Brian worked hard on my case to make sure I received a fair settlement. I was awarded two settlements on my injuries. I highly recommend Brian Franciskato.

If I had to recommend an attorney to anyone else--friends, family, or acquaintances--it would be Brian Franciskato. In working with Brian for almost three years, I found him to be the most complete legal representative anyone could ask for. His work was meticulous, his replies and explanations were immediate and complete, and his friendly demeanor reinforced his commitment to our lawsuit. We never doubted his determination to succeed or his certainty that he would. Any questions on our part were answered immediately and in detail, with Brian's usual good humor and understanding. We never had occasion to criticize any of his dealings with us or with his goals to resolve our case successfully, which he did. From Day One and my first conversation with Brian, I had complete confidence in his experience, his abilities, and his years of successful representation. And all of this was enhanced by his winning personality and dedication to those he represented. We do not live in Brian's home state of Missouri, but that was never a consideration or a problem for him, or for us. He was even a guest in our home in our introductory meeting. Despite the usual pitfalls over the time frame of the case, Brian never faltered or foresaw a failure. And in the long run, he did as he had promised when he achieved an entirely suitable settlement. When our case closed, it was capped by an exchange of mutual respect and goodwill. If a situation was ever to arise that required legal representation again, I would not settle for any attorney other than Brian Franciskato.

We had never hired or had need of a lawyer before and we were scared. You always hear such negative things about lawyers and their character. We met with Brian and all our fears were gone. He was helpful and thorough and made us feel comfortable right from the start. He is personable and informative and always kept us up to date with everything that was going on. My husband has a very varied work schedule and Brian would always work around it. Sometimes even calling after 9 pm from home. He was always there when we needed him, and never complained that I called too much! He got us a lot more money than we expected and we never even had to go to court!
