“Brendan has great contacts and extensive networking in ...”
Brendan was very thorough. His attitude and knowledge about the case was incredibly helpful and I can't thank him enough. Brendan has great contacts and extensive networking in the Topeka area. I recommend Brendan Lykins to anyone who needs a lawyer for injury or accidents.

Former Client
“He does not give up when it comes to his clients.”
We hired Ron Pope to help us sue my mother-in-laws Doctor, who performed an Colonoscopy on her, during the procedure he poked a hole in her Colon. Ron and his law firm proved to us that Lawyers really do care about their clients. They took on a case that most Lawyers would turn down due to her age, 85. They were in constant contact with us. If we had questions they were there to answer any of them. Ron was like a bull dog when it came to the deposition of the Doctor, he got the truth out of him, whether the Doctor wanted to admit it or not. He does not give up when it comes to his clients. We were pleased to have hired Ron. I would recommend him to anyone.

We Have The Answers You're Looking For

Who will be held accountable for my accident?
Every case is different and to give a ballpark value could actually be counterproductive. Every case must be carefully assessed: there are many working parts in a personal injury matter and we would be happy to determine how those working parts can increase or diminish the potential value of your claim. Things like negligence, liability, injury severity, property damage, and more can all be relevant factors when determining the potential value.
What is liability and what does it prove?
In order to pursue a claim under your State’s personal injury laws, you will most likely need to prove “liability.” Liability simply refers to the at-fault party involved in the accident. Once a liable party has been identified, it will be responsible for covering the damages that resulted from the accident. Determining liability, however, can be a complex process and will often hinge on proving “negligence.”
What is negligence and what does it prove?
In addition to identifying the at-fault party, you will also need to be able to prove “negligence.” In the most general sense, negligence refers to whether or not a person has acted outside of the scope of reasonable care to prevent injury or harm to another person. Speak with an attorney to determine what evidence is needed to prove that the party’s negligence directly resulted in the injury or property damage.
How much is my case worth?
