I have had service done on my vehicle and that service failed and caused a accident. That caused injuries to me. I had to have surgery to my neck. Two cages and plates with screws. Mr Olson of Brown Chiari LLP took the case for me. Mr Olson was able to get me a settlement beyond what I was expecting. He was very dedicated to me and was determined to get me a great result. Everyone I encountered at the law firm was extremely pleasant and very helpful. All calls were returned in the same day. Never left me hanging. I recommend to anyone who needs a great law firm. BROWN CHIARI LLP THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR EVERY THING YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME. PETER BALON.

After being injured on a construction site, Brown Chiari and Mr. Olson represented myself to held the accountable party responsible for my injuries. Everyone I work with from beginning to end was very helpful and made sure I was always up to date on where the case was at. I recommend anyone looking for a rocks-solid team to represent their case to reach out to Brown Chiari.
