After hiring Burnetti, P.A., David and his assistant Charlotte started working diligently on my case. They were able to settle my Children’s case quickly and efficiently with great results. They always make us feel like our time is valuable and important and we know they have our very best interest at heart. I feel confident that David will always provide the best legal advice to me and my family and I am grateful he has worked so hard on my case. I would highly recommend him and his team of wonderful assistants!

Chris assisted my husband and I recently in creating our wills. He took my call immediately, I didn't even have to wait for an appointment. He explained everything in detail, drew up the will and had it emailed to me in only a few hours. He made a difficult topic absolutely painless. He was easy to talk to and extremely professional at the same time - a hard combo to come by in an attorney.
I also had a separate legal issue to discuss and he allowed me to run it by him during that same consultation regarding our will. When I asked how much he charged for the separate legal matter, he was so gracious and told me not to worry about it. Talk about amazing customer service! I will definitely recommend him to anyone that is in need of legal advice in the future.

This is in regards to a slip and fall accident I had on September 23, 2013. This slip and fall caused injury to my left knee and middle of my back.
Because of this slip and fall I had a meniscus tear, strained ligament and plica problem with my left knee, a bulge in one of my discs in my back.
Because of this I had to undergo months of physical therapy, ended up having left knee surgery and then continuing physical therapy for another couple of months.
I hired Moody Law firm in order for them to assist me with getting my medical bills paid etc..
I cannot thank them enough for their assistance during this horrible time in my life, from the very beginning until the close of this case they were extremely helpful, kind and considerate of the situation.
Mr. Spurgin (who is one of the lawyers with Moody Law) was not only very professional and knowledgeable in these matters; but was extremely kind and understanding in all aspects of this situation.
His legal staff were exceptional, there was never a time I could not reach them with any questions, concerns I may have had during this case.
They answered every question and concern I had, whether it was a simple one to a difficult one. I always received the utmost care, concern and felt as if I were the only case they had.
Never once did I feel as if they did not care, or I was just a “number”. This law firm is exceptional in the way they handle each individual person.
They show the utmost care, understanding and definitely go above and beyond their duties as personal injury lawyers.
I will be forever indebted to them, because not only did they solve my case; but they stood by me every step of the way through-out the legal process, explaining every step, or question I may have had through-out this ordeal.
They never once looked upon any of my questions, concerns as minor and replied back to me immediately.
It was a stressful time for me having to experience a slip and fall injury, but they truly made the process easier due to their care, concern and regard of not just the injury itself; but of me as a person.
Whilst I was experiencing this injury to include the pain, the inability to be able to function normally because of it and all the physical therapy, surgery it entailed. But during this time my sister was diagnosed with cancer, and ultimately died from it.
So, not only were they very supportive of my personal injury, they were extremely supportive of what I was going through whilst trying to cope with my sister’s illness and ultimate death.
I most certainly was blessed having them on “my side” so to speak, and will be (as I stated before) eternally grateful to all of them, they really do go above and beyond and are an exceptional law

Dan Moody and his firm Moody Law were they for me when I needed them most. Being involved in a major traffic injury was a scary time for me and my family. They took all of the worries of dealing with the insurance company off my plate. Communication was great, as they kept me updated throughout the entire process.
If you are looking for a lawyer that has integrity and delivers results look no further than Dan Moody.

I met Mr. Burnetti when my GF was in a car accident. She got a nice settlement for her injuries, so I called when I was rear-ended. He explained everything and his staff was so friendly any time I called with a question. I just settled for the maximum amount and he even got my medical bills reduced! I would highly recommend Dean Burnetti Law to anyone who is injured.

I hired Dean Burnettilaw firm after personal injury. I broke my neck . I spent 4 years trying to get this resolved. I went through 4 different legal assistants. Had to explain to all 4 about my case. They barely returned any calls, emails, texts. A couple of times they thought I was another client . They got my information mixed up several times. I see poke with Mr Burnetti on a Friday afternoon, he said an agreement had been met and he would call me that following Monday with the details. Several weeks went by, just before the limit of time for my case was I g I t a notification my case had been dropped. I made several calls , no answers. I never received the settlement. I too decided to hire this attorney because he seemed like an honest Christian. I will forever have hardships from my accident, including financial. He did nothing for me.

I am a single father of a five-year-old Little girl and also pay child support on another daughter. This law firm and their reckless and inept Doctor financially wrecked my family. Choosing this law firm was the worst possible mistake I could've made. Please do not make the same mistake. I was victimized more by Burnetti Pa's Jeff Diamond and Sarah and their Doctors than the actual person that caused the accident. At least he was honest and admitted to what he did. The driver that hit me told the police he was looking at his phone, and another driver with a dash cam sent me a copy of the accident on video. AND THEY STILL MANAGED TO RUIN MY CASE. And when I asked them to address the problems that was going on in the case they told me I was asking them to do something unethical or illegal. Since when is asking someone to do their job a reason for such allegations. I sat around over 6 weeks not working thinking the matter was taken care of and further running my family into to debt to get by based on counting on Burnetti Pa. The doctor's office called Physicians Group on Himes Ave that they sent me to completely wrecked the case over a simple mistake. And instead of owning up to the mistake and correcting it they all left me and my daughter to suffer for their wrong. And I had to catch the mistake, the attorney didn't even know. I have 3 college degrees and I assure you I can tell when a Dr tells me to go back to work or not. Physicians Group on Himes Ave do not care one single bit if you and your family get your money as long as they get their medical bills paid. There has been constant legal problems for Physicians group and them taking advantage of people through it's founders the 1800 Ask Gary and 411 pain networks. Google 411 pain and Physicians group. This is who Burnetti aligns themselves with. YOU ARE JUST A NUMBER TO THEM BOTH. They both want to run up medical bills that is what they do. The only thing that Burnetti PA was aggressive about was getting me to sign away my case to them and from there they did nothing. A month after accepting my case they still did not have the police report and I had to go get it myself and fight with the insurance company myself to get them to take liability for the case. And even though their investigator and Jeff Diamond told me they would help me with my car repairs if I needed it that turned out to be a lie just to get me to sign with their firm. Later they informed me they do not handle that. Lol. That's unethical and illegal. This firm has caused my family a lot of undue stress please do not make the same mistake. The firm and the doctor's office knew that me and my daughter just lost our best friend that was like family to cancer the prior week and they still could not be bothered to return a call or do their job and left me suffering all holiday weekend. Worst law firm ever. I was trying to buy a home for me and my little girl and now I am pawning things to pay rent with no relief in sight BECAUSE OF THEM. BEWARE!! PS That Dr Office employee was so rude to my 5 year old lil girl the first time I brought her I didn't have the heart to make her go back with me. I had to cancel appointments to not have to bring her back. My kid wouldn't stop bringing it up, seriously.
