Debra Fink Bogaards

I was a cyclist hit in a bicycle vs. auto accident with disputed liability (50/50) over who ran the red light in an intersection in San Francisco. I was referred to Debra by a close friend and attorney. Debra thoroughly prepared me for what lay ahead. Her compassionate and straightforward commu...nication style made me comfortable with a process that was completely unknown to me. Before even sending the settlement demand letter, Debra did a huge amount of work on my behalf. She collected all of my medical records, bills, and other documentation. She engaged the services of an awesome biomechanical engineer to help reconstruct the accident. At a time when I only wanted to focus on healing, Debra helped me to understand that the accident, injuries and surgical implants in my broken tibia were only part of my suffering. She wisely advised me to visit an orthopedic surgeon, who could explain potential future mobility issues I may have. The detailed report and advice I received helped me to make the important decision to have the hardware removed that was so uncomfortable in my leg. Debra's support was empowering. Debra prepped me for my deposition so I felt as comfortable as one can in that process. She made it easy for me. She also prepped me for mediation, since it can be an overwhelming experience. Debrah was so patient, and answered all of my questions quickly and candidly. In the end, we settled for the mediator’s number, which was 50% higher than my bottom line. I couldn't have imagined a better result. Debra is the best of the best!

Debra helped me to settle a personal injury (defend) case in just few hours! It was very efficient and successful! We really appreciate her caring about our case (I tried a few other attorneys who just made me hopeless). Her thorough and detailed explanation of the case, very efficient movement and ...always smile on her face, is very impressive and comforting during the stressful times. I highly recommend Debra.

Debra guided us through a sticky wicket of obfuscation and confusion thrown out by the hotel where my husband slipped and broke his femur in four places. She was able to clearly demonstrate that the hotel was at fault in this case, and we reached a nice settlement through mediation. We were extremely... pleased by her professional abilities and personal attention, and we recommend Debra Bogaards without hesitation!
