I was in an accident back in January of 2018 and from the start I was confused and unsure of what I needed to do. I was injured in the accident and was certain I needed help. I was skeptical of how to approach the process and very nervous about getting an attorney that would look out for my needs during the entire process. This is because of all the horror stories I had been privy to by friends and co-workers that had been through the personal injury legal process with their attorneys. I made the decision to hire Darren Finebloom based off of how he treated me from the very first call I made.
It s not always easy to tell from first impressions but my gut and his nature told me that he actually cared about me and not his fee. I knew I had the option to change lawyers early on before I signed with his firm, but not once did that thought cross my mind. I have to say I'm so grateful I trusted my instincts. Darren was not just a consummate professional but caring and concerned for my wellbeing. Darren took the reigns and not once backed down to the insurance company (This was not just the drivers insurance but mine as well) who refused to be fair even though it was obvious there was real injuries sustained from the accident. He always consulted with me at every phase, gave me sound legal advice, suggestions and when I asked he made the hard choices that were best for me. His paralegal Teresa Ruiz was also an amazing asset to my case and throughout this process. Together these two make an amazing team. One thing that I'm big on is when I have questions, send an email or place a call I like to get a response in a reasonable amount of time. Well I was taken back with the level of service both Darren and Teresa provided me. They always replied to me emails quickly, answered my calls or returned them faster than I was expecting. This alone is comforting but when you add in Darren's legal prowess, caring nature and overall professionalism it gave me the assurance that I made the right choice.
This whole process took about a year and a half but due to Darren s unwavering dedication and knowledge of the law he was able to help my case come to a conclusion weeks before we were to start the long deposition process. I can t speak for other cases because each one has its own parameters, but in my case Darren and Teresa together stayed forever vigilant which caused an outcome that I was not expecting (I was l resigned to the fact that it was going to be another long year of depositions, mediation and a potential trial).
It was a normal Tuesday morning and I was driving to work when out if the blue I received a call from Darren. I pulled over and what he said next took my breath away. He said Chris I just recvd. a call from their attorney and they gave an offer to settle. This offer was till shy if what was owned in my Dr s, lawyers and my opinion so Darren consulted with me and went back with a counter. In short, this time it didn t turn into a back and forth and with Darren s fortitude they conceded. I m now gratefully done with this life changing experience. II will always be truly grateful for all that Darren and Teresa have done for me. They exceeded the outcome I was expecting!! Thank you both!!
P.S You can t walk this legal path alone. You have to have a guide who has walked it before. One who knows the pitfalls and hazards and can get you to the ends safely and fulfilled. For me this guide was Darren Finebloom and Teresa Ruiz and if my family, friends or I ever need that assistance again I know where to find them, in my favorites tab on my iPhone.
Please know that this review was in no way solicited. It was a pleasure to be able to share my experience (apologies for writing a novel:).
