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!

I have worked with and alongside Plattner Verderame for a number of years now and the legal representation they provide their clients, more specifically the injured, is nothing short of fantastic. I will always sing their praises because I see how they interact with the families they represent. Call them now if you are seeking help with an accident and/or injury - you owe it to yourself.

I had a very complex case where I made many mistakes.before contacting Plattner Verderame. Not only did they help correct some of the mistakes I made, they were able to handle the case in a professional and timely matter. I was grateful for the outcome and was able to get the medical attention I desperately needed.
I will continue to recommend this firm to all my friends and family.

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 found both Paul King and Richard Plattner were terrific advocates, professional, pleasant, and understanding in presenting the facts and circumstances of a case on my behalf. I additionally felt most comfortable and confident with the entire team. They practice in a manner that is befitting of their firm which is so highly thought of; I now fully understand why.

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.

After a family tragedy I was left with the daunting task of finding a lawyer to help me and my daughter for the wrongful death of her mother. One whom I'd feel comfortable with reaching out to and confident enough to move forward. Being from another state on the other side of the country I had no idea where to begin. I had no references, recommendations and nothing more than the internet. In the past I have worked with other attorneys on other issues and those resulted in both negative and positive experiences. I knew, and was afraid that I could spend hours, driving myself mad, reading review after review, looking for laywers on the internet I'd never be anymore satisfied. After a brief search of wrongful death lawyers, I came across their Plattner Verderame website. Their website looked modest and that's what I was looking for. I took a chance a called their office. After a brief conversation with the firms staff, Frank Verderame reached out to me. We spoke for a while and I became increasingly comfortable. Over the next few conversations I never felt Like Frank was telling me I wanted to hear. He informed me of the obstacles, foreseen challenges and a variety of potential outcomes. He was exactly what I was looking for in a lawyer, someone who's optimistic but genuine, expresses their concerns, their honesty and most important letting me take part, allowing me to help by do everything I could on my end and being apart of the conversation. From experience I knew it was going to be a long process but my confidence in Frank allowed me to carry on day to day without the pressure of the situation constantly on my mind. I was a peace with the way things were going. Ultimately a settlement was worked out with the insurance to an extent I could of not possibly expected a better outcome. I am beyond grateful for the services Frank and his team. I want to make a special mention to Donna Grettenberger for her tremendous help as well as one of the firms Paralegals.

Great lawfirm! This was the first time I have had to seek legal aid and Nick and Kandi were awesome. They made a difficult and confusing process go smoothly and helped me with all questions I had every step of the way. They went above and beyond to make sure I recieved a fair settlement. Everyone at this lawfirm has been wonderful, helpful, ethical, professional and polite to me and I greatly appreciate it. The energy and motivation they had to fight my personal injury case was infectious and I gladly recommend them.

I first came to Richard Plattner a few years ago after an injury. I had met with several other attorneys who, after hearing my story, declined to take my case. This was very disheartening since I'd suffered a legitimate injury, but they felt the case would be too challenging. I was very depressed and had almost given up hope when I contacted Richard. It was an incredible ray of light when he seemed interested. I'd never filed a lawsuit before and was quite nervous. But Richard and his amazing assistant Donna were always patient, supportive, and attentive. I definitely never felt like I was "just a number" to them. Over the course of three years, they were there for me through all the legal footwork, offers and counteroffers with the other side, and my deposition. Every time his name came up with someone, they always said, "Richard has an excellent reputation. You are in good hands!" That certainly proved true. Richard brought all his skills and experience to the negotiating table, and he was able to secure an excellent settlement for my case. I can't describe the weight that's been lifted off my shoulders, and I am eternally grateful to Richard and his firm for their work on my behalf.

I was a client of Plattner Verderame, PC. Richard Plattner was my attorney. From the first day I met Richard he was kind and informative. He was clear in his communication with me and he understood my concerns and hesitation to file a lawsuit. He provided me with factual information so I could make decisions. Though filing a lawsuit is stressful, he and his assistant really helped me through the process. The end result was more than I had hoped for. Thank you very much Richard and staff.

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. We were very blessed to have his help and support during such a difficult time.

I have always believed that this firm provides excellent representation to its clients. After I was rear ended awhile ago I had the opportunity to find out for myself if my belief was justified. I am pleased to report that I was right. The representation provided was excellent. Richard and his paralegal, Donna Hughes could not have done more. They promptly began working the case, set realistic goals, worked hard to achieve them and met their targets. Just as importantly, they were sympathetic to my needs and responded to all of my requests and questions promptly. I was kept informed of what was occurring at all times.
Thank you Richard and Donna

Richard Plattner is an amazing lawyer! I never had to go thru a lawsuit before and he made me very comfortable and explained everything in detail about the process I was going thru. His professionalism, expertise and knowledge throughout the entire settlement process made me feel at ease with everything. Also the communication was great! I was always informed with updates either thru email or a phone call and I knew I could contact at anytime if I questions or concerns. Although we are in different states, I still got to meet Richard thru a skype meeting and I knew from that first conversation that I would be in good hands. Thank you for everything you have done for me!

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!

The most knowledgeable and sensitive legal organization one could imagine. The level of professionalism and expertise displayed by Plattner Verderame throughout the entirety of my settlement process was absolutely beyond compare. Not only was all communication and paperwork prompt, but each time I reached out to or met with my Attorney I was met with warmth and sensitivity, I instantly felt I was not only in good hands, but could trust the legal capabilities of everyone that facilitated my case at Plattner Verderame.

I was referred to Nick Verderame by a friend after an auto accident. 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.

As a fellow attorney in the valley, I cannot speak highly enough of Plattner Verderame. I handle criminal cases, so anytime I come across a personal injury case I immediately tell that person to contact Plattner Verderame. Nick Verderame has consulted on a few cases, and his legal knowledge is second to none. This firm doesn't just care about your case, it cares about you as a person as well.

I was referred to Nick Verderame by another attorney with whom I had worked on a separate legal matter and was pleasantly surprised by how genuine and forthright Mr. Verderame was. Mr. Verderame took the time to listen to my initial query and call me back to discuss in greater detail. 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. Although my current situation did not warrant hiring Mr. Verderame at this time, given my positive experience and his prompt, professional responses, I would definitely work with him in the future should a need arise!
