Bruce is an outstanding attorney, he went argued my case against one of the largest DOD insurance company's. He was able to get the insurance company to pay all of his fees. He was able to get the insurance company to give me two advance while I wait for the process to go through. He was get the insurance company to pay for the overage that I received through long-term disability. One of Bruce strongest skills is negotiations, it may not feel like he does not hear you. That is our pain and frustration, when he say I am on your side, he truly is. Thank you Bruce!!!!

James Widener is a respectful and honest lawyer. Everything he does he does it for the clients best of interest. I hired him and he definitely got the job done for me. He is very smart when it comes to workers comp. Just when the insurance company thought they had one he came out swinging harder and we got the last laugh in the end. Hire Mr Widener the insurance company's want stand a chance.

Mr Widener is one of the best WC lawyers out there if not the best! He handled my case as if it was his only case. He told me exactly what the insurance company would try to do to hurt my claim and they done it. He was quick to counter when my benefits stopped as well, he assured me that I had a favorable case and the outcome would be great also. Mr Widener worked hard for me day in and day out. In the end he got me a great settlement that I will always be thankful for. If you need the best workers comp attorney to represent you hire Mr Widener. You will not regret it.
Previous client of
Mr Widener.

He has been my lawyer for over a year and the only thing he told me was he didn't care how I felt. He has acted as if he has been working for the company and he literally told me this company pays everyone off; including congress. Do I have to say more?

I hired Kevin for a disabaility case that was awaiting a hearing. After, I hired him the hearing was scheduled within 3 months time. Kevin did no major hourly work on my case because it had already been done prior to him being hired, and the work that needed to be done Kevin failed to do, like get important medical documents prior to the hearing and failed to inform me.Kevin asked the judge if he could have an extension/ continuance in order to obtain the documents. To top it off Kevin asked me to secure the documents a job he was hired to do and failed at. He also presented a questionable work expense to the judge in support of his request for payment from me. and
What kind of attorney seeks payment for work he NEVER PERFORMED? I DO NOT RECOMMEND KEVIN D. WHEELER , especially if you are looking for a honest, hardworking, truthful, attorney.

I had a disability case lasting over two years and still pending.As requested I had a hearing with a judge and only a week to prepare and no lawyer. after inquiring online for a lawyer Kevin Wheeler answered the call to assist with my case. the staff is very friendly and well trained. everyone was very courteous, expedient and handled my case thoroughly. the hearing went very well in my favor. I can't say enough about this Lawyer other than "look no further you have found the best".

I hired Jeannie Tupper upon exit from the military. I had a 100% disability rating from the VA medicines and what I felt was a solid case. First I never met the woman. She sent someone to my hearing who waited until 5 minutes before the hearing to explain that she would not be speaking but I would have to do all the talking. They did not properly request paperwork. I provided them with all needed paperwork. She fumbled up a good case. They would not file an appeal and I could not see Tupper to get any real answers. Time passed to the point now where I would have to start all over again. It's not fair but as a lawyer there was nothing she did except try to be in place to capitalize on what they may have thought to be an easy win. As a law office I would strongly ward off any suitable cases looking for help at that office.

My first conversation with Ted was more than promising that my charges would be dropped or I at least would be able to get it expunged off my record. He told me he would give me a discount and I would only owe him $1,800 for a providing minor with alcohol, not even a county court either. He told me " you can go look for cheaper, and I'm sure you'll find it, but darling I will tell you one thing, you get what you pay for"
Unfortunately I fell for this. I am a college student who works full time and goes to school full time, and pays for school on my own, but he promised to fix this, so I decided it would be worth it to put this money towards him rather than school, or my car.
Well I met with Ted for the first time and we went over everything that happened, we went over my past record, I have a couple of misdemeanors from 2013 and 2014, and he. Still promised to take care of me, he said "don't you worry about anything, now that I'm you're lawyer it is my job to worry, not yours, so don't worry and I will get in touch with you closer to court"
Ted didn't call or email me AT ALL, I had to call him the Friday before court and ask what was happened get and he said he had his assistant email me, which they didn't, but to meet on Monday to sign all of the papers so that I could be on the diversion program. I was very excited about this news. That Monday I go to see ted and on the papers it says you must not have a record to be on diversion, I pointed this out, and ted was very confused, although we had been over the fact that I did I fact have a record many times. He had his assistant print out the report from my other court dates when I was there, I was thinking the whole time "I thought I wasn't supposed to worry and you were going to take care of this?!" Basically ted was very unorganized, unprepared, and made many promises throughout my time with him that he didn't keep whatsoever. I will not be using Mr. Saulter Again, and I wish I would have gotten a cheaper lawyer because the outcome of court would have been the exact same if I would have found a nice $300-$-900 lawyer. I will never recommend ted to any of my friends, or enemies if I'm being completely honest.

