Thank you so much for all your help! I would have been lost in the sauce! Since insurance companies are huge bullies.

I really appreciated the tenacity of my lawyer, also the plain-speak that was used to for legal terms. Negotiating the settlement and our wish to pursue litigation. I felt that I was well prepared.

Everyone that I have talked to here was very kind and willing to help with anything. There was never a time where they didn’t offer a drink. The small things matter and they overachieved in helping us with this case. Thank you!

My best experience with Bachus & Schanker was the knowledge and professionalism of my attorney. She handled my case in a very timely manner, returned my calls, and helped me in all aspects.

I was involved in a car accident last week. I was serious injuries and my friends car was totaled. I called around to friends to find a good attorney to help me. My lawyer friend referred me to Bachus and Schanker, They send an attorney out to my home last Saturday night to talk to me and to take my case. They have helped me this week to get medical care, and explained the process to me. I can't tell you what a relief it is to have some one have my back, while I tend to my recovery. If you need a personal injury law firm, I urge you to give them a call.

The staff of Attorneys and Paralegals were courteous and friendly. Sympathetic to our feelings and understanding to the situations that occurred. Responded to questions asked with fair and honest answers. Very supportive in all aspects.

Chris was very professional and he gave it his all to help me settle my claim. I appreciated his help and his knowledge of the law was very impressive. He didn't take any "stuff" from the Carnation company's lawyer. He helped keep me calm because I knew he would take care of any unusual questions that they brought up in the deposition (and they did) and he was so very professional in the arbitration part, too. He kept the issues under control when Carnation lawyers tried to get the talks off track. I want to thank him for his help!!! I was glad he took my case and I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Thanks!

After months of looking for an attorney to take on AMFAM for my sons injury, a premise liability case, I am not sure you are aware but you were the 4th attorney I contacted and the 3rd attorney I hired. The previous 2 attorneys I hired bailed on my son stating that he would never see a settlement or a good verdict by attempting to take on this large and apparently intimidating company to court. I interviewed and hired a very large well known firm. They 'took' our case for about a week and then abandoned my son. I interviewed and hired a very small firm, hoping they might be just the right size to be 'hungry' enough to take it on. And they did, but abandoned my son after 14 months. And I interviewed but did not hire another yet another firm, I did not hire them because they stated flat out and with certainty that there would be no chance of a settlement or a positive outcome or verdict to a lawsuit. To make a long story short, Chris, you and your firm in the way of Goldie-locks were just right. Neither of you abandoned us. You were sympathetic to my sons injury when other attorneys and firms made us feel as if his body part were completely insignificant and that we should just go on with our lives, ignore his injury and act as if it is okay to let the big guy continue to hurt the little guy. You knew that there would be a battle ahead with little to possibly no pay-out for you. You were not just about the quick dollar but saw us as a family with a real concern and a cause. NOT ONLY did you get us a settlement offer, you advised we turn it down and see his injury case through to court. You won my son's case and won him 3-4 times the amount offered as a settlement. Where other attorneys said it could not be done, you got it done. Your steadfast attention to my sons case and belief in doing what was 'right' gave my son back some dignity and pride. This is beyond anything money could have given him. He actually softened some again within 24 hours of the verdict, he thanked me for not giving up, not quitting after the 3rd attorney. You did not abandon him, you saw us and his case through til the end, which was by all standards a WINNING verdict. His medical bills were paid and then some. The long road through the process of a deliberately dragged out law suit for my son's personal injury was a true learning experience. An experience my son, myself and my family will never forget. It's been less than 24 hours and I can honestly say, my son has a lighter step, a chin held higher and love in his eyes. It's an event long over due. You took us out of being victimized to feeling vindicated. We thank-you from the bottom of our hearts. May you and your firms other attorneys be blessed with more than a few hugely successful windfall cases, so that you might be able to continue to take on cases because you "just believe in it"- I will also always remember those words. "I believe in your sons case".
