Charlie Brandt is obviously a seasoned professional with tons of experience in negotiating settlements with insurance companies, and being that he was with the DA’s office for years, he is one of the few personal injury attorneys willing to go to court when the settlement isn’t fair. He has helped many clients with their medical and personal expenses while waiting on the settlement, because he knows he is going to win! Highly recommend using this law firm!
