I had attained attorney Watson to represented me in a domestic case for which I was falsely accused . Mr Watson went beyond the call of duty to vindicate me. Even when I wanted to give up, he was there to encourage and motivate me. Thanks to his confidence, dedication and work ethic the case ended in my favor..

While he was against a very rigid and apathetic system, Mr. Watson persevered. His commitment to his client did not merely end with the court's decision, but he further assisted his client beyond the contractual agreement. I cannot thank him enough for his diligence, caring and the many hours in and out of court. BRAVO!!!! and thank you.

Attorney Carta and his paralegal team have been truly excellent. The Workers Comp process can be long and grueling, particularly when dealing with big, indifferent corporations. I have found Carta to be very patient, hard-working, and tireless in fighting the case. His staff have also been enormously helpful in supporting his work for me: spot-on diligent, professional at all times, and truly hard-working. I tend to have very high standards and expectations of people I hire. I am so pleased with Attorney Carta's long-term help that I have started carrying his business card at work, and have given them to other folks when they needed a hand. I would not do that if i was not both confident in him being able to do a good job helping fellow co-workers, and also satisfied with his help.

Attorney Carta and team handled an involved workmanship compensation case on my behalf. It required months of correspondence between multiple parties. I was kept informed every step of the way and any questions or concerns I had were addressed promptly by either Attorney Carta or his paralegal. Always professional yet very approachable and empathetic to my needs. Results of negotiations were very acceptable to all parties.

He attended numerous hearings and worked tirelessly on my behalf. Throughout this process, I also communicated frequently with Denise, Scott's paralegal. She collected and organized my documents, so that my case could move forward seamlessly. Both Scott and Denise, communicated with me in a timely manner. I am very satisfied with the results of my case. They are a terrific team, and I would highly recommend them!

As I have never been in legal trouble, I was extremely nervous and anxious about the ordeal. Mr. Fazzone not only got all charges dismissed, but he was very communicative and comforting! A++ service from a fantastic lawyer, and also a great person!

Vincent first saw me talking to the prosecutor in the local court house about an unfair violation ticket given that had consequences i would unlikely get out of, especially on my own. Mr. Fazzone saw me and felt the urge to come up to me, not only calm me down but kindly explain how he could help. He gave me his card, i called, the rest was history. He went above and beyond to fight for me countless times for nearly a year before finally WINNING my case! He pushed and pushed to get more time and assured me it was all for a reason, no matter how impatient I became, he was kind and understanding and continued to remind me why he was doing all this. He helped me and saved me from a world of trouble and couldn't be more grateful. 10/10 hire this man you will NOT be disappointed.

Out of the letters I received for consultation with potential legal representation, Attorney Fazzone's spoke to me the most. The reviews I read about him providing excellent feedback were 100% true. I hired him immediately & it was the best decision I've ever made! He was completely professional, helpful, informative, knowledgeable, personable, honest, upfront, trustworthy, and affordable. He was available to reach whenever I needed, always responded immediately & even went out of his way to meet at our initial consultation. He made me feel at ease at a time my case was causing me much stress & anxiety. He listens to his clients, has empathy for them where the courts may not do the same & he will fight for them to make sure the end result is justice being served! He is everything I had hoped & expected for & more in an attorney, as well as an incredible person. He truly cares about his clients & it shows! He was able to guide me through everything, kept me in the know about what was going on, what could happen, and what the best and worst case outcome scenarios were. When all was said & done, he was able to get my case dismissed. I couldn't be more grateful! I am so happy his letter for legal council made its way to me! I could not have done this without him! As well as I am positive the outcome would definitely not had been the same without him! Reflecting back on that fateful letter sent to me, everything it stated turned out to be true as well as a sign for me to hire the best legal representation there was out there!

Review for Attorney Francis Xavier Drapeau Let me start by saying I never had or expected to have a case or law firm this long in my life. My journey started in 2006 with Attorney Bernie Poliner of Poliner and Poliner in Middletown, Connecticut. Bernie had mentioned to me that he had been thinking of retiring and negotiating with the Law Firm of Leighton, Katz and Drapeau in Vernon, Connecticut, to take over his case load. As it turns out Bernie had a severe fall, hit his head and within days had passed away. Bernie’s Legal Secretary, Lorrie Cohen was making the move to the firm of Leighton, Katz and Drapeau. Lorrie has been a God-send to me because I have called her numerous times where she has been a sounding board for me, answered questions, listened to me with concerns and always there to help in any way she could. It was an easy transition to Attorney Drapeau’s firm because I knew Lorrie knew my case inside out that was very comforting to me. For the next 10 (ten) years, Lorrie was my “go to” person, she was like a sister to me. Attorney Drapeau, I personally believe is the best Workmen’s Comp attorney could have ever had. H was always on top of my case to answer questions and concerns thoroughly. I was amazed at what “A Cool Cat” he was always calm and talked to you until you understood, I never walked away from him either on the phone or in person scratching my head saying “what was he talking about?” In my opinion he represented my case with the best of his ability, kept me happy, so I would definitely recommend him to anyone that was looking for “THE BEST” Worker’s Comp attorney to represent them. He truly is the best Sincerely, Blake, Connecticut

