Automobile Accident Case
Rob was the best lawyer I could have asked for. I was in an awful motorcycle accident and Rob was able to work with me and the insurance to make sure I got everything I deserved. I would recommend Curran Law Firm for anything, from giving great advice to giving explanations on what he's doing for you, so you aren't guessing as to what's going on. If I could give a higher rating than 5 I would. Thank you again, Rob.

Amazing lawyer
I contacted Mr. Curran regarding filing a name of charge order, which I needed guidance on due to not being a US citizen and being unable to change my name in my passport and immigration documents. Mr. Currant got back to me very promptly, explained what the process would be like and how much the court fees would be, as well as the possible complications a name change under my circumstances could cause. Everything moved faster than I expected, I felt like I knew exactly what I was walking into when we got to the court thanks to Mr. Curran, and the same applied to paperwork following the name change order being approved. Aside from his assistant with the law related practicalities, Mr. Curran also helped me tie my tie before going into court, which I think shows how caring he is.

Amazing, honest super lawyer
Mr. Curran recently assisted myself ad others win a large class action lawsuit. He and his team helped me and the other class representative take away a very fair and just win. You could really tell from how he dealt with us that he cared about justice, and what was best for the class as a whole and not just his pockets. All he needs is a cape, because he is definitely a super lawyer and I am very grateful for it.

I have used Rob Curran on two separate injury cases. The first time in 2009, shortly after moving here to Missouri, from Washington state. Secondly my injury in Sept. of 2015. Rob genuinely cares about his clients wellbeing, as a whole. He will work hard and efficiently to settle your claim in what is in your best interest. I also referred a coworker to him and she did hire him for case in 2013.

Highly Professional Attorney in Springfield, Missouri
Robert D. Curran was recommended to us after I was involved in a rear end collision. I was the party that was struck by another person as I stopped to make a left hand turn at an intersection. My husband and I both found Mr. Curran to be very professional and we felt that he was very competent and made us both feel comfortable with him and all his staff, on all our visits and communications. He was able to put us at ease, explained all the options available to us and guided through the process in such a manner as to relieve the stress that comes with this type of situation. Our case was settled to our satisfaction We will recommend Mr. Curran to our family and friends and if other circumstances should arise in the future, when we need a legal professional, we will be contacting his office

Someone who really cares
Rob was fantastic. He always took time to explain things to me, and kept my best interest at heart. I would recommend him to anyone! He really cares about his clients!
Posted by Tom | September 1, 2014
Thank you Rob Curran!
My first experience with attorney Rob Curran was in 2010 after I was seriously injured in an MVA. After the first call to the insurance adjuster, it became apparent that we needed help. I was aquainted with Rob through my business and he offered to help. Rob worked diligently on my case making sure that we would have funds for my future medical needs related to the accident. He was kind, attentive and very professional. My settlement was much more satisfactory than the one that was suggested in that first call to the adjuster! Thank you, Rob, for everything you have done. I highly recommend Rob Curran.

GREAT EXPERIENCED LAWYER!!!!!!
IF YOU NEED A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER, ROB & HIS TEAM ARE THE BEST... I used Curran Law firm for my work comp injury, and I`m glad I did. I went in and Talked to Rob, told him my concerns, asked some questions, gave facts of the case etc. He answered all my questions, put my mind at ease, and was able to tell me about how long it would take for my case to be settled... Whenever I would call the office the ladies were always very friendly, able to give me up to the minute updates, and if they could not answer a question had Rob call me within 24 hours, and once while he was even on vacation (I was super impressed with that) Rob and his team were able to work through a very confusing case that I never could have taken on alone, and I`m very grateful for the amount of time and work they put on my case, and best of all he got me a much better settlement than I ever expected. Thanks Curran Law Firm

Job well done!
I was hesitant to work with an attorney, but when the insurance company gave me no choice we found Curran Law Firm. They exceeded my expectations for service while working on my case! This case was sensitive for personal reasons, and they were great at taking that into account! They listened to my concerns and answered my questions, putting me at ease in a difficult situation. They gave me detailed and non-biased options so that we proceeded in the case in the best way for my family and me. I couldn't have asked for more! Thanks to everyone at Curran Law Firm! Your hard work was much appreciated!!

"The choice of a Personal injury attorney should be an even more thoughtful process than the selection of other types of attorneys. Usually technical and legal competence is all that is needed. In Personal Injury law, however, a story must be told, and a jury must be made to believe. This requires an attorney with skills beyond legal competency. Robert Curran has these skills. He brings compassion, insight and a world of experience to his cases and his clients. I heartily endorse him."
