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.

Brett Eckstein Review

I consulted and hired Brett Eckstein after I was injured in a car accident in 2015. Working with Brett was a positive encounter from the start - he came to my house for the consultation and took the time to walk me through what I should expect and how he planned to handle my case. Over the next two y...ears, he continued to be supportive and inform me of the status of my case. The outcome of my case was positive, and he went above and beyond to ensure my settlement was compensated appropriately. Even after my case was settled, Brett told me I could always contact him and he will be sure to help in any way he could. I would highly recommend Brett to anyone seeking a personal injury lawyer.

Excellent Attorney and a Great Law Firm

I am very grateful to Cannon and Dunphy, and particularly to Brett Eckstein for help in a personal injury case. Through the expertise of the firm and this attorney, we were able to reach a successful resolution including a reasonable settlement. While I will never be untouched by this incident, the p...rocess helped me find justice and closure. The resolution is very meaningful to me. Throughout the process, Mr. Eckstein demonstrated compassion and expertise that have helped me immensely.

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.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
