After experiencing an awful car accident and overwhelmed with all that comes next, I can honestly say that I would not trust anyone else, other than Chad and his amazing team (especially Viviana) at Rankin and Gregory. They broke every step down into digestible pieces- were kind, professional, compassionate, timely, caring, and understanding. They took the time to make sure they had all of the pieces, and I was able to really focus on recovery while they focused on all of the legal pieces. I am so thankful and grateful for their hard work, and positive outcome to my case. Highly (and that is an understatement) recommend this firm. 10/10.

The attorneys and staff at McDonald At Law were very caring about the injuries I suffered and genuinely seemed concerned about me as a person, and not just a case or someone to make money off of. Attorney McDonald supports his client and what his client wants to the fullest. He will rally behind you and fight in front of you for the best outcome possible!

If you need a law firm to represent you in a Worker's Compensation case, I highly, highly recommend the firm of Vanasse Law. In fact, based on my experience, words cannot describe how this firm went above and beyond to help me win my own case. When another attorney thankfully referred me to Vanasse Law, I was in terrible pain from a work-related injury and could barely take care of myself, much less handle my Worker's Compensation case. Michael Vanasse not only became my trusted attorney but also a trusted advisor on not just my case but also on other matters closely related to my injury and the separation from my employer. He expertly submitted all applications and documents related to my case and prepared me for what I could expect each step of the way, for example, during the deposition and the court appearances. Mike's paralegal Loraine Liuzzo was consistently and expertly on top of the blizzard of documents and medical receipts that needed to be submitted, and was also a highly experienced and trusted advisor each step of the way. They together handled my case flawlessly, thereby allowing me to win a substantial settlement. A huge plus is that they are both the nicest and most upright people you will ever meet. Based on this experience, I highly recommend Vanasse Law and hold them in the highest esteem.

On February 6, 2014 I didn’t know what I was going to do about being denied surgery due to a work injury. Then I saw a glimpse of hope when “Vanasse Law We Help With Workmen’s Comp” came on my home computer when I looked up workers’ comp lawyers. I called and got an appointment for the following week.
Then after 14 months of hard work, with phone calls, paperwork, and a whole lot more, what Mr. Vanasse and Mrs. Liuzzo did for me, they overcame all that was put in front of them. They put my life and my health back together.
They both were not just a Law Firm, they were like family and that is how my wife and I got treated.
I cannot even begin to tell them how much they and the hard work they did means to us. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul.

I contacted Nicholas (Niko) Veronis after I was in a serious car accident. Niko's ability to make a tough situation for me a very easy and relaxed situation is one of his greatest traits. He is a very caring and thorough attorney and is readily available. I would recommend Niko to any one in need of an injury attorney. Niko is very professional and detail oriented. I was awarded a fair settlement and I owe it all to this incredible attorney. Thank you Niko for all your hard efforts in my case.
Respectively,
Judy

Attorney Veronis ("Niko") is the BEST! We hired him after my husband was kicked in the head by a horse in a car accident. Yes, bizarre. I didn't know where to turn. I was confused about the law and our rights. My husband was seriously injured. A friend and colleague recommended Attorney Veronis. I called and left a message. Within hours, he called back and talked on the phone with us, explaining everything. The next day we went to his office, had an excellent conversation in which he clearly outlined our options and put us at ease. He even gave me a copy of the book on personal injury that he and his partner have written. We hired him that day. In less than six weeks, Niko had settled our case seamlessly and in the most professional manner. We feel truly blessed to have him as our attorney.

My sincere thanks to Nicholas Veronis and his staff for helping me and my family when I found myself in need of a lawyer as a result of a horrific bicycle accident. We were in uncharted waters and had no idea what to do. From his initial visit to the skilled nursing facility (where I resided for 4 months totally bedridden) to the rehab hospital and to visiting me at my sister's home where I continued my convalescence until I was able to return to my own home, Niko's personal concern for my well-being and recovery/rehab efforts never waivered. I was able to focus on healing and Niko worked with the insurance companies and all my medical providers resolving a myriad of billing issues, etc. I am extremely happy to have this behind me and to have reached a settlement allowing me to move forward with my life. I highly recommend Niko Veronis and his firm to anyone in need of their thorough and conscientious services.

After a near 6 year fight trying to achieve a disability adjudication hearing, without success, I turned to Melissa. She was thorough in her initial intake, she maintained/endured constant communication and I do mean constant communications from myself to her office and responded every time. Not once did she ask me to please stop. I was appreciative of her understanding, compassion, desire to "get this one done".
While the outcome was not a slam dunk victory and fell well short of overall expectations, she still achieved a favorable decision from the judge. I would have appreciated the considerations that Melissa had provided me, from the adjudication process of the administration itself. The system is flawed. It needs repaired. Never the less Melissa receives the 3-C's award from me....... I have a personal journey to undergo from here. It won't be easy, but I am positive if I have any questions MY attorney will respond...

Melissa was very professional and proactive. She was very confidence inspiring in a time where my faith in the Social Security system was faltering. Anytime I had a question, she always was able to get back to me with a response in a very short time, and the advice was always right on. Melissa Wohlsen projects an air of compassion and confidence along with her professionalism.

When I came to Melissa i was very discouraged having been denied my social security disability claim, after a LONG wait, coupled with having to leave my job that i loved and enjoyed. She was ALWAYS very easy to talk to and was kind and patient to read my long emails that at times contained many questions and a bit of frustration having to wait out this process. She ALWAYS got back to me in a timely manner and made me feel at ease and understood. If I were her boss i would definatly do whatevr i could to keep her and give her a big fat raise, i mean that, what she did for me meant the world to me its been a VERY VERY difficult time losing income and incurring medical bills. I would refer her or the partners to anyone seeking legal advice or help. Thank you so much! Side note: The type of case was a disability claim i didn't see that as an option to choose so i put employment/labor

Are you in need of a highly skilled, experienced attorney to help you win your Social Security Disability award? Look no further that Angel Torres.
The road to securing your disability award is a long and difficult road to travel alone. From the very first meeting with Mr. Torres I knew I had made the right choice.
Angel listened to my story and was sincerely concerned for me and my family. He patiently guided me through all the details that would be required to prepare for a successful hearing before the Judge. Mr. Torres pre-hearing written brief was so thorough, factual and compelling, I felt like the Judge was already on my side when the hearing began. Several weeks after the hearing, we received a letter from the Judge. He ruled fully in my favor – lifting a large financial burden from my shoulders.
I owe Angel and his firm, Nikolaus & Hohenadel, a debt of gratitude. Angel Torres has earned my highest recommendation.
I would not hesitate to call Mr. Torres again to represent me or a member of my family if the need arose.
Sincerely...Very Happy Client!

Stephanie E. DiVittore is incompetent. Retain her if you'd like to lose. She will charge you 3 times what other attorneys cost and lose the case for you. Before she loses though, she will offer to represent you for free when the inevitable loss occurs. I can only recommend you work with these guys if you're interested in losing. Have a great day folks.

She was a very kind and knowledgeable attorney at the beginning of my divorce. As it progressed and we were in negotiations she never returned a phone call or email. She charged me an hour of consultation when I was only there for 30 minutes. She told me she had another client. If I knew I was going to be charged for an hour I would have stayed. At the end of negotiations I could never get in touch with her. She never responded. Even when I met with her at the end I felt like she was so over my case. No I would not recommend her.

She listens intently and gets the job done.

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.
