The day I walked into Matt's office for the first time for my personal injury appointment almost never happened. That day I had just received my accident report from state police and it stated that I was responsible for the tractor trailer driver's accident. I was in an accident on I91 and suffered cervical spinal cord damage. I was shocked to read that on the report because no ticket was issued. Matt was very easy to talk to while explaining my side to him--his positive and reassuring attitude was calming. By the time my appointment ended, Matt was my counsel and not only did I have a chance--he ended up over time negotiating a settlement on our terms! I can't say enough about his experience and expertise! I 100% recommend Newborn Law for anyone needing legal counsel for personal injury!

I am so pleased to recommend the Ward Law Group! Attorney Ward represented me through my Social Security Disability application process. The entire process can be quite daunting, but Attorney Ward and his staff made it so much less scary! I would recommend for anyone who needs help with this type of application to "get thee to the Ward Law Group" without wasting any time. They were wonderful to work with (so easy to talk to and very warm and professional) and I had a positive outcome (thanks to them!).

One of the BEST decisions I ever made was to hire the Ward Law Group in August 2020! Attorney Ward's entire legal team, especially his extremely diligent paralegal, Lori. There are seriously not enough words to express my gratitude. She is very efficient and put me at ease from day one. Not once did they make me feel like "just another routine" SS Disability case; I was a real person who needed help. When I met Attorney Ward at my hearing in May 2023, I understood why he and his legal team are the BEST! I am forever grateful and will always highly recommend the Ward Law Group!

My family and extended family have engaged Greg Martin on several occasions for all of our family law needs. I recommend Greg to all of my family and friends on a regular basis. That is mainly because, Greg is a professional and has wonderful people skills. We have hired Greg during times when we feel most vulnerable and emotional. Greg always finds a way to calm our nerves and to make us feel confident in the process and his expertise to help us find a resolution. And, Greg has never failed us. I recommend Greg to you when you need a smart and sharp professional but also want to feel like you are really heard and cared for within the law.

I hired Granite Law Group for a car accident I had. At first, communication could have been better with obtaining my records. Attorney Matt Maaloof and his paralegals, Kristyn and Jazmin were able to settle the case 7 months later avoiding a trial. There were a few minor things I wasn’t pleased about, but overall I am pleased with Granite Law Group. I highly recommend this law group.

“For the first time in my 60 years, I finally experienced what it is like to have legal representation that I absolutely knew and felt were unequivocally advocating in my best interest! From our initial consultation on a difficult worker’s comp case, to a successful resolution that spanned several years, Attorney Grauel and his outstanding paralegal Diane were in my corner every step of the way. They fully explained the laws that govern workers comp in NH, and how those laws would and did apply to my case. The calm guidance and advice without all the over-hype allowed me to make informed decisions without feeling pressured. In addition to getting my workers comp case settled, Doug and Diane also took an active role while assisting me to clear all the hurdles required to secure and receive Social Security disability benefits, an effort for which I cannot thank them enough!” I you have a worker’s comp case you absolutely need to be represented, and I highly recommend the Grauel Law Office!

I hurt my knee on the job in 2016. The workers comp insurance company agreed that the knee was injured on the job and paid for PT and a meniscus operation. I was still in pain after the operation and insisted on another MRI. It was determined that I would need a total knee replacement operation. The insurance company told me "you don't need a lawyer" , then their lawyer sent me a notice that I needed to go to an Independent Medical Examination. That's when I found Doug on the internet. Long story less long, he took my case and won unanimous decisions with four mediators at two different hearings at the Department of Labor. I got my knee replaced after 2+ years from the initial accident and Doug was amazing. Highly recommend his services. I would not have prevailed without him.

Peter took on my personal injury case and was very informative of how this process would go and took the time to really dig into the specifics of my case and figure out what would be our best approach. Just before trial, we closed out this lawsuit with the opposing party. Peter took it right to the very end and made sure that my settlement amount was fair for what I had endured from the crash. Would recommend 10/10.

Throughout my case, Attorney Nixon provided timely input on my case, handled my deposition with exceptional care and she brought in the right experts to assist with my case. After reading her deposition of my former physician, it was abundantly clear why they quickly agreed to settle the case. I would highly recommend Attorney Nixon.

