Charles Harris was super helpful preparing and closing on a business deal for me. Knowledgeable and calm, he made the process smooth and easy.

14 May, 2024 by Wendye pardue

As a Realtor, I have worked many times with Attorney Charles Harris and his team on closing with both buyers and sellers. The service has always been outstanding. Attorney Harris' calm demeanor and careful way of explaining contracts and the closing process here in Fairfield County to our clients, as well as his ability to work through issues that sometimes arise, has always made working with Harris, Harris & Schmid a pleasure.

24 Apr, 2024 by Kris francefort

Professional, knowledgeable, courteous, responsive, and completely trustworthy! The legal experts from Harris, Harris and Schmid provided calm guidance and legal security during what could’ve been a very stressful event. I highly recommend them as people and skilled specialists in law.

Attorney Christopher Setaro is proficient, knowledgeable, concise and by far the best attorney I have had the pleasure of working with. He was on top of everything. I received updates on my case via mail and email. His staff is also friendly and able to quickly answer questions. Attorney Setaro was also available to speak with in person as well. He explains your case as well as legal documents in a way that is understandable. He will go over anything until you understand clearly what your rights are. And if that isn’t enough, he was extremely amazing at my hearing. When the opposing attorney tells you, “you have a really good lawyer,” then you know you have made the right decision.

Attorney Wakefield represented one of our families, she was a total professional, compassionate and always made herself available to our client. our client was so grateful for her services since attorney Wakefield represented him pro se. i would highly recommend Attorney Wakefield.

08 Jul, 2024 by John o'hara

It's been five years since Attorney Susan Wakefield sat with me and explained that my divorce would be emotionally, financially, and legally challenging. She offered her personalized mediation services and explored mutually acceptable options. Specifically, she educated me so that I would feel empowered to choose the best outcome. She showed compassion and began the process with amicability, though was never afraid to throw on the gloves and fight for me. I felt that I had a fierce team of advocates backing me up with the focus on honesty. Attorney Susan Wakefield never sugar-coated matters, she gave it to me straight so that I knew where my case stood. I am grateful for the commitment of working together that brought consistent, efficient, and first-class representation and service. Attorney Susan Wakefield was the consummate professional that I needed to advocate on my behalf.

Attorney Tindall and his office went above and beyond while representing me in an automobile accident injury case. Both he and paralegal, Omayra kept me well informed throughout the whole process and helped me to get a satisfying settlement when I needed it most. I am so thankful to their law firm. They helped me every way they could along the way, offering advice and legal expertise when I needed it, leaving all my questions for the past, present and future answered. I highly recommend Tindall Law Firm, LLC and will definitely contact them again if I need their services in the future.

Professional, caring,, informative describes the experience my son and I had with Attorney TIndell and his entire office staff! Attorney got to the law suit quickly ,effectively and efficiently! From day one his office staff was instructed to obtain all the information quickly. Attorney TINDELL was effective in obtaining the maximum dollar amount for us! All the team worked efficiently together to obtain the results we were hoping for ! One shout out is to Omyra ,a TINDELL office staff personnel, for her absolute ability to obtain information quickly .Also the amazing ability to listen patiently as if I was the only client they had ! There is no doubt that if we ever needed to have Attorney service again ,pertaining to a vehicle accident , we would call Attorney TINDELL!

Without speaking at all on the case, I’d like to comment on Matthew and Jessica’s willingness to listen, look holistically at a situation, work with the family to truly understand their client beyond the obvious, allow their client influence over their repentance, and desire to see beyond what initially met their eye. In a case that could have gone one way fast… Matthew and Jessica took the time to really represent a whole person and get him a fair deal. With appreciation.

I called Chaffin Luhana once I saw the commercial and they got back to me ASAP and and told me that they would take my case and stay in contact with you through the process. They make sure you are taking care of from beginning to the end. Best injury lawyers to work with they got your back when fighting in court. And most importantly they are trial ready for your case if they need to take it a step further.

The team at Goff Law Group truly went above and beyond in handling my personal injury claim. They diligently explained every situation in detail to me and answered all of my questions. Melanie, the paralegal assigned to my case was very detailed oriented and responsive to any need. I had the pleasure of dealing with Attorney Annette Smith who, from the very start, was upfront and realistic regarding the situation and expectations. In the end the group maximized my claim--for which I am very grateful. I was very fortunate to fall into the care of the Goff Law Group, and I would recommend them to anyone in need of a law firm to handle a personal injury matter.

