Settled out of court

I was a pedestrian hit by a driver who admitted he didn’t look behind prior to backing up. His insurance company blamed me because if I wasn’t behind the car, I wouldn’t have been hit. Amy navigated this stupidity and brought my case to settlement. She and her paralegal Carol Porter kept me info...rmed throughout and were easily accessible when I had questions. Amy Vela and her company will do right by you.

Amy Vela and Danger Milanes

Amy helped us in a drunk driver situation. She was caring and precise and knew exactly how to handle all our problems. It totaled my husbands car and he had to buy new one. Then on top of it he was in such pain from accident. After months of covid and dr. appointments, she resolved this quickly a...nd expertly. Danger and Amy made a good team; one of them was always there to answer questions. I rate her a 5 star plus...

Thank you Amy and Danger!

I worked with Amy Vela and her assistant Danger Milanes after a car accident in mid 2020. Both Amy and Danger were extremely knowledgeable and responsive (within 24 hours) to any questions I had. I appreciated that Amy provided me with different options for my case and allowed me to decide which rout...e I wanted to take. They worked around my schedule for phone appointments and handled everything on our behalf.The only thing we needed to focus on was healing. In the end, the settlement for both my son and I was more than I expected. I hope that I am never in a situation to need their services again, but if so, I would utilize their services or recommend any friends or family in need. Thank you Amy & Danger!

The best of the best

I am totally impressed with the work Amy and Danger did for me. I feel so honored that I had them on my side. I was at a park and was attacked by a dog that was running loose. I went back and forth about hiring an attorney, yet from my initial phone call to just consult with them, to the mome...nt I received a settlement — I was treated with so much dignity and respect. I don’t know how to thank Danger and Amy enough for being there for me. All I can say is if you are considering hiring a lawyer, Amy and her assistant Danger are the way to go.
