DISCLAIMER: Please note that every case is
different based on a separate set of facts,
and the settlements and verdicts listed
here, while accurate, do not represent the
value of your case or the result we can
achieve for you. The following are
representative settlements and verdicts
pursued and won by Attorney David N.
Rechenberg of the law firm of Franks &
Rechenberg, P.C. It also does not mean that
we win all of our cases, we don't, but we
only get paid in the cases that we win. Our
clients have told us that one factor in
retaining our firm is the results we have
obtained for satisfied clients in the past.
You should also ask a perspective attorney
whether he or she has obtained significant
settlements or verdicts, but the decision to
hire an attorney for your case, should not
be made on that factor alone.
