What Clients Say About Working with Brian Reynolds
“My wife and I were on vacation from the UK, touring Colorado in a rental car. Early in our trip we were in a bad traffic accident which really shook us up and caused my wife to suffer pretty bad whiplash, as well as disrupting our holiday plans. The other driver was cited by the PD after multiple witnesses said he was entirely at fault.We got in touch with Brian Reynolds from Olson, who suggested meeting near Denver Airport on the day we were flying home; this was very convenient for us.Brian’s Paralegal, Jennifer Shelby, did a great job facilitating the meeting, overcoming problems we experienced making voice calls on our cellphones, and was a pleasure to talk to.At the no obligation meeting Brian listened attentively and empathetically to our story and was genuinely sorry for our experience whilst a long way from home. He explained the relevant law and insurance aspects clearly and gave us sound practical advice about our position and our options. At no time did we feel the clock was ticking, nor were we put under any pressure to sign up; in fact Brian suggested we take the Attorney-Client Agreement home to study properly and get legal advice from a UK lawyer, should we wish.We were impressed by Brian both as a person and as a professional. If our dealings with him and Jennifer reflect the standards Olson maintains across the practice, we would have no hesitation in recommending the firm to potential clients.”
