How We Work

We make your claim their priority!

We work the difficult, hard-to-collect cases right along with the easier cases. We do not charge hourly for our services, but instead, charge a contingency fee consistent with the industry and based on volume.

When litigation is necessary, we have a network of experienced attorneys in local jurisdictions ready to take files to court.  We work closely with them and report on their progress to you.

We have resources and many helpful links which may assist in your claim recovery efforts.   If you would like to learn more about the firm or would like to discuss the referral of cases, please contact us at (904) 278-7688.

We strive to recover lost profits from negligent third parties.

Led by attorney Kelsea Eckert, we have assisted businesses and individuals in collecting money since 1988.

Eckert & Associates, P.A. is a one-stop-shop for truckers’ downtime claims. We handle claims from start to finish.

We aggressively, but professionally, pursue our clients’ financial interests. Our focus is on a speedy resolution, and our staff is dedicated to working each claim through all avenues prior to litigation. Where litigation is necessary, we affiliate with a licensed attorney in the local jurisdiction to file suit. We monitor each file throughout the entire lawsuit. This maintains the continuity of files and gives you a one-stop-shop for your claims.
