I highly recommend Mehr Fairbanks Trial Lawyers. They were more than willing to take on my case during the most difficult time of my life. Bartley Hagerman and his assistant Katelynn have went above and beyond for my family. Always kept me informed on my case status or any questions I had. Bartley is the most genuine person who cares about his clients. There’s been times he spent away from his own family to work with me around my own work schedule, that’s dedication. I thank you for taking on my case and fighting hard for my daughter and I. There is not enough words that can express how much I appreciate you both. Thank you and God Bless you both.

Since having taken my family’s case, Mehr Fairbanks Trial Lawyers has been astounding in our representation. I have nothing but good things to say. Each person we have dealt with has been professional in every sense, but also show genuine concern with each and every individual. They’ve made every attempt to address each person’s concern, and they are consistent in updating us on the progression of the case. In regard to representation, they won a record settlement for us, have advised us on each and every step through the appeal process, and have guided us through an exceptionally difficult process. To this day are expending resources on our behalf without reservation or hesitation. They follow through on what they say they’ll do. I look forward to the final resolution of our case, and I’m confident in it’s near conclusion. You couldn’t do better than this firm.

The Hayden Law Firm highly recommended Elizabeth Thornsbury with Mehr Fairbanks Trial Lawyers to handle my long term disability case. Mr. Hayden immediately contacted her on the phone and gave her the specifics. My brother-in-law made a trip to Lexington before the week was out to meet Elizabeth in person. From that time on, I have NEVER had any regrets. She is straight-forward, thorough, makes you comfortable when answering questions, is patient and does not rush you in the meeting. She stays in touch when any issues arise, and is available whenever I need her. Her professionalism speaks for itself. She definitely rates five stars from me.

– E. L.

Bartley Hagerman and the entire firm are not only outstanding attorneys but INCREDIBLY PROFESSIONAL & ETHICAL!! I had been rejected on my first Judge hearing for disability, despite being almost totally disabled. Neurological conditions are notoriously hard in disability hearings. Bartley and Mehr Fairbanks Trial Lawyers not only came through, they were friendly and hospitable without being patronizing or fake. I was beyond happy to find a law firm that was not the one that is on TV and Radio 24/7. The one with two names, that is “For The…..”. Disability settlements are limited to certain cap, a person through work was represented by the two name firm and signed away 60% of their settlement. That is highly unethical, bordering on illegal. Unethical behavior like that would never come up at Mehr Fairbanks Trial Lawyers. Thanks for the hard work Bartley.

– M. W.

Mehr Fairbanks Trial Lawyers is a great firm with excellent attorneys and a friendly staff. Bartley Hagerman is a workhorse. He handled my case with efficiency, professionalism, and tact. If you are looking for a local law office and an adept attorney who will treat you with courtesy and respect, Bartley Hagerman at Mehr Fairbanks Trial Lawyers will do just that!

– L. R.

Mehr Fairbanks…particularly Bartley Hagerman, was recommended to me by a former colleague. My former colleague also happened to be one of my closest friends and we shared nearly the same situation. My friend was thoroughly impressed by how hardworking, upfront, honest and ethical Mr. Hagerman was with him that he had no reservations at all with sharing his contact info for with me. I found Bartley to be everything my friend said he was…and more. I was able to immediately speak with Bartley on the phone and set up a consultation within just a few days. He took my case and made me feel like I was the most important client he had. He got right to work on my situation…and to make a long story short, he has been highly successful in helping me and my family. I currently still have Bartley and Mehr Fairbanks on retainer and he stays on top of any changes with my ongoing situation. Bartley is extremely professional yet personable. ALL correspondence from Bartley begins with wanting to know how my family is doing. On numerous occasions I have received emails or calls from him just to say “Hi” and to see how we’re doing. I have a daughter in law school and is always interested in her progress and provides encouragement for her. All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend Bartley Hagerman (Mehr Fairbanks)…he has been more than outstandingly helpful for my situation and case. I feel like Bartley is a close friend and I can pick up the phone at anytime…give him a call and get to talk to him…or within a very reasonable time depending what he has going on. I wish I could give this firm more than 5 stars!

