I was blessed enough to have this firm covering my back for the past few years, and hopefully into the future. All praise be to God.
These were the hardest years of my life. I was being harmed by my employer, their leadership, their insurance and by medical staff. It was a very stressful time for me and my family. When I eventually decided it was time to get a legal professional, I entered a whole new world of stress. We had many questions. Who deals with these issues? Who do I spend my health and time talking with? Who has experience? Who can I trust? Attorneys request a lot of money, sure, but you have to make these decisions: Will I be able to get results on my own? Do I have the health or intelligence to do it on my own? Where do I learn procedure, rights and more? Do I have the capacity to understand all of these rules? The time to do so?
Even after speaking with a few attorneys I had hope for, I got the feeling they weren't the best for me for various reasons. And that is when I was eventually referred to this firm and attorney Ibrahim by a family member.
It was still a risk at that point, but I decided to go with him. I learned many things after a few years with Ibrahim. First, and most important, (without going into too much detail) I got the resolution I needed from my case. Ibrahim has good communication and you can expect answers when things are urgent. He will fight for you and make sure your needs are taken care of. He will listen to complaints and handle them. He will take time to explain things to you. He will be honest.
The legal system is a mess, and it won't be pretty and it's not designed to completely compensate victims. It will take a long time. You will be abused. You will sacrifice. You will cry. But succeeding and getting compensated for your rights, without losing too much in the process, is all that matters. And I pray for both my family members who referred me to Ibrahim and for Ibrahim himself almost everyday. What more can you ask for?

A great attorney! He has gone way above and beyond to make sure my needs were taken care of. If you're ever injured in an Indian Casino, this is the attorney to call. From the minute we met, he has fought to get my injury properly taken care of. From setting up a doctor's appointments to getting approval for all my needs, he ALWAYS has his client's best interests at the forefront.
Mr. Alex Laubach is aggressive in making sure his clients get the best of medical care and compensation.
This area of law is best suited for people like Alex that have compassion for their client's and understand what they have suffered and endured. Alex is simply the best, and far younger and better than the rest.

From start to finish, Alex guided me through the entire case. He's nice and respectful and understands how to simplify situations for someone that's not familiar with how cases work.
I appreciated how he was able to drive to my location to assist me with the case, really convenient.
Great experience, will highly recommend to anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer.

I hired Ms.Nguyen on December 16, 2009 to represent my W.C case. As soon as she was on board, she got in touch with the defense attorney and W.C insurance to have my TTD payment resumed at the correct rate. She did it within weeks, which the previous attorney failed to do. Under six years of Ms.Nguyen representation of my W.C case, she helped me get all the treatments I needed for my industrial injuries and processed all legal procedures properly. When I had questions, she was there to answer them. She did a wonderful job. As a result of her great work, I've gotten a good settlement; I'm very satisfied with her work. I would reccomend her to anyone.

Kevin did a great job walking me through everything. When I could not take the pain, he was there, when I called. He was always nice and kept me updated. I referred my son case to him but it’s been a disappointment on how it’s being handled (Kevin is not the attorney for my sons case).

I learned of Bridge Law through a local attorney I have been using for estate planning up here in Oregon. Lalit was quick to provide a free 15 minute consultation to clarify my needs and help me identify the best path forward for our estate planning needs. In this instance, he advised against retaining their services and recommended alternate avenues for me to explore. Would quite happily use them again for my estate planning needs.

We have found Mr. Monge to be extremely knowledgeable, organized, thorough and straightforward. He has spent a considerable amount of time explaining the process involved. His expertise, professionalism and diligence are above and beyond our previous attorney and we are very grateful for Mr. Monge's counsel. We recommend him highly.

Didn't have the best experience with Troy, at my first appointment with Troy he told me even though I'm clearly disabled my case was not strong enough for him to take on, however he told me there were steps I could take to make my case strong enough, I asked him what those steps were he told me. I began those steps, which took a couple months (all this time I could have been looking for other representation). While doing these steps I tried to keep in touch with his assistant Julian to know exactly what Mr Monge wanted, after getting all those things Mr Monge decides to tell me he still won't represent me. So he basically wasted a lot of my time, now I have less than 2 months to find representation, that's a really bad way of doing business in my opinion, it's so hard for me to go places and do things also, the things he asked me to do were not easy with my conditions, it's as if he doesn't even care.

Mr. Monge was personable and very well versed in social security disability. He was very patient and detailed in explaining the process and in review of my specific case details. He usually provided answers to my questions before I asked them. He took my phone calls and always got back to me if I missed him. He kept me updated throughout the process and called if something definitive came through along the way. Most importantly, we won!

I have not heard a word from Andrew in months . He told me that the office was closing, but would not tell me anything else about my case. So he is still holding on to my money and has not resolved my case as he promised. I have been left in the lurch and have been force to contact the bar.

Mr. Calderone handled a complicated personal injury case for me. I lived rather far away, and it was helpful that he agreed to work mostly by phone. He was always polite, supportive and informative. I especially liked how he explained his strategy as we progressed; his passion for his work was obvious. Andrew was able to negotiate a large settlement and even went to the trouble of contacting creditors/lien holders to see if they would settle for less than I owed.

