While I would gladly trade the money in a second to erase this whole nightmare, knowing everything was being taken care and that Peter and Alyce were working on my case made the best out of a terrible situation.

I was driving down Route 3 in Gambrills with a green light when another driver made a left turn in front of me causing a high speed crash. Both cars were totaled. I didn’t know what to do and the insurance company didn’t seem like they were looking out for me. I contacted Peter Hatfield at McGowan & Cecil on the advice of family friend who is an attorney. I was pretty seriously injured and I haven’t improved even 2 years after the accident. Pretty scary. It became clear pretty quick the insurance company only cared about making me go away and telling me I wasn’t as hurt as all my doctor’s said. They didn’t even want to pay for my medical bills and all my doctor’s were in agreement about my injuries. The insurance company delayed as long as they could at every step. The court system takes a long time which was surprising. Peter explained everything and how the process works. Peter fought them the entire time. We even had to file suit since they were being unreasonable. The insurance company made an offer of $11,000, $13,000, then $27,000 and said that is their “final offer” take it or leave it. They were just playing a game. Peter kept putting pressure on the insurance company and never let off. 1 week before trial, Peter settled my case for $100,000.00. I don’t think I would have had the same result with another law firm. While I would gladly trade the money in a second to erase this whole nightmare, knowing everything was being taken care and that Peter and Alyce were working on my case made the best out of a terrible situation.
