Nick Ponzio was such an amazing attorney to me. I got injured at work and I didn’t know what to do. I could have been taken advantage of. I had never experienced anything like this before. Nick fought for me tremendously. I can honestly say after everything I’ve been through; It’s worth knowing that I had a lawyer who cared and had the best interest in mind for me. If ever I needed help again he will definitely be the one I go to. Despite all the pain and trouble I went through; I can say that I am very thrilled with the results of my settlement. Thanks to Nick, never in all my have I experienced working with someone like this after my surgery, and knowing that he actually wanted to make sure that I recovered very well. After the surgery he started fighting for me and making sure that I got the settlement I deserved-and he did. This job for Nick is more than a paycheck. He really puts his heart to fight for you, and that’s what I love and respect about Nick. Thank-you Nick, and God bless you.

I can't express enough how thankful I am for this incredible law firm. They don't just talk about supporting the community—they truly live it. Whether it's through their ongoing support of local nonprofits, using local vendors, or generously giving away items to those in need, they are consistently giving back. It’s inspiring to see a firm that not only cares for you as a client but also cares for their community. A true Champion Team.

We hired Jim Fletcher to create a trust to avoid probate costs and set up a will, along with healthcare and financial powers of attorney, when we were expecting our first child. He was incredibly organized, thorough, and easy to work with. Jim even came to our home when our schedules were tight! We've used him again after having our second child and referred my parents, who were equally impressed. Highly recommend him for estate planning!

First and foremost I would like to thank Frye Law Group for accepting me as a client. Secondly, I would like to thank Michael for representing me. It was short notice but he made sure that he was more than prepared. He understood what mattered to me most and was able to execute without hesitation and got my case dismissed. I may be quiet but I knew in this situation I would have to stand up for myself. I’m just glad I didn’t have to face this alone. Now I can get back to being the best dad that I know that I am. Thank you again. I will definitely be recommending Frye Law Group to anyone in need.

I will leave this review to those that want the honest truth and unfortunately, I need to leave this review vague enough so that her office doesn’t try and discredit my comments (I would challenge you to look at her responses to other negative reviews…some are obviously warranted) I don’t play.
Several years ago, I was going through the most challenging time of my young adult life. I had made some mistakes years prior and unfortunately found myself in a predicament, which lead me to an admission of guilt to my misdemeanor charge…per my council (Ms. Frye directly) I accepted a deal that was inaccurately presented to me in court. While dealing with the aftermath of my case, it was brought to my attention that Ms. Frye had given me an inaccurate and false narrative of my obligations to the court. I can’t go into extreme detail, but I can tell you, I have more than enough evidence of malpractice. I do not and will not take this lightly. As a working class medical professional, anyone that wants to partner with Ms. Frye I would recommend you head my warning.
I have a case worker overlooking my complaint to the Georgia board. As a criminal defense attorney, Ms. Frye does not want these facts to become public, but unfortunately this is the direction she would like to move forward with. She is unwilling to admit to the mistakes she made to the court (and myself), which the court has graciously provided me and my current attorneys (several years later, after the incident) with enough proof and evidence of said malpractice.
There are so many attorneys out there. This one will overcharge you and make it feel normal…and in my case, give you the worst outcome possible (with sprinkles of nasty, disrespectful and condescending attitude) while verbally giving you the wrong outcome of your case after the trial. I can’t make this up. I know I sound like someone recently hurt by the outcome of my case…that is incorrect. I advise any and everyone to challenge any potential attorney that you might be interested in to ask adequate questions and understand the realm of possibilities regarding your case. This was one of the worst mistakes I’ve made in my entire life, and I have really been struggling with it for years. I would not recommend Ms. Frye to my worst enemy.

Rhonda was hired to handle my father's case, but unfortunately, she has been incredibly unhelpful. She became dismissive and irritated with him, eventually requesting a psychological evaluation. This has caused unnecessary delays; my father has been stuck in custody for over five months waiting for this evaluation, which has put his entire case on hold. He already has a program ready to help him with addiction treatment, but the only thing holding him back is this evaluation. Our family has reached out to Rhonda multiple times out of concern, but she’s been consistently rude and dismissive to us. A lawyer should advocate for their client and be accessible during such critical times—Rhonda has done the exact opposite. I would rate her less than one star if I could; she doesn’t even deserve that

Gentry Law Firm is an OUTSTANDING law office.
After meeting with other law firms in the area, I was concerned on finding the right law firm to handle my situation, but then I walked in the door of the Gentry Law Firm. I immediately felt the welcome INSTANTLY.
The hospitality from the initial meeting with Ms. Moore and the front admins was so welcoming and delightful.
Then meeting with my attorney: Ms. Seidenberg, her paralegal: Ms. Albert, and attorney assistant: Mr. Wilburn was an added touch of heartfelt warmth. I was impressed with the power behind their bond and the team of who was going to support me. Words cannot express how remarkable my team is all what they are doing for me. Always listening tentatively, having a plan, always being communicative, showing compassion and empathy.
Over and over again in so many ways during my situation I have been their top priority as I go thru these challenges and a new life for me and my children. Whenever I need them I get a timely response within reason.
With this journey, I would not been able to do this alone. They have provided me with the upmost confidence, that they have my back and will always be alongside me for the entire process.
I don't just have a legal representation. I have a VILLAGE, my LEGAL TEAM. I consider each of them within the office, all not just as friends, but now as my family.
I would highly recommend this law firm to anyone for any legal needs and plan on being an advocate for this law firm for years to come.

