Review: Goldfinger Law
5.0 "I don't know where we'd be without Brian"
My daughter was hit by a car crossing the street. The car ran a red light. My daughter lost consciousness, sustained a traumatic brain injury, broke 3 ribs and fractured her pelvis. It was a really terrible accident. I found Brian Goldfinger and his firm Goldfinger Law over the internet. They called me back right away and came to visit my daughter at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. I didn't have to pay Brian any money, because we could not afford a lawyer. Still, Brian took on our case. I was worried about paying a lawyer's legal fees, but Brian explained to us that we would not have to pay any money to him until the case settled, and that if he didn't get any money for the case, we would then not have to pay him any money. This really put me and my family at ease, because we don't have that much money to pay for a lawyers bill. The insurance company's lawyers were very mean, but Brian knew exactly how to handle them and what to say. My family was very nervous before discovery, but Brian put us all at ease. He was a constant calming presence throughout the case. Whenever we didn't understand anything, Brian always set things straight for us, in easy to understand words. This was really helpful because these lawsuits can get complicated. Brian's understanding of the law and how insurance companies work is next to none. He knew what the insurance companies were up to at all times. He predicted their every move. When our case settled we were so happy. They money has meant a lot to my daughter and my family. It's made a real big difference in our lives. I don't know where we'd be without Brian.
