Thank Hudson Law Firm!

After being involved in a terrible multiple car accident and not getting access to proper treatment, I contacted Hudson Law firm to ensure my injuries were handled properly. Joel Hudson and his staff, were professional, personable and easy to work with. Mr. Hudson did a great job to obtain a fair se...ttlement with all involved. I'm very pleased with the outcome and recommend contacting Hudson Law firm if you are in a situation where you need sincere professionals looking out for you!

Excellent law firm!

My wife was rear ended by a negligent driver and suffered severe upper neck/back trauma. We knew it was in our best interests to seek legal help to assist in dealing with their insurance company. I found Hudson Law Firm on Google and read through all of the reviews. I was initially skeptical due t...o all of the raving reviews accompanied by 5 stars but the reviews didn't appear to be fabricated. We met with Sam and they accepted our case. They set my wife up with medical care which was covered under a Letter of Protection(LOP), which promises the medical professionals that they will get paid out of the settlement. This helped tremendously considering the final costs of all of the medical my wife needed. We dealt with Sam primarily and she was always the consummate professional. She kept us informed at all times, answered any and all questions we had, and displayed a sincere concern for my wife's well being. The only issue we had was with one of the medical providers who, at times, took a long time to respond to the law firm. This, in turn, created a significant gap in treatment and more importantly caused my wife to endure pain for much longer than was needed. Our tips to those going through this process is don't allow a gap in treatment to occur and take all of the prescribed medication. Mr. Hudson spoke with us directly when it came time to negotiate the settlement. He's very knowledgeable in the process and will assist you in making an informed decision. In the end, we are very satisfied with the outcome of the settlement. We appreciate the time and effort Mr. Hudson, Sam, and the rest of the team put into our case as well as the level of professionalism, integrity, communication, and personal attention they exhibited. Give them a call and I'm certain they will treat you the same way!

Top notch service!

I was hit from behind and my car was totaled. Went to Hudson Law firm, where they quickly went to work and got me the medical exams and therapy I needed right away with no out of pocket cost to me upfront. That was very important to me as I dad of three I need everything I can for my kids. They where... easy to deal with always polite and professional. They did what I hoped would happen and more. The whole process of losing my car and getting hurt could have been a lot worse. Would not have been able to get through it without Hudson. Thanks for all your hard work on this! JB

18 Yrs old

At the age of 18, I was in a life changing car accident that was in no way my fault and the team over at Hudson Law Firm fully knew and believed that as they helped me get the compensation I was entitled to. Even though it took a while as I was going to different doctors getting the treatment they st...uck with my case and continued to do everything they could to get me as much as they could knowing I had a full life ahead of me and this accident was not just a one-time injury. I can not thank the entire team there enough as they were always looking out for me. Anthony and Sam were always there to answer the phone to answer a question even if it was a dumb one they still answered it to the fullest. As it got closer to the end Joel himself did an amazing job at keeping me in the loop on how things were going and not only that but also was great at always finding different options to get what I wanted to be done. If I am ever in another care accident my first call will always be Hudson Law Firm!
