I wasn't sure on how to go about trying to get my life back after an automobile accident. A friend, Jay Wilkinson, recommended I speak with Richard Kennedy at the Law Offices of Richard R. Kennedy, APLC located in downtown Lafayette, LA. While some wouldn't consider my accident a big one, it derailed my life completely. I was self employed, as a business analyst, with clients all over the county (Dallas and Houston, Texas; Ft. Collins, Colorado; West Sacramento and San Francisco, California; New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Las Vegas, Nevada). My ability to travel was pertinent to accommodate my clients needs and attend conferences to meet potential clients as my business grew. The pain continued to increase, which made travel impossible, as well as, being distracting which effected my ability to focus. Pain medication and muscle relaxers to try and control the pain levels also affected my ability to concentrate and stay focused. I began missing critical deadlines, which was not acceptable as I was brought in to identify the bottlenecks in their process flow, to get them back on track. The pain and medications made it impossible to function. For the first time in my life I lost clients, and my reputation. After speaking with Mr. Kennedy, we formulated a plan to go forward...first, he had me evaluated to make sure the problems I was having were not the result of some other causes. Then, they investigated all aspects. Always keeping me informed along the way. They make sure you fully comprehend everything and take the time to answer questions and concerns. They are also protective of you, not just during depositions but the entire process. You feel like you are family and that they have your best interests in the forefront.