I hired Mr. Daum on an employee related matter. He presented himself like he knew what he was doing, but I could tell he was bluffing and went to another attorney to handle. It's been over a year and still no refund of my retainer that was put down. I have called his office literally 30 times looking for my money. Looks like I'll be hiring another attorney!

Anthony D'Aurio was a great lawyer for me in my personal injury case. He really listened and spent time going over the process with me. He and his staff were very knowledgeable, and I always felt like I was in good hands, and they were on top of things. I got a good result for my case, and would definitely use him again. He was great!

Jennifer and her staff were wonderful until I paid her. They never had their crap together. Even sent me paperwork with my name on it, but other people's information in it. I would have to ask several times for paperwork to be filed. She didn't fight for me in court. Not sure what I paid $4000 for. I guess so she could get a new Louis. I asked multiple times for finalizd paperwork after we went to court and never received it. I finally stopped asking. I regret the day I hired her.

Jennifer is a sloppy lawyer who lies and bases information off word of mouth instead of really digging deeper her own self. She stays on her phone more than she pays attention and also tries to humiliate people on facts of assumption rather than truth. The bar really needs to look into her practices and dismiss her!

I contact on of the advertised law firms that you consistently hear about on tv and radio. (Unable to remember the exact name cause it been over three years). However I was partnered with Rolnick and Associates and at first it all seem like I was going get the best help for my worker's comp case. (Big shout out to professionalism of Kiesha Hayes.) Because of the length of the case that gave my case to Steven Campos for a new set of eyes I was told. I was able to witness that Kiesha forward my mileage sheet to Steven and when I asked through email about he claim to never receive it. Steven is so unprofessional, does not listen of take in all the information you try to relay to him. I asked him multiple times to return my call to a specific number and does not. Steven also attacked my character over something I feel he should have been able to determine and educated me. After I inform Mr. Rolnick about Steven's unprofessionalism; Mr. Rolnick called me and asked do I want to settle my case. I asked what the result of my FCE suggests? Mr. Rolnick said he has not seen my FCE and will go off what the surgeon recommended in which Mr. Rolnick said that it was a return to full duty. Upon further investigation I found that my orthopedist agreed with the result of my FCE. I am expect to settle my case without all the information need to make an informed decision. I have repeatedly been asked to be educated on the results of my FCE. It's been radio silence other than that my case has been settled.

Mr. Tucker gave me a false sense of hope that he could handle my case. I had video of my 1st,4th,and 5th amendment rights being violated and he didn't even look at the video. When my wife called him he told her he would have me out of jail where I never should have been when we had a motion to suppress hearing in a few weeks . He wasn't ready so it was postponed for another 2 months and he wasn't ready again. Then finally after being locked up for 11 months we had the hearing and he said there was nothing he could do . He plain and simply sold me out. No question about it. I finally had to cut a deal myself with the day while he stood there talking with the judge like they were bff's and later did the same with the da. He took my mom money and my wife's money and they were both struggling to make ends meet at the time and he did absolutely nothing. He's very moody and if he don't know u or someone who does u better get a boat paddle bc he will sell u down the river. I even told him that the police and the DA were lying and I had proof but he said it wouldnt help me. I finally showed the parole board my case and they in turn sent me straight to a work place to make money and shortly after released me. He never even offered to refund my people's money. I hope if u have a criminal case and don't have much money u leave this guy alone. I hope u listen. Thiggpin out of waycross helped me get my case be gone. Call him if u want a lawer

