Aaron Von Flatern and Mark Farris are outstanding lawyers who represented me successfully through a difficult situation. As their client, I always felt that I received expert and well reasoned advice. My calls and emails were returned within just a few hours (sometimes minutes) and they never seemed too busy to answer questions. They are principled lawyers who respect their clients and respect the law and I recommend them without hesitation.

Josh and his team are amazing! My car was totaled by a distracted driver and my mom and I had serious injuries. I had no idea what to do and a friend referred me to Josh. Trusting him with our case was one of the best decisions. He took care of us immediately and throughout the process he always responded in a timely manner. His ethics are unquestionable! We are extremely satisfied with the outcome! Very thankful and blessed to have cross paths with Josh! I will definitely recommend FVF Law to anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer!!

Josh Fogelman changed my whole view of attorneys as lying sharks. I contacted Josh from North Carolina when I was on vacation. A few nights earlier a drunk driver rear ended the truck behind me while we were stopped at a red light. Needless to say, my car was totalled. Gratefully, neither myself nor my 2 daughters were injured. What really impressed me the most about the relationship with Josh was that he never pressured me to make any decision. He was very thorough with the options before me, even permitted me to think about the options before making a decision. I am not a money hungry person, I wasn't out to make any more than collecting for my losses. Another thing that I appreciated about his service was the ease I had in contacting him. Not once did I have to wait for more than a day for him to return my messages. Lastly, perhaps the coolest thing was that he and I only met face to face once, and this conversation was more about generalities than the case. Since there were no injuries, Josh didn't even flinch that the reward was going to be significantly less than normal injury cases, yet, Josh maintained his professional composure throughout the entire case. If you are looking for an honorable attorney to handle your case, look no more

Mark Farris is great. He sat down with my wife and I regarding a personal injury case caused by another driver in an auto accident. He said he would read through several documents and research to let us know if he could help, and wouldn't charge us if he couldn't. Good news for us was he was a tremendous help with our case in dealing with multiple insurance carriers, medical providers, and negotiations. He was also able to increase our net settlement amount by almost double. I would recommend Mark to anyone that is looking for service oriented attorney with his clients best interest in mind.

I can't reach the surface of how FVF Law is amazing! From the admin asst. at the front desk to the managing partner, you aren't going to find a more kind and dedicated group of personal injury attorneys. Some firms boast client satisfaction as their number one priority, and then you find out the opposite after you hire them. Not FVF! They truly care about their clients. I was rear-ended by an underinsured motorist which resulted in me having neck surgery. This firm helped me navigate through all of the conservative treatment before going under the knife. They have a set of medical professionals that are second-to-none. My case was settled with the at-fault driver's insurance company and my insurance company without the need to file a lawsuit, which netted more money in my pocket. In the end, I received a substantial amount that was above and beyond what I expected throughout the process. Put their phone number in your cell phones. Call them immediately, even if you are still on the scene of the accident. You will not be disappointed! I am off to buy a pool with cash, thanks to FVF!!!

Josh and Matt handled my case and I have to say they did an absolute superb job. They gave me peace of mind by handling the case in its entirety, recommending the best medical team and taking care of absolutely everything. Recommend them to any person that needs injury lawyers. The case was handled in a very professional way and in a very time efficient way. They were always available to answer any questions and to solve them in a brief time. Quality, honesty and efficiency is what you will find by working with Josh's team. Will be forever grateful.

I initially thought I would wait until our case was resolved to write a full review. Then I thought about others out there that may be searching for the right firm to help them get through what we are currently going through. I wanted others to know that if they are searching for the right attorney, that their search is over! I cannot say enough great things about FVF Law. I have personally worked with both Shawn and Josh and I can't tell you in words how amazing these two have been! Shawn has literally been there with me every step of the way. She has been a voice of calm and empathy. Being injured in an accident is a nightmare, but because of the amazing attorneys at FVF I have never felt alone through this process. I truly appreciate all you have done and are continuing to do for my husband and I. Thank you!

In May 2017, I was on my way to an interview and at a red light when a commercial septic tank plowed into my passenger side. I immediately had pain but had no health insurance at the time. I researched diligently law firms in the Austin area and found FVF. I called them and explained my situation. I was immediately assisted. The entire process was made easy by the amazing lawyers and staff at FVF law firm. I was seen by a doctor quickly. My case was handled professionally and efficiently. Whenever I had any concern, my lawyer Mark immediately put me at ease with his quick answers and solutions. My case was settled to my immense satisfaction. If you want to feel like part of the family and not just another client, choose FVF. You will not be disappointed. Lisette

I cannot say enough nice things about this firm. Everyone I encountered was extremely nice and helpful. Josh walked be through every step and made sure I didn't have any questions. They made a difficult time manageable. I will definitely be recommending them!