Thought I had left a review, but I guess I wasn't successful. Let me tell you: Deborah is an incredible attorney who understands the workings of Workers Compensation in and out, and is at the TOP of her game. She was literally one step ahead in any dealings we had with the often laborious and bureaucratic Workman's Compensation machine. Listen to her, trust her, and you can't go wrong!

I work in the Workers compensation field and have more than 8 years of experience.
During all this time I have seen a lot, the bad and ugly cases and the terrible outcomes due to a poor selection of legal representation.
I can say with absolute confidence that Larry Hanna and Associates have the experience, the knowledge and most of all, the understanding and compasion for the people they represent.
With all these elements you can expect just the best.
Thumbs up! for each and everyone in the staff, they are efficient, courteous and absolutelly respectful, the kind of people you want to have around when you feel overwhelmed with lots of decisions and not at your best physically.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Larry Hanna and his staff are some remarkable people, I have a workers compensation claim and this man has ripped up the streets trying to get me the best doctors for my injury see I had recently fired one attorney for lack of responses even through emails he never responded not to say he wasn't knowledgeable of the case I was just never informed as much as Larry has responded, there is so much I could say about Larry and his firm like hospitality when you are at the office or the telephone calls to let you know whats going on thats where his assistant Sandra comes in. Most attorneys don't give you their personal cell phone number to call anytime there is a question that needs to be answered, and I have taken Larry up on that on several occasions I do recommend this attorney just like he was recommended to me he does an outstanding job...

He is very professional.

I will be forever grateful to Bob Windholz for the professionalism and dedication he exhibited as my personal injury attorney. In addition to gaining a settlement for me in an extremely difficult case involving a surgeon who switched his medical opinion to my detriment, Bob stood by me on a personal level. There were times when I was so low that I almost gave up, but he encouraged me, always exercising utmost concern that I have faith in the process. More importantly, I could put my faith in him. If you require a personal injury attorney, trust me, you should call Bob Windholz. –Robin D, Tucker, GA

Mr. Windholz has handled our personal injury with the upmost of professionalism.
And has been there for my family (being a single mom). When circumstances would arise. He is very detailed, organized and not the common Attorney - who calls you back in a week.
We are most grateful for his time, diligence and drive to help in our situation.
This is a Attorney not of the mundane but the extraordinary.

I received a consultation with Bobby Johnson and was impressed by his ability to break down and add context to the questions I had about workers' compensation law.
Bobby too time to mention the numerous workers' compensation committees he's part of, which made it clear that he's a specialist by choice. Hearing that his office chooses not to accept certain payments because they feel that an injured person needs that money in full - when his office, like any other workers' comp office, is lawfully entitled to that money - made a great impression.
Based on my consultation, I'd absolutely seek representation from Johnson and Alday.

My experience with this law firm, and Bobby Johnson in particular was very beneficial. Mr. Johnson took the time to review my questions and thoroughly answer them, giving me the caveats and pros/cons of initiating a workers compensation case. It was very clear to me based on his credentials, his 18 years of experience in workers compensation cases, and his well thought out answers that he knows this area of law very well and made me comfortable in pursuing my case.

I called Saeed and explained my traffic ticket; unlike the other lawyers who wanted me to hire them immediately and pay them up front. Saeed advised me that my traffic ticket was a simple expiry of tag and that i should be able to pay the fine without paying thousands to any lawyer. He was more of a physician watching out for the best interest of his client instead of a businessman looking out for the best for himself. I can not thank him enough for giving the best advice in a simple and understandable language. I highly recommend Saeed for his principles and practise of law.

Saeed is a fantastic attorney and just a genuinely caring guy. His office is in a very nice area, and conveniently located. He spent more time with me than I've ever experienced from an attorney, and he was quick to find answers to all my questions. He handled my case extremely efficiently, and even made me laugh a couple times.
I'd recommend Mr. Mahallati to anyone. I actually picked up a stack of his cards because lawyers like him will actually give lawyers a good name.
Also, he speaks various languages. If you're in the market for a Persian / Iranian speaking attorney, then he's your guy.

Andrew Kiehle represented me for a case of a car accident I was in, that was not my fault. I was going to lose a lot of money that I had put into the car, not to mention the money that I was paying for treatment and missing work. Andrew handled my case fairly, efficiently and swiftly. He was very thorough, stayed in touch with me and kept me informed every step of the way. He set up my treatment for me at a place that was convenient for me to go to and met my exact needs. I had no idea that an attorney did so much for the client. I hadn't ever needed one until the accident, but I'm glad that I was represented by someone that would advocate for me to the absolute best of his ability when the time came for me to take action to be compensated for what had happened to me. Because Andrew Kiehle was so diligent in getting me a fair settlement, I was able to recover all the money that I had lost as a result of the car accident, and have all of my medical treatment covered, as well as his fee. I had no hope just after the accident took place - I thought I was going to lose my car, and have to come out of pocket for expensive treatments. Andrew assured me that I would not have to face a loss, and he kept his word. I am so grateful to have had someone get me through something no one wants to ever go through. But if I ever get into another accident again, I know I can call Andrew Kiehle and not have to worry about a single thing, because he took care of everything for me, plain and simple.

I was on trial for murder, had two murder charges against me and was eventually assigned a second lawyer and certainly Mr. Croy is opinionated and we argued, but I'm a very stubborn person too and he got me clear of the murder charges. I didn't care as much for my other lawyer though granted he did help. Still think that Croy did a great deal of the work. He also proved that the idiotic financial exploitation charges weren't true. Now, I do wish that the amount of time had been a bit more reasonable but part of that could have been our Georgia county which is notorious for dragging people and not saying it's the judge, but the DA is the jerk, the overall head DA.

Questions? We have answers
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.
