This gentleman and his firm have been providing me legal services for over 15 years and Matt has been not only a great attorney, but a good friend. I find his entire firm and staff to be knowledgeable, efficient, and aggressive on my behalf. He has prevented several questionable situations from becoming a problem because of his ability to approach it correctly, and defend myself and company from situations which have occurred as the result of day to day business. He and his partner, Kyle are great attorneys and I highly recommend them both should you need an attorney.

I am very grateful for my attorney Alex and his team. I was arrested abruptly and him and his team worked close with my family to review options for my release. I am grateful for his attentiveness to my case and his accessibility to me and my family. My case was a looming presence over me but thanks to his knowledge of the court system and him and his teams work, my case was dismissed.
My unfamiliarity with the legal system made a very confusing time feel very scary but having Alex and his team gave me courage and peace. Highly recommended for anyone going through a similar situation.

Mr. Rosenberg is a walking library of information of law. I've never met an attorney who has such a tremendous wealth of knowledge in the broad spectrum of law.

He has won cases on my behalf and I highly recommend David Rosenberg.

I was injured at work and needed surgery. I was handling my case myself up to the point that my surgery failed and my doctor was saying that I was fine and could go back to work even though I was not fine. Mr. Morris found me a much better doctor. After a second surgery I feel better although not 100%. Mr. Morris did a good job of keeping me informed during the process. In the end my case settled. I am happy with my settlement. Mr. Morris did a great job.

I can’t recommend Diedre enough. A friend suggested her to help me with a complex multi-car crash. Diedre is everything I was looking for in a lawyer. She’s very thourough, works hard on your behalf, tells it like it is, and is incredibly honest. Working together Diedre and I agreed it doesn’t make sense for me to hire her in my specific situation, but she’s offered to continue to help answer questions and go over paperwork as I need it. It’s very refreshing to work with a lawyer who’s primary goal really is to help people.

I was referred to Bill by another attorney that my brother in law was using at the time while being in Northern California and dealing with a out of state attorney that i fired. When Bill picked up the pieces he moved swiftly and communicated with me every step of the way if i had questions he would answer them in a timely manner. I was in a car accident and had to have two surgerys and had lots of questions. Within a week i had a Dr appointment and a check in the mail to pay for it. Before you know it my case was won! Bill did an amazing job along with his assistant Claudia! I would highly recommend Bender & Gritz and I will be using Bender & Gritz in the future when needed!

Mr. Berkley answered my phone call within hours of receiving my online message, and was able to jump in with his expert insights at a crucial moment of my life. He went above and beyond to provide objective feedback and information on how to move forward with a housing matter, and he was the most helpful and supportive attorney I have interacted with. I previously reached out to several other law firms, and the likelihood of a simple resolution seemed impossible. In 20 minutes, Mr. Berkley gave me a thorough appraisal of my situation, advised my options, and potential legal impacts and outcomes that I would have never considered. He gave advice to resolve the issue in a way that would benefit me, without increasing hostility between myself and the property owner. The core value of the advice was to resolve the issue seamlessly, quickly, effectively, and most importantly, move on with my life, which is exactly the values I would want in an attorney. I ended the phone call feeling reassured and equipped to move forward with dignity and a calm demeanor. This is the attorney you will want by your side, who also explains everything in detail, breaks down jargon you may not understand, and makes the process a better learning experience. Mr. Berkley was a beacon of hope, and I hereby recommend him without reservation.

I had lost all hope. My C&P exam was a disaster. The evaluating nurse was argumentative and extremely rude. I filed a complaint but nothing happened.
I cannot recommend Mr. Abarr highly enough for anyone seeking assistance with a veteran disability claim. From our first consultation, it was clear that he is not only exceptionally knowledgeable in this area of law but also deeply compassionate and genuinely invested in helping veterans.
Mr. Abarr demonstrated an unparalleled understanding of the complexities involved in veteran disability claims. He took the time to thoroughly explain the process to me, making sure I understood every step. What truly set him apart was his honesty; he provided realistic expectations and was transparent about the potential outcomes, which gave me great confidence in his ability to handle my case.
Throughout the process, Mr. Abarr was incredibly supportive and always made me feel like a priority. He was responsive to my questions and concerns, showing a level of patience and understanding that is rare to find.
Thanks to Mr. Abarr's dedication and expertise, my claim was successful, and I am beyond grateful for the outcome. If you are a veteran looking for an attorney who is not only highly skilled but also truly cares about your well-being, look no further than Mr. Abarr.
I also want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible support I received from Paralegal Ashley during my veteran disability claim process. She was an invaluable part of the team, consistently going above and beyond to ensure that everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. Ashley was always prompt in responding to my inquiries, no matter how small or complex.

We can not than Maurice L. Abarr enough for his handling of our son's VA claim! It was a very long and arduous road however, Mr. Abarr and Ashley Rodriguez kept us informed on every leg of the process and were willing to help our son when we had been told by others that an appeal wasn't worth the effort. Mr. Abarr is compassionate, articulate, very knowledgeable and organized. If you are lucky enough to have Mr. Abarr take your case, you can rest assured that you are in the best of hands!

He said I was a minimum of 49% by 2/2003 just in physical PAIN NEVER BELOW 7of 10 Pain Day and Night. He said he would represent me. If I did exactly as he said. Do not tell Union. Dont speak to Labor relations about harassment. Mainly If I allow him to represent me “”His Words to help Represent me”” . If I did not get my own Lawyer. HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF ME , I COULD FINISH OUT THe SIT-COM I was already bestboy on.UNTILL IT ENDED.

Add in Depression Mental distress. Never to work as a grip ever again. He would get me the $$ money I deserve.

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.
