Hit and Run

As a retired veteran with preexisting injuries, I was concerned about my car accident case (hit and run) as I had sustained significant new injuries until I talked to Mr. Salter who assured me he had experience working similar cases, with military clients, and navigating and differentiating preexisti...ng and new injuries. Mr. Salter is extremely professional, compassionate, and direct; he expertly humanizes legal subject matter, and has an advanced level of understanding legalities of insurance company’s processes and how they work. I was highly impressed with his staff, specifically (LeeAnn Backer), who took absolute life-cycle ownership of my case providing phenomenal customer service and compassion, communication, coordination with one of the best Orthopedic Surgeon's in the area, and follow up. Throughout the litigation of my case, Mr. Salter provided invaluable face-to-face deposition coaching and LeeAnn explained things crystal clear until I got them. Thank you S.H.R. Law Firm. Mr. Salter and LeeAnn exceeded my expectations! My case was reconciled flawlessly and expeditiously and I received my max settlement. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone looking for a highly effective trial attorney!

Car accident settlement

My first contact over the phone was surprising. He listened to what were my medical problems and future treatment and outlook. Both Mr Salter and his staff are knowledgeable in the law profession but they are caring and empathetic. He helped me to get a second opinion from one of the best Orthopedi...c Surgeon's in the area; Dr Thomas Tolli. When my prior Dr had said I was not a surgery candidate and would have to do long term pain management. That second opinion changed my life. If ever my family or friends need a great attorney, I am referring them to Brad Salter! He and his staff are just honesty Caro,g people that want to help you through a difficult and confusing time. Oh, and the settlement I received was more than I thought possible! He was even able to work down medical bills!

NO!! RUN! SALTER aka SLAUGHTER!!! DON'T LOOK BACK & WISH YOU READ THIS!!

I have so many negitive things to say about Brad's unprofessionalism, however I refuse to spend more than a couple of minutes thinking about him. CHARISMA DOES NOT EQUAL COMPENTENCY!! You will think he's kind and ontop of your case - until it's too late!!! I was told all of the records requested ...by opposing council would be reviewed by Brad's office - this was to assure the personal and intimate details of my whole life that are unrelated to the case, would not be made public. 1st: at my depo, opposing council HAD PRIVATE CLIENT / ATTORNEY EMAILS THAT 'SLIPPED THROUGH'. If that wasn't bad enough he hadn't reviewed any of the information!! He was lost and confused!! 2nd: After he slaughtered my case and I fired him he place a lien with no dollar amount to satisfy it. Opposing Council and I had countered back & forth pro se' - we have now come to an acceptable settlement, HOWEVER BRAD HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEGE EITHER ONE OF OUR REQUESTS FOR A LIEN SATISFACTION!! THIS MEANS I CANNOT SETTLE MY CASE BEFORE HIRING A LAWYER TO GO AFTER BRAD!! FILE COMPLAINTS WITH THE BAR & GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW FAR HE'LL DRAG THIS OUT?? I NEVER wanted to file a complaint nor post anything negative - he made me feel like ALL THAT WAS BAD WAS MY FAULT!! I only wanted to move forward and humbly accept it takes two - I'm certain I was not the gold standard client. I am not an attorney and law can be confusing and seem unfair...I am only human!! With an INCREDIBLE new attorney HGH3, St. Pete, Brad's post-firing conduct, his disqusting ignorance etc..etc... I feel it's my obligation to warn people! I'm happy his actions since have been vindicated, which helps! With soon many options, don't take the chance!!

Best Representative Ever!

Brad Salter is the epitome of what you want in an attorney. He represented me in a personal injury case where I had sustained significant injuries and I had to sue my own insurance company. Brad and his assistant Daniella were with me every step of the journey; they explained things until I got th...em and were extremely patient. Brad understands how insurance companies work. We had to go to trial by jury and I cannot even describe the passion he showed in cross examining the witnesses. The outcome was more than successful and I would recommend Brad to anyone who has been injured. If he is on your side you have no worries!
