Change in Perception of Attorneys

I, like many other people, had a negative perception of attorneys before I hired Stacie Bain. I saw them as a necessary evil, but evil none the less. Her handling of two cases for me has completely changed that perception. At all times she worked for my best interests and made sure I understood all m...y options in a clear and concise manner. Stacie negotiated skillfully and firmly with insurance companies, medical providers, and the state to get the best outcome for me. I am not an easy client to work with, Stacie maintained a compassionate demeanor with me throughout the process. I would highly recommend her as an attorney.

Car/ Bike Collision

All aspects of my case were handled to the extent that my stress level was not a factor. Each step was explained and all decisions were cleared with me prior to any actions taken. The very reason I hired an attorney was to eliminate the hassle of dealing with insurance reps and doctors billing depart...ments so doing it any other way is out of the question. The professionalism, experience and expertise required to guide clients through this potentially emotional and strained period is a must -her work is highly commendable and my choice in working with Stacie has proven to be a wise move in every way. My case couldn't have been resolved with a better result - even as much as I believe I should be compensated much more but I am sure all injury/accident victims feel this way. After their initial offer was deemed unacceptable and we declined it, they came back with more than expected. If you need a caring person on your side to take charge of your case you will not be disappointed when selecting Stacie Bain to do battle with, I am confident that if we went to court we would have fared very well, too!

Outstanding Bike Lawyer!

I was incredibly pleased with Stacie's knowledge, skill, handling, and communication. I also felt like she really cared about me and my story and how the accident affected my life. She is very personable, yet very professional. When you call, she answers the phone, and will talk to you, unlike mos...t lawyers, to whom you must first go through several layers of secretaries and paralegals. She worked with me and guided me through a process over two years that led to a successful arbitration outcome. I highly recommend Stacie Bain if you have been injured in a bike accident.

Stacie Bain saved my life.

There is no way to overstate the proficiency, the caring attitude, or the genuine advocacy I received at the hands of Ms. Bain. Several years ago, someone ran a red light and plowed into my car, causing me brain damage, multiple injuries and rendering me virtually unable to cope. When counselors rule...d my condition PTSD, but therapy wasn't really addressing my brand new emotional discontrol, it was Stacie that realized I had a TBI, and that I needed to see some specialists. I am not the person I was, but I can now function at a much higher capacity than I could before my lawyer, of all people, helped me get the care I needed. Besides that, my case settled without my ever having to testify, saving me a lot of stress and scrutiny that would no doubt be incredibly difficult for me - and awarding me the policy limit that will allow me (someone with only catastrophic insurance) to afford to continue to seek treatment and not go into debt. Stacie was there every step of the way, often emailing me or calling me just to see how I was doing. I can honestly say that I feel like she saved my life. THIS IS THE LAWYER YOU WANT ON YOUR SIDE.

Stacie Bain

If you are reviewing these remarks in contemplation of hiring Stacie Bain as your advocate then look no further. Her dedication and sincerity is unmatched. She brings to the table an inspirational work ethic. Stacie established a relationship of trust and goodwill. She is accessible and communicates ...in a way that is easy to understand. She is practical in her approach. Stacie provides an excellent service of record keeping and case development in a way which makes sense to everyone involved. Stacie Bain has a networking capability that will astound you. She has resources few attorneys can match. I have known many and hired others before her and when it comes to bicycle law I think she is the real deal. I was pleased with the outcome.

"I worked with Stacie on a difficult personal injury case involving a disputed bicycle accident. She was awesome! I was extremely impressed with her knowledge, her compassion, her command of the relevant laws, and her drive. She is an exceptional personal injury lawyer, especially when it comes to pedestrian and bicycle accident cases. It would be impossible for me to give her a stronger endorsement. I highly recommend her."

"I worked with Stacie on case last year: she is an excellent advocate, a delight to work with. She was on top of all aspects of her client’s case, knew the law, and was competent and efficient. This was alloyed with a rare mixture of compassion and tenacity. She could really turn up the heat when needed, but always maintained her professionalism with opposing counsel, so personality never got in the way of what was best for her client. As a result, we were able to get a great result in a challenging case. Stacie is many things: proud mother, caring counselor, skilled advocate. Above all, she is a delightful person, wonderful colleague, with a sure touch with people, an unpretentious grace, and great sense of humor. She is a force to be reckoned with. She has expertise in cycling accidents, so if you’re looking for a lawyer who cares about your bicycle injury and has the passion to get the job done, look no further."

"I have known Stacie for several years and have watched her work and seen firsthand how detailed and thorough she is in the preparation of her cases for settlement or trial. She has an excellent command of the law and the legal system of justice, and uses this to her client’s advantage. She is diligent, persistent, and tenacious in her dealings with insurance adjusters and their lawyers, while being kind and considerate with her clients and mindful of the unique circumstances and challenges each client faces. I highly recommend her to those looking for an ethical, tenacious, and compassionate lawyer to represent them."
