His team was responsive to my questions and knowledgeable to the issues for my Disability Claim.
John made me feel comfortable, and was responsive to my questions and concerns before and after my Hearing.

Let me start off by saying he is not my attorney. Though I wish he was. I contacted Mr. Flatt with some clarifying question I had regarding my case, seeing that I was not getting the answers from my own attorney. This man is AMAZING! He listened to my concerns, then took the time to explain step by step what was actually going on with my case. He is extremely knowledgeable around workers comp law and will certainly steer you in the right direction. Most important, he will take the time to be sure you have a full understanding about your case and advise you on best next steps. It is with great appreciation I recommend this Lawyer.

I just recently hired Shawn to handle my son's ATV case, and while on the phone with him I also mentioned that I was at traffic court for my own case. He literally left right that minute to come meet me at traffic court and help me with my ticket, and I have high hopes that he will be beneficial in handling these cases. Seems like a very knowledgeable and caring attorney.

It's been a decade since my divorce, and as those with kids know it doesn't necessarily end then. Khadija Misuraca was beyond helpful, understanding, and receptive. She was also able to bring me back to earth from heightened emotions, always lending perspective. Throughout the years since, I've needed guidance for a number of things that popped up, and she always made herself accessible, all free of charge. I trust her completely and will recommend her without hesitation.

When I called, Alex immediately responded to my vehicle inquiry and sorrows surrounding the repairs. After providing him with all the purchase documents and repair documents he was able to tell me that I definitely had a breach of warranty case against the manufacturer.
It took some time (dealing with a large motor company) but they eventually paid for my lack of use of the car (always in the shop) and also paid for the lawyer fees.
Alex was able to help me win my settlement. I would have had no idea where to start. If this happens to anyone around me I'd tell them to call Alex. Very helpful and professional!

On August 27th at 2:00 PM EST, I called your office seeking legal advice and assistance. Unfortunately, I encountered an individual who displayed an unprofessional and discourteous attitude. When I initially explained my situation, she abruptly informed me that your office does not handle such matters and hung up without allowing me to ask any further questions.
I called back to inquire about the specific cases your office does handle, as I believe my civil rights have been violated. However, before I could fully articulate my question, she interrupted, stating, "I said we don’t handle this, and I said have a great day," and then hung up on me once again.
Frustrated by this lack of assistance, I called a third time to request to speak with a supervisor. On two separate occasions, she answered the phone only to immediately hang up. When she finally responded, she simply said, "Please stop calling."
I would like to bring this matter to the attention of her supervisor, as this behavior reflects a lack of customer service skills and professionalism. It is disheartening to encounter such a response, especially when reaching out for help in a difficult situation. Individuals who prioritize dismissing potential clients over offering assistance should not be in positions where they interact with the public. As a college student in need of legal help, I expected better treatment.
I hope this feedback is taken seriously and that appropriate steps are taken to ensure others do not experience the same level of disregard.

The United States of America (USA) is known among my Countrymen as the "land of milk and honey."
However, obtaining the so-called "status & case " is difficult and time-consuming. Many looked for a chance to process the necessary paperwork. Due to the careful examination and assessment of the provided documents, several failed while others succeeded.
After going through the technical process for a few years, I am among those who succeeded. My sincere appreciation to Atty. Moumita who helped me along the way.
When it comes to helping people who want to obtain legal status in the United States, Attorney Moumita Rahman is fully aware of the legislation.
She is passionate about her work and shows empathy for her clients, qualities that are expected of a top-tier attorney.
Her rationality and justifiability demonstrate her capacity for logical thought. As a client, I was satisfied and my interests were protected by her legal strategies.
Therefore, I heartily endorse Atty.Moumita Rahman and her Team. this law firm have done an Explicit Job.
particular to others who wish to receive the same value-added services that I did.
Kudos to Atty.Moumita. Such An excellent job, indeed! Thanks A million!!!

Moumita Rahman was extremely helpful regarding my immigration status, more specifically with the petition for alien relative. She’s was very precise and attentive to detail regarding the paperwork that needed to be filled out. She’s was also very helpful in helping me understand the paperwork needed, the information that was required , and rough timeline of the entire process. She’s is also very responsive when it comes to calls or email with regards to the situation or any questions. I highly recommend Moumita Rahman.

I don’t know where I’d be without Gordon Law, P.C. They saved me during one of the hardest times of my life. My divorce was messy, and I was scared I’d lose everything. But Steven fought for me like no one else could. He was relentless in court and made sure I got what I deserved. It wasn’t just about winning—it was about making sure I was okay. I’ll never forget how hard they worked for me. If you need a lawyer who truly cares, this is the place to go.

IF your case has the potential to bring MORGA-DOLAN-LEVIN some big dollars -they’ll likely treat you more respectfully. The amount they make from you iS commensurate with how you’re treated.
That’s a lawyer for you!
The reason I would never recommend this law firm is this-
The 2nd woman who took my case information down was extremely creepy.

