I had a worker's comp case that was a stress case, I had a few WC lawyers tell me they don't take stress cases because they are too difficult to win. Then I was referred to Sarah. Knowing the case was no "slam dunk" she was willing to take on the case and ended up winning and at the same time becoming a friend to my wife and I.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the outstanding legal representation provided by Sarah Bahia from Klee Woolf Goldman & Filpi LLP attorneys. Sarah's dedication, expertise, and unwavering support made a profound impact on my life during a challenging time.
I broke my back while working as a racehorse exercise rider at Saratoga Racecourse in 2021, and Sarah was not just my lawyer; she became a true friend and advocate. Her fierce determination and tireless efforts in fighting for my rights and securing compensation and partial disability benefits were nothing short of remarkable.
Sarah's professionalism, compassion, and commitment to my case went above and beyond any expectations I had. She not only navigated the legal complexities with skill and precision but also provided the emotional support that I much needed throughout the process.
I am forever grateful to Sarah for her exceptional legal representation and the genuine care she showed me. If you're in need of an attorney who is not only brilliant in her field but also a remarkable person, I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah Bahia. She is a true asset to Klee Woolf Goldman & Filpi LLP, and I consider myself fortunate to have had her by my side.

Mr. Zimmerman displays a hard working persistence in achieving positive results for his client. Mr. Zimmerman has represented me for my compensation case in a work- related injury. He has diligently advocated for certain medical procedures that were initially denied by my employer's insurance company, and has succeeded in obtaining authorization for those procedures. He always keeps me apprised in the status of my case, is very accessible by text or e-mail for comments, questions or concerns. I would highly recommend Mr. Aaron Zimmerman as an attorney who demonstrates professional expertise in achieving results.

I hired Sandra Radna as my malpractice attorney for two cases involving a misdiagnosis and improper treatment that led to a life-threatening condition, worsening my service-connected condition. Sandra was zealous in defending my interests every step of the way. Both cases were settled favorably around the five-year mark. I highly recommend Sandra to anyone dealing with personal injury issues—she fights hard for your interests and delivers results. She regularly responds, communicates and updates clients every step of the way.

I cannot express enough gratitude towards Kimberly and Richard of Lerner & Lerner for their outstanding work on my legal matter. From the outset, Kimberly demonstrated an unparalleled depth of legal knowledge and an intuitive understanding of the intricacies of my case. What truly set Kimberly apart was their strategic approach; they didn’t just follow the standard playbook. Instead, they meticulously analyzed every facet of the case, identifying a unique angle that had been overlooked.
Their ability to negotiate is nothing short of masterful. Kimberly engaged with the prosecution in a way that was both assertive and diplomatic, striking the perfect balance that ultimately led to an incredibly favorable outcome for me. On our first court appearance, Kimberly managed to get the matter resolved by way of a sealed disorderly conduct charge, a resolution that exceeded my expectations and had a profound positive impact on my life. This swift and favorable resolution allowed me to move forward without the burden of a prolonged legal battle or the anxiety it entails.
Moreover, Kimberly’s communicative and empathetic approach throughout the process was a source of great comfort. They made sure I was informed and prepared for each step, demystifying the complexities of the legal system. Their dedication to my case, combined with their legal acumen, truly made all the difference.
To anyone in need of legal representation that transcends the ordinary, I wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly Lerner, of Lerner & Lerner . Her exceptional skill, coupled with a genuine care for their clients, sets them apart as a beacon of excellence in the legal community.

Attorney Lerner was so helpful with her knowledge of my particular subject. She was not money-hungry and said don't hire me as of yet. Please wait until we see how the free attorney operates. I will most likely need her, for free is not always the best. Kudos to Kimberly Lerner.

I reached out to Mr. Frank Dito to help me with my Workers Compensation Case, and revive my case and correct the many errors of my previous Attorney. After sitting with him, he assured me that he would keep me well informed of my case and what to expect. Although the NYS Workers Comp is A Systematical mess, he assured me that it would all be addressed accordingly, in which it was. Whenever I received a mailing or Notification in regards to my case, I contacted my Attorney's office and they responded, explained, answered all questions IMMEDIATELY. My experience with Mr. Frank Dito and his staff was an absolute relief and a pleasure knowing my case was FINALLY going in the right direction. It was handled, WITH CARE AND PROFESSIONALISM, in which my previous Attorney LACKED. To receive a high recommendation from me, is not easy. But, Mr Dito's Law firm Deserves a HIGH RECOMMENDATION...PERIOD!
If you would like a law Firm to address all your concerns, represent you accordingly, handle ALL paper work, respect your case and Injury, then you must contact Mr. Frank Dito.
I assure you that him and his staff will handle your case with CARE and PROFESSIONALISM.

