I hired Mr. Diederich to help deal with an appeal process for a denied medical waiver to get into military service. Given Mr. Diederich's previous experience in military law, he knew the best way to approach the appeal process. Through Mr. Diederich's expertise and professionalism, we were able to get the medical denial reversed. I am currently enrolled in an ROTC program and on the path to military service. I am almost certain that this decision would not have been reversed had we not sought out Mr. Diederich's help. I'd also mention that he was more than happy to speak about the details of my case outside regular business hours, and always promptly responded to any questions I had with logical and straightforward advice. I would highly recommend Mr. Diederich's services.

I’m not one for writing reviews, although I do read them for certain purchases and I do value the “Review System” as I try to be an informed consumer. That’s why I’m taking the time to write this Review today.
Heather Nappi was my Workers Comp Lawyer and from Day 1 she was always Professional in our interactions. She is Diligent and Meticulous with all the paperwork and forms ensuring that everything was filled out correctly and ahead of schedule for each court date!!
One of the many things I liked about Heather is that she was always available to answer my questions and if there was a time that she couldn’t be available, she would make it her business to return my call within a timely manner.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Heather Nappi and to have her as an Advocate who was Honest and Transparent with me through the process every step of the way!!
I hope to never be involved with a Workers Comp Case again for the rest of my career… But if it did happen, I would be Happy to use The Law Office of Heather M. Nappi!!

Heather Nappi actually kept me from giving up and giving in to the constant “Independent Medical Exams” that the insurance company sent me to.
It’s very frustrating being at the mercy of a doctor “paid” by a large insurance company.
“The next sentence is sarcasm”….
I’m not saying that the doctor or insurance company didn’t have my best interest at heart.” 😉 (end sarcasm)
Let’s just say they made things difficult for me during a very tough period of my life.
A permanent disability changes everything in your life. Everything that you planned for in your future is altered. The insurance company’s job is to exhaust your resolve.
Heather’s aim was not only to protect me from their efforts to exhaust me but keep me from doubting myself. “If nothing else, I am famous for feeling like it’s all my fault”.
My mantra has always been?… “It must’ve been something that I caused”. I would convince myself that it was my fault.
Well!… I was not at fault... It was not my fault!!
My company’s safety record was deplorable. I am not the first employee injured permanently when working for this company. Unfortunately? I’m pretty sure that I won’t be the last.
Heather made sure that I was treated fairly and with the respect I certainly deserved. From the insurance company that represented my company and the company itself. The same company that’s negligence injured me in the first place.
I was ready to give up. Heather helped me to understand that the long game was in my best interest and in the end I prevailed. Actually, we prevailed! Thanks Heather for keeping me informed and in the game. Thanks for sticking with me until I was truly… treated fairly.
I will forever be in your debt.

I hired Phillips & Millman for an injury my son suffered. They far exceeded our expectations. They kept us informed and when it was time to discuss settlement Mr. Millman guided us into making the best decision for our son. We never felt pressure - just a confidence in his guidance. THANKS
