Jason Oleman is not your average attorney. His vast experience speaks for itself, and his dedication to his clients is truly commendable. when I found myself in need of a criminal attorney, Jason Oleman came highly recommended. His wealth of experience was evident from the start, and his positive, compassionate approach immediately put me at ease during a challenging time. Jason's kindness and professionalism truly set him apart as an exceptional legal advocate - I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Steinberg Law Firm was there for me from beginning to end. Anytime I had a concern either Mr. Pearlman, Ms. Winnie, or Shannon replied in a timely manner. I never felt like I was just a client but Ms. Winnie always checked on me and made sure my needs were being addressed by providers. Thank you all for supporting me and being my advocate! This pain will be something I will have to live with for the rest of my life but thank you for helping my former employer take accountability for my suffering.

Derrick Law Firm was the right choice for exceptional and friendly service after our accident. Every call was pleasant, and our attorney Alison treated us like our case was important and guided us through the process of unfamiliar territory of dealing with insurance companies. My family decided not to file a lawsuit, but Derrick Law Firm still negotiated an excellent settlement and we were able to handle the expenses that come with a car accident. We appreciate Derrick Law Firm for helping us when we didn't know the next steps to take.

William Nixon was an incredible asset for myself and my family. I was in a good bit of trouble due to my addiction. I was full of fear and was a broken man mentally, physically, and spiritually. He never once made me feel judged or looked down upon. He was kind, compassionate, and honest no matter how tough the content of the conversation was. It was an honor to watch him on a monthly basis appear in court and speak on my behalf for over a year. I will always appreciate the job he did and the man he is.

After a horrible car accident where I was hit head on, I called Bill Nixon as he was referred to me by a friend. I'm glad I did. He took the time to explain the process, and worked hard to get me more than I could of hoped for. He set me up with top-notch doctors who were a huge help, as I had sustained some back injuries. I also appreciated that he kept me informed. If I ever need legal representation again, I will only call Bill Nixon!

I enjoyed working with Dennis. He was very helpful and upfront about the entire process. He worked very hard for me and kept me fully informed at all times.
He even kept his sense of humor when the compensation people were not being helpful. His professional expertise and his honest answers helped me to conclude my case in a successful manner.

Nothing, but the best things to say after dealing with the Joye Law Firm. Specifically John Decker and Maggie Lewis, who assisted me throughout the difficult process and addressed every concern of mine to satisfactory resolution. I would utilize their services again and recommend them to anyone else seeking legal services.

Our HOA board recently hired Justin to be our new attorney. For the past three years, we have been having more and more problems relating to our community lake that we do not own. In the less than one month that Justin has been representing our board, he has advised us and resolved issues that we have been struggling with not only about the lake on which we live, but he has also advised us on questions that we have had about possible changes to our CCER (Covenants, Conditions, Easements and Restrictions). Not only has he done so quickly, but he has saved our HOA board a great deal of money.

The only reason we're 'at war', as David puts it, is because entitled white men like my attorney, here, think they can violently overthrow the government and return us to the 'good old days' where ignorance and hateful waste was king. Please avoid this lawyer if you believe we can all come together as humans, and work things out without violence and unchecked avarice. All of this is proven in his Justice Dept. complaint: https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/case-multi-defendant/file/1507411/download

I contacted George Sink Law Firm due to a car accident, at no fault of my own! The firm helped me find doctors that treated my body injuries and educated me. I regained my normal body mobility, with out pain or discomfort! Thank you to all of the staff at North Charleston BP Chiropractic Care! I found myself in a bigger problem then just being lucky my body was only hurt! The firms attorney Mr. David Johnston was handling my case when a third party company began fighting me. The third party company was not directly involved in the case. Mr David Johnston was willing to help me state the facts of the car accident with the understanding I had to fight the third party company on my own! The third party company only wanted me to pay...pay...pay! The work that went into my problems where not always apart of the case at hand for my attorney. Without the honesty of the attonery Mr. David Johnson and willingness to provide the facts in strong deliverable format to me. I would not have been able to state the facts with all the information in a timeline format to the third party company! Mr. David Johnston with out a second thought was honestly concerned with the Facts of the case being presented to all parties in the case and in my person problems! I gained respect, gratitude and will highly recommended Mr. David Johnson for a life-time! With the act of honesty Mr. David Johnson choose not “to just do his job”; he went “Above an Beyond” to help me! It is my privilege to know an attonery in the low-country which does not quit when their reach is limited! Again a car accident with no fault of my own, I was able to gain Justice from all parities! Mr. David Johnson I Thank You!
My Warmest Regards,
Jamie

All he did was show up on time. His communication and follow up was horrible. He did not use information that I provided him nor did he seem to care about my concerns. I heard he was a good lawyer but I did not get that vibe. Now I'm behind the 8-ball trying to find someone to fix what he started or failed to start for that matter. I will not refer him to anyone.

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.
