Awesome Results.

My need for a good attorney began when a driver of a motor vehicle apparently thought it was a good idea for her car to occupy the same space that I occupied while cycling. While it was clear from the police report and driver’s statements that she was at fault, my situation appeared almost hopeless b...ecause the driver’s liability insurance was less than 20% of the medical and emergency response team costs. Her insurance coverage would not be sufficient to compensate for lost wages, legal expenses, anticipated medical charges, or any other accident related costs. After a period of recovery my quest for an attorney began and after interviewing several lawyers, Fred Sette rose to top as the best match for my case as it was clear that he’s very knowledgeable and he communicated with confidence that he could handle the case with a favorable outcome. Another plus was that Fred himself is also an avid cyclist so I knew he would be no stranger to the challenges of the chaotic dance that exist between automobiles and bicycles. I felt that Fred’s cycling experience would be an asset as he proceeded with handling of my case. During the interview, Fred lowered the level of anxiety and stress that this accident. Fred handled all aspects of my case working with all parties involved, including insurance companies and also third parties that had financial liability claims against me for medical and emergency services. Recall that these financial claims far exceeded the insurance coverage of the person who was at fault. When all was said and done, Fred Sette was able to negotiate an overall settlement that far exceeded what I thought would be possible. In fact, the compensation to me was several times the insurance coverage of the driver at fault. Fred was able to achieve this favorable outcome while avoiding any cost or expense to the driver at fault. Bottom line, I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Frederick Sette to any accident victim looking for good and effective legal representation for their case. One additional comment - after the case was settled, an additional creditor surfaced with a claim of financial liability against me. Fred Sette did not hesitate to step in and handle the situation. Fred extended his resources to make certain that this additional claim would not a negative expense for me. It’s obvious that customer satisfaction is important to the Law Offices of Fredrick Sette.

"As a member of the board of directors of the local trial lawyers association, as a fellow personal injury lawyer, and as a temporary judge of the Sacramento Superior Court, I have had the unique pleasure of closely observing Mr. Sette's work as a trial lawyer representing injury victims. I don't often say this about my competition, but he is one of the best trial lawyers in our region and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking elite representation in a personal injury matter. And by the way, he is truly one of the "good guys" in the business, a straight shooter who cares about his clients."
