I take the time to meet with my clients, understand their concerns and put them at ease. Many personal injury lawyers won't take the time to meet with you and leave you feeling just as stressed as when you began. If they aren't available to meet with you now they may not be available to answer your important questions later.
My wife and I found Chad after having a bad experience with another attorney. To say the least, we didn't have a high opinion of attorneys or the process by the time we had found Chad. Chad went out of his way to explain the process to us and to put us at ease about our case. He told us that he would work hard for us and kept his word with everything that he told us. He was available to talk to us personally EVERY time we had questions which really made a huge impression on me and my wife. He genuinely cared about us and getting the compensation for our injuries as well. Chad's professionalism and personal touch was second to none. I would highly recommend giving him a call and see for yourself what being a truly exceptional attorney is all about.
C. Archer and S. Archer
Ms. Archer and her husband were injured when another driver slid into them while speeding in a snowstorm. Ms. Archer herniated a disc in her neck in the crash. Mr. Archer suffered from soft tissue strains. The other driver was insured by American Family Insurance. They denied liability and made no offers to the Archers. After we began preparing the case for trial American family changed their tune and offered Ms. Archer the limits of their insurance policy, $100,000.00.
I graduated from law school with honors in 2003. I trained in trial advocacy under one of Florida's best personal injury lawyers and won a scholarship for my performance. I knew from the beginning that the courtroom was where I belonged. Since that time I have tried over a hundred cases before juries and judges. I have repeatedly seen insurance companies treat people unfairly when they either aren't represented or are represented by personal injury lawyers who aren't willing to take their case to trial if necessary. An experienced Washington and Oregon personal injury trial lawyer can make all the difference.
Facing legal proceedings can be intimidating and stressful. One aspect that can help decrease the stress is to hire an exceptional lawyer. Chad Stavley is an exceptional lawyer and I was fortunate to have Chad represent me and my case. There are many aspects to Chad that make him an extraordinary lawyer. Chad cares about his clients and works diligently on their behalf. His experience as a prosecutor and defense attorney gives him a well rounded working knowledge that greatly benefits his clients. Polished professionalism and honesty set Chad apart from other lawyers and makes him wonderful to work with. Last, but certainly not least, Chad gets results. I highly recommend and endorse Chad Stavley to anyone who needs legal representation. He is a truly outstanding lawyer.
Heather. F. P.
Heather was injured on her morning bicycle commute in Corvallis, Oregon. As she was riding down the road a truck pulled out in front of her pulling a long trailer. Heather hit the back of the trailer tearing the ACL in her left knee. The driver was insured by State Farm. State Farm told Heather the injury was her own fault and never made her any settlement offer. Other lawyers turned her case down. I took her case to trial in Benton County and the jury returned with a verdict of $132,349.60.
Insurance companies try to take every advantage they have to reduce any personal injury award you may get. They will send you lots of letters asking for releases, asking for recorded statements and trying every way possible to discredit you and make you take whatever low offer they make; if they even make an offer. Most have large firms full of lawyers representing them. They have lawyers; shouldn't you too?
After my accident I was dealing with a great deal of pain. Additionally, I had to deal with the stress of someone denying any liability in the incident. I was fortunate enough to find Chad Stavley to discuss the circumstances with. Chad's perspective and guidance brought me peace of mind and reassurance that the situation would be resolved. Chad worked with me to settle the case favorably and efficiently. Chad handled all of our interactions with professionalism, integrity, honesty and class. I have, and will continue to, recommend Chad to others without hesitation.
H. Scott
Ms. H. Scott was injured as she commuted by motorcycle to work. A truck driver pulled out in front of her forcing her to lay down her motorcycle. In the process she injured her knee requiring a relatively minor surgery and physical therapy. The truck driver was insured by Liberty Northwest. They denied liability for the crash because the two vehicles never even touched. Ms. Scott came to see me and we began preparing the case for trial. Liberty Northwest "re-evaluated" the case and we resolved it for $95,000.00.
Mr. Stavley assisted me every way possible when it came to helping me in my auto accident. I highly recommend him as he was considerate, caring and handled every aspect of the paperwork, as I'm in the later years of my life and found this a great stress on me. All was taken care of in a most professional manner. He handled all with great efficiency and what could of taken years to settle was done in a matter of months to my satisfaction. Lastly, he returned all of my phone calls in a timely fashion which I much appreciated. I recommend him to everyone who needs a friend in need.
Sincerely, A. Scott
Ms. A. Scott was hit by a drunk driver who was uninsured. Her car was destroyed and she had two small fractures in her back. She was dealing with the criminal court system (as a crime victim) and with her own insurance company for her uninsured motorist (UM) claim. We worked with the prosecutor and criminal defense lawyer and were able to negotiate a cash transfer to Ms. Scott and then were able to get a $100,000 "policy limit" settlement for Ms. Scott from her own insurance company.
If you have been injured and have questions about the process I encourage to call and let me answer your questions. The call is absolutely free and totally confidential. If you'd rather meet in person for a free consultation, just give me a call and we can get a time scheduled.