MR. TUCKER HAS REPRESENTED MY INTERESTS BOTH PERSONALLY AND IN BUSINESS (since 1995), with POSITIVE RESULTS IN MY FAVOR EACH AND EVERY INSTANCE. Mr. Tucker is professionally the most exemplary attorney I've worked with in real estate matters, personal injury, workman's compensation, and general business law. Mr. Tucker knows the law, without question.
Bottom line is if you want your case to be represented at the highest standard, chose an attorney whom can fairly assess your case and provide the proper recommendations and course of action, to ultimately win your case.
Passing the bar for admission to practice is one hurdle and all lawyers do not operate at the same level of competency. You may have the tightest case ever, but if your attorney doesn't have your best interests at heart, you could still lose. Hire someone with the courage to win, the intellect to present your case impeccably to the Court and the drive to gain optimal results. When the Court renders its' opinion, the only two words you want to hear are
"WE WON."

I contacted Herman Tunsil in June 2024 regarding a civil matter. Despite being out of the country at the time, Herman promptly responded to my inquiry—something other local attorneys failed to do. This level of responsiveness immediately set him apart.
Herman’s knowledge and strategic approach were impressive. He thoroughly explained various options, highlighting the pros and cons of each without trying to influence my decision. He was prepared to work hard regardless of the path I chose, showing true dedication to my case.
Thanks to Herman’s efforts, my case was dismissed with prejudice, which was the exact outcome I was hoping for. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a competent and committed attorney.

I did a bankruptcy under Herman Tunsil. I'm sorry, but he did a poor job on my case. He seemed to be a nice person, but the service is what I'm reviewing. I started my case with him in Jan 2014. We did not complete my bankruptcy until May 2016. Is that not 2 years! He kept putting off meetings which I can understand sometimes, but for a bankruptcy to not be completed for 2 years is ridiculous. Fast forward and I'm thinking that everything was finalized in August 2015. I did my part with all the paperwork and submitted everything. The debt management course was completed also. I thought nothing else had to be done, but come to find out, his office had never forwarded the course certificate to the court office. I found this out in March because something in the back of my mind told me to check to see why I never got a confirmation from the court office. He responds to my e-mail saying they dropped the ball. At this point, I'm really upset because now this has pushed the discharge back several months and the court tells me we have to pay a late fee. I'm not paying it. So they ended up paying it and it was finalized in May 2016. I told my friend about doing a bankruptcy and the lawyer she got did it in 3 months. Go figure.

I ought to report this joke to Georgia Bar Association, I was served on June 3 2019 to appear in court for a TPO hearing on June 12, 2019 so i needed a lawyer within 9 days if not i wouldn’t have hired this joke.
After losing my TPO hearing i was served with a divorce papers so i retained him that was one of my very worst decisions ever!! I was giving a bi-weekend visitations,the first visitation was for Father’s Day and she didn’t bring my kids,Mr Todd told me to file a motion for contempt,he charged me $1000 for that,I thought it was a good suggestion until we got to court,this man was sleeping and snoring in the court,I have to wake him up twice in the court,the people were laughing in the court, that was when i first realized that i made a big mistake,after the hearing Mr Todd lost the case woefully and i was ordered to pay $2,400 attorney fee for the defense.
He told me that before my divorce comes up we would need 3 weeks to get everything together,he didn’t request for any discovery, he didn’t ask for anything from my ex wife but sending me their own discovery requests.
On January 23,2020 i received a call from Jillian advising me of my upcoming divorce on the 28th of January 2020, I was shocked i told her i thought you guys would prepare me ahead she gave me some bogus excuses so i implored her to see how she can make an excuse to the court and get another court day, I didn’t know that the opposing counsel had taken a leave of absence for that day so when i found out that the case had been rescheduled i took my time to find a REAL lawyer and fired the joke!
I hired Bardley McKnight law firm and my case has taken a better form ever since, this man never cared about the safety of my kids he just wanted to turn me to his ATM and mess up my case and kids life,don’t judge him by my review go and see some other people’s reviews on google,he is by far the very worst!!!

