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.

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.

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.

Appreciation to Brett

We are writing to share our gratitude to and positive experience with Brett Eckstein for his work on our behalf. Over the past four years, Brett proved to not only be knowledgeable but also adept at translating legalese into common terminology. He frequently let us know what to expect, provided his... insight into an estimated range to our settlement, and was responsive to our questions. He exercised patience and understanding throughout the process. His excellence in communication and personable demeanor made a difficult time much more manageable. Again, we cannot say enough about Brett’s work on our behalf and would highly recommend his service to others.
