We are indebted to Claudia Horan for all the work she put into ensuring our accident case was properly settled. She worked with Medicare, the hospitals, and the numerous Doctors to ensure they were paid fairly -- and more importantly -- we did not pay for more than we should have for services. Additionally, Claudia worked with our insurance, and the other party's insurance company, to secure the proper settlement amount from BOTH insurance providers.
This experience has taught us that it is imperative to have great representation when negotiating with medical providers and insurance companies. My wife, and I were both financial professionals during our working lives. However, our business experiences were never going to provide us with the knowledge base necessary to settle our claim equitably. It required a professional who can level the playing field and wisely negotiate on our behalf. Claudia's knowledge of Medicare, hospital billing, Doctor billing, and the rules which apply to insurance companies was the game changer.
Claudia, Thank you for being there, and keeping us well informed, throughout this whole process. With your help, we have avoided the financial trap which could have impacted our ability to live normally during our retirement. Our bills are paid, our savings remain intact, and we can put the effects of the accident behind us.
Claudia was able to help me with a case and was very professional and had great communication skills. She really was impressive during the hearing and would work with her again. I highly recommend Claudia Horan

Exceeded all expectations
I went to claudia for an accident case after being given the run around by the other drivers insurance after being hit in an accident. She was very professional, calming and always quickly responsive. Claudia always kept me updated on the status of my case and thoroughly explained my rights and options in terms I could understand. She was extremely delightful to work with and kept me at ease during a very stressful and complicated situation I was put in. I highly recommend her. Great attorney!

All about us!
So let me just say that Claudia is amazing! When this whole thing happened my family was devastated. We ended up maxing our credit lines out and spending our savings just to survive. And despite one thing after another happening to both my family and Claudia( sickness, losing people, money problems, etc etc) She was right there through it all. Easy to talk to and patient with my demanding nature. Oftentimes explaining things to me more then once in the same conversation...lol. Needless to say once covid-19 happened and having everything shutdown I thought there was no hope that we would wrap up our case in time for me and my family to not go bankrupt. But despite having her office and movement severely restricted she managed to not only wrap it up quickly but we got more then expected. I would definitely recommend her for any injury claim! From Me, Becky and the boys....Thank you very much!!!!

Claudia was just the best at helping me recover damages from a MVA when my Prius was totaled. Claudia exhibited a high degree of professionalism - kept me informed of the legal steps through out the settlement process. Very good at hand- holding, too.

The BEST there is!
Claudia represented me on a multi-year journey defending and also pursuing personal injury. There could not be anyone better out there that could have represented me. She always kept me up to date, gave me options, walked me through everything that was happening and even anticipating my needs. If you or someone you know needs to be defended or help with injury, do not consider anyone else besides Claudia. I really could not be happier with how she is as a professional and person in general. If there was more stars I would gladly give!

Professional, Responsive, and an Absolute Shark in the Courtroom
Claudia is an outright asset to any/all of us that are not experts in the field of law. Counseling comes natural to her as she is a must have liaison between yourself and the legal system. There are so many nuances and hierarchies when it comes to applicable law that it sometimes seems like a different language. This is where Claudia truly differentiates herself as she takes the time to educate you on all the applicable dimensions so that you can make an informed decision. Her dedication to preparation is obvious and it showed in every conversation I have had with her. Whenever Claudia and I discussed my case in preparation, she was very kind and friendly however as soon as we entered the courtroom it was like a switch flipped. Do not let her stature fool you. Once the proceedings begin, she is in her element and can compete with the best. A true expert in her craft and somebody that you want on your side. I am well pleased by the level of service, outcome, and quality of representation Claudia has provided me. I would recommend her to anyone that needs legal services!

Awesome laywer
Claudia Horan is the best lawyer that anyone can ask for, she listens to her clients. She has their best interest at heart. She is a great listener, and will give 110% when working on your case. It is unheard of these days to actually speak to your attorney, they are always busy or won't call you back. Claudia is an exception to that rule. For instance, If I needed to talk with her she would always respond to me by email or call me no later than next day. Claudia believes in communication with her clients and you'll be constantly in the loop of your case. She goes the extra mile, and I would use Claudia again if I ever have a need for an attorney.
