It's hard to put into words the impact that Becker Law - namely Kate Dunnington, Greg Bubalo and Joel Zimmerman - have had on my family and I. When you lose everything in the world that matters most to you, it is soul-crushing. I was in a state of sheer devastation and shock after all five of my family members were killed instantly at the hands of a drunk driver in 2019, in Lexington, KY. Kate, Greg and their team were a light where only darkness was left. They provided support and guidance when we didn't know what to do, or where to turn. From the onset of our case, they informed us of what to expect, shared that the road would not be easy, but also provided us with the reassurance that they would get us the justice we were seeking. When I shared with them that the closest thing to justice for us would be shutting down the business operations of those responsible for over-serving the wrong-way drunk driver who hit my family head-on, they didn't flinch. They never told us that no precedence existed for such a goal and, therefore, doing so was not possible. They understood our desire to file suit was not driven monetarily. We were seeking to put an end to what was clear and ongoing negligence by a particular business, and to send a message to other alcoholic establishments to re-examine their own business practices. From day one, it was clear that, while winnable, our fight would not be easy. The guidance we were given was to push the lawsuit into a corner of our lives and to let the firm manage the chaos. Our suit lasted over four and a half years. The battle was brutal. Kate, Greg, Joel, and the rest of the team took every blow, and blew right back. They fought for our family like they were fighting for their own, never relenting, never holding back, never accepting anything less than what we were demanding, because they understood that nothing we could demand could ever make any of it okay. And when it was all said and done, they did exactly as they had promised - something that had never been done before and what others said they could never do - they (we) shut down the business operations, indefinitely, of the bar that knowingly and negligently over-served the man who ultimately killed himself and all five of my family members. Nothing in the world can ever give to us what was lost in 2019, but Becker Law helped give us some peace and justice, which is everything in the face of the little we have left. It is an honor to know them and a privilege to have them in your corner.
