Mr. Poolson was as professional as they come. We had a situation where a family member had an accident and their insurance company sent a letter questioning whether or not the incident was merely an accident or the responsibility of a third party. In other words, did they have to pay, or did my family member have to go to the third party for coverage. Danny carefully listened to the situation, asked relevant questions to ascertain the facts that mattered, and provided extremely useful guidance. He explained everything in easy to understand terms without all the legalese that often over-complicates things. With his advice we were able to quickly and easily resolve the matter with the insurance company – without the need to go to court or engage in any prolonged negotiation with them or a third party. I would not hesitate to use his services again should the need arise.
