Sinds april 2019 hebben wij een top ervaring gehad met mw. Liane Foe, als letselschade advocaat. Liane is heel zakelijk, professioneel en persoonlijk. Echt zeker een aanrader om hulp van Liane in te schakelen. Nu maart 2021 wordt de zaak afgerond. Ik heb een uiterst prettige ervaring de afgelopen jaren met mw de Foe gehad. Bedankt voor de goeie steun. Met vriendelijk groet, Jelena en Ysbrand

Letselschade advocaat Amsterdam, heeft mij persoonlijk vanaf het begin van mijn auto-ongeluk tot het eind van de letselschadezaak uitstekend goed geholpen. Ik heb hierdoor de zaak zo goed mogelijk kunnen meemaken. En heb mijn letsel (Whiplash en rugklachten) zo goed mogelijk kunnen behandelen.

Liane is geweldig! Ze is ontzettend vriendelijk en begripvol, en het is haast een kunst hoe goed zij is in het duidelijk uitleggen van complexe zaken en duidelijk verwachtingspatronen communiceren. Zij heeft mij drie jaar lang bij gestaan in een letselschadezaak en ik kan niet blijer zijn met de uitkomst! Ik raad Liane van harte aan!

Ik heb twee keer in mijn leven een letselschade advocaat gehad. Eén keer voor mezelf en één keer voor mijn dochter. Wat er in mijn zaak ontbrak, was ruim aanwezig toen we voor een aanrijding bij mijn dochter, Liane kregen als advocaat. Wat mijn advocaat niet had, had Liane in ruime mate: warmte, begrip en empathie. In zaken zoals deze zijn die eigenschappen super belangrijk, maar het is geen vanzelfsprekendheid. We zullen Liane hier altijd dankbaar voor blijven.

Nadat ik door een taxi werd geschept (fiets total loss, kleding beschadigd en schouder ontzet), begon een akelige strijd om het verhalen van de schade: de taxicentrale wilde het afkopen met een paar tientjes terwijl de verzekeringsmaatschappij van álles bonnetjes wilde zien (en bovendien niets kon doen zonder schuldbekentenis van de taxicentrale).Een advocaat leek me een grote stap, maar een oriënterend gesprek met mevrouw Liane Foe maakte aan die twijfel een eind.Meteen nadat ik haar mijn gegevens had gestuurd, werd er orde op zaken gesteld. Zij heeft toegang tot de gegevens van de RDW, en had daarmee direct contact met de verzekeraar zelf (en niet met de tussenpersoon die ik sprak). Vervolgens bekende de taxicentrale schuld en leverde hun deel van het schadeformulier in.Omdat zij de weg kent en de nodige ervaring heeft, was niet meer het starre schadeformulier leidend, maar kon er in één keer doorgepakt worden.En tot mijn verbazing ging het meteen over smartengeld; iets wat je zelf niet op een schadeformulier kunt invullen.Bovendien werden de advocaatkosten geheel door de verzekeringsmaatschappij vergoed, dus ik ben érg blij dat ik via de LSA (Vereniging van Letselschade Advocaten) bij mevrouw Liane Foe terechtkwam.
