Divorce isn't easy, but I came out of this experience feeling way better than I did because of the fact I had Mrs. Kathy Dupuy-Bruno as my lawyer. If you're looking to hire a lawyer who is dependable, smart, and understanding, she's the one to have by your side. From the beginning until the end, Mrs. Dupuy-Bruno and her staff were amazing. All my questions and concerns were addressed on time and I was given great counsel on how to improve my case, and incidentally my family's life too. Resources on how to cut cost were made readily available and she made it easy to submit paperwork. We had to go to trial and when those days came by, she was just as reliable. She was prompt and knowledgeable, which made me less nervous and in turn gave me confidence in the outcome of my case. Overall, Mrs. Kathy was outstanding. A situation that could have been chaotic and very stressful, went smoothly because of Mrs. Dupuy-Bruno expertise and empathy.

I was going through the most difficult time of my life. I hired Kathy for a domestic violence case and I have to say she was well organized and prepared for my case. She walked me through every step and gave me great advice throughout the way. Then once that case was done, I hired her for my paternity case which took place in Miami because I couldn't do it without her. There were times I felt she wouldn't be aggressive enough with these Miami lawyers but she surprises you and she takes charge and she really knows her stuff. I will always recommend her to anyone going through family law matters. It would be a smart move to have her on your side.

Mrs. Dupuy Bruno is an awesome attorney who goes far and beyond to prove her point in a case. In my situation, the father of my children was arguing against his child support increasing. In preparation for court, Mrs. Dupuy Bruno shared with me research that she had viewed that was similar to mine. From her going far and beyond, it allowed me to know that she cared about my case and that she was going to do all that she could. Not only that, but she continued to keep me posted. Whenever I called her office and she wasn’t available, she would always return my calls. There was never a time that I had to sit around and wait for a response, because she was always up front, honest, and did not procrastinate. I always felt comfortable and assured that things would get accomplished. Mrs. Dupuy Bruno’s knowledge and organizational skills are impeccable! From this, she was able to represent well in court! With that being said…the final decision was in my favor! Thank You Mrs. Dupuy Bruno!!! And Thank You God!!!!!

Because of past experiences I will admit I wasn’t the easiest client to work with, but Doug and his paralegal Amy treated me like a king. They answered all of my questions in a very timely manner and kept me in the loop through the entire process. If you need a Workers Compensation attorney, don’t hesitate to retain Mr. Bond.

Zach Tucker provided me with excellent legal representation and put his superior knowledge of the Defense Base Act on full display throughout the course of my case. Mr. Tucker is a real professional, and he made all legal matters a walk in the park for me. Zach Tucker and his staff provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to all details of my DBA case. Zach's attitude toward my case was unbelievable. Zach also helped me avoid potential traps that could be set by the employer and insurance company. Zach knows them all, will foresee them, and he is experienced enough to prevent them. He will provide you with the right advice on time, before you make your decision or find yourself in a bad situation. If you've been injured on the job offshore, overseas etc., I suggest immediately contacting Zach Tucker at Rudolph, Israel, Tucker, & Ellis (RITE law). You will not regret it!

Mr. Colon is brilliant but also has the ability to genuinely and kindly represent his clients. I felt like he put himself in my place and honestly knew what I needed him to do for me. I interviewed several attorneys who came highly recommended prior to meeting with Mr. Colon. After speaking with Mr. Colon for just a few minutes, there was no doubt in my mind that he was the very best attorney of all the previous ones I had met with. He is so good! His staff is excellent, highly knowledgeable and respectful.. Even though my situation was not a comfortable life event, Mr. Colon took care of everything for me. I have so much respect and confidence in him. If you need someone very special and highly knowledgeable to help you, call Mr. Colon. His receptionist and his paralegal are an excellent team.

Money wasted. She was almost always late for court. Did the bare minimum with my kids father case. Had so much evidence showing he was innocent that she did not show the courts. Forced him to plead out to his case which got him 8 years in prison. Definitely wished we would have done more research before hiring her. The justice system is systemic and truly unfair.

Through every season Rick was there; no matter the issue, no matter the time of day or night-constant, quick, confident, and kind.