I chose FVF (Fogelman VonFlatern) law firm based upon reviews, so I’m leaving these words to assure you it was a good decision. You can expect any attorney to work on your behalf; they earn a share of your settlement and that’s incentive. But at FVF I was treated with sincere interest by everyone in the office. They patiently explained in detail, every step along the way, and they also gave me their best recommendations. I was fully briefed for the depositions and it eliminated my nervousness. Matt Breeland was a strong negotiator; I received the maximum amount we could have been awarded. It’s a long process but they stayed in touch and kept me involved. He earned his share and I’d feel comfortable with their advice in any legal situation.

Josh, Aaron, Greg and their whole team are great! FVF is like getting a dream team for a trial. They were very informative on what was going on and what they were hoping to get with my case. In the end everything they predicted in their set up happened flawlessly. Great team to work with and they definitely go the extra mile. They even came to visit me before surgery to make sure I was golden! Hope I’m never in that spot again but FVF is my first call if I am.

Shawn at FVF law firm is amazing. She kept me up to date and informed every step of the way for my claim. She always made sure that I understood what was going on and thoroughly explaind all of my options. If you ever are in an accident do not hesitate to call they will do you right every step of the way.

FVF Law took the time to guide me through the entire process with amazing, friendly, and professional service. Their first priority was to make sure that I received the best medical attention possible. Then, went to bat for me through the litigation process. Mark took care of everything for me! All I did was just show up. The whole process was stress free. And, my settlement was more than expected. If you need an attorney who is knowledgeable, caring, and honest then, Mark should be the person to contact.

Aaron and his team are very professional and friendly, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer. Aaron handled every aspect of my case efficiently. I was severely injured and unable to walk for several months, and he made the process as smooth as possible. Aaron went above and beyond by coming to see me in the hospital and helping out with our rent as I was unable to work. FVF Law was able to achieve the maximum amount for our settlement, including negotiating with health insurance and medical providers and even taking less for himself than initially agreed upon. While being injured and dealing with many medical bills is certainly less than pleasant, my experiences with Aaron and his team were always positive.

My own insurance company paid a lot of money trying not to pay my claim but in the end Aaron and Matt forced their hand. FVL always kept my up to date and they took care of 2 years worth of medical bills as the case was being settled. I learned a lot from the experience of dealing with insurance companies, the greatest of which is the importance of a great lawyer.

Josh and his team are awesome! They helped me with a car accident awhile back and were so helpful throughout everything. At the time, I had never needed an attorney before, and I was hesitant in who to contact. I reached out to multiple law firms and Josh was the ONLY ONE who reached back out to me the same day I called. He answered every question and concern I had along the way and removed all of the stress and anxiety I had. Since then he has been my “go to” whenever I need legal advice and he always points me in the right direction.I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone needing help with a car accident of any kind. Thank you, Josh!

Unsolicited and Unpaid Review!!!!!!!! FVF Law firm are good people that do what is right and stay true to their words. If you need help, think you might need help, or are lost these are the people to contact!There is a reason they don't advertise on TV, its not a volume or numbers game. They are that good and want to provide the best service possible. I encourage you to stop looking and know Aaron Von Flatern and his team will do right by you and your family. How often do you find a lawyer that cares about you? I found my answer here and believed in the reviews. I had never used an attorney before, was skeptical of the process, and I am the type of person that usually goes at it on my own. The advice they provided was invaluable.

