Alabama Bike Accidents Lawyers
He was gracious in putting me in the right direction and I was contacted almost immediately by his recommendation.
There is not one doubt in my mind, that in the event I need a personal injury attorney or know someone needing one I would highly recommend The Garnett-Patterson law firm.
I contacted Garnett Patterson seeking assistance with an auto accident. Within a hour of my inquiry, I received a text message to set up a phone consultation that day. Though my case would not require his legal representation, Hunter Garnett kindly and thoroughly explained the laws and procedures, so I knew what to expect and how to proceed. I highly recommend Garnett Patterson!
Him along with his legal team ( thanks Julio) were always transparent and very informative about every step as it happened.
I was more than satisfied with the end results of the case and would recommend him to anyone that finds themselves in the same like condition.
I was involved in an accident with a commercial vehicle in September of 2023, which was deemed to be caused by the CDL driver almost immediately. The accident caused $13k of property damage to my car and came very close to totaling it due to the cost of repairs! Thankfully, no one was injured! The third-party company that handled the claim for the trucking and insurance company was very shady and unprofessional! I could go on all day about how stressful the situation was!
After several months, I spoke with the third party handling the claim about the possibility of a diminished value claim. I was advised I would need to purchase a damage estimate and submit it to them. I got the estimate; I attempted to submit the lost value claim to the third-party insurance representative with the trucking company, and I was advised I was owed nothing. It is well known that the value decreases when a car requires significant repairs after a collision, so I knew this was wrong! I knew I had to find an attorney.
I called at least four local attorneys in the Huntsville-Decatur area before I called Hunter's office. The first three said it basically wasn't worth their time, that with a 33% attorney fee, it was too small to take. I called a man in Birmingham who told me to call Garnett Patterson. Hunter without hesitation agreed to help me! He barely made anything taking this case; the monetary value was small. Hunter accepted my case because it was the right thing to do! I’ve also seen the things Hunter is doing for the Hispanic community, which without saying are a great act of selflessness! Hunter took it upon himself to help a fundraiser I had undertaken to pay for a memorial of a co-worker as well! I’ve even seen him help ppl add coolant to their cars outside the front of his office! He’s really one of a kind and a very genuine and down to earth guy!! If we had more people like Hunter, whose actions are driven by a genuine desire to help without expectation of a reward, this world would be a much better place!
Mr. Garnett took a personal interest in the case due to the situation and worked diligently to achieve the best possible outcome. Mr. Garnett and his staff kept me, and my husband informed during the entire process and addressed any concerns promptly, even when he was on vacation! Any time we had a concern regarding the case and the interaction between our insurance company, Mr. Garnett and his team reassured us, and did an amazing job! I am incredibly grateful for their dedication and would not hesitate to highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal counsel for injury claims/vehicle accidents.
When the case was completed Mr. Garnett asked my husband to come to his office. My husband was blown away by Mr. Garnett’s down to earth, personable and honest persona, and I can say without a doubt that anyone who hires Mr. Garnett will be dealing with a person of very good moral character, integrity, and dedication!!
Throughout the process, the team maintained clear and consistent communication, ensuring I was informed and comfortable at every stage. Their attention to detail, dedication to my case, and genuine care for my well-being exceeded my expectations. I felt fully supported and confident that my best interests were always their top priority.
For anyone in need of seasoned legal professionals who deliver results with integrity and skill, I highly recommend this team. They have my deepest appreciation for their tireless efforts and exceptional service.
