Testimonials
"Attorney Yanke’s professionalism, determination, expertise and dedication to our case surpassed any and all of my expectations. Whatever concerns or frustrations I felt during this lengthy process, he eased the concern and frustration by providing answers to my questions with a quick and accurate response. His broad knowledge and experience with automobile insurance and medical law was exceptional. The best service was his communication in keeping us informed on my case. Any questions that we had he answered in a language a layperson could understand. He had determination to fight [for] what he felt was a fair settlement and he didn’t back down." M.C.
"We worked as partners. [Attorney Yanke] kept me completely informed by phone or letter. He checked in on me periodically to make sure I was doing ok. My situation was not easy, [Attorney] Yanke put in the time and effort to help me. I will never forget it." J.J.
"Working with Brad Yanke was a wonderful experience. I was very nervous about going through the Workers Comp process of filing a dispute and Brad clearly explained it all, handled all of the requests from doctors and insurance companies which lead to a fair settlement I was happy with. I would highly recommend Brad and the entire team at Anderson O'Brien." S.W.
"Brad Yanke and his team were amazing to work with. He always took the time to explain terms and items to my wife and I so we would understand. Brad was always available and could not of asked for a better human being to help us through our case! I would recommend him anyone that needs an attorney to go to bat for them!" C.C.
I can't say enough good things about Atty. Brad Yanke! I was injured in a car accident and was referred to him and he made the whole process so easy for me. He was very communicative and easy to get ahold of and always answered any questions I had and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. My case was settled quickly and I'm very happy with the outcome! Obviously I hope I never get into another accident, but if I ever do, there is nobody else who I would want as my attorney. Thank you again for everything! S.C.
I contacted Anderson O’Brien with a workers' compensation issue and was helped by Dawn and Attorney Yanke, who cut through the red tape of my rejection by Sentry Insurance. Sentry stated that my claim for surgery to my left ankle was not covered because the statute of limitations had run out and I was left with over $20,000 in unpaid hospital bills. They, in turn, went to my insurer and determined that the unpaid hospital bills should have been covered by my health insurance. The way my problem was handled left me with admiration for the professionalism that was exhibited by Dawn and Attorney Yanke. I would highly recommend their law firm to anyone who has a problem such as I have encountered. They relieved the enormous pressure I felt having to come up with an excessive $20,000 out of my pocket to cover those bills. Peter Thrun
