We were advised to seek legal help and we signed up with other lawyers. As this procedure was quite foreign to me, I was unaware of what standard protocol was and what I should have expected. Unfortunately, my son walked away with only 20% of his claim, whilst the other lawyers (not Stacks Goudkamp) kept the other 80%. With all the time and heartache that we went through, it was a disappointing result to say the least.
We did not sign off my daughter with them. She sustained the worst injuries and will suffer with them for the rest of her life. With the medications and financial assistance she will now require forever, we didn’t feel the measly 20% of any claim was enough..
Luckily, through word of mouth, we were Tom Goudkamp was highly recommended to us.
We were already well over $100,000 in fees with the other lawyers. Karina Goodall was able to reassure us that she would settle and we would not have to pay anything until after the hearing and settlement with her.
Karina met with me many times, including sometimes at a coffee shop near my home, which, as a time-poor working mother of four, I was incredibly grateful for.
Karina was able to be professional at all times as well as compassionate, caring, and able to explain things to my daughter so she was able to understand what was happening.
From the time of this accident to the final settlement was about nine years. It was unfortunate my other two children who were involved in the crash didn’t benefit from Karina’s expertise and compassion, but we’re glad at least my daughter was.
The outcome was amazing and so much more than we would have expected from xx and xxx. We could never have achieved this without Karina. From my experience across two other law firms, I could not recommend Tom Goudkamp and Karina Goudall from Stacks Goudkamp highly enough.
