Once we contacted their office they took care of everything. We no longer had to communicate with the insurance company at all. The stress relief of that burden alone was so worth it! These guys make things so easy and tell you exactly what to do and when to do it. They answer all of my questions even after hours and always made me feel like our case was important.

Everyone in the firm from the attorneys to the support staff were very helpful to our family from the very first contact in our time of grief and loss.
The response to every question and need was immediate and professional while at the same time extended with compassion and empathy.
They were able to anticipate many of our needs and concerns including making suggestions about actions to consider that we had not even thought about .
The availability of our attorney and case manager extended even beyond what might be considered normal business hours with returned phone calls, texts, and e-mails.
Thank you to the entire Broussard & Hart firm.
