Patient, Helpful, KindThe Frank Azar team did an incredible job on my case. This was the first accident I’d ever been in (and hopefully my last) and navigating this with an under insured driver would have been an absolutely nightmare. Emily Benight’s team helped every step of the way. Particularly Tyler. He was so patient and helpful with me and answered every single question I had and really took the time to make sure I understood and felt comfortable with the path we were taking. While a car accident is never an enjoyable experience, this team made a frustrating circumstance bearable with their kindness and expertise. I’d 100% recommend them to anyone that finds themselves in a similar situation. Thank you!!
