Attorney Sharon Sybel represented me after a car accident. She put me at ease with her confidence and ability, guiding me through the process of what otherwise was a very unfortunate incident. Im grateful for her service and I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome.
I was involved a car accident and retained Brian Cunha & Associates’ East Providence, RI office. Every time I called, Rose was always more than willing to put what she was working on to assist me right away. You can tell she enjoys her job. My attorney was Karen and she was also good. I didn’t speak with her too often, but when I did she was always extremely friendly.
Thanks to Karen Alegria for being able to help me with my case. She did a great job and I highly recommend her
A delivery truck on North Main missed a stop sign and plowed in the passenger side of my Toyota I was the only one in the car, but my whole body got snapped and my neck took the worse of it. This law office was awesome. They handled everything from the medical bills to dealing with the insurance company and helping me get the accident report. After rejecting two low offers from the insurance company and Brian threatening litigation they made an settlement offer I was happy with. Brian, thank you for your perseverance!
I was injured as a passenger in a car accident and all I got was the run around from the insurance company. "Send this document, send that document, we didn't receive it, send it again." I finally realized their plan was to never pay me! I hired Brian Cunha and in half the time I had spend running like a rat on a wheel he handed me a check for a lot more that I would have settled for with the insurance company. Thanks Brian!
I was hit by a delivery truck by a driver that was probably texting because he had drifted over the yellow line. Luckily for me the car behind the truck saw the whole thing and gave a statement to the police. I have a relative that used Brian Cunha for an accident they got hurt in and they said this lawyer knew his stuff. I did the free consultation and the attorney explained how the process of filing a claim works and basically told me how his office would handle the claim. I went with him and it was a good experience. There were no mess ups and they kept me informed of what was happening with the case. Brian did ask some questions that the police officer did not include in his report. He also followed up with the witness to get some additional information about my condition after the accident and the condition of the bike. This additional info turned out the really help me get a fair settlement. The staff was helpful and when I had a question for the attorney I got a call right back. I would use them again, but I hope I don't have to!
My car accident in Fall River was not black and white. The kid that hit me made up a story about the accident that put me at fault, even though I had been rear ended! The police report did not attribute all the blame on the accident to him. Attorney Cunha's team was able to use the photographs of the accident to show that the other driver was 100% at fault. Because of their tenacity in getting the photos and being able to recreate what happened my settlement from the insurance company was 50% more than it would have been. Result count, and an experienced attorney is key!