Leslie Nixon was linked to my case as I happened to be working in New Hampshire when I was ejected from a vehicle while the driver fell asleep. I live in Maryland and would have to make trips up north in order to proceed with the case. The communication with her team through the entire process was exceptional. Her assistant Nicole requested and pushed information to me as they came and I feel that even though she wasn’t the original lawyer that I began the case with, she assessed what happened to me very well and was very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the case. Her professionalism and knowledge of the law really shined through when I first went up north for my deposition and I felt with I was in great hands as she directed me what to do and not to do, as I’ve never been in the deposition process that lasted for over 4 hours!! I absolutely endorse Leslie Nixon to represent your legal needs. I thank her so much for helping me win my case and move forward with my life!!

I met Attorney Greg Robbins when he was an associate out of Brown law in Rochester. (see Attorney S. Brown Law review too!). I had been injured at work and found myself waking up in critical care at a hospital. It was a very hard place to be. I was overwhelmed right out of the hospital, and after trials of PT that failed. My doc was not a MD and should have done more testing after the hospital. I couldn't wrap my head around ever knowing anything like workmans' comp law. I was overwhelmed as Attorney Robbins reviewed the original records at that time, and felt hopeless at so much detail. I wasn't okay or ready to manage it. I was later hospitalized 4 times more due to one injury to my head, the rest was body. More time went by and it took forever to find out what was happening. I got new doctors to help me better, and do the job they needed to in the beginning. I had never seen a doctor for anything for 16 years before being hurt at work. I wished I felt more able to fight at first, but it was too overwhelming. I had so much to prove and was not okay to do that. The time in and out of hospitals, a major surgery caused by my work, it was too much. I will keep more details of me out, but not what I have come to believe. Attorney Robbins would have been the best attorney for the job. I wish I didn't need more medical things to have been known after the initial injury. I just didn't have it all. I believe he is worthy of looking to for workman's' comp issues...and whether you're leery...give him a chance first. I found this type of law to be very hard for me, and it might feel that way to you, but Greg Robbins is the man here. I fully believe he will handle it, even if it's overwhelming. If your going to fight...CHOSE ATTORNEY ROBBINS in your corner! I finally spelled his name right (I must be getting better). I've been that unsteady. Thanks so much & sorry for being a pain in the butt too. A very overdue thanks....Kudos Greg! PS: his office is out of Portsmouth now.

This group, including his very helpful and knowledgeable staff calmed my worries, kept me posted on all progress. They addressed all the issues with the hospital, insurance company, Dr's and the State. I honestly don't think I would have recovered as quickly as I did if it weren't for this group. I was at a complete loss as what to do. They took care of business quickly, professionally and compassionately. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of a great personal injury attorney. M.

Brent's services don't just end when you receive the approval - he also provides extremely helpful and comprehensive advice that one should always keep in mind post-change of immigration status.

They won’t likely won’t take your case if it is complex involving falsehoods against you, employer liability and injuries. Edit: You see the response stating they are “unable to accept every case” but this is the actual reason why they said they cannot accept my case, which is different…” Unfortunately, we are unable to assist you due to our current case load.” So why are they advertising for more clients if their current case load is so high, they are unable to assist me…?

We were many states away & it always felt as if we were right next door. We had a time pressing matter, & mistakingly reached out to a notorious over advertised firm that promised us the world & ran out our time, never responding. Mr. Durkin & his firm are salt of the earth, genuinely caring folks who work tirelessly no matter what comes up. They practice true transparency & informed consent, so you always know where you stand above and beyond anything you'd expect.

Too bad they don't have "-1 star " I would give it to this lawyer!!! Christopher Garner is a horrible lawyer. Rude and disrespectful.please be very careful with this lawyer I personally 100% would not recommend his services to anyone at all. Terrible experience and a lawyer who is not looking out for your best interest as a client, He just asked me in my first visit "consulting " the day before Christmas for fees $$$ in cash only and that was very weird because lawyers don't ask for cash! so I paid the cash and than I had no service at all and nothing was solved! So basically I lost my money and my time with this lawyer and now I have to find a professional lawyer who cares about his clients.

I was referred to Attorney Garner by The Pro Bono Organization of NH. Because I fell at 62 years old and suffered substantial injury I could no longer work and consequently fell behind on my bills. There was no other choice but to declare bankruptcy. I met with Attorney Garner and was so impressed by him and his assistant Dixie. I was extremely skeptical at first but was quickly swayed by their professionalism and actual concern over making sure I understood everything before I filed. I ABSOLUTELY and without question would use Attorney Garner legal services if I ever needed legal counsel. I certainly would refer my friends and family to him. Thanks so much Attorney Garner for everything you did for me. I will always be grateful to 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