I found Attourney Delia through an online search, initially I was intrigued by his credentials in the type of law I was needing assistance with. After our first consultation I was not only satisfied with his vast knowledge in probate law, which speaks volumes alone. More so I was impressed by his genuine disposition. Attourney Delia took several hours out of his busy schedule to consult with me regarding a case that had been troubling me for many years. He was kind and patient , he went over every document I have regarding my parents estate ( which was quite lengthy and involved). Mr.Delia explained everything to me fully, so that I was able to understand what was executed over the years. I would more than highly recommend Attourney Anselmo M. Delia to anyone in search of any of his listed areas of expertise of the law. I was comforted with Attourney Delias in depth knowledge of different aspects of the law in addition to his graciousness. To find both of these in an Attourney is quite rare as I'm sure many of us are aware.

In what turned out to be a very stressful lawsuit involving my mother's estate, he was always supportive and confident. He is honest and very knowledgeable about estates, which gave me great confidence in his ability to fight for us. When our case took unexpected turns and then headed to trial, he also turned out to be a skilled negotiator. I felt Attorney Delia had our best interests in mind at all times. Working with him gave me peace of mind and that really helped me know that we had chosen the right attorney to help us for mother's estate. I would highly recommend him.

When I had my accident at work a friend of mind recommended Atty. Truppa just to consult with for some information. It was a bad time in my life I was in pain out of work..etc. She was so understanding of my situation like she really wanted to help. She told me that she thought I had a valid claim so I decided to ask her to represent me. There was months of Doctors appointments, physical therapy and so on..This attorney was there every step of the way. I'd call the office with a question and was always received so professionally. If she was out of the office when I called she always got back to me within a reasonable amount of time. After my treatment was done Attorney Truppa managed to get me a very generous settlement. I was so pleased with my dealings with her I've since used her for some other matters and remain pleased with eash encounter.

I needed to find someone who could help me with my closing on my condo.This lawyer I found in the yellow pages. After I contacted her she told me just what I needed to do, the realtors and banks don't inform you of much, you really need a lawyer, trust me. Well all I can say is my closing went off with out any problems. It was reassuring to know she kept me in the loop. We are using her again for our office building closing.

Atty. Laben is highly recommended. Adam is highly professional, takes the time to review the issue, listen carefully, and respond fully. He inspires confidence and calm throughout the often intimidating court system. As a therapist, I referred many clients to Adam for his quiet, supportive, and strong presence, invaluable to those in need of an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer willing to sit, listen, and defend. He is my own attorney and I recommend him without reservation.

Attorney McQuillan did Probate work as I was the Trustee for my mother. He is very well-versed and no greedy family member, proved to be too much for him. He also advised me on a Workers Comp issue, and it was "time sensitive." He always comes through and he is beyond fair. I do not like attorneys at all, but he is a rare breed with humanity, that others lack. HIGHLY recommended. 200 STARS~

We retained Tom this past year and couldn't have been happier. From the very beginning, it was clear that Tom knew the law, the court system and had direct experience with our specific type of case. I've worked with Attorney's my entire career and appreciate that throughout the process, Tom was always very clear and made sure that we understood what was happening. But most important, he was very compassionate while doing his job, explained to us when a decision was made and fought for what was fair. Tom is a passionate, ethical Attorney and I highly recommend him.

"I am an experienced paramedic, with awards and decorations, with over 20 years of experience. Recently I was terminated from my empowerment through no fault of my own. I had applied for unemployment compensation and was denied. I reached out to Attorney Lasko . After a through and extensive consultation with Attorney Lasko, where he was able to analyze my termination and give me a firm understanding of what my legal rights were as to wrongful termination and unemployment benefits, I retained Attorney Lasko. Attorney Lasko was able to put together an highly effective letter that was sent to my former employer which resulted in my re-employment and the winning of unemployment benefits in the appeal process that covering unemployment benefits for the time I was out of work.. Although it is Attorney Lasko’s policy not to guarantee results, the results he obtained for me through keen insight, quick action, and years of tempered experience as he negotiated with my former employer were beyond any expectation I may have had. Results speak and Attorney Lasko delivered! I recommend Attorney Lasko without reservation! Eric Fortmann, EMTP

Attorney Lasko was one of three attorneys referred to me by Outten & Golden. I hired Attorney Lasko, because he was prompt and proactive. He helped devise an exit strategy from my former employer, then navigate through the separation, which was done so amicably. Moreover, I was able to successfully secure the maximum severance package allowable from my former employer on the terms that I desired. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I have able to remain on good terms with my former employer. This was a win-win situation. I highly recommend Attorney Lasko.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
