- ★★★★★Seasoned Professional Who Consistently Provides Excellent Legal Representation
Stephen · business law ·
I own a firm which manufactures and distributes replacement jet engine parts to a worldwide clientele. Throughout the past twenty-four years Brad Weech and his staff have exclusively provided comprehensive legal services for my corporation as well as my family involving a broad spectrum of legal issu es including product liability, aviation law, employment, contract, real estate, corporate, & estate planning. Mr. Weech has always been a pleasure to work with; he's quick to respond, knowledgeable, competent, and always conducts himself well in court. His communication skills and effective strategic planning has made Mr. Weech invaluable to our organization. Moreover, Mr. Weech’s fees are always reasonable and never inflated. I am one of Brad Weech’s many happy clients and I would recommend Brad Weech to anyone.
- ★★★★★Worthy of Respect and Confidence
Lucy ·
Brad Weech has proven that his professionalism and conscientious approach generates respect and allows clients to place confidence in the representation he provides. In a situation that caused me to enter the legal world with trepidation, Brad's dedication has provided encouragement and support, in addition to excellence with the 'nuts and bolts' of the business. I recommend him without hesitation.

Jeff · litigation ·
Leave your wallet and bank account at home if you intend on hiring him. I hired him for a simple case - he needed to admit my attorney pro hac vice and file documents timely. I did get my attorney admitted but he drug his feet on filing documents. Since he had no duty to draft the documents but only to file them you would think it would be pretty fast. Such was not the case. He spent more time documenting what he billed for than the actual legal services rendered. In short he believes that he has a right to decide what you should pay rather than according to the work at hand. Typical of an attorney who is hell bent on making sure that they bill X amount of hours to keep their cushy 6 to 7 figure income. I have worked with many other attorney's. They all have their faults but Brad Weech has been the worst. Hire him at your own financial peril. You have been warned.
- ★★★★★Excellent, Professional and caring
Brett · family law ·
Brad Weech is one of the Most caring people I had met in the Legal Field. He took his time with our case to get every detail to make our case strong and gave advice to what would be best for our situation. I have used his expertise more than once and wouldn't hesitate to use Brad again. Brad is part of my Legal Team and always will be. Thank you Brad Weech for protecting my family and the family Business. God Bless