Prior to this year, I never had the need to engage a personal injury attorney but that changed when a third party created a hazard causing my injury. A friend recommended John and I’m glad I reached out. During my initial consultation, John set expectations, discussed next steps, potential outcomes and assigned Brian to my case. Brian navigated the process expertly and brought an unwavering focus to my case. His professionalism, compassion, and passion for helping a client is unmatched. My goal was for the third party to be held accountable for their gross negligence to hopefully prevent them from doing this to someone else. I believe John, Brian and team achieved this goal by securing an exceptional settlement for this type of injury. I highly recommend John, Brian and Schwartzapfel Lawyers.

I absolutely love Oot & Associates!! Leah Oot has been my attorney for about 5 years working on my nightmarish workers compensation case!! I mistakenly went with another attorney (Aaron Zimmerman) in the beginning and it cost me thousands of dollars and my life savings!! After shedding them, I retained Leah Oot of Oot & Associates and Leah & company righted the wrongs and got me moving in the right direction!! There are tons of Workers Comp attorneys out there, but choosing the wrong one can truly cost you a fortune and a world of grief, as it fid me!! Don't just jump at the first attorney you speak with, you owe it to yourself, your family, your future to land the right one!! I cannot recommend Oot & Associates enough, they give their all to ensure you get what you have earned!!
Absolutely FIVE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ STARS all the way!!
Thank you for everything Leah ❤️!!!

I made the decision to hire them based on a strong recommendation, and I can confidently say that I have not regretted it even for a single moment. While there may be other prominent law firms that boast about being the best, my definition of excellence lies in accessibility and responsiveness. Unfortunately, this is not always the case with some of the so-called heavy hitters who rely on call centers and inexperienced paralegals to handle your concerns. In contrast, David Philippone stands out as the most exceptional workers' compensation attorney. If you ever find yourself injured at work, he is undoubtedly the person you want fighting on your behalf.

I first met Attorney Contrastano in 1978 after an injury sustained on the job while employed by a major US Airline. As it happened and little did I know at the time, I had found the best attorney on the planet for New York Worker's Compensation cases. I was injured a few times on the job through all my years there and Attorney Contrastano kept me informed at every twist and turn in the road of each injury. I have sat in with him on many a hearing and when he knows he is in the right on any issue, will fight for justice and what is right and proper for any situation that arises. I could not have had a more worthy and knowledgeable person handling the maze that is WC Law through these many years. I never had to second guess him or wonder if all had been done that could be for he never left a stone unturned on any case he worked on with me. I am a difficult person to please when it comes to what is fair and right and Attorney Contrastano never disappointed me in any way. I cannot say enough about his tremendous capacities of juggling scores of cases at one time, his infallible memory and his habit of going above and beyond the call of duty at every turn in the road. Besides all that he is a gentleman's gentleman and a tremendous human being. I could not have asked for more.

I would certainly recommend the excellent staff at Sawers and Sackel Attorney's at Law. After being injured at work, I know I could always be reassured that they were there to assist me every step of the way.It made it a great deal easier to get through the Workers Compensation process. Sawers and Sackel were always very prompt to answer my many questions, they treated me like family and really assisted me when the difficult questions came up.
Sawers and Sackel guided me in a very caring manner and were always very concise.
I have already referred a friend to Sawers and Sackel. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

I have been with Sawer & Sackel for 3 separate workers comp claims and have been very unsatisfied until recently. Up until Holly took ownership in my cases I was left wondering what was going on. I was the one that had to initiate any and all inquiries into correspondences from the insurance carrier. And I rarely spoke with a lawyer and it was Never the same individual. Since working with Holly things have change my thinking entirely. She has taken ownership in my case and has gone above and beyond my expectations (or at least what my expectations of a law firm should be) and have reaffirmed my choice in a workers compensation law firm. Holly will initiate and follow up on all inquiries and respond in a timely manner. I have enjoyed working with her and look forward to a positive outcome in my pending cases.

I’ve been with Sawers & Sackel for a few months. From day one, they have been professional and answered all of my questions. Going through this process has been difficult. During a phone call, Holly was so supportive. A few days later, I received a letter from Holly, with handwritten encouragement from her! It brought me to tears. I’ve never heard of a law firm that cares this much, to not only work diligently on my behalf but to take an interest in me personally. Bill and Julie have also been so supportive to me I would recommend Sawers & Sackel to anyone!!

I sought Randi Proukou’s legal advice for a complicated WC case with a large school district. Mrs. Proukou & her staff always kept me informed of progress of my case & always responded back to any inquiries I made promptly. Not only was I awarded what was owed at my WC hearing but even in the
Fast pace of such proceedings Randi spotted an error in the figures. More importantly, she advised me to keep my case open which I did. This was the BEST advice & a decision I have been deeply grateful to her for. My joint injury which required a replacement has had numerous complications for 7 years! A second surgery was required 6 months ago, 7 years after my injury. In all this time, Zea Proukou’s firm has given me the personal attention that you would expect if you were a family member - which I am not! Her genuine caring and management of all the fine details has made it possible for me to trust that I can focus more on my rehab than I The complicated procedures and paperwork.
I have said a prayer of gratitude many times in These 7 years that I chose Zea Proukou’s firm to handle my WC case. For this reason, during COVID we had her legal services to do our first Will which she made easy and reasonable for us to do.

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.
