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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
