Brett Eckstein review

Brett Eckstein is the lawyer who handled the case for my brother Paul. Paul was involved in an accident where he was on a bicycle and was hit by an automobile. As his sister, we tried to work with the insurance company and got nowhere. We made one call to Cannon/ Dunphy and within a few days Brett ...met with us and took on the case. Brett knew exactly how to handle the insurance company from day one. He kept us informed with each step he took to make sure Paul got a very fair settlement. We would recommend Brett to anyone who ever has a personal injury claim and needs help to resolve their case!

Brett Eckstein - A Cut Above the Rest

Brett Eckstein was highly professional as he represented me for an injury I sustained in an automobile accident and his dedication allowed me to receive the highest possible settlement without going to trial. I was treated like a person seeking legal assistance from Brett, not simply a case file. The... personal attention he provided to my claim was impressive. He was always available for taking my calls or answering emails and each time we communicated he was well versed on my situation. He was able to reference details we previously spoke about and provided solid legal guidance as we strategized to bring closure to my case. Looking back, taking on the insurance company on my own would have been overwhelming. Retaining Cannon & Dunphy, was the best decision I could have made. I did not have to deal with the insurance company or any other attorneys, Brett did all the work. I could not happier with the results.

Exceptional Performance

Mr. Eckstein is associated with the firm of Cannon & Dunphy. This was the second firm I retained to address an injury that resulted from an at-fault driver of a local school bus contractor. The initial legal representative was a great disappointment. Communication was almost non-existent, they con...stantly required additional information, the para-legal appeared hostile at times, I never spoke with a licensed attorney, and the case dragged on. Mr. Eckstein and his assistant, Ms. Thomas, were the exact opposite. They communicated openly, called with frequent updates, took complete charge of my case, and negotiated an equitable settlement. I never had to question what was happening with my case, and it was resolved quickly. I cannot compliment my legal team enough. I would recommend this legal firm, and this attorney specifically to handle any personal-injury litigation.

Impressed!

Attorney Brett Eckstein of Cannon and Dunphy represented me after I sustained serious injuries following a fall at our rented home. I contacted the landlord; he in turn contacted his insurance company. Within a few days, the insurance company contacted me. They said they would probably pay the medic...al bills, but did not think they could do anything else. This left me feeling frustrated. Upon recommendation, I contacted Brett Eckstein for help. Mr. Eckstein made me feel at ease about the whole situation and provided a clear explanation of the important issues in the case. I felt I had definitely made the right choice. Thanks to Brett, I received all the legal help I needed when I had nowhere else to turn. Brett’s experience and expertise far exceeded my expectations. He always kept in contact throughout the case. And he was able to bring my case to a satisfying conclusion. Thank you seems inadequate to express my gratitude. I had the best experience from start to finish.

Gold Standard

From the initial consultation through the mediation closure, Brett was personable, informative and thoroughly reliable. He is a personal injury attorney who was willing to go the extra mile and who put me at ease throughout the attorney-client process. Brett is a combination of compassion and honesty....
