Brett McCandlis Brown & Conner attorney David Brown worked closely with his client Virginia to help her after she suffered serious injuries in a t-bone car crash in a collision in an intersection.

Prior to working with David, Virginia had settled the first part of the insurance claim on her own, obtaining the policy limits of $100,000 from the at-fault driver’s insurance coverage. But when Virginia asked her own insurance company to honor the Under-insured Motorist (UIM) provision in her own policy, her insurer offered a mere $5,000, although Virginia’s medical bills totaled $350,000, because the UIM carrier claimed that Virginia’s back problems were not related to the crash.

Virginia knew then that she needed legal help, so she contacted attorney David Brown. After David worked intensively by proving to the UIM insurance carrier, using medical records and the testimony of Virginia’s doctors, that the back injuries were indeed directly related to the car accident, he negotiated a $500,000 policy-limits settlement. Virginia would have likely been unable to negotiate this settlement without the help of an experienced personal injury attorney like David.

David Brown and Judy Wagner are the DREAM TEAM! They are amazing! They listened, kept me informed, walked me through the whole process, they were so kind and caring and because of David and Judy, I was able to receive a much larger settlement than I expected. I am truly so thankful for them.

I hired Adam Engst six years ago after I was in a car accident. I injured my neck and back and have struggled with for many issues since my accident. Adam fought hard for my settlement for six years and got me more money than I could’ve imagined. He also continued to fight for me after my settlement closed for overpayment to care providers. He and his paralegal Nichole are absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend him enough!!

After a serious biking accident, my wife and I thought it would be simple dealing with insurance companies. Well, it's not! We are so thankful we hired a personal injury attorney. Matt Conner helped us navigate this complicated process as I was recovering from multiple injuries. We appreciated his expertise and compassion, as well as the clear communication with both Matt and his excellent paralegal, Maddi. We highly recommend Matt Conner and his team!

I had the opportunity to work with Matt Conner after I was the victim of a DUI collision in downtown Bellingham. My car was totaled, and I sustained injuries as a result of the accident. I almost didn’t make the call to Matt, but I am truly grateful that I did.

From the beginning, Matt was compassionate, responsive, and incredibly helpful. He guided me through every step of the process with clear communication and sound advice. Anytime I had questions, he was quick to respond and always took the time to ensure I understood my options.

Matt’s professionalism, combined with his genuine care for ME, made a difficult situation much more manageable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.
