I worked with Keating Law offices and the attorney that helped me was Jack Dassow. I had searched a while for a law firm, and no one would take my case, but Jack and his team believed in me and was able to help me. I was able to get the most amount of settlement per the type of case. I was also able to get compensation for my Bike as well. Hopefully I won't have any issue in the future with any more accidents but if I do I will definitely be giving them a call. Really great law firm and team!!!

I have to say Bruce R Cook was not my first choice. I was injured on the job and workcomp didn't want to pay me or my medical. I went to an attorney who promised me my pay and a big settlement. Months went by and nothing. I started searching for another attorney when I came across Robert Rs review on Google about Mr Bruce R Cook. All I can say is thank You Robert R. Mr. Cook is truly an amazing attorney. He and his staff were very professional and returned all my calls. Mr. Cook does not feed you a line of bull he shows you by actions. He got my pay started right away, got me the medical that I needed to feel good again and get back to work. After I hired Mr. Cook I was able to sleep at night again. He truly took care of me and my family, and answered any questions I asked. When it came time to settle I was very impressed. Anyone out there who don't know where to turn and needs someone to trust Bruce R. Cook is your answer. Thank you so much Bruce for all that you done.

John Brewster has known my father and our family for years. John helped my father with some difficult issues a couple of years ago and continued to help our family at the time of my father's death in March 2022. He treated us like we were his own family and his advise and wisdom made dealing with my father's estate much easier. John was very patient and listened to our concerns and fears about how to proceed with the legal issues that seem to pop up when you lose a loved one. I'm sure that many of the questions we asked John were silly. I'm not sure how he kept from laughing at times, but he remained very professional and helped us move forward. This Law Firm is well established in Southern Illinois and John Brewster and his team are the reason why.
Thank you all for the help you gave us. God Bless

We had a personal injury suit. Mr. Crosby always returned our calls, even on his cell if he was out of the office quickly. He always tried to keep us updated on our case, as it isn't a fast moving thing. We definitely picked the perfect lawyer for our case. I would recommend him any day. He won our case and we will be forever grateful to him. He worked hard and earned every penny.

I am writing to express my gratitude for your most professional representation.
Dodds Law (Terry Dodd) stood by my side for over 3 1/2 yrs dealing with this complicated case. Your dedication, work ethic, and representation was nothing short of remarkable! The many hours spent researching, bringing the right witnesses and subpoenas of medical records was comprehensive to winning support for my case.
I recommend Dodd Law offices to anyone neesing professional legal assistance to protect your rights.

During the most traumatic time of our lives, the one constant was Jim Spiros and Spiros Law.
We lost our dear mom in a horrific accident on November 19, 2021. Knowing we would never get the answers we deserved or justice for our mom, we called Jim early one morning and asked if he would help us hold those responsible for her death accountable. From that moment on, Jim took our case personally, as if this was his own family member.
Jim is a meticulous litigator and tenacious in his pursuit of justice. Jim has a way of knowing when defendants are not forthcoming and he does not stop until he gets the information they are trying to conceal.
Jim never wavered in his dedication to our case and those responsible for our mom's death were held accountable.
Jim will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
Thank you all for your dedication and professionalism!

Attorney Doyle’s reputation is far reaching; well known in areas outside of Illinois. I reside in Virginia and my 90-year-old mother is in a nursing home in Illinois. When an unfortunate situation arose concerning my mother, I had no one to turn to for help. I consulted with attorneys in the Northern Virginia/Washington, DC area and they recommended Attorney Barry G. Doyle. I can attest to the positive character traits noted by other clients but above all, he proved to be a competent veteran attorney, tenacious, and doesn’t suffer fools lightly.
In these types of cases, a ’David’ is required to go up against the ‘Goliath’ insurance company attorneys with their goal of minimizing or avoiding a fair settlement. The ‘David’ you want to represent you in a tough nursing home abuse case is Attorney Barry G. Doyle, he is one you can trust.

We would heartily recommend him as the BEST at what he does !!!

