Wonderful to work with

I was in an accident in 2017 and I hired Brett and his firm to help me out. I don't know what I would have done without him. After being in a car accident, I didn't know what to do, my car was totaled, I had medical bills that needed to be reimbursed. He helped me negotiate everything with my car ins...urance and medical bills. He made sure I wasn't taken advantage of by my insurance company or the insurance of the person that hit me. He communicated everything so that I understood the process. He fought for me to get a settlement due to the injuries I sustained. I would recommend Brett to anyone that has been in an accident.

An unfortunate start to the New Year

Brett Eckstein work diligently with me and my case to ensure that I was able to get the best possible settlement after I was in a drunk driving accident on New Year's Day. I pray I never need him again but, if I am ever in an accident in the future Brett and Cannon & Dunphy will be my first call!

Highly recommend

Mr. Eckstein always did an excellent job explaining things thoroughly. When I contacted him about my case he went through things step by step. When I contacted him about any questions he always got back to me in a timely manner. He is very knowledgeable and I would/will recommend him to anyone I kno...w. I’m very thankful I had such a knowledgeable lawyer through this journey!

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.

Brett Eckstein - Grade A Lawyer, one of Midwest Best

To simply put it, Brett Eckstein is a wonderful attorney. He works one on one, hands on with his clients to make sure each individual clients needs are met and that they are satisfied with both their legal representation and their experience working with him. Brett is timely with his communication a...nd responses, and always does his due diligence in getting and providing answers to any questions or concerns his clients may have, while also being open to any suggestions his clients have. He puts in the effort to make sure his clients get the best results/settlements in each of the cases he represents. He takes the time to get to know each of his individual clients both personally and professionally. When starting your relationship with Brett it seems as though he is just your lawyer, but towards the end of your relationship and experience with working with him, he will become not only part of your trusted network and a trusted confidant, but also part of your family. I am very pleased with my experience, and would like to express gratitude in having the pleasure of working with him. I will be recommending him to anyone in need of legal representation and advice.
