Extra Stars

I was in a severe motor vehicle accident. Initially I was working with a family attorney to recover damages, and due to conflicting views I needed to find new representation. Than I found Tony! I felt we were more on the same page about how I wanted my case to continue. I had been through a lot physi...cally with multiple broken bones and life lasting damages. I didn't want to settle for just a low offer because my damages were substantial but I also wanted a resolution so I could move forward with my life. When I met Tony I told him this and he genuinely seemed to care and understood my position of how I had been through a lot and just wanted a fair deal so I could move forward with my life. Within days/weeks of signing up with Tony Olson I was getting the communication and updates I wanted. I felt that my case was being push to the top of the defense teams pile. After a few months went by I'm glad to say both sides were able to come to an agreement. It was more than fair and even more than I could have asked for! If your looking for an attorney I would highly recommend Tony Olson. Personally I just felt better that somebody listened to my input! Thanks Tony!

A perfect experience.

I experienced an injury at work, and I was getting the run-around when I tried to get help. I wasn't asking for money or trying to get revenge against my workplace; all I wanted was the medical help I deserved so that I could continue to work. Anthony was pleasant, professional, and courteous, and ...worked quickly to make sure that I got the help that I needed. He was informative about the legal processes involved, and was straight-forward with me about all potential outcomes (good and bad) for my specific case. He was supportive and confident, and made me feel comfortable that I was in good hands. Within a short amount of time I had the care that I needed, and on top of that, Anthony made sure that I was covering myself as much as possible for any potential worsening of my injury in the future. If I had to go back and go through this process all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I will definitely be contacting Anthony in the future for any potential needs. Thanks again, Anthony!
