Adam Engst exceeded every expectation related to my injury claim. When negotiations stagnated, Adam set up a Zoom meeting with the adjuster. After the virtual meeting at the BMBC law office, the insurance company DOUBLED their offer! I am happy to recommend Adam without qualification. He is conscientious, communicates reliably, and will fight to get you the best settlement possible. Five out of five stars!

I highly recommend Brett McCandlis Brown and Conner. I'm a lawery and have referred many clients to the firm. They are always highly professional, get tremendous results (including many multi-million dollar settlements), and are really good people.

Very good very good

Adam Engst is an excellent lawyer. He is professional and personable. He explained the process thoroughly. He was always happy to respond to any questions we had quickly. My husband and myself were involved in a serious rear end collision. We were both injured. My husband required neck surgery and will have continued pain and limited mobility of his neck. This affects our future financially as well. He has lost income by severally limiting his ability to work. Adam fought to get medical costs related to injury plus the maximum $ amount from the insurance company and succeeded! The settlement was in the 6 figures and will go towards our being able to live without fear of losing our home. And for future medical expenses. In my case because of my illnesses, I was unable to get medical treatment for my crash-related injuries, which would normally mean that my case was not very valuable. However, Adam was able to convince the insurance companies that my low medical bills did not reflect the severity of the injuries I suffered. As a result, Adam was able to get them to pay every last dollar of all the insurance policy limits available. We were so impressed and satisfied with Adams representation. I would without hesitation recommend Adam Engst to anyone who needed a great lawyer for an injury case.

I suffered a serious neck injury in a rear-end collision that was not my fault. My case was somewhat complicated by the fact that I had suffered a cervical spine fracture about 20 years prior. Although I tried to avoid surgery at all costs, my pain never went away, and I ended up needing a three-level cervical fusion. As a result of my injuries, I was unable to do many of the tasks required of me at work, and my employer was essentially forced to outsource my position. I faced the serious risk of being forced into an early retirement, and as I am the sole breadwinner for my household, that was a daunting possibility. Fortunately, Adam was able to work with my employer, my surgeon, the insurance company, and their lawyers to get me every last dollar of insurance benefits available, which was more money than I ever thought possible. If you have been seriously injured, you should not hesitate to give Adam a call. He is kind and considerate with his clients but knows how to force insurance companies to do the right thing.

I needed an attorney after my accident and these folks were just what the doctor ordered! professional and caring and never made false promises. I walked away very satisfied with the outcome and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone needing representation dealing with insurance companies and in the court of law.

Adam Engst is Mr Mojo! Seriously, 3 years ago at the end of May 2021, I and a close friend were involved in a terrible accident on an ATV. My friend eventually died and I had severe injuries including a broken femur, multiple broken ribs, and damage by kinetic force to my calf. I was at a loss of what to do, as I was certain there were multiple parties at fault. I can not get into the details but can say after consulting with Adam, that I made the right decision to go forward with a claim. The case was complex, as multiple insurance companies and friends were involved. I was extremely distraught about the whole affair as I began this process. I had lengthy P.T. and severe depression with PTSD type symptoms for a long while. One thing I can say is, upon my initial meeting with Adam, within about 10 minutes, I knew I had the right person to help me. In a prior line of work which could be perilous at times, I had to quickly judge the character of new people whom would enter my circle. Figuring out who would fly straight and 'have my back' took many years to fine tune, but I became pretty good at that. So my 'radar' concerning Adam pinged as someone I could trust. I was never proven wrong by him or his law firm of Brett McCandlis, Brown & Conner. I am grateful that we did not have to go to trial, as there were hurt feelings involved already by me deciding to choose the action that I did post-accident. Adam did give me the final say on all major decisions, including the possibility of going to trail if the defendants insurance companies did not settle. I basically told Adam, that, "I did not want to 'Cross the Rubicon', but go ahead Caesar and have your horse put its foot into the water." Well, he did, and Rome blinked. The insurance companies blinked, and decided to settle just at the wire. Not sure exactly how Adam pulled it all off, but then I am not an attorney, though I have had them in the past. The result was I got a hefty settlement. While money is not everything, it is going to help me as I move on from a terrible accident. If anyone reads this, know this: I highly recommend Adam Engst, and the law firm he works for. Sincere thanks Adam....'Mr Mojo'. Mike

As a long time resident of Whidbey Island, it was hard finding a personal injury lawyer after an ATV accident. It was hard finding someone I could trust to represent my case but I feel truly fortunate to have found Matt. My case was difficult given the circumstances, but I feel Matt did the best he could have with my case. I ended up with a quite sizable settlement and avoided having to take my case to court. However, I feel the more important thing is my actual experience. Matt, his paralegal Madi, and everyone I interacted with along the way were incredible. Matt and Madi were always professional but also managed to be personal in the best way. I always felt cared for with them. On top of checking in on my injury, they always asked about me as a person. I cannot recommend this firm enough. I have to never need a personal injury lawyer again, but if heavens forbid I do, I will surely return to Matt.

As a long-time resident of Whatcom County and working in Bellingham, I was involved in a serious car accident during my commute. There was significant damage to my car from the wreck and I suffered a bad back and shoulder injury. In pain and overwhelmed with all of the insurance paperwork, I hired Bellingham personal injury attorney Matt Conner to represent me. Matt helped me with my personal injury claim and obtained a significant settlement. He is a compassionate personal injury lawyer that fought hard to help me receive a compensation package that exceeded our expectations. Matt’s team was communicative, patient, and dedicated to my case. I never thought I’d need a lawyer, but I’m so relieved that when I did, I was referred to Matt.

I was initially hesitant to reach out, thinking that my car accident "wasn't THAT bad". But on the advice of a friend, I reached out to Brett, McCandlis Brown & Conner, and I am thankful I took the advice. Paula and her assistants have been amazing. They answered all of my questions, they pointed out pros and cons of any course of action so I was making an informed choice. They helped calm my nerves and made me realize I wasn't being unreasonable in what I was asking for. Paula worked hard to get me the most she could with regards to the settlement and I am most grateful for all that was done on our behalf! Thanks Paula and team!

I came to Matt and David when my son was catastrophically injured in a skiing accident. They immediately understood the case and handled everything in a timely, compassionate manner. Because of them, we were able to receive compensation from multiple sources and went well beyond other firm’s estimates. What happened to our son was tragic, but because of them his material needs and medical expenses should be covered for the entirety of his life. We so appreciated all of the staff for their compassion and kindness towards us and aggressive action to help compensate for the difficulties he faces now and in the future. Phenomenal step by step updates without any unnecessary work for us.
