The best!!

We are all a bit apprehensive when hiring any professional in a field that we know nothing about. I know relatively nothing about law as it pertains to auto accidents. Thankfully, Brad Souders knows everything about his profession. I knew from our first meeting that we were on the same page. Beside...s being a tremendous attorney, Brad is a genuinely wonderful and compassionate human being. He is a brilliant man and takes all his clients' concerns to heart in a very personal way. I have had the misfortune of hiring a couple of, in my opinion, lazy and uncaring attorneys in the past (not necessarily accident related); in it just for the most money with the least effort. Brad's approach was a breath of fresh air. He is sincere, straightforward, frugal with your money and deeply cares about the welfare of his clients. He is always accessible via phone or email. If he is in a meeting and you leave a message, he will always reply promptly. No question is too trivial and Brad will take as much time answering your question as necessary; he is extremely patient and articulate. On the business side, Brad gave me excellent guidance throughout the entire process including following up with all my medical providers and interacting with the insurance companies. In the end, he negotiated settlement(s) for me that were far beyond my expectations. So, in addition to giving me peace of mind from day one Brad has secured a settlement that will allow me and my wife to move forward with our lives despite the financial setbacks we experienced as a result of my accident. I have now, and have always had 100% confidence in Brad's judgement and counsel. I would trust him with my life. If you need an attorney who is the most professional, most caring and give you the best chance at a just recovery, I strongly recommend Brad Souders. You will not be disappointed.

Dear Hal - Thanks for posting your review. It was our privilege to represent you in both accidents, the motorcycle accident and the car accident, both accidents certainly no fault of your own. Likewise, I am glad we obtained the best results possible, having the best Closing Statements, with lesser fees, the smallest costs possible, reduced medical bills or liens, to closing both matters with the best results possible, without delays. You deserve a lot of credit for this as we had great communication every step of the way. You also followed professional recommendations to obtain professional results; and, as mentioned previously, you might have even spoiled us. It has certainly been nice to stay in touch afterwards! Thanks again and please give my best wishes to Debi also. Sincerely, Brad

Exceeded and passed my expectations!

A year ago I was hit by a car while on my motorcycle by negligent red light runner. I was left with injuries and my motorcycle was totaled. Mr. Souders caring and sincere attitude helped ease my stress through the whole ongoing process. He always made sure that I was fully aware of and understood eve...ry step until the end when we closed. He told me himself, "My job is to take you from point A to point B as smoothly as possible." And he not only did that, but instead went past and beyond my expectations. I would absolutely recommend the services of Mr. Souders to anyone in need.

  • 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.
