“Josh A – My father was in a motorcycle accident on 5/31/2010. Seeing how the accident wasn’t his fault and there was more than one insurance company involved, my father and I realized we needed to seek legal advice on how to proceed. Like most in need, we looked here on Google and found Smith and Hassler. I contacted them and spoke briefly with the receptionist who then forwarded my call to Daragh Carter. Daragh and I spoke for 20 minutes as I filled him in on the details involving my father’s accident and he asked that I come in and meet with him as soon as possible. My father and I went into their offices and were invited to sit in a conference room. We waited there a few moments until Melissa came in and started taking our case information. After we spoke with her for about 15 minutes Daragh came in and again we went over the accident and all information we had. Daragh said they would represent us and we didn’t need any further contact with the involved insurance companies. Smith and Hassler even helped my father locate a good physical therapist that would work within his health plan. It took Daragh some time but he was able to get the full insurance amount from both involved insurance companies and a nice settlement for my father. Both my father and I are very thankful to Daragh, Melissa and everyone else at Smith and Hassler who worked on my father’s case. Daragh and Melissa’s hard work and dedication helped my father through a very difficult time. I hope I never need their services again, but if I do I am confident that Daragh, Melissa and Smith and Hassler will be there for me and my loved ones.“
