to call to informed me of the difficult challenges our case face and the not so difficult ones. She never let me d...own and i am proud to say Robert Katz and his firm did a great job and they know they are one phone call away in the event I need their service again. Thanks Robert and Lynn for being there for me when the odds was written against me. Your firm gave me hope and a wonderful outcome. We beat the odds!!

Attorney Katz is the best

I was driving a tractor trailer that over turned. I didn't go to the hospital after the accident as I thought that my injuries were not serious as they turned out to be. No other attorney would take my case, all the ambulance chasers saw my case and ran for the hills. Rob Katz knew that my case wo...uld be complex and take some time. Rob Katz stayed the course, and ended up bringing the trucking company from Chicago and a metal company from Kentucky to the table to pay out in excess of $300K for medical, loss wages, pain, and suffering. Give your case a personalized touch and allow Attorney Katz and his staff to serve you. Trust me, there is not a legal professional with more experience, more talent, and desire to be your advocate to get you the settlement that you deserve.

Highly recommended!

The service provided by this lawyer far exceeded my expectations and he made sure the right party was held accountable and made them responsible for their reckless action. I am very grateful for Bryant Mildenhall's help and I highly recommend his services.

Milden-Hall of Excellence

I would like to offer my sincere gratitude to our attorney, Briant Mildenhall, for his outstanding representation. He saw the merits of our case and gave our case the attention it needed to be successful. We were awarded the most we could have been awarded in our case and I believe because of his (an...d his firm's) commitment to our needs it ended the best it could have under the circumstances. I will definitely know who to turn to if I should ever need a lawyer in the future, though hopefully not. Thank you again, Briant! You were very professional and courteous to my wife and I each and every visit. Your patience and level-headedness were our allies during this time. We'd just like to add a good luck and prosperous law career, Sir.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
