Offered Valuable Insight

I'd never consulted a lawyer before, and I really had no idea where to start in getting help with my legal issues. I found this website and posted a question about my situation. Among several unhelpful and vague answers, I found Robert's response. He properly addressed my question, and explained what... additional action I could take. I private messaged him multiple times for further information and each time he responded quickly and offered very valuable insight. Now I know what actions I can take moving forward, and what the law actually says regarding my situation.

Thorough Representation

I was worried that the process would be complicated and drag on and on. After our initial meeting everything moved quickly and we were able to receive compensation for our medical bills quickly and without any hassle on our end. Robert was thorough and genuine throughout the entire process. He also c...learly communicated all of the details of the case to us whenever we had questions.

Negotiated a quick settlement

After interviewing 4 Attorneys, I hired Robert to handle my injury accident claim than was denied by All State after a year of rehab, because they claimed that it was not accident related. I followed everything All State required of me for one year, and I though I was in " Good Hands", but truthfully..., they prey on honest folks who do not know that they are playing the percentages to low ball or deny settlements altogether. Robert took my case and quickly navigated the legal requirements to sue All State, and to my surprise they settled within two weeks for $25,000, (I was offered $500, yes only $500) After that, I was elated, but Robert checked my insurance policy and determined that I was covered for underinsured motorist claims and then sued my insurance because he said the injury was worth more than $25K. Four weeks later Robert negotiated another $35,000 settlement from 21st Century. Working with Robert was a pleasure, he always communicated and responded to my questions quickly, and was professional and ethical in all of our dealings. He did exactly what he promised and his fees were reasonable and easy to understand. I highly recommend Robert Rodriguez for any personal injury accident claim. (PS: call an attorney even before you talk to an insurance company if you have been hit or injured. Remember insurance companies have huge staffs of In house lawyers looking for ways not to pay claims, and you need to be represented by an attorney who understands your rights and how to deal with these companies)

Car Crash Incident

Incident involved a car crash and bodily injuries. He was honest and upfront about his expectations of the case. He said that the accident wouldn't make us rich, but that it would cover our medical and vehicle costs. He worked diligently with the insurance companies to make sure that they paid a fair... amount for our loss. He kept us up to date with the progress of the case. He honestly seemed to care. The settlement was enough to handle all of the medical expenses, a new vehicle and a bit left over to cover some other debts. We actually recommended Robert to a friend of ours who's daughter was hit by a car. During the case, Robert was kind enough to offer my friends some money in advance to help cover costs during the holiday season. Their case was a success as well and they were taken care of. That type of kindness and commitment is rare in this line of work. I will be recommending Robert every time.