I don’t think anyone looks forward to an injury or something that requires enlisting the help of a good trial lawyer, but in the event it ever happens to me again or to anyone else I know, I will STRONGLY recommend Mehr Fairbanks Trial Lawyers. Austin is a straight shooter, kind and very good at what he does. He introduced me to Bartley Hagerman who has similar traits and I could tell right away we were in good hands. Bartley didn’t just handle my case, he became involved, concerned and very thoroughly prepared us to get a good outcome. He is an “above and beyond” kind of attorney, with great skill sets and intuition, especially at negotiating and trial preparation. Someone you are glad is on your side.

– M. U.

I was at my worst when I found this group of attorneys. The insurance company was continually denying my case and because my health was going from bad to worse I really needed help. I was represented by attorney Bartley Hagerman with this group. Bartley is a caring, experienced and knowledgeable gentleman and made me feel at ease after our first visit. He worked tirelessly to represent me and was always available to me anytime I had questions or concerns about my case. I have recommended Bartley to close friends and will continue to recommend him to anyone that needs a strong advocate that will work hard for you to get your long term disability that you rightly deserve.

– L. N.

As a 22 year old, I had no idea what to do after a car knocked me off of my bike and broke two bones in my leg. Luckily, a colleague put me in contact with Phil and he began work immediately. He was nothing but patient and kind to my family and I. He made a very stressful and difficult situation into a learning experience. I was updated nearly weekly on the process and it took exactly a year to have my case finalized and settled. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust… look no further.

– M. K.

– J. V.

Excellent law firm to work with. Would highly recommend to any individual looking for legal advice.

– Roy

When the law firm of Mehr Fairbanks Trial Lawyers, mainly Austin and Phil, took over our case, it had already been represented by several different attorneys, and they all had dropped us, and we just got pushed to the side. Since Austin and Phil have taken over our case, we have had a complete turnaround. They have worked diligently on our case, getting us a jury trial, in which we won a very large settlement. Of course, the other side appealed the judgment, but they are still working for us just as hard. Never faltering in their confidence in winning for us. That earned them our deepest trust and respect for them, becoming a part of our family. Resting assured, my family will always ask for their representation in the future if needed. I recommend their services with the highest of trust and respect.

I suffered a fall in a hotel in Lexington and Mehr Fairbanks Trial Lawyers took my case. My attorney , Mr. Bartley Hagerman, was my advocate on all issues. He responded to my questions and requests in a prompt and competent manner, even following up on a few issues after the settlement was complete. He and his firm did a wonderful job for me. I would recommend him as an excellent personal injury attorney.

Thanks, Julia Small

My experience with Mehr Fairbanks Trial Lawyers was excellent. My case seemed overwhelming and nearly hopeless until I hired this firm. Bartley Hagerman was courteous and professional while showing a level of compassion for my situation that made me feel like I finally had an ally.

I am VERY happy that I chose Mehr Fairbanks Firm. Several years ago I needed some help on a case and again recently returned needing help from them, I was delighted to be represented by Bartley Haggerman. I have always had confidence.knowing that I am being represented well and I’m in good hands with this strong team. I highly recommend Mehr Fairbanks to anyone looking for a GOOD plaintiff’s lawyer to fight for them! They care about people and want to help.

I’ve had nothing but positive, professional dealings with Phil and Bartley regarding several matters. I was a white collar worker and unfortunately became disabled. I was approved for disability through my employer disability provider but was denied by the government. I used the employer disability company provided firm when I was denied. The second time around Bartley worked with me and we were successful in being approved for benefits. We left the administrative hearing both feeling good about or presentation and was notified shortly after the hearing that I was approved. My feeling is that the difference between the first and second hearing is Bartleys’ work in providing appropriate documents, hard work and presentation at the hearing.

– S. J.

I am always cautious to recommend people to individuals I know. However, through my personal experience with their office and professionally I highly recommend their services.

Reach out to them and I would expect your experience to be the same as mine.

If it weren’t for Bartley Hagerman with Mehr Fairbanks Trial Lawyers I believe I never would have gotten my long term disability. I was getting nowhere on my own and knew I needed legal assistance.
