Responsive, CaringI was in a car accident March 2024, ending up having some significant health issues. I called Frank Azar where I was helped by Emily Benight. She was wonderful and was always quick to respond to my questions. I’d recommend Fran Azar to anyone!

Knowledgeable, Attentive, ResultsThe best in the state is Frank D. Azar. Emily, the attorney that was assigned to my case, was knowledgeable, helpful, and attentive to the things I needed. She responded in a prompt manner, every time. My case was taken care of, start to finish, in less than a year. She also got me 14 times, the initial offer from the insurance company. Call ‘em, you’ve got nothing to lose…

Helpful, CommunicativeI was rear ended on 4/22/22. I reached out to Frank Azar Car & Truck Accident Lawyers to see if had a case. They agreed to take my case. I have been working with Emily Benight throughout the process. She was very helpful, and explained the process which put me at ease. I still have a long way to go in my healing journey from my injuries. But I would definitely recommend using their services if you’re ever in an accident.
