Testimonials

After being injured in a serious motor vehicle accident, my life changed dramatically. The accident caused injuries to both of my eyes, resulting in a permanent decrease in my vision. During an already overwhelming time, I made the mistake of hiring a huge law firm I saw advertised everywhere on billboards. After a year of no progress and few updates, that attorney eventually told me my case had “no value” and that I should find a different attorney. That was incredibly discouraging.

Thankfully, I then contacted Grant Buchanan at Robert Wilson and Associates, and that decision made all the difference. From the very beginning, Grant took my case seriously and treated me with respect and compassion. He believed in my case when others did not.

Grant and his team were consistently communicative, thoughtful, and professional throughout the entire process. They kept me informed, answered my questions, and made sure I understood every step along the way. I always felt supported and confident that my case was in capable hands.

In the end, Grant successfully resolved my case for a six-figure settlement, obtaining the policy limits from two separate insurance carriers. This outcome was far beyond what I was initially told was possible, and it has made a meaningful difference for me as I move forward with my life.

I cannot recommend Robert Wilson and Associates and Attorney Grant Buchanan highly enough. If you are looking for an attorney who truly cares, listens, and fights for his clients—especially when the odds seem stacked against you—Grant Buchanan is the person you want on your side.

So happy I had Josh in my corner. He got me a fair settlement which I didn’t think was possible. I received more than expected. Worked hard and long for my case.

Josh takes his time in answering questions and is very patient with his clients. He knows the fear that people feel in unfamiliar situations and does his best to not only put you at ease, but explain things clearly and accurately.
