My experience with this team was so awesome. This is the best law firm that I have ever dealt with. They were very professional and knowledgeable on every question that I had about my case. I was kept well informed on things about my case. This entire team was so very confident and was absolute amazing. Mr. Owens very kind and helpful and always kept my case straight forward. I would definitely recommend this law firm to anyone who needs a great attorney and their team. My experience with this team with a rating from 1-10 with a 10 being the greatest, it was 11 without question because of being the greatest. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE!!!!!

I have worked with several law firms in the past, as a paralegal, and the services we received from Montlick & Associates were truly exceptional. They were on top of every detail of my case, from my very first phone call. We really appreciated the way they really wanted to understand and consider every detail of what happened and our injuries, to do the best job possible. And when the adjuster gave them a lowball offer, they stood strong and fought hard to get us what we deserved. We were kept well informed, they always gladly answered by questions and were great about returning our phone calls. My husband and I felt that they treated us more like family or close friends. You just don't get that kind of service anymore, and we are so grateful. In our book, Montlick & Associates are the best auto accident attorneys in Atlanta, hands down!

Montlick & Assoc got the job done on my case. The attorneys at Montlick & Associates treat you like family and really worked my case beyond all my expectations. I really didn't want to hire a law firm, but I was getting pushed around by the insurance company and decided that I needed an experienced firm to handle my case. The best decision I ever made. The second best decision was calling for a free case review with the Montlick & Assoc. I pretty much didn't have to do much after the first call. They handled everything and got me a more then fair settlement in no time. Wow! I just had to say thanks to Montlick & Assoc. Don't try it alone and choose an experienced firm like Montlick & Assoc and you will be happy you did.

Mr. Parker made the bankruptcy process easy and very painless. I had lived with a crippling amount of debt for over ten years and felt that I deserved a fresh start. After the free consultation call I felt confident that Mr. Parker was the right attorney for me. He helped determine that I was eligible for Chapter 7. He made me feel comfortable and explained everything about the bankruptcy process in a clear and concise way that I understood, without all the confusing legal jargon one might expect from the court system. I lived with a lot of shame as a result of my debt. After meeting with him the first time I was able to provide a huge box of bills that had piled up over the years and he painstakingly went through every single document to compile my bankruptcy petition. As of yesterday, all of my debt has been discharged, and I'm very pleased by Mr. Parker's services. I'm finally free of the burden of excess debt and happy to have a clean slate! I would highly recommend Mr. Ken Parker if you're considering filing bankruptcy.

Two years ago I used Ken Parker for my bankruptcy. My case went without a single problem. Ken was courteous, informative, and patient with my lack of knowledge. He was quick to return my phone calls and emails. I felt confident in his expertise and trusted that everything would go well. But what I really want to say is about a conversation we had just last week. I am thinking of buying a new car and so I called Ken to see if there was anything I should know. He gave me considerable (free!) time on the phone and did not insist that I make an appointment. But best of all, even from two years ago he remembered who I was and was able to find the details of my case easily. I was very impressed with his friendliness and willingness to help me, even two years later. I would very much recommend Ken Parker.

Ms. Barrett took the time to go over what would and would not be handled in the bankruptcy and helped me make sense of it all. I honestly don't know if I would have gotten through the whole ordeal with out her.

I had a deeply frustrating experience with Sell & Melton that left me feeling neglected and stressed. Despite their promises, the firm consistently failed to communicate effectively and follow through on important matters. This resulted in significant delays and a sense of uncertainty during an already challenging time for me. The lack of professionalism and reliability was disappointing, and I wouldn't recommend their services to anyone seeking dependable legal assistance.

I had a profoundly disappointing experience with Sell & Melton. From the outset, the firm's communication was severely lacking, with calls and emails often going unanswered for days. When responses did come, they were often terse and uninformative, leaving me feeling neglected and uninformed about the status of my case. The firm failed to provide the guidance and support I expected, and their apparent lack of interest in my concerns was both frustrating and disheartening. Moreover, the legal advice and representation I received were subpar. Critical deadlines were missed, and important details were overlooked, which adversely affected the outcome of my case. Despite their high fees, the quality of service was significantly below expectations. This experience not only cost me financially but also caused considerable emotional distress. I would strongly advise against using Sell & Melton for any legal needs, as their lack of professionalism and diligence was evident throughout my dealings with them.

I hired Doug to make sure my workers comp. case was handled properly. He exceeded my expectations in many ways. When I contacted him I had been going through the case alone for almost 2 years. I thought it was pretty much wrapped up the doctors were pretty much done with what they could do at my age. I just had to live with the rest until science advanced was my answer. When I hired Doug that answer was not good enough for him. He got me sent to better doctors in Atlanta and which all in all ended in a better result and I received a spinal cord stimulator which helped a lot more then being told to deal with it till science advances. Doug is very thorough and knowledgeable with his craft. If I could go back and do it again the only thing I would change is I would hire him sooner!