Approximately 2 years ago I was involved in an automobile accident which left me with buldging discs. I was experiencing severe physical pain , especially in my lower back. Moreover, I even had to stop practicing yoga which is my passion. Furthermore, the insurance company was claiming the injuries were pre-existing. Attorney Ricardo Morales who was highly recommended to me, put his expertise and experience into my case, which was complicated. He was able to change the outcome of my case to a very favorable result. Through his efforts I was awarded a high compensation and I was able to take time off from work and concentrate on my health which has improved tremendously. I highly recommend the services of Dr. Ricardo Morales to anyone who has endured any type of accident. Also, besides being known for his professionalism and honesty , he is very caring towards his clients.

I had a wrist injury and lost my job. I immediately looked for an attorney for guidance. Judd showed true concern while others only wanted to make appointment. He came to my home and explained what he and his team could do for me. His team (Stephanie and Patricia) are the most compassionate people answering any questions and responding immediately. Judd would always follow up with me. They were able to successfully ensure that I received the necessary surgeries and treatment. Judd quickly handled any issues with insurance ensuring I received compensation checks. I was very pleased with the final settlement. I would definitely recommend Judd Koenig and his team.

I had to go through a workman's comp case this past year and though it was a stressful decision and experience, Judd Koenig, and his coworkers at the law firm (Patricia F, and Stephanie Perez) helped take some of the load off my shoulders. Judd fought for my right to be able to take care of my future medical needs due to my back injury. Though I hope I never have to go through this kind of thing again, or an injury like this, I am glad I had Judd and his law firm on my side. He helped me get my life back, and though the quality of it isn't always where it used to be prior to the injury, the stress of medical bills and possible surgery in the future is somewhat less stressful and worrisome. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

I was one of the first employees hired at a large manufacturing company in my area. I worked 21 years without ever making any suit for some pretty bad injuries I had at work. Then I hurt my back one day lifting some parts when no one was there to help me. It was so bad I crawled to the office. After two weeks of being at home in bed and my last check cashed I had no income. The company kept telling me they sent my claim to thier insurance company. Months went by and our mortgage was way past due. The phone didnt stop ringing and I had to hide my truck from the repo man. My friend said to call Attorney Ms. Michele. I did and that day things started to get better. My Attorney filed cases and went to several hearings where I went to and told the Judge the story of my back injury. I could barely sit in the chair. The Judge said the company had made many mistakes in not giving me a doctor or money while I was waiting to see someone. He made an order and they had to pay me my back money and give me a doc. I needed surgery. Everything was fixed, we saved the house, still got the truck, my back is good again, still working the job. Attorney Michele Guindon, thank you for fighting for me and all of the hard work I saw you doing for my family. God Bless you.

Finding Kenneth to help settle my DBA claim was the best thing I ever did! I had hired two different attorneys prior to finding Kenneth. They were the reasons people make jokes about attorneys. Kenneth quickly went to work on my case, kept me informed each step of the way, explained clearly how the system works, and was always available to help me with even the smallest details! His office staff were awesome and supportive as well. They frequently reached out to me to see how I was doing. When the time came to negotiate the financial settlement, he was very well prepared and he negotiated a settlement that was triple what I thought I would get! He is a kind and compassionate man and always treated me with respect. I was amazed that he could organize all the materials and medical records that had accumulated over several years before I found him. He understands how the opposition works as he had once worked on their team. His experience working the other side of the isle gave him a clear understanding of the best way to handle the claim that would get me the best medical care as well as build a case for a large settlement. I will always be indebted to him for the work he has done to get a settlement that will allow me to have the best financial and medical future possible. He is the genuine article, and from my previously negative experience with attorneys that never returned calls, lost documents, kept me in a holding pattern for years, Kenneth helped me regain my faith in our legal system. He quickly organized all the documents and moved my medical treatment forward. He advocated for the treatment that I felt would benefit me the most. He also patiently explained the DBA to doctors so that they would document my case clearly and bill the appropriate entities. When I had questions, he would answer them clearly and quickly. I never felt like just a claim number. Working in a war zone brings its own set of issues, and he was able to restore hope and optimism. He kept me informed about any and all progress on my claim. I will always be grateful that he was my attorney! More importantly, I will always consider him a dear friend.

