Personal Injury Claim

In July 2018 my husband and I were broadsided by an agricultural truck. In September 2019 my husband passed away. There was still an open insurance claim on my husband and I wanted to make sure the appropriate parties were reimbursed. The insurance adjuster was an "insurance adjuster" and I just ...was not up for dealing with her. I spoke to my brother, also an attorney, and he recommended Cannon & Dunphy. Brett Eckstein managed to get the outstanding claim settled, reimbursed the appropriate parties and managed to get additional monies in the settlement in record time. I can't thank Brett enough! I would not hesitate to call Brett Eckstein and Cannon & Dunphy should I ever require legal services again. Super guy! 5Stars

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.

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!

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.

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.