Seeing a loved one suffer has to be one of the worst things that can happen. Attorney Doug Kaleita first and foremost wants you to be taken care of medically as well as financially. He took time to look at every avenue available to assist my son with finding a way to relieve his chronic pain from his work related injury. With Doug you are not a number, you are a person. He is in this business to help people and after our experience with Doug I truly believe this 100%.

I was not going to comment out of respect to a friend who does a lot of business with you all, but since you responded I will. I respectfully deny your request to call. If I do call, I will not get an answer. The same thing goes for an email. If we do talk, you will not listen to what I am communicating to you. If I am ever forced to do business with you all again, it will only be out of respect to the person I am referring to who prefers to close with you. Maybe the process will go better when you realize who that is. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of people who treat people based off who they think they are. You either practice equality or you do not, there is no in between. I can only speak on my experience. You do have some great people working with you. I wish you all the best. God bless.

Casey Stevens was my personal injury attorney for a fatal car accident that my 12 year old and I were involved in. It was a devastating experience and my son and I both sustained serious injuries. I was referred to Mr. Stevens by a respected attorney in Atlanta whose advice I trusted. I was not familiar with the litigation process whatsoever and was unnerved by the entire ordeal. Mr. Stevens immediately put me at ease. He listened patiently as I explained what transpired during the accident and went over all of my options. Although his office was bustling, he treated me as though I was the most important client that he had. I wanted to settle everything as quickly as possible to put the incident behind me and move on. Mr. Stevens and his office were extremely thorough and moved swiftly and efficiently. My son and I had two separate cases and because of Mr. Stevens' expertise and diligence we were both awarded large sums that made us feel as though we were compensated sufficiently to justify the short term and long term mental and physical injuries we sustained. I was lucky to have someone who truly cared about me and my son, as our advocate with the insurance company. I have referred several people that I know to Mr. Stevens and I would highly recommend Mr. Stevens to anyone who was in a similar situation or even a more serious one. He will not back down and will fight for you until you are satisfied with the outcome.

John did a great job presenting the facts and defending me when my neighbor was shot. This required outside the box thinking that John did well. As Defense lawyers go, I would put him in close to the top 10%. A good lawyer is not cheap, but will worth it in our corrupt Justice system. John and I worked as a team, which I liked since it was my future at stake. John got to know me as a person and not just a name (or checking account number). He was open to my ideas on how to prove the accusers were lying. One must realize that lawyers are also actors and must impress the jury. John was good. I would use him again if I needed an attorney.

My names is Ismeta and Mr. Maniscalco has been representing my husband for 21 years. My husband had a traumatic brain injury when he was struck in the head by a metal object at work. My husband was only 41 years old and I was only 36 at the time of his injury. We lived in an apartment with our two young children (ages 11 and 17). We had immigrated to the United States from our country due to a civil war and we had only been in the United States for two years when my husband suffered his life changing injury. The insurance company denied my husband’s treatment claiming that it was pre-existing. Mr. Maniscalco fought the insurance company every step of the way and literally saved my husband’s life. Mr. Maniscalco has given our family another chance and if it was not for his legal expertise my children would for sure be left without a father at a very young age. The surgeries that my husband needed were absolutely necessary for him to continue to live and were something that we could have never afforded. After my husband’s accident, our lives were turned upside down (financially, emotionally and in every possible sense). We did not know the rules and laws of Workers Comp but Mr. Maniscalco helped us navigate the system and get my husband to the right doctors. We cannot thank Mr. Maniscalco enough and there are no words to express our gratitude for all his hard work that he has done and that he continues to do, we are forever indebted to him. He has never given up on us or gotten tired of representing us and he has continued to fight for us just as he did on day one. To have a client for 21 years with such a complex injury and for us to never have one single complaint is truly an accomplishment, we highly recommend Mr. Maniscalco to anyone that has a legal need. He is very knowledgeable and very well respected among the medical professionals that we have dealt with. Most of all, he is extremely compassionate and cares very much about his clients and he has been our only light throughout this whole ordeal.

After my accident, Nola and her team were a huge help. They took the time to listen and genuinely cared about helping me get back to my life. Whenever I had questions or needed assistance, Nola was always there to explain the process and make sure I understood. I’m truly grateful for all the hard work that Werner Law put into my case. I highly recommend them if you've been in an accident!

Michael Werner is a superior diligent attorney who goes beyond the obvious. His thorough review of my head-on accident quantified details not initially apparent to change the initial incident into serious case. My case was unchallenged with a significant settlement. I highly recommend his services ! Chuck Wronka

Last year 07/10/15 I hired Mr. Morgan Medders to represent me in a criminal case. Prior to having representation, I was depressed and uncertain , not knowing where to look or to go but as I looked on Google for lawyers , I ended up finding angels in disguise. When I talked to Mr. Medders on July 10th of last year he made me feel way better about my situation and calmed me down when I would get un easy. My case was dismissed thanks to the incredible work of Mr. Morgan Medders and all of the Cohen Law Firm attorney's. Mr. Medders proved my innocence and I will forever be grateful to him. I consider Mr. Morgan Medders and The Cohen Law Firm as family, and I highly recommend them to represent you. Thank You.

