Dan and Bryan are the absolute best. I could not have asked for better representation. I was in a car accident in 2011 and was injured and they dealt with the insurance companies and doctors when I had to have surgery and really just fought hard for me and had my best interests 100%. They were always there for me and if I called or emailed always got back to me quickly. But Bryan and Dan really went above and beyond my expectations of what I expected in an attorney and I’m so glad found them and chose them for my case. I can’t thank them enough for all the hard work they put into helping me, and how amazing they treated me throughout the whole process. Love these guys! Thank you again.