Shawn was awesome helping me get compensated for an injury I incured with a previous employer. After 5 years of service, they did not want to cover my injury that happened on the job forcing me to suffer from lost wages and financial hardship/debt. Shawn worked on my case for 3 years to make me whole. I appreciate all of his dedication and impeccable communication. Words cannot express how grateful I am to Shawn for helping me to finally be able to move forward with my life. Thank you!

I am grateful to have had Mr. Kugler as my Attorney.
My husband and I hired Mr. Kugler after we were injured in a motorcycle accident. From start to finish, Mr. Kugler was exceptionally helpful with his counsel in our case. Immediately, the other driver's insurance company wanted my husband and I to settle before we had even had our injuries fully evaluated. The whole accident was overwhelming for me (emotionally and physically). I appreciated Mr. Kugler communication style that helped my family understand our options. Furthermore, I appreciated his genuine concern for his clients and am thankful for his encouragement. If I should ever need an Attorney again, I would seek to hire Mr. Kugler for my case.

I went into my bankruptcy without knowing what to expect but as soon as I talked to Bruce my mind was at ease. He explained everything to me and let me know what the outcome could be (good and bad). HE was very honest with me and didn’t try to sugar coat anything. He was very responsive to calls and emails. He had me prepared for the meeting with the trustees so I knew exactly what to expect before going in. I would highly recommend Bruce to anyone who is considering filing for bankruptcy.

I found Bruce by looking at reviews as you are now. I didn’t know what to expect I had hired a attorney for child custody twice before but when asked about bankruptcy he said he didn’t work in that field. I had a list of recommendations and lost it and had to start looking one by reading reviews just like you are. I was scarred and nervous when I went to meet Bruce I was about to give a man I didn’t know all my private financial problems. One thing I worried about was, is Bruce just another attorney who’s going to rack up the hours and send me bills in the long haul? No! No he’s not!!!
Bruce showed compassion the first time I met him and explained everything in detail and answered everything I could think of asking. Well we filled went through the process and Bruce kept me informed of everything going on and all the possible outcomes. He tells you the TRUTH not just what you want to hear! Needless to say we had a issue come up and I began to worry all I could see were dollar signs adding up! After all I filled bankruptcy I was I am broke what am I going to do? Well Bruce explained things and how they worked in detail and we got back to it! At the end I had very good outcome! That’s out come comes from Bruce always being prepared and making sure you’re prepared as well! He pays attention to detail and in return helps you understand those details. The day came the bill was emailed a meeting was set!!! That bill I got that big bill I knew was coming ( I added up the hours before I received the bill) well the bill wasn’t exactly what I expected!! Bruce didn’t charge me all the hours he could have!! He didn’t charge me for everything he had done! I thanked him and he explained he didn’t think that I had been treated fairly he said. We spoke more and we also spoke about some other things going on and we spoke about god and the way he works in our lives. And he and his wife both said they’re pray for me and my family. I couldn’t have asked for a better man to help me!!! Not just a attorney but a great Christian man... so yes a man can be both! Bruce Kugler is, great attorney great Christian man!!!!
Bruce if you read this I just want to again say thank you!!!!

Angie was great to work with. Always surprisingly easy to get in touch with, especially considering the workload from her other cases, even when randomly popping into her office. Angie gave me a realistic expectation about the possible outcome from my case and then Delivered. I couldn't believe the amount of medical bills that she and her team got reduced for me, literally several thousands saved.

His staff stayed in continuous contact with me about my association, my realtor and the forms that were needed. My realtor enjoyed working with Jeffrey also. His staff worked hard and kept me in the loop with the progress and any questions that needed to be addressed. He personally called me after the home inspection and discussed the outcome. He worked extremely well with my realtor and everything was a smooth transition. His rates are extremely fair and I will recommend him to family and friends! Thank you for your expertise Jeff!!

Mr.Phillips represented our teenage daughter in a medical malpractice case that was settled in 2011. Robert went above and beyond for us in a very difficult time.