I lost both of my parents within three months of each other. First I was using our family attorney that we had used for decades but he was taking advantage of me. In my darkest of days he took advantage of me. He was taking advantage of my good nature. I said to myself, “This isn’t normal.” Who do we use now? My brother went online and talked to Joyce – she works for Mr. Todd. There was something about her that clicked and my brother told me that I must call and talk to Joyce. I used to be a police officer and I quit my job so I could take care of my parents. Everything was so confusing with the will and probate. I was terrified. Mr. Todd walked me through the entire process. He would not let me leave until he knew that I understood everything. Mr. Todd was personable, kind, and he took a personal interest in my case. He got the house transferred into my name. He never, ever once took advantage of me. He was very fair with me. This is how professional he is – Mr. Todd never once said an unkind word about the other attorney. He really is so kind. I immediately felt at ease with him. He introduced me to his daughter, Jillian, and she was great too. He was so kind to me – he always asked how I was doing. I was really upset when they passed. I was devastated. But Mr. Todd reminded me that it doesn’t have to be the end of the world. He spoke to me as a friend and not an attorney. This is an attorney who cares more about you that the bottom line. If it wasn’t for Joyce and her being so nice, I don’t know where I would even be right now. Everyone was so amazing.

The receptionist isn't friendly or professional and provided incorrect information to our client's mother. She told her that they were forbidden from accepting documents from anyone but attorneys. What about pro se defendants? It's horrible to tell people anything just to get them out of our face. Additional incorrect information was provided again when my assistant called. Finally, I called. The same incorrect information was being provided. When called on it, the receptionist put me on hold repeatedly and then finally referred me to the Sherrff's office (another wrong answer) when I asked for a supervising Chief ADA or Assistant Chief for those who handle the bond calendars. These calls were over 3 days. So, we are unsure if the same person was answering our questions or if there're are several untrained people answering the phone providing the public with misinformation.

This individual is, without a doubt, the most deceitful person I have ever encountered. He has scammed not only my family and friends but also myself on multiple occasions. He misrepresented the amounts of our settlements, providing each of us with only around $2,000 while keeping the remaining fundsfor himself. He is a skilled manipulator and a criminal who should face severe legal consequences. I sincerely hope he is held accountable and never has the opportunity to harm others as he has harmed my loved ones and me.

Excellent at writing bills and asking for more money via phone. Funds that are accumulated in your account will be completely drained to zero in the next bill. Invoices / bills seem to match the account balance or exceed with no balance remaining. Paul demands to be paid in advance and wants a positive balance in the account at all times. Working class people cannot afford to; nor are they accustomed to pay for legal services in ADVANCE, try that as a restaurant, a doctor, a plumber or a mechanic...not sure why any lawyer should operate in a different manner. My numerous medical problems / bills, auto repairs and hurricane Debbie and Helene damage to my home have drained me financially, and although Paul said he understood; he is most interested in his next payment...all about the $$$$. Paul uses all the correct words in conversation, but it is the actions and the billing that speak volumes to me as a former client. To me it seemed like he was charging me to keep him on a retainer as I got billed excessively after sending him emails relevant to my case as I wanted to keep him informed of the ongoing issues relevant to the case. When I explained to Paul that I would send more money after our call and when I got a bill, he became defensive and was upset explaining that he cannot operate that way. Although I always paid Paul every cent I owed him, he seemed insulted that I did not send him $$$$ before our upcoming scheduled phone conference later that day. Verbal legal information provided by Paul costs you dearly, and a phone call can cost up to $300 to get answers to relevant case issues. When you ask for copies / documentation of the staff meeting minutes that you are charged for on the bill... you won't get them as they did not happen. Last bill I got charged $5 for postage and his office never mailed me anything. Documents provided to him by Dept of Labor were not forwarded to me by his office, I missed a DOL appointment as I did not know where to go and with what Doctor it was scheduled as DOL did not send me the information. Pauls's time clock runs very fast, and he will mention midway through a call that we are 15 minutes into a conference call and after the call, the entire call according to the cell phone timer was less than 13 minutes total time. Although Paul Felser may have helped some people, he provided me some very expensive advice, did not forward DOL documentation, did not see my case to completion and was most concerned about extracting monies from my account. Paul mentions while is talking to you about the time that he spends preparing in advance by reading case notes before the next call and gives you the impression that he spends a lot of time preparing for each call in advance of each call. My impression on several occasions was that he had not read what I had sent him and was shooting from the hip as specific questions that I wanted answers to were not always addressed. Photo shows a youthful and energetic young man fresh out of law school, I speculate that this photo it is at least 30years old and not indicative of the elderly and moderately grumpy attorney focused on $$$ that you will be dealing with.
There are not many Workman's Comp lawyers in the SAV area, and you are rolling the dice selecting Paul Felser to represent you especially if you cannot afford to spend at least $300 a month at minimum in your legal account with him. I do not have a lot of experience with other lawyers to compare, but as a 60 year old disabled veteran I can state that I am not pleased with the service that I received from Paul Felser. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Paul Felser as a Workmans Compensation lawyer based on my experiences and the return that I got for all the money I spent.

