The whole team made us feel very secure, safe and heard. They walked us through every step of the process, thoroughly.

Paula and her legal office were kind, caring, compassionate, and expediate with their communication. Their advice and wisdom led to a succesful settlement and outcome of my vechicle accident situation. I can't say enough about how great their professionalism was. It is becasue of their time my matter was resolved. I recommend to all in need.

In the summer of 2019, I was hit by a car while riding my bicycle. Fortunately, I do not remember the accident. The EMT’s put me into an induced coma at the scene of the accident and after a few days in the hospital I was brought out of the coma. After waking up, all I wanted to do was to get out of the hospital and back to work in a business I had just started. I felt that the aches and pains were just a distraction from the dedication I needed to make the business successful. My punctured lung, broken ribs, broken other bones, smashed in face, missing teeth, my body numb from the hips down, and a severe head injury with a hematoma could just be ignored. Maybe I was not thinking straight! My wife suggested that we should sit down with an attorney regarding the accident, and I reluctantly took a meeting with Paula McCandliss from Brett Law. I wasn’t keen on lawyers, and I did not put much effort into the meeting. My thoughts were that I’d quickly get over my bumps and bruises and Paula would be wasting her time with my case. Well, I was not thinking straight, and thank goodness for Paula putting up with my callousness. The physicians and hospital staff did a respectable job putting me back together, but it’s hard for them to determine the extent of the injuries, and of course the medical profession cannot get you back to 100%. After my discharge It took time for me and my primary physician et. al. to determine my ongoing care and what medical problems would be permanent. Let me say this- I was fortunate to have met Paula and her team at Brett Law. They were always personal, professional, and caring, and not to mention they worked tirelessly on my case. It was ‘my bad’ to assume that they were just a firm chasing an ambulance. To my ignorance, I didn’t perceive the onslaught of hospital and specialty physician invoices, the art of dealing with medical and auto insurance companies along with collection agencies on invoices that were never presented to me. Paula helped us get through all these unforeseen hurdles with kindness, legal insight, and experience. She is a great coach to lead you through the myriad of difficulties you may face after a painful accident, and I highly recommend her. You will appreciate both her legal skill and warm personality.

Paula is an excellent attorney. Have only heard good things about her work.

I worked with Matt Conner and the team at Brett McCandlis Brown on a personal injury claim. Matt provided sound legal help in a compassionate and understanding manner. We all deal in the vocabulary of our professions, and sometimes it can be hard to explain things in good detail to a person who doesn’t share that expertise. Matt had no such trouble, and confidently guided me through filing my suit, what to expect of the process and how he was going to proceed. Matt is easy-going and took time to email or call when he had updates or information about the status of my case. Matt is affable and down to earth, he was able clearly communicate the where’s and why’s of my case. He even took the time to sit with me for three hours in Bellingham Municipal Court. When there were challenges or delays, he was on top of informing me and making sure that I knew and was right there to help with any questions that I had. I would strongly recommend anyone seeking legal assistance with personal injury call Brett McCandlis Brown and speak with Matt. - Jon
