More than a 5 Star Attorney!

If you’re reading this, it may be because you or a loved one needs an attorney and I’d like to share a little of my own experience. After sustaining injuries in a fall, it didn’t take long to realize that navigating an injury claim process on my own wouldn’t be an easy task and I needed an expert to ...help guide me. My first appointment was meeting with Brett Eckstein at Cannon & Dunphy, and it became the only appointment I would need. Within minutes it was clear that I found the right person in Brett, at the right law firm of Cannon & Dunphy. From the moment we first met until the close of my case I felt a sense of comfort knowing I was represented by a truly outstanding attorney. But most importantly, Brett is one of the finest human-beings I have ever met. He never treated me like “just another client” and I always felt like I had a loyal friend guiding me through the process. His attentiveness, kindness and compassion went beyond all my expectations! In the end, it was his expertise and persistence negotiating cases like mine that brought it to a fair, equitable conclusion. Choosing Brett to represent me was hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made! I am beyond grateful for him and his paralegal Athena for all their efforts on my behalf.

Easy to work with

I hired Brett, as my layer after I had been in a car accident, I never previously had to hire a lawyer, and my first thought was what a headache this would be. After talking with Brett, I was blown away how easy he had made everything, he was very thorough, focused, kind, I felt he really cared about... my well being. My personal experience was quick and painless. I would definitely recommend Brett.

Awesome Lawyer!

Brett did an awesome job! He represented me in 2 different lawsuits. He truly cares about his clients as people, not just another case. It was a long, stressful process and I was ready to give in, but Brett took the time to ease my anxiety and fought to get me a much better settlement. He always kept... me updated and returned calls and emails in a timely manner. He was so easy to work with. He took the time to explain each step of the process in an easy to understand way. I wouldn't think twice about hiring him again myself or referring him to family and friends. Thank you so much Brett!

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.
