David Abeyta

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.

I went to Abeyta/Nelson on a recommendation and wasn’t sure what to expect. Patty and David set my mind to ease from the beginning to the end. Answered all my questions and even some that I didn’t ask. They didn’t use all the confusing legal terminology, they present everything in a way anyone can un...derstand. I’d highly recommend them over and over again.

David is a great Lawyer. He was very helpful. When I hired David and his team he went through the process with me explaining what will be happening due from my car accident. By, making sure I understood what the process was and making sure my questions were all answered. David and his team always ans...wered my questions quickly. David also took his time to keep me in the loop of what was always happening. I highly recommend David Abeyta.

On a previous car accident I hired another attorney which I NEVER got to meet and did nothing for me. I met David on my first appointment which that alone said a lot, I was impressed with it. He was professional and laid everything out to me, gave me a timeline and told me what to expect. The timelin...e was a little longer than expected but I am glad everything got taken care of. I would definitely recommend him.

I met with David after being hit in a crosswalk and his calm, positive, and professional demeanor prompted me to hire him to handle my case. Once hired, David provided me with very clear expectations of how the process would work and what timeline to expect. One thing I found very impressive though... was the emphasis he put on me getting better - he said several times "You're only job is to get back to normal. My job is to handle everything else." That sentiment and reassurance was incredibly important to me as my wife and I were getting ready to our first baby and worrying about legal, bills, and health was not something I was thrilled about thinking about. Throughout the process David and his legal assistant, Patty, answered all of my questions fully and clearly in a timely manner. David even called me on his day off from a store to answer a question I had emailed him just hours earlier. We have finished the case and I couldn't recommend David, or the entire Abeyta Nelson team, more highly for anyone that wants their case handled professionally and by someone who clearly cares.
