It was a long, stressful process and I was ready to give in, but Brett took the time to ease my anxiety and fought to get me a much better settlement. He always kept me updated and returned calls and emails in a timely manner. He was so easy to work with. He took the time to explain each step of the process in an easy to understand way.

“Thanks to Attorney Brett Eckstein, My daughter suffered significant injuries to her face from a dog bite. After getting repeated phone calls from the insurance company of the dog’s owner, my wife and I decided to consult an attorney. I contacted Cannon and Dunphy and was fortunately put in contact with Brett. Over the phone, I explained the circumstances of what occurred to my daughter and that the insurance company had contacted us multiple times to settle the claim. After our phone conversation, I met with Brett in his office. He went over the circumstances of the case. It was on his advice that we had a case worth pursuing. At no time did I feel pressured to go forward with the case, it was left completely up to my daughter, wife and I. Brett was able to set our minds at ease thus we went forward with the case. After a couple of months of work by Brett and his staff, the case was settled for a substantial amount of money. I never once had to do anything except sign a few forms and respond to a few emails.
At the hearing Brett was with us helping to put my daughter at ease and made the hearing non-threatening. After the judge approved the settlement, the judge commended Brett for his integrity in how he dealt with our case. Thank you again Brett.” – Rick W.

Take the weight of dealing with insurance companies and receiving fair compensation off your shoulders.” – Casey P.