It was a good start being referred to Paul from my lawyer from another field, however rarely does that situation EXCEED expectations...being already at a high level going in from the reference, Paul cleared the high bar in all fields. I would highly recommend and know I have peace of mind if I need his expertise in the future.
- ★★★★★Accident Case
anonymous · personal injury ·
Paul did an amazing job with our case. We were in a major car accident and were in over our heads with how to handle the insurance companies. Paul was honest and clear with expectations and next steps the entire time. We are very appreciative.
- ★★★★★Professional and Compassionate
Michelle · litigation ·
Paul was actually referred to me by a a friend who also had an unfortunate accident and was very happy with his services. My case was a tough, I had never been through anything like this and Paul provided me realistic advice and expectations. He ensured I understood what steps were being taken and wh y. His professionalism and hard work paid off in my favor. He is competitive with his pricing and honest.
- ★★★★★When everyone else said no, Paul said yes.
Michelle · personal injury ·
After many legal consultations with no success in finding someone to represent our son, we were miraculously given Paul's info on a sticky note with the words written "give him a try." And so we did. Without hesitation and with full transparency Paul let us know from the start that our son's spo rts injury case would not be easy, but Paul's willingness to FIGHT HARD on our behalf made the road much easier for our family. Needless to say, he (we) WON our case and the settlement we received for our son's pain and suffering was truly unexpected. When we felt all was lost Paul showed us what he can do in spite of our lack of faith. He is absolutely amazing. A true godsend. Thank you Paul for all you have done for Elijah and believing on our behalf. The vindication will never be forgotten!
- ★★★★★A personal injury plaintiff
anonymous · personal injury ·
Paul is, hands down, the very best. Paul and his co-counsel Andy, arrived at my home the day after I was released from the hospital. The entire team provided me with compassion and support as I was going through continued treatment for my injury. Paul and Andy worked tirelessly to ensure I received the very best representation and end result. I often told them they were my “dream team.” Not only are they amazing lawyers, but they are truly amazing people. They made an absolutely unimaginable situation as positive as it could have been. I will never be able to thank them for all that they have done for me and my family.
- ★★★★★Excellent and Professional Service, Highly Recommend for Accident/Injury
Lesley · business law ·
Thomas was a sincere pleasure to work with. He was a commensurate professional when dealing with insurance companies who were the opposite. He displayed consistent clear communication and patience. His team was always professional and kept me informed. He went above and beyond to ensure I understood all of my rights and the different paths to take. When I had concerns or doubt, he and his team took the time to review all choices so I could make the most informed decision. When you need a lawyer it is typically a time of great distress. He ensured to consistently check in on me and my stress levels displaying great empathy, sympathy, and support. Honestly, without his support I would have given up related to my case. He helped me to understand I had a case and supported me through to a successful ending. I would give him more stars if I was able!
- ★★★★★Best. Attorney. Ever.
Dawnese C Hustad · personal injury ·
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I cannot recommend Tom highly enough - and I'm certain that this review will not do him justice . . .but I'll try. In 2012 an individual hit me while I was at a stop, totaling my Ford F150. I suffered a concussion and several injuries which required s urgery and rehab. Through no fault of Tom's, the case dragged on for 2 1/2 years prior to reaching a settlement. The process required my deposition, mediation and an insane amount of discovery. Through it all, Tom was amazing! He and his staff treated me like family. Tom contacted me often, ensuring that I never wondered for a moment what was going on in my case or how hard he was fighting for me. The deposition and mediation were so much less stressful than they could have been. Tom thoroughly prepared me and ensured I knew exactly what to expect. Tom took the time to understand what my priorities for settlement were and why. This meant so much to me. Ultimately, Tom got an extremely favorable settlement for me, and I am eternally grateful. I highly recommend Tom - I cannot imagine having to go through the process with anyone else.
- ★★★★★Gail vs. State of South Carolina
Joseph · criminal defense ·
Tom came to SC to defend my wife who was charged with two counts of murder....of which she is innocent. Tom did a tremendous job and after a month long trial that involved hundreds of testimonials, including intense and complex medical testimony, the jury was hung and a mistrial was declared. Tom wa s ready to return to SC again to represent Gail, but Judge James refused to grant Tom permission to represent Gail since he was not licensed in SC. Things did not go well in the next trial in part because of Tom's absence. I'm now doing all I can to have Gail set free from prison, where she is serving a life sentence for a crime that did not occur. Gail and I both feel that if Tom would of been allowed back for the retrial, she would of been found not guilty and this nightmare would of been over. Thank you Tom for all you did for Gail and myself. We will never forget you and we thank you for believing in Gails innocence. I am now putting together a team to file habeas corpus for Gail. I will never give up on having Gail set free.
- ★★★★★100% Dependabilty and Follow Though
Anthony · personal injury ·
My family was involved in a head-on collision that sent my pregnant wife and I to the emergency room. The other driver was completely at fault, submitted admission of fault, was cited by DPS, and witnessed by two other parties. Despite this, the driver's insurance company was evasive for several mont hs and claimed to not have my family's contact information, citing that as the reason for not taking any action to pay our escalating medical bills. This was unacceptable reaction by the insurance company and I was getting nowhere fast dealing with multiple phone calls from medical billing offices weekly. All this came at sensitive time in my family's life as we were relocating to a new state, buying a new house and welcoming our daughter into the world. Galen and his team came highly recommended and were very thorough in pursuit of accurate compensation from the other party's insurance. They were able to give my family peace of mind that medical billing offices would not be harassing us for payment or unfairly destroying our credit while the process was being sorted out. The communication from Galen's office was prompt, accurate and I was never in doubt that our best interests were being looked after. When the insurance company was starting to show signs for dragging out the process or underpay what was fair compensation, Galen was swift in responding as well as successfully countering their initial offers. I will not hesitate to consult and seek representation Galen along with his team in the future. You should do the same. You will not be disappointed!
- ★★★★★Personal Injury Claim
anonymous · personal injury ·
Galen assisted me with a personal injury claim and I was very impressed with his professionalism and timeliness in resolving my case. He was extremely knowledgeable about the law, upfront and honest and very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him to my close family and friends. Great, positive experience!
- ★★★★★Simply the best - you won't be disappointed!
David · personal injury ·
I highly recommend Galen. He represented me in a wrongful death suit. He was compassionate, professional, and timely in all communications. He set reasonable expectations during the initial consultation and I am very pleased with the final outcome.
- ★★★★★Galen was amazing!
anonymous · personal injury ·
Galen was there for me in a hard time whe. I got into my car accident I was hurt and with out a car he worked quickly and efficiently to help my case. If I ever needed anything regarding my case he was quick to respond and follow through. Very professional and overall a very nice man.
- ★★★★★Excellent Service!
Kim · personal injury ·
After a car accident/injury, I didn't believe I needed a lawyer to handle my case since the other driver claimed full responsibility. I was so wrong. After several months of getting the run around from the insurance company, I was referred to Galen by a friend. He explained the laws to me in great de tail, including what paperwork to expect in the mail and how long the case would take. When he took over my case, I didn't have to worry about anything or spend hours on the phone fighting with insurance people. Galen and his staff handled everything in a professional and timely manner. If I would receive a lien from my medical insurance in the mail, Galen would already have a copy and handle it for me, then email me and explain what they took care of. He was always available to talk with - even nights or weekends - if I had any questions or concerns. Not only did he get the maximum from the driver's insurance, but he also got the maximum from my under-insured motorist coverage. Because of his hard work, my case was completed in about a year - which I'm told is quite speedy for an accident/injury case. I would enthusiastically recommend Galen to anyone requiring services for an accident/injury case.

