Very helpful and attentive

After my car accident, I was scared and being called regularly by the other party's insurance company to accept a settlement while I was still shaken up and seeking physical therapy. I had not worked with a lawyer before and didn't know what I needed. Andrew Pickett was suggested to me, and when I re...ached out, he spoke directly to me to explain the whole process and listened and understood my fears and concerns. The calls from the insurance company stopped, and I was able to focus on my recovery. Andrew's team of paralegals were very good at keeping me informed at every stage when there was an update and if they were experiencing any delays. They made sure that I did not get bothered and helped me reach a resolution in a stress free manner so that I could focus on other things that needed my attention. I would recommend to anyone that Andrew Pickett will always be my first choice in a situation like this.

Best attorney I have ever worked with

I sustained injuries in an accident due to the negligence of someone else. Andrew Pickett was my personal injury attorney. He and his paralegals, Vonda Vassar and Tina Johnson clearly deserve 5 Stars. Andrew immediately explained the details of my insurance policy and was my advocate with the insura...nce company to ensure that I received just compensation. Andrew diligently worked on my case and was prepared to go to trial to ensure that justice was served. From our very first meeting, Andrew advised me that his goal was to get my life back on track and to make me whole again after suffering through injuries. I felt that I was in good hands with Andrew and his paralegal team. I had frequent meetings with him and his team to keep me updated on our progress. Andrew and his team promptly returned calls and emails anytime I had a question or concern. I am so grateful for Andrew’s passion, dedication, and professionalism. He is truly the best attorney I have ever worked with.

Best knowledgable, trustworthy representation

I met Andrew in April, 2017, two days after I was in a serious auto accident. I was in the hospital, and remained in hospital and rehab for 6 weeks. He assessed my situation, and assured me that he could and wanted to represent me. As I progressed from hospital to rehab, he stayed in touch with m...e. He very promptly gave me information on which doctors to use, and how to work with the doctors and caregivers to get the best result. I was surprised to find out that my family doctor could not follow me through this rehabilitation process. It turns out that most family doctors are not equipped to handle insurance claim situations, and my injuries necessitated multiple insurance claims. Andrew has personal connections with many of the physicians and facilities that help people in my situation. In some cases, he was able to speak to my caregivers before I even met them, making my interaction with them much easier. He was so instrumental and knowledgeable about my healing, that sometimes I would call him for advice before I called the doctor or caregiver. He has always been available by phone, text, or email. His staff is equally accessible. He followed through wonderfully with presenting my case, when necessary, and I am very happy with the settlement that we got. His caring attitude, diligence, availability, and knowledge were instrumental in my healing from this terrible accident. I could not have gotten where I am, physically and financially if it weren’t for my partnership with Pickett Law and Andrew Pickett.

Well balance technical mastery and kind customer service

Our family is flat out impressed with the Andrew Pickett Law firm technical mastery, they never wavered with kind direction as our recovery prolonged during the COVID-19, and they delivered the maximum settlement possible. We loss over a month of time with no results working with a Orlando attorn...ey and trying to get service from our own auto insurance. But, less than a day after meeting with the Andrew and Vonda, they notified us about the identity of the hidden at fault driver’s insurance and unblocked the delays from our own auto insurance to repair our vehicle, scheduled the car rental, uncovered payments to replace our children’s car seats involved in the accident, and soon after, we received appointment calls from a reputable doctor who continue to treat us. If we ever had any concerns, Andrew made himself available and offered to attend doctor appointments while Vonda diligently monitored every appointment, billing, and procedure to go as plan. We are fortunate to receive the vital tip on Andrew Pickett Law and we can easily recommend Andrew Pickett Law to help you.

Grateful

If you have ever been in an auto accident, you know how completely overwhelming it is. This is on top of the pain you are most likely contending with. My auto accident happened on the way to celebrate my 40th birthday, which at the time I thought was enough to deal with on its own, boy was I in for... a treat. Thank God all parties involved were going to be ok. The car: not so much. I knew from experience neck and back pain would gradually worsen with time, but that was all I felt knowledgeable about. I work in the insurance and finance industry, but this was a completely different world. I hated feeling uneducated and that I had to watch my back dealing with (in this case three) automobile insurance companies and multiple doctor’s offices; the last thing I wanted was to add a lawyer to the mix. I felt like I wasn’t hurt badly enough, or to be honest, I looked down at people who rushed to get a lawyer and just sue whomever they could. However, after a month of trying to deal with all of these things on my own, I learned that in order to receive what was actually rightfully mine through my own insurance, I was going to succumb. Andrew came highly recommended, and meeting with him and Vonda was the best thing I could have done. In fact, I wish I had been more educated on the process and called him sooner. Instantly I felt the proverbial weight be lifted. No longer did I have to speak with the insurance adjusters or the doctor’s offices and billing departments- I could finally focus on my healing. Andrew was obviously intelligent, also considerate and kind. I felt that he was genuine (which is extremely important to me). Vonda was extremely helpful as well. They educated me on what was happening with my case, and I no longer felt in the dark and helpless. The outcome of my case was a positive one (as much as it could be for being in an automobile accident), and I was quite pleased. If you are looking for an attorney, yes you could call 1-800-lawyer, but I would strongly recommend that you consider meeting with Andrew. I appreciated the personal service and attention I received and I know you will to.

"I e-mailed an order from one of Andrew's trial wins to eight lawyers in our firm to read. Andrew, got the insurance company's accident reconstuctionist witness thrown out (precluded from testifying to the jury) for using junk science. It took a ton of extra work to do this. Some less dilligent lawyers might have been content to just cross examine the witness at trial. Not Andrew. He is an incredibly hard worker, through, detail orientated and battle tested from trying cases as a former prosecutor and personal injury lawyer. The order was brilliant and was an important step in obtaining a outstanding jury verdict (not settlement) for his client. Andrew is very well recpected by the local bar and local judges. He is personable, caring, poised, trustworthy, confident and approachable."
