Adam Engst

I was involved in a collision where the at-fault auto driver turned left directly into my lane of travel while riding my motorcycle. My motorcycle was totaled and I sustained a left foot injury along with lots of discomfort and road rash! The at-fault drivers insurance company treated me very nicel...y in the beginning, but when it came time to settle the claim, I was appalled by their offer! It was at that time I decided to hire an attorney to get me what was fair and just for my accident. A quick online search of reviews for attorneys in the Bellingham area pointed me to Adam Angst. Upon his hiring, Adam assured me that he would get the insurance company to do what's right. After some investigating, he found that there were several liens against my case in an amount that exceeded the original offer by the at-fault drivers insurance company!! Had I settled at this time, I would have been responsible for those liens! Adam's hard work and determination lead to a settlement covering ALL liens and included a pain and suffering settlement that was OVER 4X's the original offer presented to me from the insurance company. The results Adam achieved in my case exceeded my expectations! I would not hesitate to hire him again and would highly recommend him to anyone injured by no fault of their own!

Even before my accident, I had substantial pain and limitations in my left shoulder. When I was rear-ended, my shoulder got much worse, but I made the mistake of telling the insurance company that I already needed shoulder surgery prior to the accident. Despite this, Adam worked with my medi...cal providers, reviewed my medical records with them, and got them to agree that I was in fact NOT surgical prior to the accident--but I certainly was afterward. Even with my shoulder surgeon on board, we still faced an uphill battle due to my off-the-cuff recorded statement that I previously needed surgery. As a result, we had to file a lawsuit, go through discovery and depositions, and endure a lengthy and slow negotiation process. With my doctors on my side but my own statement working against us, both sides had a lot of risk if we were to proceed to trial. Accordingly, Adam was able to negotiate a settlement that exceeded my expectations. Adam represented me for almost 4 years, and during that time, took a job at his new law firm. I had the choice to remain with Adam’s old firm, but I decided to stick with Adam, and I’m so glad I did. If you need someone who can stand up to insurance companies for 4 years in a complex case, then give Adam a call and see if he will help you.

Adam and his team took on my case for a combined tibula/fibula fracture with complications. They worked hard and did an outstanding job with the insurance company to get a great resolution for me. They were caring and considerate with me and fought with health insurance companies to significantly r...educe the reimbursement amount they were asking for which resulted in additional funds in my pocket! I would recommend him to anyone who asks.

Adam was a godsend as a lawyer. Our first conversation was a turning point in my experience after the hit and run. Adam said, you focus on getting better, and I'll take care of the rest. And he did. Adam was compassionate, diligent, timely, accessible, responsive, and clear. He is surrounded by a ...team of friendly, competent, and helpful legal staff. I waited too long to get a lawyer. I was suffering physically and stuck my head in the sand and hoped that my insurer would take care of things. I have never been so mistreated by an insurance company. Don't wait. We were up against a statute limit. Adam has many superpowers as a lawyer of action. He sleuthed out the identity and location of the hit and run driver, taking immediate action to serve the papers and file paperwork, preserving the case. He gathered evidence, witnesses, medical paperwork, and leveraged legal letters and actions to move rapidly to the best possible resolution. Adam and his staff communicated clearly at every step in the process. I was very glad to work with such a capable and compassionate advocate. Highly recommended.