Anthony ·
Randal was very informative and very understanding. I appreciated his knowledge and determination to see that everything was done efficiently. He is an excellent listener and gets right to the point when answering your questions. I have used other attorneys in the past and after a great recommendatio n from a fellow co-worker of mine, I used Randal's services and was very impressed. He will be my only attorney in the manner and could not thank him enough for the knowledge he has given me throughout the entire process!
- ★★★★★Highly Recommend!
Thomas · personal injury ·
Randal was the best attorney I've ever dealt with. After my accident I was very overwhelmed with all the medical bills, insurance and the lawsuit. Randal explains everything in terms you can understand, is always available for questions, whether its on the phone or over email he is always there to put your mind at ease. And most importantly Randal was brilliant during my arbitration and I received a settlement that was even more then I had originally hoped for. If you have recently been in an accident I highly recommend giving Randal a call.
- ★★★★★Excellent Attorney
Rich · litigation ·
Randal provided superb service during my lawsuit. I was very pleased with the outcome. Mr. Hutsons patient and understanding approach made the case run so much smoother. His understanding of the law also increased the odds that we would win and in fact we did!! I highly recommend Mr. Hutson
- ★★★★★Thank you Randal!
anonymous · litigation ·
Randal took a chance on me when no other attorney would. I had lost my case on a technicality two years prior and NOT A SINGLE attorney would handle my appeal. I forged ahead on my own with help of family and got it overturned. It was the hardest thing I had ever done, but I only had to argue that the judge did not do his job. Once it was overturned, I had to actually proved my case. I did not have the legal chops to do that, even though everything that had happened to me was wrong! I missed a hearing because I did something wrong and was not notified, and started to spiral. Again, I contacted so many attorneys for consults. This case was 5 years old, and the size of a mountain and Randal said YES! He fought for me, and when we there were things he wasn't sure he could handle himself...he brought on another attorney at no additional charge to me! Together, these two were my warriors and super heroes! Finally, after 7 years...my case is done and favorable! I cannot thank Randal Hutson enough for taking that chance on me and fighting for what was right!
- ★★★★★Pleases client

My wife and I are extremely pleased with Randal Hutson and The Hutson Law Firm. Randal is accessible, responsive, and helped us clearly understand our options. We recommend The Hutson Law Firm to anyone who is injured and needs a personal injury attorney to fight for them.
- ★★★★★Exemplary Medical Malpractice Attorney
David · personal injury ·
Fred Rispoli handled a nursing home case involving my mother, and from the beginning of the process to the end, he exceeded my expectations. Mr. Rispoli excelled in keeping me up-to-date on the case as it wound its way through the legal system. When I had to make a deposition or testify in court, he made absolutely certain that I was well-prepared and comfortable with what was going to occur. As the case drew to a close, he was a tough negotiator, and he was very helpful in setting out the alternatives open to my siblings and me. Mr. Rispoli is a gifted attorney and I give him my unqualified recommendation for nursing home and related legal issues.
- ★★★★★Excellent Lawyer

I hired Mr Rispoli to handle a nursing home wrongful death case involving my mother. He was very knowlegable of the law in this area and process. He always kept me informed in advance of any future litigation and what to expect, working with Fred for me was very much stress free. Because of Freds knowledge and expertice in this area of law he was able to get a favorable resolution for me. I would highly recommend Mr Fred Rispoli to anyone looking for a lawyer you can trust.
- ★★★★★Fantastic Lawyer!