Incompetent, unprofessional, and clearly more interested in responding to one-star reviews than in communicating with their clients. I reached out to Attorney Tipton-Downie at the beginning of June for assistance with my disability case (which was already sitting at over 600+ days due to mishandling by the SSA) and appeal. This attorney had come to me highly recommended by a member of my family who had done business with her before. Over a month after submitting my case to the practice for review, I still had received no word whatsoever. My family and I tried numerous times to contact Attorney Tipton-Downie, but were always met with some excuse (she's on lunch, out of the office, on vacation, out with COVID) and told that they weren't even sure if she had reviewed my case yet. After nearly three months with no contact from this attorney, I finally reached out to another law practice who was EXTREMELY courteous and professional; not only did they contact me immediately when I reached out for assistance, they were able to personally review my case with me and readily accepted.
About two weeks after getting the assistance of a professional practice, I actually received a letter from Attorney Tipton-Downie in the mail stating that, "We were unable to open the disc with your records from social security. Please obtain another copy if you'd like us to review your case." After nearly THREE MONTHS of no contact, I receive a 4-sentence letter telling me something that should have been communicated LONG before and would have only taken a simple phone call from someone at the practice. Because they were incapable of accessing a simple disc, I was met with silence; the disc was later tested and found to work perfectly fine. I genuinely can not comprehend the sheer level of incompetence and lack of compassion demonstrated by Attorney Tipton-Downie. Thank you for letting me down when I was at my most vulnerable and needed a helping hand. Not only have you lost my respect, but also the business of one of your own clients who formerly sang your praises. I do hope you reflect on your attitude towards your clients; we are all disappointed in you. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors because it is apparent that you will need it.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Today is July 8, 2020, this law firm was recommend to me by word of mouth. I had back surgery on June 3, 2020 and was not able to drive from Savannah, Ga to Vidalia, Ga unless I had a driver. I contact the office and spoke with Pamela concerning obtaining help with applying for disability. After a phone conversation and emailing the start up documents needed in order for the law office to assist myself with my claim. Less than a week after my surgery, I was able to get a ride from Savannah to Vidalia, Ga to drop off all needed paperwork so hopefully obtaining help with my case. Each week I called to check and see rather they needed anything else from myself to get my case rolling. Still nothing... no calls no emails no nothing Next day still nothing. Today I called to find out Pamela no longer works with this law firm. Each week I called and ask for Pamela and all I got was someone will return your call the next day. Today I went to the office to pick up all my paperwork and my disc of my records so I can seek help from another law firm. Today, I had to sit over 2 hours waiting on my paperwork only to be told the lawyer was on video calling. Professionally was horrible, no response concerning my case nor any type of communication what so ever in a month's time frame. This law firm was a Big Waste of my time for myself in the month time frame they had all my paperwork needed to start my case.

Attorney Virginia Patterson did work for me on several complicated real estate deals and represented me in a litigation lawsuit. I have 100% respect for her because she knows the law and gets results, every time! I've used attorneys from all over Savannah, GA to Augusta, GA and I come back to Mrs. Patterson every time. I would recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a loyal, honest, and dedicated attorney, whose prices are affordable and fair.

The District Attorney in Paulding County has everything to do with Deputy Michael McMaster's actions. They stand by and help the police abuse and physically assault innocent people. They also aid and guide the police department in filing false police reports. This is a criminal organization akin to a GANG and needs to be maliciously dismantled by the public of Paulding County before they hurt more innocent people.

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.
