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!

President

I feel very fortunate that Darras Law represented me in my disability claim. Everyone I worked with there was very professional, accessible and a pleasure to work with. That’s especially true of founder Frank Darras.

Dependable

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Frank Darras and his Law Firm for helping me with my disability case. I was truly blessed to have been able to attain them as my representative, they were very knowledgeable and always kept me informed during the process of my case. I highly recommend t...hem to everyone who is in need of an attorney who will fight for your rights. Thank You Very Much.

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 "CA...NCELLED" 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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
