1. Personal Injury and Accident Claims
“Brandon was the best to work with! After my car accident, he made the settlement process extremely easy, stress-free, and he was quick during the process too. He helped me out a lot and got me exactly what I needed, would definitely work with him again if it is necessary!”
“I was involved in an auto accident with a semi truck on I-79 earlier this year which totaled my vehicle. I had never dealt with a situation like this and was dealing with unresponsive representatives from the trucking company at fault. I wasn't sure the right steps to take and how I should handle the situation on my own and ensure that I was able to get myself back in a comparable vehicle and be compensated for any costs that I had as a result of this accident. I immediately got in touch with Tyler and he helped me navigate all the steps to take with my insurance company and then met with me to get all the necessary information he would need to make a claim with the at fault trucking company. Not only did he help to reassure me that I would recoup my costs he was also able to get my rental vehicle extended on two occasions while I was in the process of purchasing a new replacement vehicle. In addition he was always responsive and quick to get back to me on all my emails and questions. We just settled the claim and all my thanks to Tyler as I recovered the costs I was due and a nice additional settlement for injury, inconvenience, and loss of wages as a result of the accident. I highly recommend Tyler and his firm if you are in need of their services!”
“If you're looking for an honest attorney, that will give you 100%, and shoot straight with you, give Tyler Slavey a call. He worked quickly, and tirelessly, with me. He was able to obtain a top settlement, without a drawn out process. Not enough stars for his commitment to his clients.”
“These guys are the best. Their attention to detail is extraordinary. They investigate every option to ensure you get your maximum entitlement. I was expecting one amount and was pleasantly surprised to have gotten more. My previous experience was with firm that rushed through got you a settlement and moved on. Brandon's attention to detail made my bottom line larger. All of these guys treat you like you are family. They are not stuck up snobs. If I could give more than five stars I would give them the night sky full. Thanks again guys you are the best!!!!!!!”

After agreeing to take our case, Tyler was professional, courteous, responsive and was always looking out for our best interests.
