Listen to you

To us, you aren’t just a claim number. You’re a person in pain who is tired of fighting with an insurance adjuster and scared for their future. Our attorneys will listen carefully to your story, patiently answer all your questions, and explain the process to you every step of the way.

Fight for you

The injustice you feel when an insurance company denies you payment or pressures you to settle? We feel it too. That’s why we fight with insurance companies who aren’t treating our clients fairly. And we don’t stop until we get you the treatment you need and the compensation you deserve.

Get you fair treatment

You may be entitled to much more than you think. That’s why you should let us help. We know the system inside and out. And we will make sure that you can get fair treatment and compensation.

"They got me more money than I could have ever imagined."

When the insurance company stopped my payment for three weeks, I knew I needed help. I had no money. They denied my benefits and hung up on me. Life has been less stressful because of your help. BFS came highly recommended by another lawyer, and after I hired them, my life became less stressful. They got me more money than I could have ever imagined. I didn’t even think I would ever come close to this number.

KT, store clerk
Bennington, Vermont
"Knowledgeable, professional, extremely competent, understanding, and patient."

I had been injured while at work and suffered several life-changing injuries. I had a complicated case and a difficult and stubborn opposing counsel. My attorney was knowledgeable, professional, extremely competent, understanding, and very patient with me. He guided me through many pitfalls to obtain fair compensation for my injuries. I will be forever grateful for his efforts.

"They care more about the health of their clients than money."

If you want good results and the highest payout possible, BFS is the place to go! They aren’t only good lawyers but your friends. My money that is behind, or any doctor that can’t get me in, they call and make it all happen right away. Many lawyers I've met just think about getting money; that's not BFS. They care more about the health of their clients than money.

EN, store clerk
Barre, Vermont
"BFS got my medical expenses and procedures approved."

Took all the pressure off me in dealing with a workers’ compensation accident. They got approval for my much needed medical expenses and procedures that I kept getting turned down for. Can't thank them enough.

JB, maintenance worker
Bennington, Vermont
"Hiring BFS took a lot of the unnecessary stress away."

It was a work injury that I thought I could handle on my own. And then I got a letter from the insurance company, from their lawyer. I knew I wasn't gonna be able to go up against them by myself. Hiring BFS took a lot of the unnecessary stress away. They got me a lot of medical care and a very reasonable settlement.

EP, automotive technician
Greensboro, Vermont
"We would not have been able to do it by ourselves."

Hiring BFS gave me peace of mind. It was much easier having them deal with all the crap like late checks and no checks, and prescriptions not being approved on time. With BFS, we had someone who would really get after them and someone who knew what we were supposed to do. It was much easier than if we had been doing it ourselves. We would not have been able to do it by ourselves. BFS got us a settlement, and now we have some financial stability.

Our Happy Clients

"I’d hire BFS all over again. But I’d do it sooner and call them the day after I got hurt. They did 101%."
"BFS is handling two of my claims, and I really appreciate it. Trust them. Because they do a great job."
"Ever since l started working with BFS, the stress has gone down and I received better pay. I'm back to being myself."

No Charge Until We Win

We don’t charge anything up front. Nor do we bill hourly for our time. We work on a contingency basis and get paid based on how much money we win for you. So, technically, it’s not you who’ll be paying us but the insurance company.

Whatever happens, you’ll never end up owing us money. Your situation can’t get worse than before you hired us. But it can get much better if you decide to let us help.