What a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Do for You
A workers’ compensation lawyer specializes in helping employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job to receive the benefits they are entitled to under workers' compensation laws. These lawyers represent injured workers in claims for medical benefits, wage replacement, and other compensation related to workplace injuries or illnesses. They also help when claims are denied, benefits are delayed, or disputes arise with the employer or the insurance company.
Whether you've been injured on the job, developed an occupational illness, or are dealing with a denied workers' compensation claim, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you navigate the claims process and ensure you receive the full benefits you deserve.
When Should I Hire a Workers' Compensation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a workers' compensation lawyer in several situations, especially when complications arise during the claims process or when your rights as an injured worker are being challenged. Some common reasons to hire a workers' compensation lawyer include:
- Claim denial: If your workers' compensation claim has been denied, a lawyer can help you appeal the decision and represent you in hearings or litigation.
- Inadequate benefits: If the insurance company offers you a settlement that doesn’t cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf for a fair amount.
- Delay in receiving benefits: If your benefits are being delayed, a lawyer can help expedite the process to ensure you receive timely compensation.
- Permanent disability: If your injury leads to permanent disability (partial or total), a lawyer can help you navigate the more complex process of securing long-term benefits.
- Retaliation by employer: If your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers' compensation claim (e.g., by firing or demoting you), a lawyer can protect your rights and pursue legal action.
- Third-party liability: If a third party (e.g., a contractor or equipment manufacturer) was responsible for your injury, a lawyer can help you pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
- Pre-existing conditions: If your employer or the insurance company claims that your injury is related to a pre-existing condition, a lawyer can help you present evidence showing that the injury was work-related.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can prevent delays, avoid mistakes, and ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to under workers' compensation law.
What Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Do?
A workers' compensation lawyer provides a range of legal services to injured workers, ensuring that they receive the benefits they deserve. Their tasks often include:
- Filing claims: Helping injured workers prepare and file their workers' compensation claims to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
- Appealing denied claims: Representing workers whose claims have been denied and guiding them through the appeals process, including hearings and court appearances.
- Negotiating settlements: Negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
- Handling disputes: Resolving disputes between the injured worker, the employer, and the insurance company regarding the amount of compensation or the nature of the injury.
- Coordinating medical evidence: Gathering and presenting medical records, expert testimony, and other evidence to support the workers' compensation claim.
- Advocating for benefits: Ensuring that injured workers receive all the benefits they’re entitled to, including temporary or permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and medical treatment.
- Filing third-party lawsuits: In cases where a third party is responsible for the injury, a workers' compensation lawyer may also pursue a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional damages.
How Are Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Paid?
Workers' compensation lawyers typically charge a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if they successfully recover benefits for you. This fee is usually a percentage of the benefits awarded, and the specific percentage is often regulated by state law. Here's how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer's fee is typically between 15% and 25% of the total benefits awarded to you. You don’t have to pay any upfront legal fees, and the lawyer’s fee comes out of the settlement or benefit award.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t recover any benefits for you, you generally don’t have to pay for their services.
- State regulations on fees: Many states cap the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge, and some states require the fee to be approved by the workers' compensation board or judge.
Be sure to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a workers' compensation lawyer typically depends on the contingency fee arrangement, meaning the lawyer’s fee will be a percentage of the benefits you receive. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fees: Most workers' compensation lawyers charge between 15% and 25% of the total settlement or benefits awarded. For example, if you receive $50,000 in benefits, the lawyer’s fee would range from $7,500 to $12,500.
- State regulations: Some states limit the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge. In these cases, the fee is usually capped, often at 20% to 25%, depending on state law.
- Additional costs: Some lawyers may charge for out-of-pocket expenses, such as filing fees, medical records retrieval, and expert witness testimony, though these costs are typically deducted from the settlement after the case is won.
You should always ask for a clear explanation of fees and potential additional costs during your consultation so you understand the financial arrangement.
Top Questions to Ask a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
Before hiring a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with workers' compensation cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your injury is severe or the case involves disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and whether there are any additional costs you need to be aware of. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Find out if the lawyer has experience dealing with cases involving similar injuries or disputes, such as denied claims or permanent disability. -
How long will the process take?
While it’s difficult to predict an exact timeline, the lawyer should be able to provide a general estimate based on their experience with similar cases. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your claim.
How to Check the Credibility of a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable workers' compensation lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for workers' compensation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in workers' compensation law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and service.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience in workers' compensation cases.
- Check for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) or local bar association committees on workers' compensation can indicate the lawyer’s commitment to this area of law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Accident report or incident documentation: Bring any documentation related to your workplace injury or illness, including accident reports or notifications to your employer.
- Medical records: Provide copies of medical records, including treatment notes, doctor’s reports, and any information related to your injury or condition.
- Employer correspondence: Bring any letters, emails, or forms related to your claim from your employer or the workers' compensation insurance company.
- Wage and benefits information: Provide information on your wages, benefits, and any lost income due to the injury.
- List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the process, costs, and what to expect moving forward.
- Timeline of events: Prepare a timeline of the incident, your injury, and any medical treatment or communication with your employer and the insurance company.
Being well-prepared for your consultation will allow the lawyer to assess your case more effectively and provide you with the best possible legal advice.
