Amy helped us in a drunk driver situation. She was caring and precise and knew exactly how to handle all our problems. It totaled my husbands car and he had to buy new one. Then on top of it he was in such pain from accident. After months of covid and dr. appointments, she resolved this quickly and expertly. Danger and Amy made a good team; one of them was always there to answer questions. I rate her a 5 star plus...
Absolutely dynamite fantastic lawyer and danger simply superb always responded right away very professional and polite explained everything to me and settled my case in a timely manner thank you both very much. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a good attorney thx again god bless!!!
I worked with Amy Vela and her assistant Danger Milanes after a car accident in mid 2020. Both Amy and Danger were extremely knowledgeable and responsive (within 24 hours) to any questions I had. I appreciated that Amy provided me with different options for my case and allowed me to decide which route I wanted to take. They worked around my schedule for phone appointments and handled everything on our behalf.The only thing we needed to focus on was healing. In the end, the settlement for both my son and I was more than I expected. I hope that I am never in a situation to need their services again, but if so, I would utilize their services or recommend any friends or family in need. Thank you Amy & Danger!
I am totally impressed with the work Amy and Danger did for me. I feel so honored that I had them on my side. I was at a park and was attacked by a dog that was running loose. I went back and forth about hiring an attorney, yet from my initial phone call to just consult with them, to the moment I received a settlement — I was treated with so much dignity and respect. I don’t know how to thank Danger and Amy enough for being there for me. All I can say is if you are considering hiring a lawyer, Amy and her assistant Danger are the way to go.
Amy and her team, Lilian and Danger were able to obtain a great recovery in my case! They’re a great firm and I would recommend them to anyone! Made dealing with this a lot easier! Thank you!
I got ran over by a car while riding my bicycle on the sidewalk because the bike lane was closed due to construction. He ran over me his tires went over my body. Amy came to the hospital for me and then handled everything from there she didn't accept no junk that the other insurance company was trying to throw our way . She got me a great settlement . She also has a really great assistant Danger who went through and explained all the documents to me and helped make sure that I was happy if i am ever injured again i will definitely go back to amy and her team.
We ere involved in an accident that was not our fault. The vehicle at fault was a state vehicle and we were advised that our case was going to be difficult and that we needed to hire someone with experience with these kind of difficult cases. We reached out through friends and family on social media to help us find a good lawyer who would fight for us. We were referred to Amy Vela by a friend that was dealing with a difficult case themselves and suggested us to call Amy. We did and felt very comfortable going forward with the case with Amy as our lawyer. Amy and her paralegal Danger Milanes really fought for us and we were able to get us a settlement we thought was fair. It was a difficult case with a lot of back and fourth and Amy and Danger really helped to relieve a lot of stress and keeping us informed.
If you are looking for a personal injury - accident attorney I highly recommend Ms. Amy Vela. My vehicle was rear-ended in September 2018 and I contracted with an attorney our family had known since the 1990’s. This attorney has been in practice for 36 years. After 10 months of absolutely no progress being made on a simple claim for minimal medical expenses and diminished vehicle value we went to litigation and my file was turned over to Ms. Vela with the Friedl Richardson firm. The moment I met with Amy I knew that everything was going to work out fine. She thoroughly explained the process and the various situations that commonly occur, and what my options were. I was taken by her professionalism and genuine concern and I valued her desire to educate me on what to expect. I did some online research and learned that Amy attended Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and graduated with Highest Pro Bono Distinction. Amy worked fast and efficiently. Her communication was, by far, superior to what I had previously experienced and in a matter of a few weeks I received a settlement for both the diminished value claim and the personal injury claim. She did exactly what she said she would do and the result was what she anticipated. I only wish I had known of Amy before my accident and my case would have likely been settled 9 months sooner. Ms Vela has been licensed for over 10 years and she successfully served my needs in a few weeks after I had wasted 10 months with a seasoned attorney who had 36 years of experience. Should I ever have the need for a personal injury - accident attorney in the future I would immediately contact Ms. Amy Vela.
After my motorcycle accident involving an underinsured driver, Amy explored every option to ensure I received the best settlement possible and was able to significantly reduce the hospital’s lien against me as well as my insurance company’s right of 100% reimbursement. Amy kept me informed throughout the entire case. Hiring her was the absolute best decision I made.
Amy was very helpful after my accident and during the whole process, as a college student far from home there were parts of the legal process that confused or scared me that she was happy to explain. She also explained every step of the process and possible outcomes and then asked me what I was most comfortable doing