Having had an injury at work and being told by a judge that I needed a lawyer as the Worker’s Compensation Board doesn’t care about me. I searched for a lawyer. Many lawyers told me they would take my case, when I stopped working. I have a family to support. My life changed that day. On four different occasions maintenance was verbally informed that the floor was not safe. It was corrected approximately 10 minutes after I rolled my ankle herniating a disc in my low back, rolling my knee and ankle laterally. A family member had used Scott Frendel and told me he was great and I should call him. Scott has been working with me since 2014 on this Workman’s Compensation Case. When other lawyers wouldn’t take my case he did, he is that good.
Scott was able to help by giving me great advice and guidance. He and his team Daniella Pascaru, Sara and Wanda where patient and guided me through the process to help me win my case. They answered all my questions. Trusting them and following their directives definitely helped us to win this
case. Thank you all.

I am extremely grateful for the outstanding legal representation provided by Attorney Scott D. Frendel in navigating both my workers' compensation and Social Security Disability cases. He worked tirelessly to ensure I received the benefits I rightfully deserved.
I've been dealing with NY workers compensation for over 20 years. I had previous lawyers represent me, but they never seemed to interested in what I needed. What sets Scott apart is his commitment to keeping me informed every step of the way. Scott is not only highly proficient in the legal intricacies of disability and comp cases, but they also maintained open communication, keeping me updated on the progress and answering every question I had. He was always in my corner which provided me immense comfort during one of the most challenging times of my life.
Securing Social Security Disability benefits was not as easy a process as I thought it would be, especially during covid times, but his persistence and thorough approach ultimately led to success. I am constantly amazed that when he tells me a timeframe for what ever step we are at, whether it be 1 week, 1 month, or 1 year, I can count on it being accurate. Additionally, as my workers' compensation case nears its conclusion, I am confident in their ability to secure a favorable outcome.
I highly recommend Scott D. Frendel and Braunfotel & Frendel LLC to everyone in need for their exceptional legal services. His unwavering advocacy and genuine concern for my wellbeing has made him someone I trust to navigate the complexities of workers' compensation and Social Security Disability law.

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.

Since the first day that Jacobson and Han took me onto their books they have shown great courtesy, kindness and, indeed, affection. I cannot speak too highly of Ms Gilbert, Ms Han and Ms Jacobson- they have all been wonderful to me. With superb and expert professionalism they have guided me through the complexities of the Naturalization process. The Law Firm has an extremely caring team and I am treated to some of the best legal advice, support and encouragement that I could ever hope for. I HIGHLY recommend them!

Jenna as well as Jacobson and Han firm are the best!
Before I signed on with them I looked at many others but it did not take long to realize I was choosing and would be in the hands of the best group of lawyers and staff. The knowledge and personal attention was way beyond my expectation. Even with a case like mine that looked to be tilted completely against me and a 4+ year battle.
I was worried after paying off my responsibility in the first year that my case would not be as important to them since I was paid off. Boy was I wrong, the calls, communication, preperation was second to none, their office structure continued like if I owed them money this trully showed the integrity of who Jenna and her staff are. Always there to answer questions, calls and most importantly guidance.
Did I find others that would save me a buck, sure on the surface it would of seemed that way but after my personal experience and court victory I knew the pricing was more than fair. It backs the saying you get what you pay for and in this case trust me from my personal experience when I say you get much, much more.
A little about my case I would like to share with you....
Facing deportation removal due to my past criminal history, I realized I was facing a steep mountain. I thought my past was in my past but as I found out It was still haunting me. Though my life had changed and turned over to Christ I realized I had to face this and knew I could not face this alone and that I needed a lawyer but not just any lawyer. With the severity of my case I knew I needed a super lawyer. Anyone in a situation of deportation can tell you it is scary, worrisome and stressful. As my case dragged on for 4+ years I saw these worries grow with the time. I didnt want to leave my Wife or my infant daughter or any of my family which is all here in the states but that is where I saw the personal attention and proffesionalism continue and actually grow for 4+ years. I was scheduled for court about every six months, let me tell you they had me prepared for every court date I had. I was fully prepared and counseld every step through the process. All that stress and worrying was made manageble knowing you have God on your side and a top notch attorney and staff.
Believe me facing many counts which include attempted murder, gun possesion, drug possesion, gang relation and stolen vehicles all from my early teenage years. Jenna and the Jacobson and Han staff where able to show the person who I am now and the change I had made as a person being able to present all my work in the church and community and the outreach for the youth and tilt that scale in my favor as much as possible. This country has no doubtly been good to me and with the representation from Jenna and her staff I was granted relief and a clear path for my citizenship as well as a second chance to continue the community outreach work I do as well as be a father to my daughter who is playing with her toys next to me as I type, this as well as a husband to a great supporting Wife who is working on being a Detective or Parole Officer. You may not see the tears coming down as I type but I am grateful to have such a great oppurtunity to of found such an excellent lawyer to be by on my side.
Thank you!
Jenna, Marina, Niki and everyone at Jacobson and Han
To be honest after what I went through I could not wait to write this review for others to know what they are getting. I was and still am so happy that I told them they didnt have to sell me on getting my citezenship representation through them. I said their representation during my case did all the selling for them that I needed to see.
Cant wait to come back and leave another review after I become a proud citizen of this great country!

