I hired Attorney Beer for two work injury cases. I found his service to be excellent. He explained difficult legal jargon and concepts and made it make sense to me. He is a compassionate and caring attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone for any work injury, personal injury, or other legal matter.

18 Dec, 2015 by Rick

Fred was on top of my case at all times, he always answered all my questions and always got back to me in a timely manner. I feel as if Fred went above and beyond his duties for me on my WC case. I highly recommened Fred Beer's to be your attorney!

03 Dec, 2015 by Chad

The workers comp process is a lot more difficult than I would have ever imagined and I am glad to have found a good lawyer. Attorney Fred Beer help guide me through a long a difficult time. His advice and knowledge help to ease the stress and allow me to focus on my recovery. He answered all of my questions and handled my concerns from beginning to end. All e-mails and phone calls were returned promptly and any issues were addressed right away. In addition he kept me well informed as to what would or may come next, staying on top of the situation all of the time. Being properly advised of my rights I was able to get the best treatment possible and he even helped me to research doctors that were well suited to treat my injuries. After any procedures Attorney Beer followed up to make sure I was doing well and that everything went well. From day one he made sure I received a fair wage during my time off and stayed on top of the insurance company when they fell behind in payments. He also made sure all medical bills were taken care of and in the end got me a fair settlement. All in all I would recommend him to anyone that has to go through the workers comp process. A competent attorney that will always look out for your best interest.

Jason took me through my bankruptcy case. At such a difficult time, he was extremely understanding and compassionate about my situation. He also made sure I was prepared for all the things that would or could come up throughout the process. Because of this, nothing in the process felt like a painful surprise, which made it much easier to get through psychologically. He was readily available to answer my questions, made me feel comfortable even asking potentially dumb questions, and had tremendous patience. With other professionals, you can sometimes feel like the lawyer etc is trying to keep your appointment as short as possible and they want to move on already to their next client. Jason took his time, never made me feel rushed. He also went above and beyond in so many ways. For instance, he drove all the way out to the south suburbs to meet me in person for our first meeting. He also called ahead to the courthouse because I was concerned that they might not let me bring my laptop. I had no expectation nor had I asked him to do those things - he just offered/did them for me. I highly, highly recommend Jason Shimotake.

Jason was my attorney in my case , He was able to get my case explained and work out a reasonable payment plan for my chapter 13 bankrupsy, He is very professional and i would reccomend him to others .

I hired Craig for a disability pension case. Craig walked my wife and me through every step of the process. Whenever we had questions, Craig got back to us in a very timely manner, most times we received an answer the same day. Craig took the stress out of the legal process, which we can't thank him enough for. We couldn't be more satisfied with his work and genuine kind heart.

02 Apr, 2018 by Anonymous

Craig and his staff were professional and responsive. They answered all questions we had without delay and handled our claim in a professional and efficient manner. We would surely recommend him to any of our friends or family who needed an attorney for workers comp or employment/labor issues. Top notch firm! Thanks for everything.

02 Mar, 2018 by Anonymous

Craig is a very skilled and gifted W/C attorney who was able to navigate the BS my employer was selling after a work place injury. He provided upfront case information, face to face meetings were easy to book, and was able to reach a reasonable settlement. His open and honest no none sense demeanor made a difficult situation manageable. I hope to never go through this again but Craig would be my choice again. Thank u to Craig and to Kerri his assistant.

Howard and the all the staff at Warner and Zimmerle made a concerted effort to ease our family through a long and difficult legal process. Their professionalism and caring had a profound effect on how we made it through the a difficult and at times painful deposition with opposing council. They made sure we understood the complexities of the task we were undertaking. They went out of their way to make sure our many questions were answered and our concerns were addressed along the way. We were very pleased with the outcome of the issue and very happy with the Howard’s efforts throughout.

13 May, 2020 by Michael

There are many attorneys in the Southwest Suburbs and then there is George J. Jasinski. I was fortunate enough to retain Mr. Jasinski to represent me in a serious workmen's compensation injury claim. I was injured in a fall at work, and required two knee replacements. I was deemed unable to return to my original line of work by my treating doctor. Mr. Jasinski and his staff assisted me over the 3-year pending period of my case, and always were very helpful when I needed assistance in obtaining medical authorization or follow-up relative to my TTD benefits. They always returned my telephone calls in a timely manner and went above and beyond to assist me. Mr. Jasinski then negotiated my case and was able to obtain a very impressive settlement on my behalf, including obtaining open medical as a part of my settlement for future treatment I will require. Mr. Jasinski is compassionate and empathetic, and has his clients' best interest at heart. He consistently achieves successful outcomes, as he did for me. I am truly grateful for all of the legal professionalism he provided to me. Michael T.

I had a accident and was unable to take care of my case so I was watching tv one morning and Bridget's commercial came on. I decided to contact her and was so glad I did. She was very clear with me about my case all along and we finished with a case I understood and was very grateful for her help. She made it go smooth for me and took away the headaches of dealing with medical things, and expences.

