This law firm is nothing short of phenomenal. My biggest advice is that if you are injured at work, contact them immediately. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of trying to "do the right thing" and avoid obtaining counsel while assuming laws, companies & opposing counsel would also be honorable. WRONG.
Tim Roberto & Bri Seay were able to get me the care that I needed and was being refused. There is a difference between fair & legal. Do not let the kindness & soft spoken tones from this dyanmic duo mislead you. They know the law & advocate for their client to the fullest. My only mistake was not seeing them & signing sooner. This team is also not in the practice of making false promises or fabricating a case. It will well serve you to obtain them immediately.

David Noel was referred to me by a collegue. I was VERY impressed by his representation of my case. He made sure I was well informed and understood what to expect. I am thankful I was able to hire him. His fees were far more affordable than other attorneys I had inquired with. He was direct, even with matters I was not happy with, which I respect because I was able to understand the law better and how it would effect my case. He was professional and I never had to call his office more than once to get a response to a question or whatever it may have been. His staff is great and I felt as if my case mattered and my lawyer knew what he was doing. I didn't get everything I wanted in my case, but I was informed up front of the situation, but I did get the outcome that I needed for my family.

I have been working with Tim concerning my worker’s compensation case. He was very up-front about cost/fees and what he could or could not do for me. He has exceeded my expectations and I would HIGHLY recommend him if you are looking for helpful and effective counsel during your case or settlement. Tim valued my concerns and made sure to contact me to provide updates. I felt I could trust him with my case—really put my mind at ease during such a stressful time.

Divorce alone is one of the most difficult things you can go through in life. And then to have your ex spouse come back later and try to take your kids away is devastating. My case was a petition to change the PRP, Britini it’s not only really good at what she does but very patient and understanding of the emotions her clients may have going through a custody battle. Britini was quite eloquent in her presentation to the court I knew exactly where to pack the punch. She did an excellent job with proving there was no material change in circumstances proved by the other side, and that my ex husband was simply trying to gain more control and that the changes he sought presented no real benefit to the child.
In the end I not only won huge but actually came out with more than I asked for, which was simply for the court to uphold the agreement currently in place. If you’re going through divorce or custody battles it’s going to be costly no matter what. With Britini you will get the experience of a seasoned attorney at a more than fair rate. If you’re looking for a family law attorney and need a real bulldog in the quart room, look no further… Britini is the one you need on your side!

I can't say enough good things about Britni. She truly went above and beyond on my case, making time to meet with me via FaceTime during the COVID pandemic and going out of her way to make sure I felt prepared and at ease about my case. She destroyed the other side in court and my case was a huge win. I recommend her to anyone in need of a good lawyer.

I met Britni when I was at my lowest. I had just left my husband after a 36 year abusive marriage. She got a one year protective order for me and fought with me to obtain my divorce. She is caring and compassionate and a fighter! She treated me with respect and for once I felt safe. I highly recommend Britni, she is amazing.

Wonderfully happy with my representation from Burks and Ogle. Beyond being an incredibly knowledgeable lawyer, Mr. Ogle is a respectful and relatable person that will work with you to get the best outcome that he can deliver.
I was incredibly nervous walking into his office the first time, but his calm demeanor and knowledge of the law made me feel much more comfortable, all while conveying the seriousness of the situation and outlying all of the possibilities of the case and the path that laid before me. We ended up reaching a very favorable outcome in my case, and I am thrilled with the representation I received.

I hired this firm to file an SSDI claim. I was wounded in Afghanistan and eligible for expedited SSDI claims processing. In attempting to communicate this to the staff representatives when I filed my claim and in subsequent phone conversations. I was told the firm was not familiar with the Wounded Warrior expedited process and I would need to handle that myself. In an effort to explain the provision the lady I spoke with identified herself as an attorney but then refused to answer my question and passed me off the a supervisor. I informed him that she had identified herself as an attorney and was rather rude. He assured me she had not identified herself as attorney when clearly she had. The end of the conversation was the same. I would need to handle my situation directly with the SSA and the firm could not help me. If you are veteran/wounded warrior I would be very cautious about engaging this firm.

I’m not sure if he’s given up and about to retire but he will run up charges and take your money so that you can get no results. He will lengthen the case purposely to add extra charges and leave you with thousands extra that you didn’t expect. Will he get the job done. The answer is no. Chose someone else.

Mr. Wykoff handled my divorce case, he did not look out for my best interest or try to negotiate on my behalf. He was offended that I took the time to look up what my rights were for mediation. I did not feel he was trustworthy because he never did what he said he was going to do but he ran up quite a bill. Lastly he made an unnecessary an inappropriate remark to my daughter. I would never recommend Mr. Wykoff to anyone.

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.
