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.

client

Mr. Eckstein represented me after an injurious auto accident. His attention was focused on my well being and obtaining a settlement that was proportionate to my injuries. He was very professional. He let me know exactly what would happen and when. He kept me informed thru out the whole process an...d exceeded my expectations.

Highly Recommend

Mr. Eckstein was very professional and explained everything very clearly. He made me feel at ease and he wouldn't settle for less than what I was owed. I was very satisfied with the out come of my case.

Brett Eckstein Review

Brett was comprehensive in following through the aftermath of a dooring incident which rendered a severe concussion, fractured elbow, and traumatic stress anxiety. The case extended over more than two years and during that time additional treatments were necessary. After a first meeting and exchange ...of files, we connected via email due to my busy schedule until the final meeting closing the case. Brett is extremely professional; everything was clearly stated and succinct. I thoroughly appreciated his handling of legal aspects of this case and recommend him highly.

Thorough, organized, responsive

We were very pleased with Brett Eckstein's work. Without Brett, we would not have been able to settle our case for the amount we received. He is organized, thorough and responsive. Whenever we would email or call Brett, we would get a reply within a few hours or less. He seldom kept us waiting for an...swers. He knew the details of our case front to back -- that's what impressed us the most. He is frank and doesn't only tell the client what the client wants to hear. He helped us see the reality of our case, explained our legitimate chances at trial and spelled out very specifically the dollar amounts we were looking at. Once we got to know Brett better, we felt very comfortable with him and truly felt he was looking out for our best interests. There were only a couple "negatives" in our experience. It takes a little time to warm up to Brett. On first meeting him, he can appear almost too professional, that is, not as warm and friendly as he actually is. Once you get to know him though, the walls break down and you feel like he's your next-door neighbor. The other "negative" was that we did not learn the maximum potential value of our case (based on our insurance coverage and that of the defendant) until fairly late in the process. It would have been helpful to know that amount from the get-go. I'm not sure if Brett thought we already knew, thought he had already told us, or if it just slipped his mind. Overall, we were happy with our experience and we would recommend Brett enthusiastically to other potential clients.
