I was hurt, out of work and I really didn't have a direction to go in my life. Michael had called me and introduced himself in a polite way as he always does and asked what am I looking for. To be honest it wasn't money, look I know we all need money and so did I. Looking back I just wanted to put it behind me and move on. He would call me and we would talk and never in a hurry like some lawyers or I would call and if he wasn't in I could leave a message and he would call me back and we could talk as long as I wanted. He just made me feel like a friend was working with me and that it wasn't about the size of the case. In my opinion I think Michael cares about what he is doing and it matters to him and thats why I didn't feel like a client I.D.. They say you can't trust lawyers cause they just care about money, well I trusted Michael and the only thing he done that I didn't ask him to do was get me more money than I asked for so you tell me. Thank you so much Michael Friedman. And with his help I am in college now with a 3.55 GPA which is great for me.

I am writing to express my profound gratitude and satisfaction with the exemplary legal representation I received from Banks Weaver Law Firm and their team following my recent accident. From the moment I first reached out to their office, I was met with professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for my case.
Navigating the aftermath of an accident can be an incredibly overwhelming experience. The physical, emotional, and financial toll it takes on a person is often exacerbated by the complexities of dealing with insurance companies and legal proceedings. However, from our initial consultation, Sam Weaver demonstrated not only an impressive depth of legal knowledge but also a genuine understanding of the challenges I was facing. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and outline a strategic plan tailored specifically to my needs.
Throughout the entire process, Banks Weaver and their team exhibited an extraordinary level of dedication and responsiveness. I was kept informed at every stage of my case, with regular updates on developments and clear explanations of legal terms and procedures. This transparency helped alleviate much of the anxiety I felt during this tumultuous time. Additionally, the team was always available to address any concerns I had, often responding to emails and calls promptly, which reassured me that my case was in capable hands.
One of the standout aspects was their tenacity in negotiating with the insurance companies. They were relentless in advocating for my rights and ensuring I received fair compensation for my injuries and losses. Their extensive experience in personal injury law was evident as they skillfully navigated the complexities of the case, leveraging their expertise to counter the tactics typically employed by insurance adjusters.
Ultimately, Banks Weaver Law Firm successfully secured a settlement that exceeded my expectations, allowing me to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. This outcome not only provided financial relief but also gave me a sense of closure and justice that I desperately sought after the accident.
I wholeheartedly recommend this law firm to anyone in need of legal assistance following an accident. Their combination of professionalism, expertise, and compassion set them apart in the field. I am immensely grateful for their efforts and the positive outcome they achieved on my behalf. If you are looking for a lawyer who will fight tirelessly for your rights and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve, look no further than Banks Weaver Law Firm Thank you once again for everything!

After I had fallen at work I hired an attorney who said that my case was not worth much money. I then hired Ron Hilley who got me a settlement many times the amount that the first attorney said my case was worth. While my workers' compensation case was going on, Mia Frieder told me that she thought that we could sue the building for my fall. The building owners would not settle without a lawsuit. Mia and Ron filed suit and got me a confidential settlement with which I was completely satisfied. I have recommended Hilley & Frieder to friends who said they were pleased.

I was having problems with another lawyer for about 2 years on a WC case and a friend told me to call Ronald Hilley. I spoke with Mr. Hilley and he took over my case with know problems, we met in February 2016 and in May 2016 we had a good settlement on the table. After that we file for SSDI, 6 months later it was approved. Mr. Hilley is professional, respectful, good communication and willing to go out his way to get a good result. Still this day we are friends and I have a lawyer who I can turn to anytime and have trust. His staff Mrs. Vernassa does a wonderful job also.

Stopped contact when an issue came up with a case he represented me in. His wife, Mia Frieder, says he is out on medical leave. I have not heard from this individual for over 6 months. Firm left me hanging on a separate WC case and terminated the contract after 8 months without warning or a referral to an attorney that could take the case.

Scott is Awesome! Scott and his Paralegal Gina were always there for me, they put me at ease, calmed my stresses, never once tried to sugar coat anything. I felt comfortable calling or emailing Scott with even the littlest question and knew I would receive a response by the end of the day. Response were always HONEST, detailed and in terms I understood. Business is business, professionalism was ever present in a kind & caring way. I hated that I needed a Lawyer at all however so glad I was referred to Atty Scott Christopher, he truly made a bad situation Better!