I was apprehensive about being out of work because of an injury but Wanda Reas explained to me what rights I have under workers compensation and she made sure that I received the medical attention that I needed. Wanda was very thorough as far as communicating with me every step of the way as to what was happening with my case. There were no surprises and I feel that because of Wanda Reas, I received the care and compensation that was due to me by law. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her.

Ms. Reas has handled several civil cases for me over the past 5 years. I have never experienced a more professional yet "down to earth" attorney. By that comment I mean that Ms. Reas has true empathy - she actually cares. That level of commitment coupled with her knowledge of the law and civil procedure make her the type of attorney you definitely want on your side. Honest and fair with a tenacious willingness to fight for her client(s) I would recommend Ms. Reas to anyone in need of the services that she provides. Retain Ms. Reas and you will sleep well at night knowing that your case in capable and winning hands.

I would like to share a recent experience I had with Mr. Israel. While employed as a police officer, I was injured on the job which resulted in me being placed on worker's compensation. After several months of extensive delays by the w/c insurance company, a surgical procedure and extensive rehabilitation, I retained Mr. Israel to represent me in this matter. Mr. Israel is a very dedicated, competent and professional lawyer. In addition, Mr. Israel is a very warm and genuine person who provided excellent advice and made himself available to me for office visits, phone calls and e-mails as requested. Mr. Israel is very knowledgeable of the law and especially the laws which he specializes in. Mr. Israel's commitment to me and my legal matters resulted in an expedient and positive result. Again, I would highly recommend Mr. Israel for anyone in need of representation.

Marianne Hoke won my Social Security Disability case. From the begining she explained the process with encouragement to not get discouraged as it can take some time. During the process, she kept in touch with me and typically answered a text quickly. I admire her composure, her work ethic along with her commitment. Marianne also has a warmth and a compassionate heart that propels her to win for her client. She truly wants to help those who are hurting so she puts into practice her vast knowledge of the law to help her client as quickly as possible. I was grateful and beyond pleased with her excellent representation for me. I was also touched that she truly cared. If you need a lawyer who values you and will fight for you to win your case, call Marianne Hoke. I'm so glad I did.

Marianne reviewed my Social Security Disability case and accepted; She worked with me from the beginning. She advised me on what evidence would be needed to assure our case would be accepted and we wouldn't have to work though the denial process. Her professional approach from start to finish made the process much less stressful. I felt from the beginning that we would be successful. We were accepted from the application which is not the norm. I am positive without her help that we wouldn't have had the outcome that we achieved. She understands the process and how to keep her clients focused on what has to be done to achieve the cases success. Bottom line, she cares about you! If you need an attorney hire her and you won't be disappointed.

Marianne provided us great confidence from the very beginning that our Social Security claim will be settled sooner rather than later. After being denied claims a couple of times prior, it was just what we needed at the time. We would have saved ourselves a lot of time, emotion and money had we went with her from the beginning. I would encourage anyone in need of guidance and counsel to contact her as soon as possible in the process. So much weight has been taken off our shoulders. Looking back on it, she kept us informed throughout the entire process. Told us what to expect, gave us best and worst case scenarios, there were no surprises. It would be difficult to find a kinder, better informed, more knowledgeable counselor in the county. We wish her the very best in the future, God Bless her.

A few years ago I was involved in a car accident that resulted in some injuries. It was my first car accident and I was extremely scared, lost and confused on how to proceed. Marc and his team of legal staff made me feel like everything would be ok and they held my hand throughout the entire painful process. I trusted them with my case and they did not disappoint! Marc was able to get my reluctant insurance company to pay the full amount of the policy! I now have the funds that I need to continue my treatment and l cannot be more thankful for all his hard work. I do not believe that any other attorney could have made this happen the way it did. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone who needs assistance with a car accident case and requires an honest and caring attorney who will not let the big companies get the better of us hard working people.

Marc was wonderful. Even when I wanted to give up. It took us almost 6 long years to get my case resolved, but Marc and Ken were great. They both kept me on track. Ken is Marc's assistant, and is good . If I hadn't of been with Marc then I probably would have settled for a pittance. If you are hurt at work and want someone who will fight for you, then Marc is the man for you. He cares, he really does, and now a days that's hard to find. An attorney who cares about his client , not just the money. We finally settled in Dec. of 08' to my delight and satisfaction.

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.