Maria represented my wife and I in a recent Real Estate transaction.
We sold our condo on Long Island, and it was a very involved transaction because there were multiple offers and several contracts. Maria handled everything with expertise.
Her knowledge of Real Estate Law and her professionalism were outstanding, and she was available to us at all times to answer our questions and deal with realtors and buyers attorneys.
We retained Maria because she had previously prepared our Wills and of course she did an outstanding job with that as well.
I cannot recommend Maria highly enough. She is a terrific attorney and the consummate professional.

We met Rick in 2003 when my husband was permanently injured on the job and forced to take an early retirement because of it. Rick has always been honest with us and put my husbands best interest first over the years in the many times that we have had to go attend hearings. He has also been a competent liaison between my husband and the 4 so far insurance companies that He has had to deal with over this. We feel so fortunate to have him on our side and feel that we would have been truly taken advantage of without him. Rick is an excellent attorney and we would recommend him to anyone needing representation.

Would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to compensation lawyer Richard Ferguson with his guidance, knowledge and professionalism with Workman's Compensation. I was hurt on the job in July 2000 & my Union leaders advised me to get a compensation lawyer realizing that it was a serious accident. Their recommendation was Richard Ferguson, stating "He's The Best". Calling to Rick Ferguson turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. Dealing with Insurance Doctors, Comp. Court, and all the medical & legal red tape, while going through multiple surgeries was extremely stressful & confusing. Rick was able to handle all the letters I received & always calming me down from all the confusion of understanding the basis of the communication and explained it to me in layman terms, never rushing to end the call.
Many times he accompanied me to court hearings and always impressed me of his handling with his high knowledge of the comp. law. I was given a Disabled Classification due to all the help and dedication of Rick & his wonderful, equally helpful Secretary. After engaging with them for 17 years, I consider them Good Friends & Thank God for all the help & guidance they have given me. I am forever grateful to Rick, his Secretary & My Union leaders.

When you need the advice and help from a lawyer , you want to choose one that knows the law inside and out and will work hard and fight for you . Richard Ferguson is that type of lawyer . I met Richard two years ago when he was recommended to me by a couple of coworkers . Most jobs have " occupational hazards " . i suffered some injuries from the occupational hazards from my job . The company I worked for began fighting my claims right from the start . Richard started fighting for me right from the start . His knowledge and perseverance is something I noticed about him as soon as he went to work on my case . He came highly recommended to me and now I highly recommend him to others . Richard continues to fight for me as the company continues to appeal . The company is on its third appeal because Richard continues to win my case . I f you need great lawyer , hire Richard now .

I would like to share a little bit about Steve and his staff...I was injured pretty badly in a fall at no fault of my own. Nervous , scared what I would do after Er visit and 3 surgeries later Mr Proudfoot assured me all would be ok and he would handle everything and he did handle everything. I didn't worry about anything if I called his office I always got an answer but honestly I didn't really have to call. I would just to ask if they got everything they needed I would have never guessed I would have been taken care of so well as I was with him and his staff . Anyone who needs help without worrying about it should see him .

