Outstanding, Highly Recommend

I never write reviews, but make an exception because David Abeyta and his law firm deserve an excellent review. My husband was the victim of a dog attack in 2022. We’ve lived in a quiet Ellensburg neighborhood for about 15 years and my husband uses a walker. When he exited our fenced area to our ...mailbox on the street, a neighbor’s dog came out of nowhere from behind, and threw my husband to the pavement, leaving him immobile with a broken pelvis and in extreme pain. He spent two weeks in the hospital and it took him a good six months to recover. We sought legal help from Abeyta Nelson, and David and his staff did an excellent job. People sometimes think they can do everything themselves and don’t need a lawyer or think it will cost too much. But someone in an injury crisis may not have good judgment when upset and distracted. Good legal representation is needed and is well worth the cost of the services. Insurance companies often pressure people to settle quickly for a low dollar amount, before the full extent of injury is known. Settling too quickly can be a serious mistake. Here are the reasons I chose Abeyta Nelson to help us through this crisis to a good settlement figure: 1) When my husband was injured and in the hospital, I knew I was not in the right mental state to use good judgment; 2) I wanted specialized legal help from a law firm focusing on and current in this area of law with a good understanding of what a reasonable settlement should be; 3) The Abeyta Nelson firm specializes in personal injury. 4) The firm has an Ellensburg office, which made communications easier for me while caring for my injured spouse; 5) The firm has an excellent reputation and has secured many high-dollar settlements and judgments; 6) David and his staff were courteous and responded quickly to my calls; 7) David is very experienced in this area of law; 8) David personally visited with us several times, both on the phone and in person, including making trips to our home when needed; 9) David understands the administrative and legal complexities of working with insurance companies (including Medicare) and how long it takes to finalize billing; 10) David and his staff successfully interfaced with Medicare and our supplement provider to take the administrative burden off me while caring for my injured spouse – to me, that alone was worth the reasonable cost of the legal services; 11) I knew that if David could achieve a good settlement figure it would spare us the extra stress, uncertainty, time and expense (deducted from any judgment) involved with going to trial; 12) But I also knew that if the insurance company was unwilling to settle with a satisfactory sum, the firm is well known and respected, and David wouldn’t hesitate to take the matter to trial. Insurance companies know this too – they know they can’t manipulate the victim to a low settlement when dealing with a firm of the Abeyta Nelson reputation. 13) Having a lawyer represent us took the stress and pressure off me so I did not have to talk to the other party’s insurance representative, deal with insurance issues, or make difficult decisions without competent advice. It took over a year during recovery working with David and his staff to finalize our case, but David secured a very attractive settlement. While one hopes never to be injured and need legal help, if you need competent, trustworthy, caring, experienced and respected legal representation, I highly recommend David Abeyta and his firm.

Hit by a car in my home

I was watching TV when an uninsured motorist crashed into my home. The car struck the chair I was sitting in. I was rendered unconscious and received whiplash and a serious concussion. My daughter contacted David Abeyta. The driver was uninsured and I Truly didn’t expect any financial help, as I wa...s renting and had no rental insurance. David secured payment of the full amount of the uninsured motorist coverage of my car insurance.

Professional. Positive experience.

I consulted and hired Mr. Abeyta due to car accident injuries. I could not deal with the insurance company on top of my injuries. They took care of EVERYTHING, including doctor recommendations that were outstanding and held off on billing until settlement. I didn’t worry about anything except recover...y and my family. He brought it all together and settled for more than we expected. Would definitely recommend.

great lawyer, professional, thorough, and highly recommended

although my case had limitations set by insurance company, abeyta nelson was able to maximize settlement amount for me, by negotiating reduced amounts for bills, and even reducing their fee when they did not have to. I feel they had my best interest in mind, and I would definitely return if I ever ne...eded and injury lawer going forward (which I hope never happens). They made a painful process as easy as possible, and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone in need of an injury lawyer.
