Our Client Testimonials
-
“My wife and I were involved in a 4 vehicle accident in late 2011. I was following my wife as we drove separately in our cars. As traffic stopped in front of her, I saw the situation and proceeded to slow almost to a stop when a vehicle following me, obviously not aware of the situation, struck me from behind, forcing me into my wife's car and she into a truck in front of her. All the vehicles besides the truck were totaled. Two "witnesses", who were not at good vantage points to see the accident, wrote incorrect information, which unfortunately the other driver's insurance company grabbed onto in their claim their insured was not totally at fault. Our insurance company was not obtaining witness reports and other information to help us in this situation. As we had suffered injuries directly related to the accident, as well as lost both cars, we chose to hire an attorney to help navigate through the mess. I searched online reviews and AVVO and identified a couple possible attorneys. After meeting with Rob Kornfeld, we knew we had just hired an advocate and an experienced litigator who wouldn't be deterred by insurance company tactics. I'm so glad we did. While the long wait to conclude medical procedures and to schedule depositions took much longer than we would have hoped, in the end, at arbitration, the legal expertise of Rob Kornfeld was evident and the smoke and mirrors presented by the opposing insurance company counsel proved futile. The Arbitrator ruled 100% in our favor and we had 0% liability. The Arbitrator award was reasonable and allowed us to recover our costs and reimburse for medical expenses plus some general damages. Rob's legal staff was good at keeping us updated when we had questions and responded to my requests for copies of documents and information. Rob shared his cell number so we were able to communicate directly when key parts of our case were coming up. Rob was very frank about potential risks he saw in the case, as well as what he felt was needed to prove our points. He always asked if there were questions we wanted answered during depositions and would help explain things me or my wife didn't understand. We felt heard, supported and confident being represented by Rob Kornfeld. We have no reservations in recommending Rob and his team to anyone needing representation against in insurance environment that is all about business and the bottom line.”- Brian

“Former King County Superior Court Judge Charles Burdell mediated a dental malpractice lawsuit, in which Rob represented a midwife following several botched dental surgeries to recover $1,250,000 for her, and the Judge commented: “Just a short note to congratulate you on a fine piece of lawyering. I meant what I said at the end of our mediation that your client was lucky to have you. You really added value to her case and should be proud of your work. I am!”- Judge Charles S. Burdell, Jr.

“We left our first meeting with Rob Kornfeld confident that he would be able to help us. We felt heard and understood right away, and it was very quickly apparent that Rob is a seasoned attorney with years of experience to his advantage. He showed true compassion for our circumstances upon meeting him. Rob has compiled a team of bright and competent associates, all of them competent, hard-working professionals. The communication from the entire team has been outstanding, with prompt, thorough updates and guidance throughout the process. We feel lucky to have had Rob and his team represent us, and we are very thankful for their combined efforts and expertise. They were able to navigate areas of law that aren’t a certainty with the best possible outcome. The representation and support we received from Rob Kornfeld and his team was a gift, for which we will forever be grateful.”- Pam O.
