Exceptional Professionalism!

Bret and his team were exceptional throughout a unique and difficult case. Information was clearly and succinctly presented along with timely updates. Moments of trepidation were giving immediate assurances at all times. Paperwork flow was smooth. An overall positive experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bre...tt and his team at Culpepper Kurland

Semi vs Chevy.

Nov 11 2015 730pm a semi goes across 3 lanes of traffic and a 15ft median and pulls right in front of my chevy without stopping. He cut the lanes at an angle i never saw him. Ran right into his cab. Completly destroyed my chevy but i lived. Didnt walk away but counted my blessings. I looked on Avvo a...nd saw Mr. Kurland here and hired him the next day. 6 months of physical therapy and im still having to do daily stretches for mobility. Brett kurland fought for me. And he kept me in the loop at every turn. Always letting me know what was going on. Once it got to the negotiations he spoke to me directly and personally called me to find out how things were going. I am fully satisfied with the money he got me and my family. I strongly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer who will fight for you. He never lied nor led me to believe anything that wasnt true. If i need a lawyer in the future i know exactly who i will be going to. Thank you Brett Kurland From the Roberts family

A great experience

This is the first time I've dealt with a personal injury attorney, and they could not have made the process any smoother. The communication was outstanding, they let me know where my case was each step of the way. Any emails or phone calls I made concerning my case were always promptly answered, an...d they went above and beyond any expectations that I had. They handled everything, from the doctors, to the chiropractor, made everything very simple. I would hate to have to use a personal injury lawyer again, but if the need arises, I will definetly with out a doubt contact them again.

A Lawyer You Can Trust

Attorneys were like car salesmen to me, many would say and do things that, to me, just were not in the client's best interest. When I got hit from behind while stopped by someone driving fast and simply not paying attention, I knew my care would take more than a bandaid and would span over time. I ...knew that I needed someone that would ensure my needs would be met. I wanted someone that my doctors trusted. I wanted someone that I could trust. The firm of Culpepper/Kurland was recommended. I was immediately assigned to one of his team members. Not only were my medical needs met, my personal needs were met. When I had a question, I was immediately connected to my case manager. If she could answer it, she did; if she could not, she got with Mr Kurland and called me back. I could email at any time and would receive an immediate response. I was kept calm, cool, and collected at all times because of their level of professionalism and caring. When my medical needs exceeded the limits of the insured, he and his staff immediately went to bat for me and had it resolved before I had time to worry. I simply cannot think of one thing that Mr Kurland and his staff could have done to make my unfortunate situation easier on me. I knew I had a friend in Mr Kurland. That smile is genuine, not like many you see. I trusted him with my well-being and, therefore, that of my family. He did not disappoint me. Thank you Mr Kurland!

Bogan/Horner-10.23.08

I like so many people thought the "at fault driver's insurance" would be responsible for all the bills. I now know they only pay for all the repairs to the vehical and provide rental car, if you are injured you have to go through your insurance and they only pay 80% of all bills up to $10,000. The... victim is responsible for the other 20% and we have to go after the "at fault driver's insurance", our insurance company does not represent us unless we are the "at fault driver". That is when I knew I needed a lawyer, one of the women I work with recommened Culpepper/Kurland and I made the call. From the moment I contacted the law firm I was given immediate attention and someone came to my office to make it easier for me give nformation to my case and sign up for them to represent me. They immediately sent out "letter's of intention" to all the doctor's offices and MRI facilities so they knew they would get paid so I did not have to worry about the bills coming in. I was also very pleased on how professionally all the staff was when I made calls or sent emails. I always got a pleasant receptionist and advised quickly if my case Manager Angie would be available or would need to call back. If she was handling another call she resonponded back promptly and always made me feel the Mr. Kurland and the staff were working on getting this handled. I had no intention of getting a lawyer, always felt I could work things out and be compensated fairly, I was injured the end of October and did not seek an attorney until the end of February. After all I've been through, it was a relief to know I was not handling this all by my self, Iwould have no hesitation recommending this law firm. My deepest gratitude to all their staff, but especially to Angie McDuffie and Mr. Kurland, I never deamt it would be handled so quickly and exceeded my expectations. Sincerly, Linda B.

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.
