Brink provided me and my wife with excellent service. He was there to answer all of our questions. In the end he was prepared to present our case and negotiated an agreeable payment for us. If you are in need of an attorney to represent you I highly recommend Francis "Brink" Hinson.

I had a medical malpractice case that another attorney said he didn't want to take . This case fell in the hands of this firm with Frances *Brink* Hinson. Brink Hinson did an excellent job to get this case settled and closed in a timely matter. I don't think I would want anyone else to handle any future cases for family, friends or for myself if need be other than Brink Hinson. He always called me before he did anything for the case. He wanted to make sure I was ok with what he had to do for this case. I highly recommend this Attorney for your legal needs. Thanks Finkel Law Firm

I appreciated Brink's patience with me in handling my case during our time of grief. I speak of his patience because during this ordeal it was difficult for me to process a lot of the information being presented to me. Brink was always available to update and repeat information, with patience, every time I called. If ever he was unavailable he would make it a point to get back to me in a short amount of time. He made himself available and I appreciated that very much. From my experience I would say Brink is an attorney who knows how to do his job and does it well.

I hired Brink Hinson when he worked for a prior law firm and followed him to Finkel Law. Before I agreed to move my case I wanted to get to know the form and the team I would be working with. I liked the Finkel associates and partners and felt they were a good fit for me and would represent my case in a matter that I would be happy with. Bill Padget joined Brink and were a fantastic team to work with through all of the steps and meetings required for a lawsuit. My requirements were to be made aware of what was happening, understand the process, know the key dates, and have a brief call every couple of weeks to discuss the progress. Most attorneys do not want to involve their clients to that degree but Bill and Brink understood I was not trying to interfere with their work. I found them to be respectful of me and had a desire to work with me, involve me in the handling of my case. That was not the feeling I had with other firms I interviewed.

I had been trying to settle an auto accident where I was not at fault for almost two years. The insurance company was taking advantage of the situation and I was beyond frustrated. After hiring Mr. Hinson, it felt like a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. The settlement was reached in two weeks. I could have never gotten that far without him and appreciate all of the help so much!