I will start by saying Mr proudfoot was not our first choice or our second but I will say third time definitely a charm. After my wife was involved in a motor vehicle accident where she was involved in personal property damage, we were left wondering what exactly we were liable for concerning the other party. So we did probably what mosth people do who fell victim to whoever had the catchiest commercial on TV take it from personal experience we were so wrong lol so my wife dialed 8 and of course all we did was wait. Our first attorney made phone contact we never met anyone from that office and quite frankly sat there stale and stagnant, so much for big city lawyers needless to say. We eventually made the right decision to call Steve Proud foot I was shocked right away we met face to face with not just a paralegal but with Steve directly he gave us a rundown of the procedure and what to expect . Then steve not only went above and beyond but had many face to face meetings. Throughout this journey you could tell overtime he actually cared about my wife, her needs and took care of our family needs. He was a big city lawyer with a small town heart and when he said not to worry he would take care of everything we actually believed him and he showed us that not only does he know the case law and procedure but he talked to us so we would understand. He did just that took care of my wife's needs got us a reasonable settlement without even stepping foot in a court room. So again he got us big city results and we never left our small town atmosphere. Steve your my first call from here on out no question and heaven for bid if I need one in the future there's only 1 choice from here on out.

Randi, Dan, and the rest of the ZP team are incredible! Not only are they just very talented at what they do, they are also the nicest people to work with and they really care about all of their clients. They make you feel comfortable and at ease, and I will always recommend them to anyone I come across!

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.

YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A TRANSACTION
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.
LISTEN I MEAN EXTREMELY CREEPY- LEONA HELMSLEY BACK FROM THE DEAD CREEPY
I felt as though she was "trying to control her potential client’ -me and with vengeance)
Very creepy. My gut says stay away.
Ps I had no choice but to give one star

I contacted William for an injury to my hand. He explained everything and made feel at ease in an uncertain time. Beyond that he also explained that my particular injury was obvious and really didn’t require anything more than having the proper paper work filed. He also supplied the form numbers for that paper work and said his services shouldn’t be required. If they were, I knew he would be there for me.

I consulted Mr. Kistner for information on my workers comp carpal tunnel. He understood my situation and advised me on the law. Before I even finished explaining my situation he knew what was going on with my claim and what was going to happen next. He explained that I could likely handle my situation without hiring him, but that he would be happy to help in the future if I ran into trouble. I could not recommend a consultation with Mr. Kistner enough!

When I was referred to Grey & Grey, I had gotten hurt on the job and had elbow surgery. The attorneys and staff were so helpful in getting me the benefits I needed. A few years after that I became very sick and was in hardship as I was unable to work. I called Grey & Grey and they did an outstanding job helping my family. The attorneys, as well as the staff have a kind professional attitude, full of compassion and concern. We found them to be complete professionals in the handling of both our Workers' Compensation claims and our Social Security claim. They kept us informed on every aspect of the claim from start to finish. It was incredible how fast they worked and in a few short months I was approved for Social Security Disability. We would definitely refer family and friends to their firm.

I am so glad that i chose Andrew Latos to represent me in my car accident. He made me feel like part of the team and i was able to reach out to him whenever i had a question. He was so understanding and patient. I have definitely recommended him to some of my family and friends who needed an attorney. I am so happy with the service i got from him and his paralegal. I also want to say that one of his paralegal Alexis was so helpful and patient and explained each and every step that was happening on my case. She was great. I would hire them again and again if i ever needed to. :)

I can't say enough good things about Robert and his partner, James. From the very start, Robert was always there for me—day and night—going above and beyond to help me and my child. He truly cares about his clients and makes them his top priority. Robert is incredibly thorough, leaving no stone unturned, and he's not afraid to get his hands dirty to fight for what's right. His dedication is unmatched, and he never hesitated to do whatever it took to get the best possible outcome for me and my child. If you're looking for someone who will fight for you every step of the way, Robert is the attorney you need. Trust me, if you don’t choose Robert and James, you’re making a mistake!

I had some very bad lawyers represent me in my prolonged divorce case. Needless to say I carried much disdain in my heart for divorce lawyers. The opposing lawyer was a lawyer straight from hell. Two family members assisted me in getting Robert Hiltzik on board. Robert was able to move the case to completion and handled a very difficult case. He is a smart and competent attorney who gives sound advice and can handle even the most difficult situations. I would recommend Robert to anyone in need of a good attorney.

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.