Two years ago my husband and I were walking out to our car in our apartment complex and they didn’t plow it and I fell on my hip that had been previously broken and I already have severe back issues I decided that after speaking to a few people I should definitely call an attorney and I have seen her commercials and billboards and I was like you know up I feel like she would be a great fit for me they kept me up-to-date on everything going on from the beginning to the end I couldn’t have chosen A better lawyer her staff is absolutely fantastic and they got me a significant compensation for not only my pain and suffering but for missing a lot of activities that I enjoy because I was in severe pain I cannot express enough if you need a lawyer contact this team because they are on your side 110% absolutely the best

I did not deal directly with Brook Goff, but did with her firm. I had a couple of lawyers, and they didn't work out. The one that did was Tiffany Sabato. She was stellar! Called me with information, called if she needed more information, kept me up to date on what was going on. I live out of state, but my accident took place in CT. It was reassuring to know that someone was watching out for me. Thanks again Tiffany for all your hard work, but happy I hope to never have to use a lawyer for the rest of my life.

Attorney Daddario was very diligent in processing my daughter's Social Security Disability claim. He always made sure all the required paperwork was sent to Social Security in a timely fashion. Also, he always returned our phone calls very quickly, and answered all our questions. He followed all the steps to assure she had a hearing. He was instrumental in our daughter's favorable decision. I would highly recommend Attorney Daddario.

27 Jun, 2024 by Michelle

It was very frustrating to find an attorney that could handle our case. Atty Daddario was just a random find on Google. We initially hired him to take on our case because he won a majority of his cases. As time progressed, it was apparent that Atty Daddario wasn't just a random atty, but someone with the best intentions for our case. He provided us with all the necessary information and details every step of the way. As we got closer to the court date for the hearing, it was nerve wracking. However, Atty Daddario assured us that it would be okay. He was right. Everything went smoothly, and there was nothing to be anxious about. I was very impressed with how professional and knowledgeable Atty Daddario was about our case. I'd highly recommend this well respected Atty, and that you would not be disappointed. Thank you, Atty Daddario, and Lots of Luck as you continue to serve and help win one case at a time.

What began as a tough decision to find representation at a very difficult time, turned into a huge relief that helped me to protect my family's interests and needs. Catherine and her amazing staff helped me every step of the way, from consultation to the final judgement. Catherine was there, at any time, to answer my questions, address my concerns and explain every step of this process. My children and I were put in a difficult situation and Catherine walked me through it. At various times when I was unsure of what was in the best interests of my family, she explained the possible outcomes in a way that made it understandable and that allowed me to make the right decision. Catherine always told it as it was and explained how the system works and how to help my family achieve what we needed. When I was pushing for certain goals, Catherine facilitated it. Even when I was not able to reach those goals, Catherine was a voice of reason and explained how to care for my family the best way possible given the situation. She fought for my behalf multiple times and constantly tried to reach a written agreement even very early in the process. Catherine and her incredible staff were constantly in communication with me about what was happening and what could develop in the process. Many times, Catherine cooled my emotions and reminded me of the big picture. After filing for divorce in the middle of last year we came to an agreement early this year, and I could not be any more pleased. Catherine's attention to detail in the final agreement has left me with a feeling of relief, knowing that my children and I are protected and in turn have a much more comfortable and safer environment.

Attorney Patrick Tomasiewicz is a rare combination of intelligence, deep experience, empathy, humility, and most importantly, high integrity.

Matt Sadler represented me in a personal injury matter. I was impressed by his diligence and professionalism. He explained to me clearly what my options were and guided me every step of the way. He always returned my phone calls. I was very happy with the way my case was resolved and I highly recommend him as an attorney.

23 Nov, 2022 by Anonymous

Matthew Sadler is an amazing attorney. He has helped me on several legal matters and needs. Unfortunately, I have been involved in a few unjust situations in which my options appeared limited, and a satisfactory resolution seemed out of reach. I met with many attorneys who would not take my case because I had already won my arbitration, and they did not want to tackle the many gray areas in my case. My situation was particularly challenging, one that would likely (and did) daunt less talented attorneys. I found that the lawyers that I contacted either didn’t want to take on a case that was primarily based on moral principle or they were too afraid of fighting the opposition. Matt Sadler was different. He refused to be intimidated and was not afraid to take on my adversaries. More importantly, he was willing to fight tirelessly to ensure that I received the justice I deserved. I was impressed with Matt’s work ethic for so many reasons. He always listened to me, took the time to read through my documents carefully, and probed further when more information was needed. Matt was honest, professional, organized, transparent, and candid when he needed to be. He always communicated with me in a timely manner and kept me informed about matters pertaining to my case. Matt personally addressed my case when it came time to go to trial, guiding me calmly through every step and ensuring that the process was civil and dignified. During the proceedings, Matt was completely focused with an aptitude that made me feel like his most important client. Ultimately, Matt negotiated a settlement that was satisfactory to me. Although more than seven years have passed since I first started working with him, I continue to send family and friends to Matt’s law firm. I recommend Matt unequivocally. There is no other attorney who compares to him. He has a high level of expertise in his field, and he has clearly demonstrated a high level of competence, capabilities, and compassion for justice. If you have a need for exceptional legal representation in personal injury, labor law or any other legal matter, I emphatically recommend the Sadler Law Group. You will indeed be fortunate if you acquire his services. I am extremely grateful to Matt Sadler for resolving my legal issues, and he will forever be a hero to my family and me. Thank you, Dan Nolan