He is a confident attorney with a great deal of experience and knowledge.Not only did Mr.Phillips help get our daughter the monetary compensation she would need to take care of herself for her lifetime, he also helped guide her in the right direction to set herself up for success. Mr. Phillips is a man of great integrity and will not let you down. Without hesitation, our family will always recommend him to anyone in need of his services. We are truly appreciative. Highly recommend!

I recently had surgery that was very successful. I did not hesitate to let friends, family and acquaintances know that I had the surgery, how excellent the surgery went, who the doctor was and how he had changed my life.
My wife and I recently went through Chapter 7 bankruptcy with David Feinartz. The entire process as orchestrated by David was superb. But, have I gone out to friends or acquaintance an tell them that we had just gone through "Bankruptcy," and that we were so fortunate, so blessed to find an attorney that changed our lives. Unfortunately the answer is no. Why, at the age of 71, I did not want to advertise that our financial condition was such that we required the expertise of David Feinartz. I was ashamed that we had to file for bankruptcy.
David was recommended to us through a friend that admitted that he had experience bankruptcy and what a wonderful experience is was to work with David. Following up on our friends recommendation, we certainly found that to be true. We had been fighting financial problems since 2009 only going deeper and deeper in debt. Our only knowledge we had about bankruptcy and bankruptcy attorneys was through commercials on TV......................... and these guy"s can certainly scare you.
On our friends recommendation, we met with David and found him to be calm, and understanding of our concerns, even our terror of our future. David, after calming us down, explained the options we had ahead of us, made a recommendation as to how he would proceed. Davids calming manner in addition to his level of knowledge and professionalism was everything our friend who recommended David and more.
We have completed our Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and starting over. We will always be grateful to David as well as our friend who recommended David to us for changing our life.
Thank you David

David was recommended by a trusted friend to help us navigate foreclosure and bankruptcy proceedings. His knowledge in helping us through the court system was and is invaluable. Perhaps more valuable has been the time he has taken to make us feel a little less diminished as a result of our circumstance. His is all about making sure that we get the best possible outcome in the end.

Right out of the shoot, Scott listened so well that he retained the details and facts for quite a length of time as the case drug out, only due to pandemic.
Scott is knowledgeable enough with the laws that on the fly was able to cite a precedence to allow a brand new piece of evidence on the record.
I was also happy that Scott does not try and take advantage with the charges. Very Very Fair.
Naturally, Scott won the case.

Mr Casey helped me navigate a family estate inheritance. He provided his legal opinions but was only interested in what I felt was best for myself and my family. He then protected our interests through the whole process. It was very reassuring to hire him knowing we would be taken care of the entire time. I highly recommend Mr. Casey to friends, family and acquaintances! Thank you!

I highly recommend Domenic. My workers comp case was going nowhere with my first attorney for 1-1/2 years, and I had thousands of dollars in bills. I contacted Dworkin & Maciariello. I met with Domenic Maciarillo and signed with his law firm. He handled everything from that point on, even dismissing my first law firm for me. Domenic talked me through all of the bad times while reassuring me everything would work out in the end.
Thank you, Domenic and staf,f for helping me through this sad chapter in my life.

I have known Dom for several years and he is one of the nicest, most easygoing people I know. He is always friendly and has a smile on his face. He is a great listener who genuinely cares for his clients. Technically, he is my competition since we are both Petitioner's attorneys but we do not view it that way. He has always supported me and I support him in all that he does. We encourage and applaud each other with our accomplishments. He is very intelligent and works extremely hard for his clients. Dom is a class act.

Domenic Maciariello handled a workers' compensation claim for me. He had hands on knowledge regarding my case at all times. I was always able to reach him in the office or on his cell phone and he always returned my calls in a timely manner whether it was after hours or on weekends. He always had time to talk with me about my concerns and explained everything to me in a way I could understand. He is courteous, very reliable and professional. He drives a hard bargain and was able to negotiate a settlement for more than I expected and was extremely happy with. You would be foolish to have any other attorney handle your workers' compensations claim. I highly recommend him.

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.