I was the victim of an auto crash and hired Lawler and Lawler to represent me after seeing their ad on TV. I met with Raymond Lawler for the initial consult. He was very direct and to the point in explaining the whole process. My case was then assigned to Bridget Lawler. I had never experienced any of this before and she was great at answering any and all of my questions in detail about everything involved with filing a personal injury case. She spoke on a level I understood and didn't try to talk above me or below my level of comprehension. She also tried to get my case resolved as quickly as possible. I received a fair settlement in the end thanks to her.

Nick is an excellent Work Comp attorney. Nick is not afarid to take on the insurance company on a disputed claim.. Nick will get the full value for your case or go to trial, The claim was denied. Nick took the case to trial and was awarded more than what he had made a demand for prior to trial.

Shaun Cusack had been my lawyer for a couple car accidents over the years and did excellent work! I work in law enforcement and ended up on the other side of the law. I called Shaun, he took my case without hesitation. Shaun went over and beyond to have my case dismissed! If you want results with a dismissed verdict, Shaun Cusack is the lawyer you want on your team!!!!

24 Nov, 2020 by Gabe

I was in contract to purchase a home and the inspection yielded the discovery of active termites. I followed up with pest and structural inspections to get estimates for repairs. The repairs exceeded the $1500 threshold that provides an option for the seller to withdraw and receive earnest money back if they should choose. After deciding to cancel the contract, the seller's agent refused to acknowledge the cancellation claiming that I "obtained these estimates fraudulently." She also suggested that earnest money should not be returned to me and proceeded to slander myself and my agent. Unable to resolve this dispute I decided to hire Shaun to enforce the real estate contract as written. Shaun immediately reviewed all the pertinent details and provided me with the confidence need to resolve this dispute quickly. He began the intervention with the seller's agent providing the facts of the situation and the contract itself. After 24 hours after speaking with the seller's agent, the entire concern was dropped from their side, the cancellation had been accepted and earnest money scheduled to return. Shaun Cusack's sense of urgency, attention to detail, and application of the law are unmatched. I would recommend him every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

24 Sep, 2019 by Anonymous

I was wrongfully expelled from grad school for a conviction that wasn't on my record. Mr. Cusack represented me in both cases with the utmost : professionalism, diligence, and care. Mr. Cusack puts his clients first he is upfront, honest, and realistic. He is strives to do what is right, and will not stop until he gets the best outcome for his client. I would highly recommend Mr. Cusack for any: personal injury, criminal defense, or workers compensation.

I was involved in a Hit and Run auto accident and suffered a serious shoulder injury and had to have surgery.

I have to say my whole experience with Mr. Springer and his office from start to finish was absolutely smooth. He took his time and answered all my questions and every time I emailed him I heard right back from him. On top of everything the fee's he charges is great and nowhere around you'll find them this cheap. I highly recommend Dan Springer and his office for all your needs for a lawyer. Thanks again Mr. Springer........

12 Feb, 2015 by David

I found the Springer Law Firm on line and called them up. I was able to have questions resolved over the phone. After meeting with Mr Springer I was told of my options and was not pressured into anything. The consultation was free even though I didn't file. I had checked out other firms and was surprised to find out how much they charged. I even asked him how much it would be before I chose to not file. He had told my the price and I was surprised at how much less it would have been to go through him. I highly recommend this firm! They are the most affordable, with the highest quality of work (at least what I experienced). They were always responsive and proved to be knowledgeable. I hate to think how much I could have paid if I was convinced to file with another law firm. It's nice to know there are people out there that don't try to take advantage of you.

John handled a slip and fall case for me. I fell at my apartment building and the landlord was not doing anything about it. I'm lucky I found John because he filed a lawsuit and did a really good job working the case. He had an expert visit the scene and do an inspection and take photos. The expert was really good and found code violations. We ended up settling the case for a lot of money and I'm very happy with John as my attorney.

However, thanks to Steven Morton, they are able to receive a consultation and additional legal support to help them address their legal problems.

Luckily, I came across this firm and they have made me realize how easy and smooth this process can be when you know what you're doing! Ed Gil was my lawyer and if there's one person who has helped more in going through the process of a closing, it's him! He was very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and a quick responder. Qualities that most lawyers at firms don't always have. Overall, I can tell their real estate department really works hard and well with their clients. I would recommend this firm to anyone.

I was already on a suspension from a previous DUI that I was found not guilty for. Someone somehow use my name for driving while my license was suspended . The court wanted me to plead guilty and gave me no chance to explain myself until I found this lawyer. He heard my story and we teamed up together and the court could never produce evidence to say that I was the one driving but they still tried to pursue me to give up my rights and agree to the fact that I was guilty but had no evidence. They dropped all charges thanks to John Fitzpatrick.

I cannot recommend Tim highly enough. For seven long years, he worked tirelessly on my workman's compensation case, navigating through every obstacle with remarkable skill and dedication. From the very beginning, Tim demonstrated an unmatched level of professionalism, knowledge, and compassion. Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed, answered all my questions, and provided me with the support I needed during some of the most challenging times of my life. What truly sets Tim apart is his unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients. Thanks to his expertise and persistence, we finally reached a resolution that was in my favor. I am incredibly grateful for the hard work and dedication he put into my case. If you are looking for a top-notch workman's compensation attorney who will go above and beyond for you, look no further than Tim. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your exceptional service and for standing by me every step of the way!