After working with Attorney Rucker I can firmly attest that he is the absolute best litigation and Trial Attorney in the state. My case was dropped by a prior Attorney so to reach the final outcome of a very successful jury verdict of $250,000 from an injury feels like total vindication. I would not have this outcome if it were not for his personal expertize, determination and regard that he showed to my situation from the moment I retained him. No other Attorneys in the state would take my difficult case. Watching him in court I witnessed a truly smart professional who is a master of his craft. He cares and he has a powerful skillset as a litigator that he utilizes to his clients greatest advantage in order to ensure that his clients no longer have to suffer from the many impacts of an injury caused by another.

Ryan was confident that he could obtain the necessary evidence to win my case and he did! He is the truly one of the best litigators in the State. The jury awarded me over $175,000.00!! Needless to say, I recommend Attorney Rucker to you if you want to win...BIG!

Efficiency accompanied by courtesy is a rare combination in today's world.

When I had questions concerning anything I was provided with detailed explanations and personal assistance. Such concern is refreshing and should become more widespread in the legal community.

Attorney Wilburn represented my sister and brother-in-law in a car accident case. From the moment they stepped into her office until she won the case for them, I was told nothing but good things about her. The entire time she worked on their case, my sister spoke so highly of her. She stated that she had never known an attorney who was as nice and caring as Attorney Wilburn. Not only was she relatable and down to earth, she was a shark of an Attorney who was very knowledgeable in her areas of expertise.

I am very thankful to have had Clyde Rickard and Jessica Nix as my attorneys for my personal injury case. I started with another firm that wouldn't even return my calls, I could never go to their office (not sure they had an office) the only time I would here from them or their paralegal was to sign papers and it was always to meet this woman in a parking lot and ALWAYS told to sign papers, sign here, sign there and it was all done out of the back of her van which was more than scary. That happened twice, one too many times for me, also I was in constant pain they (the other atty) never helped me as far as my medical attention. And then by the Grace of God I fell right into the lap of Clyde Rickard and Jessica Nick and after a meeting with Clyde and Jessica and them telling me that should have happened but we're not happening with or for me at all. So for me the best move I ever made was to fire them(the other atty) and hired Clyde and Jessica within 2 days I was seeing a doctor that helped me greatly with my pain. I was always kept informed about what was going on with my case and my calls were always answered and returned, any problems that may have come went straight to them and we're handled immediately and again I was always constantly informed about what was going on with my case. And when it came down to the settlement Clyde is a MASTER NEGOTIATOR!!!! My settlement was more than satisfactory for me and definitely more than I expected!!!!!! I was completely floored but forever thankful and grateful to them I would advise anyone if you have an accident or a slip-and-fall you should call no PLEASE CALL Clyde and Jessica immediately don't wait they can get you the help you need, they can send you to an excellent doctor for pain management without having to wait weeks to be seen and they are constantly and always in touch with you, you will always know what's going on with your case. And be assured you will be more than happy satisfied and the more than pleased as I am with the rare professional and caring services these attorneys (Clyde and Jessica) will provide you. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! RICKARD & NIX (CLYDE & JESSICA) Y'ALL ARE ROCK STARS!!!!!!!!!!

We recently moved here from Wisconsin. I was waiting on an appeal from Wisconsin along with my Wisconsin attorney. The decision came in stating my case go back to the Administrative Judge here in Georgia. My Wisconsin lawyer decided he did not wish to proceed here with my case and dismissed himself after almost 4 years. I was shocked. What to do now? I started making phone calls for SSD Attorneys here explaining my case. Not knowing many people let alone any attorney's here, it was a hard find. I contacted attorney's via a Google search. I met with a few, but was either told they did not feel my case was winnable or I just flat out did not like them. Then I met Leonard. I spent about 2 hours in his office in our 1st meeting. He was very likable and knowledgeable. My new hearing was coming up soon and I needed a lawyer, but I was not going to settle for anyone. My future was hanging in the balance. Leonard made me feel welcome and explained to me that this was not going to be easy and we had our work cut out for both of us. His honesty and truthfulness helped with my decision. I felt comfortable and hired Leonard. Many meetings later and tons of paperwork coming in from Wisconsin, our hearing date was set. It may have been a bit overwhelming for Leonard, but he never complained. Always reminding me, this is going to be difficult Joe. I liked that about him. He always gave me a feeling that he knew more then he was letting onto. Me, I was helping with getting things ordered from Wisconsin and we both settled in for a long hearing. I was hopeful having all our paper work in order as well as all the doctors notes. With Leonard beside me, I knew we had a good case. A winnable case! Long story short, We Won That Hearing! We won that hearing on Jan 15,2015. Leonard never gave up, nor did I. To Leonard, should you read this, Thank you sir. To anyone reading this review, should you ever need an attorney who will fight for you, give this man a chance. He will not disappoint you.

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.