Set expectations from day one as the process can be cumbersome as the time lines can range depending on which officer is assigned to our case. Checking in to let us know timelines as they changed as to manage expectations. EXTREMELY knowledgeable, as a client I was always confident that she knew the answer with anything I threw her way from various types of topics. Professional candor from the moment we meet her, polite, well spoken and always made us feel like her #1 priority. Care - she really added a simple but human touch to make sure we felt that she was doing the best she could to help us. Taking an interest in our story and customizing her approach to our needs Excellent communication throughout the process, her response times to our questions (and we had a lot, god bless her) and keeping us update with any relevant news. Giving us the best chance for success for our green card application by ensuring we came over prepared and to look our best during the interview process. All in all, good lawyers are hard to come by but someone like Diana is in a league of her own. Grateful we found her and we feel like a million dollars having her on her side to tackle any challenge coming our way. Thank you Diana for helping us through such a big life event!

I can't recommend Attorney Richard Grabow highly enough! I finally have federal disability support (SSDI) because I contracted with him. I would not have been able to successfully navigate the disability appeals process without him and his assistant Melissa. It was very difficult to find someone to take my case, as I am considered very young for disability and because (as Attorney Grabow explained) the system is not really set up to assess people with my many complex, chronic conditions. After a lot of hard work and an extremely long time of searching, I found two others willing to take my case, but after in-person consults, it was no contest that I wanted to go with Grabow. He was obviously very busy so he had to be very direct and to the point about everything, but I appreciate the efficiency and candor. He looked at my work history and medical summary, and he laid out the difficulties of my application but the reasons why I could (and obviously should) qualify. He also explained more of an inside perspective on how the system works, expected wait times, etc. The other folks I considered hiring did not seem nearly as competent nor were they as thorough or candid about things. Basically, how the office functions is that most communications are with his assistant Melissa and Richard directly communicates when needed. Melissa is friendly, helpful, and has more time for answering questions. Richard is understandably more rushed and some might perceive him as a bit gruff, but again, the efficiency, directness and high level of competence is what I prefer. (And, what works!) For anyone starting the disability process, some other helpful info: -Grabow operates on a common disability attorney method where you can contract with him and he does not receive payment unless you win your case. If you win, he is automatically paid a % from your backpay, with a cap. This was a godsend for me as, of course, I was destitute by the time I found him. -Contracting with a lawyer is extremely important and helpful, but you still have to stay on top of everything that you can yourself. For example, I always take notes, and Grabow mentioned a certain type of paperwork early in the process. I brought it up with him further into the process ("I have X in my notes. Should we be doing that soon?") and his take seemed to be, "We don't need that right now. Let's not do work until we need to do work and have everything as current as possible." Luckily, I pressed him on it to give it to me the forms to get to my doctor...and then, surprisingly, my case processing got pushed up EARLIER than expected, we did need that paperwork, and we had it in the nick of time. All this is to say, I don't think I would have been approved without his work on my case, but you still need to be engaged in the process. In sum, I am extremely glad and grateful that I used Richard and Melissa!! I was disabled for 10 years without support, and I am finally in the next chapter of my life because of their help. I can't thank them enough!!!

Attorney Richard Grabow and Attorney Mellissa Stelletto went above and beyond the call to f duty for me. They left no stone unturned and worked released for me. I highly recommend them. I am grateful beyond measure for all the effort and time they took with me and endless documents they had to go through. Thank you for everything.

My case was complex and involved several appeals and hearings. If not for Attorney Grabow, the ALJ would have decided the case before ever hearing it. Attorney Grabow was able to show that the ALJ made errors and, after the case was remanded, WE WON!

He’s gotten my friends and family the best case scenario results. He’s also defended me in a large workman’s comp case and gotten me a larger result than any lawyer even said possible. These days I live a quieter life than I used to and I’m glad to call John a friend. I hope I don’t ever need him for anything criminal again and have no plans to buy as long as I’m around I’ll always recommend John to those in need. Trust me you wont ever be disappointed with the results John will provide.

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.

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.
