Mrs. Choi is truly a knowledgeable attorney who understands the law, has a heart to help people, and is characterized by integrity. I sought her help with some contract issue regarding rental agreements and she was very patient to give me informed advice. She didn't charge me to for the initial consultation and was very willing to help me resolve the issue. Her experience with the law was instrumental in helping me make the best decision about my legal options. I would confidently recommend Mrs. Choi for consultation for any legal problems.

Recently got into a car accident and needed good representation. Came across the Saleh Group while searching and reached out. Rony took my case and got me the compensation that was owed. Everything was done in a timely manner and had constant communication with him. Would definitely use them in the future and highly recommend them to anyone needing an attorney for any matter.

I worked with 3 different useless companies until I decided to go with Harmony Tax. They know what they are doing and was able to help me with filing my 4 years of tax and settle the debt I have with the IRS. I will stick with them from now on.

First time going through a law experience due to being involved in a car accident. I chose to move forward with Rony, because he was kind, trustworthy, and honest. I had no idea how the process is done but he explained to me the process and was very communicative. He kept me informed of every step he was going to proceed with. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. I appreciate his hard work and dedication, I received a settlement that exceeded my expectations! I would recommend going with the Saleh Law Group (Rony) moving forward to everyone!

I had lost faith in getting legal representation for my injury I sustained. Meeting Gary and his team restored my faith and he was always available to answer my questions. I am grateful for the outcome and grateful for their professionalism and would recommend my friends and family.

I recently reached out to Jackson and Jackson, almost not expecting a reply because of the insignificance of the claim involved -- only to have Mr. Gary Jackson himself call me within minutes. He not only advised me on how I could handle the claim myself, Mr. Jackson also took the time to educate me on the process involved in submitting my claim and even clarified several points on which I had been misinformed and misled in my conversations with Worker's Compensation. He informed me that, to my surprise, I was actually entitled to a fixed settlement amount in addition to the bare minimum I had been led to believe I could collect. I am certain I never would have learned of this on my own.
I am beyond grateful for Mr. Jackson's invaluable counsel, but I find the kindness and respect with which he treated me, knowing he would not be representing me, simply overwhelming. Mr. Gary Jackson is the absolute best in my book, and I highly recommend his firm.

Mr. Hill has been a blessing for my family. His calm demeanor kept me reassured through my whole process. Mr. Hill's determination to fight for me and not let me be taken advantage of made me feel safe. Although things popped up that scared me, Matt never wavered. His ethics and morals are encouraging and I know that I came out on top because of him. He is a God send and I'm so thankful that he was there to represent me.

I've never been hurt and needed a lawyer why I tell you what it was not that long for him I would not recommend wasting your phone call absolutely terrible customer service and the reviews I see just a terrible law firm.

BEWARE !! This law firm Lyle tried to force us into an early settlement. I said I'm not even released from my doctor or had my surgery yet. My wife questioned him in regards do they have our best interest in mind or are they broke and have their own interest in mind. Become very defensive and rude and then withdrew from our case causing much more problems for us. So don't make our mistake and hire this company that will quit on you. Stay away. I wish I could publish the emails that they sent me. Do Not hire this company

I used to work at a big company for over 17 years.. got injured and need an attorney... what I did was asked some of my fellow peers to recommend a attorney which they did... most of them at the company used this 1 workman's comp injury attorney so I called the attorney and explain my case.... and in about 5 quick seconds I was told "I didn't have much of a case and there was nothing there that he could help me with"... so what I decided i'd do was to go on workman's comp lawyer site and explain some of my case and send it out to several attorneys and what I got back was "screening services" if you don't know what a "screening service" is... those are the employees that work for the attorney that get the case basics on these sites...then give the person in need of services a call and have them explain the details of the case... then what they do is tell you "we'll give this to the attorney and will call you to let you know if you have a case" so several of these attorneys "screening services that actually called me back... ALL basically said the same thing "you have nothing there... there's not much of a case?( can you believe this)... and then I got a call from ONE attorney... I REPEAT ONE actual attorney Lyle Foz... he took the time out of his busy client schedule to listen to me go over the case.. I told him detail by detail as I did the others... he stated to me that he believed there was something there and he with my permission would like to take my case on.... I said "you know you're the only one that actually called me back personally"...I give permission to take my case and I never regretted it... what I got was a "genius of an attorney" not only does he work for the client (common person) but he also works for the defendants(big companies) so he has the expertise in both areas and avenues of what happens in day-to-day work comp case on BOTH SIDES.... I was extremely blessed and fortunate to have him on my side.... not only did he practically take apart the defense... he even got a lot of big obstacles moved out of the way so my case was settled And over in 1yr & 8mths... whereas when little people take on big companies.. cases can drag out for over 5 years... he was right on time(thorough) very personable and extremely extremely knowledgeable... so if I were you.... I would definitely PAY HEED to this review and give Mr. Foz a call... you'll WON'T ever regret it!!

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.