We retained R. Scott Christopher for representation in a workman's compensation claim. Scott always went above and beyond to make sure that the process was thoroughly explained to us, and made sure that any questions or concerns, no matter how trivial, were addressed. He was also very prompt with returning phone calls and emails. I would highly recommend R. Scott Christopher based on both the level of service we received, and the outcome of our case.

I would recommend Mr. Lowery to anyone in need of a lawyer for a workers compensation case. My case was handled in a very professional and timely manner. Mr. Lowery was very honest and up front with my options. I always felt like Mr. Lowery was in my corner,doing everything he could for me and not his self. He very truthful in all the scenarios, "what ifs",as I like to call them when I asked. I gave Mr. Lowery 4/5 stars simply because nobody is perfect and there's alway room for improvement but the fact is Mr. Lowery done an excellent job and I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case!

Al Quillian is such a wonderful attorney to deal with. He participates in "Corporate Law" and focuses on the interest of the employer in WC cases. His dedication has been proven by 7PM phone calls and giving his all when we need him. His sense of humor is sorely needed many times when dealing with this type of thing, and he comes through. It's nice to have an attorney you can laugh with and know he will still get the job done.

I have dealt with Deming Parker for 23 years and until now, my service has been superior. However, this year I have waited 5 weeks for Attorney Phelps to write a letter on my behalf, I called on a Wednesday for an attorney call back and it is Tuesday and I STILL have not spoken to an attorney about my matter!!!! The young man on the phone was rude and condescending and not one person has said "I am sorry you are having these issues" or even acted like this was unacceptable, which apparently this is the standard of their service these days! Someone at Deming Parker needs to get their head out of the sand and fix these problems NOW!!!

This law firm is the worst. Michael Peterson acts like he is interested when you are about to give him your credit card number on top of your legal shield. Then as soon as you pay he treats you like you the bad person. When you request a refund, he keeps charging you even though he filed papers saying he is no longer you attorney. This law firm made me cancel my Legal Sheld. They owe me $1000 but even though they have not been my attorney for 2 months they keep sending me invoices for the work. I am down to $200 now. I wonder if I will even see that or will they send me another bill. This place is a joke, bottom feeder attorneys.

He is very smart when it comes to workers comp. Just when the insurance company thought they had one he came out swinging harder and we got the last laugh in the end.

Mr Widener is one of the best WC lawyers out there if not the best! He handled my case as if it was his only case. He told me exactly what the insurance company would try to do to hurt my claim and they done it. He was quick to counter when my benefits stopped as well, he assured me that I had a favorable case and the outcome would be great also. Mr Widener worked hard for me day in and day out. In the end he got me a great settlement that I will always be thankful for. If you need the best workers comp attorney to represent you hire Mr Widener. You will not regret it.

Perry is still handling my case I was with another law firm & never talked to my lawyer. She never called me & I always had to go through her assistant (NOT COOL).
I will say it was Foy & Associates. It wasn't Foy himself!! Letting that be understood!
I have read the reviews about Perry Ellis & I can't say he is a bad attorney my case is still open.
Here is my take on Perry; I just think he is a no nonsense attorney & he doesn't like a bunch jibberish. He want facts he is an agressive lawyer his demeanor is of a pitbull BUT he doesn't mean any harm. Lawyers time is money & being tied up in court & going back & forth with employers/insurance companies. I haven't settled yet but I hve no doubt he will take care of things. If you don't have supporting facts to prove your case I don't think it's any lawyer's fault!! I will post again the out come of the compensation of perry ellis fight for his clients. PROMISE!

Bruce is an outstanding attorney, he went argued my case against one of the largest DOD insurance company's. He was able to get the insurance company to pay all of his fees. He was able to get the insurance company to give me two advance while I wait for the process to go through. He was get the insurance company to pay for the overage that I received through long-term disability. One of Bruce strongest skills is negotiations, it may not feel like he does not hear you. That is our pain and frustration, when he say I am on your side, he truly is. Thank you Bruce!!!!

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.
