I have nothing but amazing things to say about Claggett and Sykes. I had the unfortunate luck of getting into two car accidents within two months of each other leaving me injured and under a lot of stress. After reaching out to Christian Augustin and his team, a lot of my stress was relieved knowing that I would receive care I needed and compensation to cover those medical expenses. Christian was wonderful from start to finish and was available to me for any questions or concerns I had along the way. Two other people I would like to recognize for their exceptional professionalism and kindness during this process are Karla and Kathleen. For over a year, they were in constant communication with me about any updates on my case making sure I knew exactly what was going on. They both answered any questions I had promptly and made sure that I was receiving the care I needed. I cannot thank Claggett and Sykes enough for taking care of all of the hard work in the background while I prioritized my health and really focused on trying to get better. If you ever find yourself injured from a car accident, I would absolutely recommend Claggett and Sykes.

I was in legal action with a Bus company in Las Vegas they were refusing claims I was hit by one of their buses on the side walk causing life changing injuries. After years of the accused company dismissing the allegations Claggett and Sykes assisted my original attorneys to bring this cases to a close. The fore said company would not take responsibility for their responsibility of the safety of patrons standing or walking on a public sidewalk.. Claggett and Sykes took control of this egregious in competent act and called them to the public front and their responsibility to protect the public safety of Las Vegas. These Attorneys of Claggett and Sykes Aka Rockstars of legal issues and other attorneys on staff brought this company to the right of their wrongs of this companies bad business practices. I can only say if you need great fantastic service to resolve legal issues to great resolve this is the right legal service to get. They treated us with great respect and compassion and corrected the rights of the wrongs. Thank you for great service and support getting myself and family to this great resolve . They always strive for the best., thank you for all you did.

Sincerely,

My case was handled with professionalism and follow through the entire process of my lawsuit. I cant rave enough about Brian Blankenship and the excellent job he did for my case. Furthermore, Mark took over the case and did an excellent job as well as Eunice and Karla. They kept me in the loop on every step of the way. Also, I was given updates via email and text messaging. They did an amazing job returning my calls when I left a message. Everyone of the team members had the recent updates on my case and I didnt have to explain myself over and over again. They settled my case in just under 14 months. I received the maximum amount of the claim!! This is the second time Brian Blankenship represented me and received full compensation on my behalf. Thank You Everyone you all ROCK!!!!

I had an amazing experience with Claggett & Sykes Trial Lawyers from start to finish. Mark, my attorney, really took care of everything and made sure I felt confident and informed throughout the entire process. You can tell he genuinely cares and knows his stuff.

Rory, my case manager, was super helpful and always quick to respond. Anytime I had a question or needed an update, he was on it.

Karla handled the disbursement side of things and made everything smooth and stress-free when it came to the settlement. Everything was clear and easy thanks to her.

And Kim, who helped with the property damage, was awesome. She made dealing with the car stuff so much easier and made sure I was treated fairly.

Couldnt have asked for a better team. If you ever need legal help, I definitely recommend Claggett & Sykes.

Our journey across the states from west to east was a wonderful trip until two days before home, when our truck and travel trailer had an accident on highway 80 in Nevada. We had to search for an attorney in NV to handle the case because we are residents of CA. I didnt know anyone in that state and had to look on the internet. That led me to someone who referred me to Claggett & Sykes. I feel SO fortunate to have found them. My attorney, Christian Augustin and his team were SO kind, compassionate, honest and best of all communicated every step of the journey, never leaving me wondering where I stand. In the end, they got me more money than I anticipated. I highly recommend this firm. They represent the best in service to the client.