I highly recommend calling Mr. Deffet if you find yourself involved in a negative situation with a creditor and/or debt collections agency. Mr. Deffet provides one on one support and makes you feel comfortable and informed with every step of your case. His knowledge, confidence and persistance led to our case being dismissed (with prejudice) against one of the largest junk debt buyers in the country. If a collections agency summons you to court, call him ASAP.

Words cannot express my gratitude for what Attorney Michael Block has done for me with the worst workmans comp case and with the worst work comp insurance company ever! He worked diligently to represent me with tenacity and perseverance I myself found amazing. It has been 8 long years, and Michael remaind positive that we would prevail. I must also give credit to his assistant Diane, who help keep me sane during this case. She is the best. I am not saying this just because he won my case, I am saying this because it’s absolutely true. I have and will continue to highly recommend Michael Block to all of my family, friends, and aquientences. I am grateful that Michael Block is an excellent Attorney and was there to represent me.

Mr. Block was outstanding! He was thorough, explained everything the first day I met with him. For a very complicated workers compensation case he came through with the win. I cannot thank him enough.

I found him to be loyal and honest from start to finish...never wavering from positive results. The positive and outgoing energy of his staff was priceless. I am not saying this just because he won my case, I am saying this because it’s true. I have and will continue to highly recommend Michael Block to all of my family and friends. Michael Block is an excellent Attorney.

Tyler called me within 30 minutes of sending my message, and offered me a free consultation over the phone. He even called the next day to follow up with me to see if I needed anything else after his advice. I have not had to hire counsel yet, but if I do he has offered to take my case and I will definitely be hiring him if I need an attorney.

After being a passenger in a car accident, the insurance company barely wanted to cover medical costs. I hired Tyler and I was very happy with the outcome. I noticed a sign outside the building that the law firm also covered divorce cases. My then-husband was blocking my diy divorce proceedings, so I hired Tyler. He handled all of the difficult aspects and I got what I wanted.

My wife and I hired Mr. Dihle in an accident claim. He has prove very well versed in the law concerning the claim. He and his aid we're always pleasant and helpful in explain what could and could not be done. In the end he managed a very good settlement. I would highly recommend him to assist in others legal needs.

During our recent medical malpractice investigation, Scott took the mountain of paperwork from our case and found the details that mattered. All of this with quick response times and a friendly attitude. Would absolutely work with him again.

This young lawyer was amazingly brilliant with the case he helped me with. I feel that someone who is so well versed in many fields despite his one year experience, will become a super lawyer in the near future. I highly recommend him.

Thank you, Scott, for all your hard work and dedication to my small claims case. You were very professional, timely and personable. I appreciate you keeping me informed on every aspect of this claim. Once again, “Thank You” for being attentive to my needs!

I was referred to JKLF by Legalshield. I hired them to handle my divorce. Boyd Roberts along with his assistant Trudy went above and beyond my expectations. Trudy worked a lot of late hours drawing up paperwork and making sure everything was documented correctly. If she had a question she'd call me direct to verify. She's very respectful and a hard worker. Boyd is a no BS attorney but absolutely professional at the same time. He knows the law and uses it rather than getting angry and talking smack. We imposed sanctions 2 or 3 different times because my ex wife and her attorney were doing nothing to move it along. They weren't getting paperwork and documents to us that the judge ordered. We ended up settling outside of court, she agreed to a cash settlement and I kept my whole retirement account. Boyd and/or Trudy drew up the settlement agreement and still always promptly answered any questions i had. Boyd was always 2 steps ahead of her attorney thro the whole process even tho she filed the divorce. He was reasonable and fair, always knew what to expect and how to handle each situation. Thank you!

Mr. Kelly's ability to think outside the box is what sets him apart from the other attorneys I have met with.

17 Apr, 2013 by Lori

I am thoroughly impressed with Mr. Kelly's professionalism and willingness to fight for our interests. He is not your run-of-the-mill attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a competent, honest lawyer.

We lost our lawyer unexpectedly and needed representation on many matters. We also act rather quickly on some issues and Mr. VanEvera has filled those shoes. He also is a pleasure to work with - not so stuffy that you feel uncomfortable.

13 Jun, 2012 by Anonymous

Mr. Van Evera provided excellent service and was never too busy to spend the time making sure I understood the process as much as the goal. I never felt that I wasn't prepared or properly represented at all times. I would not hesitate to call on his expertise again.

21 May, 2012 by Mark

Mr. Van Evera has assisted me with several situations over many years. These have been family as well as business issues. I always find Dick to be insightful, knowledgeable, and helpful. In addition, he has a compassionate and friendly manner that can be so helpful in the midst of legal entanglements.

The people at Hassakis and Hassakis are very responsive and informed. Josh Humbrecht was very concerned and involved in my case. Josh took my case personally and handled everything very well. The case went very fast and seemed it was a priority in the eyes of Hassakis and Hassakis! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

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.

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.