I had a great experience with Mr. Rispoli. He was smart, aggressive and successful in negotiating a enormous pay-out on my case. I highly recommend his services!
- ★★★★★Medical Malpractice
Tina · litigation ·
I spoke with 4 other attorneys at length before hiring Fred. It was a sensitive case and discretion was extremely important to me, as well as finding someone who listened, respected my concerns and yet had the # of wins that I felt confident he would be able to handle it. From all the research I h ad done and talking at great length to so many others, when I spoke with Fred, he knew his stuff. He also took as much time as I needed whenever I called, and was able to approach the case with the discretion I needed to even pursue it, but also with the experience to know how to get it settled reasonably. His right hand support (paralegal) Susie worked by the same code of ethics and customer service. Prior to this, I had never pursued legal action and really thought long and hard about it--but it was so egregious I had to move forward IF I could find someone I could respect and trust. You hear so many awful stories. But I can honestly tell you, he truly cares and has the empathy to support you from beginning to end. I cannot give him a high enough rating. Every step along the way, he asked for my approval and changed things when I asked or explained why he wanted to approach it a certain way and then we went ahead. If you think you have a case that can be pursued, these are the people you want representing you. He really does care, and will make sure the right thing happens. His handling of the case made a bad experience so much easier to get through. Call him, you won't be disappointed,he's the real deal!...I am really grateful!
- ★★★★★Michael York is Excellent!
Tommy · personal injury ·
August 12, 2015 (Wednesday); 2:30 p.m. EDT Sierra Vista, Arizona Thankfully, I've led a benign life. I learned when I was very young from my wise parents that life by itself is difficult enough without negatively encountering the law. I went to college with those who became attorneys, and have k nown attorneys through working for charities we had in common, but I never needed legal representation until I was nearly 65 years old. It was a horrific traffic accident I was in nearly three years ago that first caused me to find and secure an attorney. There were several that urged me to contact the firm Wattell & York, one friend, having been in the same circumstance years ago, saying, “You don't stand a chance against the insurance companies. Its against their best interest and bottom line that they pay out claims of any size to anyone.” My first conversation after registering was with Michael York, one of the general partners of the firm. He took his time explaining in layman's terms the course ahead, then invited me to contact him at any time I had a question, concern, or thought. He was terrific and put any trepidations I had to rest. And my confidence in he and his team only grew as my case unfolded. When complexities arose, and they always do, I was so impressed and appreciative of his long and detailed correspondence, clearly articulating options. Throughout the complex and distended process of my case, I was always kept current as to the status of all developments as they transpired. Through much communication and correspondence, it was so evident to see that the general partners of the firm and all supportive staff act as a tightly coordinated force, always pressing forward with their client's best interest in mind. In a world where insurance companies act in the settlement phase of a claim so vastly different than their cute slick promotions strongly suggesting compassion, caring, and fairness for all, I feel beyond fortunate that I retained the services of Wattell & York. Thanks to Michael York, Wattell & York is an extremely competent, well run, and efficient organization that I highly encourage anyone to retain. When you do, with a determined and tenacious team on your side, you have a tremendous chance in getting the settlement you so richly deserve. Best Wishes, Tommy Neyhart (520) 220-0221 tikiney@yahoo.com 4406 Big Bend Street Sierra Vista, AZ 85650

Caleb · personal injury ·
I was a passenger in a vehicle that was struck by another vehicle that ran a stop sign. I was hurt badly. The company that was insuring the vehicle I was in was giving me the run around, while the insurance company of the at fault driver was completely ignoring me. I needed help fast. A friend of min e suggested Wattel and York, so with hesitation I sent off an email. Within literally 5 minutes I received a phone call. Much to my surprise it was the attorney’s office, and not just a paralegal or legal assistant. The ACTUAL attorney called me and discussed my case! I went in the following day for a consultation and they took my case. Throughout the whole process, all I can say is how wonderful this firm is. From their legal assistants and paralegals all the way up the lawyers themselves. They’re timely and accurate in their communication, whether it is over email or telephone. I could call and talk with the attorney anytime, and they would drop what they were currently doing to answer any questions I had. My fear and despondency disappeared with sweet release as I read the demand letter that Michael York sent to the insurance companies. It was extremely well written and was “matter of fact” in its demands. The insurance companies paid out in full all that was requested from the demand letter without hesitation. I would HIGHLY recommend this law firm to anyone who was injured in an automobile accident. This law firm really does fight for you!
- ★★★★★Very informative
Anthony ·
Mr. York took the time to actually explain any potential issues I may have with my case. I met with several other lawyers, but was told just what the attorney thought I wanted to hear. I appreciate Mr. York's honesty and integrity, definitely not what I expected.
- ★★★★★Outstanding service
anonymous · business law ·
I had a significant problem with a large auto insurance company in paying labor rates at a recommended auto body shop. After 9 months of squabbling including a demand letter from an attorney, I was referred to Mr. York. Mr. York took the case and was able to work with the insurance company in an ef ficient and timely matter. He was able to get me reimbursed in only a few short weeks. I would highly recommend Mr. York to anyone.
- ★★★★★Great Service and Professionalism
