MY HEARTFELT APPRECIATION TO TODD STERN, A BRILLIANT LAWYER

Where do I begin? My case was complicated. I had two accidents 27 days apart. In the first accident, I was rear-ended at a red light. The car had virtually no property damage to the eye, but I was injured badly. The second accident was a head-on collision, causing new injuries, and the injuries from ...the first accident worsened. Both drivers had little or no insurance, and I had to fall back on my own uninsured motorist coverage. You would think since you’re dealing with your own insurance company, that you would be treated well, especially since you have been with them since 1994. Unfortunately, that is not the case. I was hurt, and my own insurance company offered me virtually nothing. That’s where Todd Stern comes in. He thoroughly analyzed my case, legally and medically. He filed suit. He made sure all my medical issues were being addressed. He spoke with my doctors, got me the surgeries I needed by very qualified physicians, and helped me put my life back together again. He was very professional and attentive. I didn’t want to go into litigation, but he made me entirely comfortable and met with me for hours, and I was fully prepared. You could tell during my deposition that the opposing attorney had a lot of respect for him. When everything was said and done, my insurance company, who wanted to pay me virtually nothing, paid every cent available under each of my uninsured motorist policies from each accident!! The skills and passion Todd Stern displayed to make my complex case work was beyond compare. If you need a lawyer go see him.

Tenacious Warrior - Stop Searching. Todd Stern should be your lawyer

I have never experienced anyone with Todd Stern's professionalism, talent, and will to win before. I was involved in a bad motorcycle wreck. There were three individuals in the other car and no other witnesses. They all said it was my fault. Todd Stern went to work, and was able to prove scientifical...ly, by evidence, investigation, and by hard questioning of the defense, that the crash was their fault and I was blameless. The insurance company initially made no offer to settle, but by the time Todd Stern was through with them, they paid, and paid big. Todd simply out thought, out worked, and out maneuvered the other side. He is an extremely talented lawyer. And he was completely professional in all involved in the process along the way. By the end of the case, you could tell the defense had a lot of respect for his talent. I was fully informed always, and felt very much a part of my case. He is a Tenacious Warrior and anyone should fell lucky, as I do, that he took my case. If you need a personal injury lawyer, hire him. There is no better!

THE BULLDOG

Todd was the ABSOLUTE BEST.......I called him my Bulldog, first off he and his staff actually return your phone calls, keep you informed of progress of case and really DO CARE. I have never seen someone who went "ALL IN" for anyone the way that Todd did for me, he dug and dug until every stone was tu...rned and then some. He even set Florida Case Law in my case, his staff is so AWSOME!!!! They answered my calls and trust me that was ALOT and they said call back anytime you want......Todd not only WON my case but got me everything that there was to get from them, I very highly recommend TODD STERN for you and anyone that wants the BEST. I'm SO glad he was on my side and not against me.

Great personal injury attorney

After my auto accident with an errant taxi, I was referred to Todd Stern by the Fran Haash Law Group. They told me this was because Mr. Stern is the best litigation attorney they know of, and they were right. The insurance company was based out of NY, and had been dragging their heels paying for auto... repairs and medical bills. But once Todd took over my case, things started happening very quickly. He filed summons, petitions, demands, objections… very timely and very aggressively representing my case. Every step of the way, Mr. Stern was on the phone with me keeping me informed of what was happening and what I could expect. He is confident, experienced, consistent and persistent. In the depositions, he kept the defense attorneys on their heels. During mediation, he stood his ground until the defense gave in and settled for a substantial amount. His assistants Lisa and Judy were both wonderful to work with. Lisa coordinated between my different physicians and hospitals, negotiated their astronomical bills down to the bare minimum expense, and was always available to take my calls to provide me with real time updates as things occurred. Judy was in constant communication with me, as well, emailing documents that needed signatures and explaining what everything meant in layman’s terms. I had the pleasure of meeting both ladies and thanking them in person. I am very pleased with the outcome of my personal injury case. Everything was handled efficiently, accurately, and with open communication. I can’t overstate the level of professionalism and determination demonstrated in the representation provided by Todd Stern and his team.

A Lion of an Attorney

In March 2014, a minivan struck my husband’s car from behind. The impact forced my husband’s car into the vehicle in front of him. Fortunately, everyone survived the triple crash, but my husband required multiple surgeries to his back. He has lost the ability to do many of the things he once loved.... Fran Haash Law Group referred us to Mr. Stern. He proved himself to be an outstanding advisor and advocate. He is a superb communicator. He explained every development, provided frequent updates, and swiftly responded to all our questions and concerns. Candid and honest, he does not sugar coat anything. He utilized his skill and legal expertise to turn each step of the legal process to our advantage. Just as a lion's roar is one of the most terrifying sounds in the animal kingdom, Mr. Stern’s calm, commanding voice struck fear in the mediation room. The opposition’s decision to settle our case was a wise one, as I have no doubt that Mr. Stern would have triumphed in court. Mr. Stern’s excellent judgement is also demonstrated by his choice of exceptional staff. His assistant, Ms. Leavens, is compassionate, supportive, and provided amazing customer care. We couldn’t be more pleased with the management and outcome of our case.
