Hank Greenblatt is persistent, unwavering, no-nonsense, caring, compelling, professional, experienced, and all around amazing. He is someone you want in your corner. I can t recommend Hank enough.
I was in a terrible car accident. An underaged/unlicensed/uninsured motorist broadsided me with my kids in the car in midtown Sacramento. My Jeep Commander took a beating for us and we walked away without any serious physical injuries. But this was a huge accident that left all of us shaken and scared for a long time after. I was encouraged by friends to reach out to Dreyer Babich Buccola Wood Campora, LLP, and Hank Greenblatt specifically. I didn t think I had much of a case since my kids and I didn t break any bones or worse. But I figured it couldn t hurt to see what he has to say. My husband and I met with Hank a couple days after the accident. I was still bruised and scraped up, and extremely emotional from the trauma. Hank was an immediate calming presence on our side. He explained what happened to me from a legal and liability standpoint, and what my rights were as a victim. He explained how a lawsuit works, how we could sue my insurance company for an uninsured motorist claim, and that he would not take one cent from me unless we won. I felt energized and hopeful for moving forward with Hank and the DBBWC team. As months went by, there were physical therapy appointments, discovery requests, and offers of settlements that were miniscule. Then there were the depositions. The other side s attorney made me feel like I was faking it, not injured, not scared to drive, and basically lying. It really put me in a low place and made me question moving forward at all. But Hank was always there to talk me off the ledge and remind me what happened to me and my kids. He was personally insulted by what the other attorney was doing to me, and then there was no stopping Hank! We went to arbitration (via Zoom). I was examined and cross-examined, as was my husband. To put it simply, Hank destroyed them. For every pathetic argument they had against me, Hank shot back with logic and common sense. The closing Hank delivered was so eloquent, professional, and emotional. I signed-off from the arbitration Zoom thinking that whatever happens, I know I had the right attorney. He understood everything about my trauma and life after the accident, and was able to explain it so succinctly in a way I have never been able to verbalize myself. Typically, decisions from arbitrations take weeks. The judge even closed by saying it would probably take about 3 weeks before we heard back from him. Color me surprised when Hank texted me a few hours later saying, check your email! The judge had written his opinion, and it was all for me! The judge agreed with Hank in every way, and I was awarded a very generous settlement, more than I even thought possible. I hope I never have another car accident like that one again. But I promise, I will always use and recommend Hank Greenblatt and the great team at DBBWC.