While visiting Austin from out of state, I was involved in an auto accident that caused injuries to two passengers (my mother and my wife) in the rental car that I was driving. Josh Fogelman, Matt Breeland and the entire staff at FVF Law guided us through the complicated process, keeping us involved and informed throughout (despite the challenges caused by being geographically separated). Over the nearly three years of engagement (welcome to TX law), I found the entire FVF Law team to be professional, compassionate, highly skilled and personable (my wife wants to “Friend” them on Facebook!).From my initial call (questions answered, options and possible/likely outcomes explained), through failed mediation (opposing counsel was unprepared), to successful trial verdict (and beyond) – these guys were amazing.After winning our case in court (two years after the accident), Josh and Matt continued to work to ensure the best possible outcome for us. They successfully defended appeals and negotiated with all involved parties to maximize our net proceeds.While I hope that I never again need a lawyer in Texas (or anywhere else, for that matter), if I do, I’m going directly to FVF Law.-----Several times, over the course of the years that we were engaged with the folks at FVF Law, I thought of writing a review (would have been glowing throughout), but I decided to wait until all was said and done. This review of FVF Law remains GLOWING at the end of our journey together!-----

I highly recommend Josh Fogelman, without reservation, qualification, or hesitation. Josh was the fourth attorney I visited after my car accident, and the first one who really listened to me. Rather than giving me the boilerplate lawyer speech, he asked a lot of questions and tried to figure out what was best for me in my situation. After my accident, I had several thousands of dollars worth of medical bills, and was super worn out from spending multiple hours per week on the phone with health and auto insurance companies. As soon as I hired Josh, he took care of everything! He made the process INCREDIBLY easy, and was extremely personable and respectful along the way. He also thought of a lot of tricks that I would not have known about that ended up giving me a significantly bigger settlement than I would have been able to get on my own. Josh is honest, smart, and excellent at his job. I always say my biggest regret is not hiring him sooner!

Despite the circumstances that caused me to need their help, FVF Law was a great experience. Josh was always attentive and never rushed. Communications between client (me) and staff was excellent. The associated attorneys are experienced and easy to talk with. I had an outcome I was very satisfied with.I highly recommend this law office!

Aaron and his team are some of the most standup folks I know. They helped my wife and I so much get through a very tough year due to a nasty car crash when we were hit by a drunk. I highly recommend giving them a call if you need help.

FVF Law Firm handled my case with the utmost integrity , honesty and professionalism. Josh Fogelman and Aaron Von Flatern, founding partners in this firm, personally represented me in my case. I called FVF when I thought I was not being treated fairly or respectfully by the insurance company of the person that hit me. FVF treated me fairly and respectfully. They always had my best interest in mind through out this whole process. Josh Fogelman was my representing counsel from the beginning. He was very quick to respond either in text , email or phone to any questions I had regarding my case. I was t- boned by a driver that ran a red light. I had neck , back injuries and I had a broken bone in my ankle. I had to have two surgeries, one was a disc replacement in my neck as well as an ankle surgery to repair the chipped bone. Both surgeries required extensive physical therapy. With FVF representing me I had peace of mind that they would fight for me and get my medical costs and future medical costs paid by the insurance company of the opposing counsel- which they did! FVF exceded all my expectations and more for the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend FVF Law firm to anyone that is in this situation.

This truly is my pleasure to leave nothing less that 100% praise and positive review of FVF Law!! I was so well taken care of from the first call to the office until the end and everuthing in between. They absolutely go above and beyond as attorneys and staff and educate you on the process, your options and your outcomes. I was always informed and updated and even got check up calls just to see if all was well. The patience and understanding of the entire staff was top notch and I couldn't have ever imagined being so pleased at the outcome of a situation that was so out of my control but they never let me feel that way. You must use FVF law (Matt and Josh) if you are searching for quality and compassion. These guys do it right!! I'll forever be grateful to them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart❤

We are ever so grateful to have worked with the FVF Law Firm (specifically Matt Breeland & Josh Fogelman) to help us resolve a personal injury case. The case was resolved to our great satisfaction and maybe more importantly, we were touched by the level of care, compassion and grace we received while they guided us through a very foreign process. Matt and Josh were attentive to our needs, responsive to our questions, and not once did we feel that we were “just another client”. I hope we won’t ever again require their excellent services, but if we do, we won’t hesitate to make FVF our first and only call.

I am extremely happy with the services provided by Aaron Von Flatern. After a very traumatic collision with a tractor trailer, he made sure my daughter received the medical care she needed. He worked with the insurance companies and the medical care providers. I didn't need to worry about anything. He took care of it. I would strongly recommend Aaron to anyone looking for an excellent attorney. He went above and beyond to ensure we got what we needed.

Elizabeth Rankin

Josh, Matt, and the team where nothing but world-class. This was my first case so they guided me through the entire process with expert advice. It felt like they really cared about me. Not just my case but me recovering as a person. Response time was excellent and their knowledge inspired a lot of confidence throughout the entire process.
