I consulted with Nick Verderame regarding a case with a family member. Not only does he have a deep understanding of the law, he exhibits compassion and truly has an amazing sense of empathy for what the family is going through. I would recommend his services with absolutely no reservations. He is everything a personal injury attorney should be!

Nick Verderame is an exceptionally experienced trial lawyer warrior. He takes cases to trials and wins for his clients. His victories ultimately help his other clients because the insurance companies know they will face a trial if they don't settle. I absolutely recommend him without reservation!

After being rear ended and speaking with several local attorney offices within the Tucson area, we were told that they wouldn't take the case as it wasn't worth their time. We were given Plattner Verderame from a family friend in California. They didn't hesitate to take the case. We worked with Paul during the process. He kept us updated as to what was going on the entire time. We would use them again, if every needed, and highly recommend them to anyone else that needs a great accident attorney.

I suffered a serious traffic accident while visiting Arizona from Canada. Nick and Frank Verderame came highly recommended by Oatley/Vigmond, a prestigious law firm in Canada. At first I was apprehensive as they are a small boutique law firm. Now I know why they were so highly recommended. Nick and Frank are amazing Attorneys who are experienced in fighting large insurance firms on behalf of their clients.
They laid out a comprehensive plan getting me the medical care I needed. They did not back down to pressure and were fully prepared to litigate in court. I sincerely believe their stellar reputation as wise fighters helped achieve a good settlement. I highly recommend Nick Verderame as a compassionate, talented litigator.

Frank Verderame helped my daughter after she was involved in a horrific car accident. While she was in her coma and for years after as she fought to overcome her injuries, Frank never slowed down in helping her to receive the the best outcome in her case. His entire office was always there to answer any questions I had during the process of the lawsuit. Through all of the ups and downs we went through, he was wonderful at thinking outside the box to always get my daughter the best outcome.

I was in a car wreck last year and I didn't know where to start from nor what to do. A friend of mine referred me to Plattner Verderame. I met with Nick and Kandi, went over what happened and signed the documents. The process was frustrating because we had to deal with different insurance companies but Kandi and Nick were AMAZING and especially Kandi was on top of all of it!! They definitely kept me looped in with every progress... answered my calls and emails when I had any questions (believe me I had A LOT of questions because this was my first accident) The case was recently closed with a win! THEY ARE AMAZING, PROFESSIONAL, and especially they know what they are doing!
I would definitely use them again if needed (god forbids I was in an accident again) and recommend them to everyone! I wish I can give them more than 5 stars because they deserve it and they earned it! Thank you team! I appreciate all your help and everything that you've done!

I needed help making sense of the whole process - turns out navigating uninsured motorist claims and demands isn't easy to do on your own! I'm sure I wasn't the biggest case he had going, but I never would've known...He and his team are complete professionals who respond promptly, answer every question (even ridiculous ones), and are not looking to rush you through a process just to get to a settlement quickly. They do what's right for you, the client, and I'd absolutely refer Nick to my friends & family.

When I first contacted Frank Verderame about our familys need for legal assistance, I was struck by his passion for the case. It was as if the issues were directly affecting his own familyand that was just during our first phone conversation! Following our initial face-to-face meeting with Frank and Nick, my wife was just as impressed as I was. Instantly, we felt as if we were in the most capable hands possible!
The whole team seemed to take the case personally. When we asked for information, we got it; as much (or as little) as we wanted. When they asked us what we wanted to do, we felt our best interests were being served by relying on their experience and best judgement. The whole team was accessible, professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to the best possible outcome for our case. Truthfully, we did not expect that our case would turn out as well as it did.
We couldnt be more pleased with the outcome (unless we never had need to file suit in the first place). I hope that well never need legal assistance of this kind again but, if we do, I would not think twice about calling on the team again.

In my esteem, he went above and beyond and looked into the matter rather fully even though I had only contacted him looking for some general advice.
