My attorney, Kyle, at Hauptman O'Brien was fantastic. It was a long process, at no fault of the attorney, and He kept me in the loop of the progress on my case, and fought for our victory until the end. I highly recommend them for their professionalism, care of the little guy, perseverance, and personal dedication to detail.

I highly recommend Klye McGinn as an injury lawyer. Klye went over and beyond with my mom. My mom is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s and Kyle was patient, caring, and listen to her concerns. He took the time to explain thing to my mom, over and over again as required. His professionalism, energy and experience showed when it came time to deal with the big insurance company. He did much more than I expedite. He worked very hard with the other insurance company and doctors to get the required documentation needed. Thanks, Kyle, for a seamless transition. My mom was very pleased with her settlement. Thank You Judy Woods

I never received my safe ride home voucher but they reached out to me and made sure I would get one, I really appreciate the gesture! So awesome of them to do so!

I think this is a great idea(Offering a Uber ride) that this Law firm is doing. As someone who worked in Law Enforcement for over 28 yrs. I've seen my share of accidents involving someone who was driving while impaired. This frim is providing a service that benifits the community. Programs like this can make a real difference. They are giving a safe & easy alternative when someone otherwise may make a risky decision. It's encouraging to see a local business step up in this manner.
