Dear Mr. Linker:
Thank you for taking my case and getting me the settlement you did. To think that I might have forfeited that sum of money if you hadn't had your website out there, educating me on what I was entitled to for my injuries under the Defense Base Act. Certainly, neither my employer nor the insurance company ever told me I was entitled to anything more than coverage while I was off work. Actually, I wish I'd seen your site sooner, and then contacted you immediately. Because you already had a long established relationship with the individual best positioned to ensure insurance companies fulfill their obligations under this particular act, I'd have saved myself some major headaches--and probably received more compensation yet.
It was a pleasure to work with you. I had some concerns about signing on with an attorney I discovered through the Internet. But after talking to attorneys here and then in Dallas, Texas where I'd lived before going overseas, it seemed obvious you were the best choice due to your familiarity with the Defense Base Act and the players. The others--despite specializing in personal injury and workers compensation cases--knew nothing about how to handle people like me who fell under the Defense Base Act. And as it turned out, it was easy working by phone and e-mail.
I'm grateful you were out there and supported me, and are out there willing to support others, especially in these difficult times where so many are sustaining life-changing injuries while working on behalf of the military. I just hope they discover you, and sooner than later, too. May I share your name with a friend with the Red Cross who is currently in Iraq, just in case she comes across civilians there who could use your help?
Again, thanks.
Sincerely,
Diane
