Generous and astute
I can't express how grateful we are to Frank Darras for the attention and time he gave us when consulting on our disability case. Not only did he walk us through the process, he did so with generosity, patience, and a rare mix of shrewdness and positive attitude. Thank you Frank - you are a rare ray of sunshine in the highly contentious arena!

TEARS OF JOY!
Who could have imagined? I'm on the east coast, he's on the west coast, from the first time I spoke with him, you would have thought I knew him, though I've never met him. His staff is awesome! They were with me every step of the way, 2 years and 4 denials later from my insurance company and he never gave up and he never gave in. Trust me it was worth the wait! I highly recommend Attorney Darras!! Tears Of Joy!

Pure class and expertise
Mr. Darras represented me against my private disability insurance carrier. It had been over three years of unsuccessful efforts of my own. DarrasLaw was very clear and precise in what they needed from me in terms of records and documentation, and were amazingly efficient in preparing the final brief with the information they gathered. They worked with my doctors, and obtained clarity that was never present. I highly recommend Mr. Darras and DarrasLaw without reservations.

Can't Recommend Enough!!!
5 star After almost a dozen lawyers refusing to deal with my case (because there wasn't any money in it for them) Darras Law was a breath of fresh air. They reviewed my case and found that it was something that I could do with proper guidance, and they assisted me every step of the way free of charge. I was so desperate since no lawyer in NC would even give me the time of day. I honestly never expected to find help in California. I have never expected to see that level of compassion from a law firm, but I am eternally thankful I found them. I can't recommend them enough!! Truly great people!!!

My future is Secure!
My attorney treated me as if I was his mother. I felt like I was their only client. They went above and beyond the call of duty. I tried to fight the company on my own and I was getting no where. DarrasLaw, I am truly grateful and appreciative of all you have done for me. My future is secure because of you. What a wonderful team!

Darras Law is the best!!!
I cannot begin to thank Darras Law enough especially Shawn Dhillion for taking my case against Cigna! From the beginning, everyone in the law firm I dealt with made me feel appreciated and like they really wanted to help me. Some of the nice folks that helped me also were Terrence, Gingi, and Joann! Awesome people! They were honest about everything; telling me what to expect, making sure deadlines were met in the appeals process and eventually filing a lawsuit. I had appealed my long term disability against Cigna but was denied and then I turned to Darras Law. I would highly recommend Darras Law for long term disability cases. I could not have got the settlement I did without Darras Law. Highly professional, caring, compassionate people!

compassionate, smart, helpful and solved my tough problem with insurance company
There have been few occasions in my life when I needed an attorney. When i was injured and couldn't work, I thought my life was over. Not only did I have to adjust to having a disability, I also ended up in the fight of my life for my disability benefits. Benefits I paid for that were suddenly "CANCELLED" for an insignificant reason. I saw my life's savings flash before my eyes because I couldn't work and would deplete every penny, quickly. Then I started following DarrasNews and reading news articles about DarrasLaw. I called them and even though it was not an overnight solution, as nothing legal ever is....the entire staff, especially Catherine and Heather were so amazing to me, compassionate, timely and responsive, that I knew i was in great hands. DarrasLaw ended my nightmare and got me what I deserve from the insurance company and I am so blessed to have found them. The best decision I made was picking a law firm that specializes in disability insurance and by not going to a general practice attorney. Because DarrasLaw really knows insurance law, we solved my problem.

CLOSER
Like my title suggests in baseball the closer is the pitcher who gets the job done to win the game. Frank Darras was the lawyer who got the job done for me. He picked up the ball and ran with it after another lawyer could not finish the job. I had purchase private disability insurance. The company would not pay after I became disabled. I procured a law firm which won me a small settlement. When they would go no further with my case I found DarrasLaw. Frank won me a large settlement. If I would have known about Frank Darras the first time around I would have saved myself a lot of trouble. The entire staff is top notch. I have nothing but good to say about Frank Darras and his organization.

Frank Nicholas Darras
A few years ago after the unexpected death of our son, Frank N. Darras assisted our family in getting payment on our son's life insurance after it had been delayed and wrongfully denied. Mr. Darras was diligent, kind and treated us like his family. Our experience with Mr. Darras allowed us to get our granddaughter what was rightfully hers and as a result, is in college today using the life insurance funds that Mr. Darras helped us win. DarrasLaw is an exceptional and compassionate team of insurance lawyers.
