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!

Emily is hands down the best divorce/family court attorney. She has helped me with many issues. Custody, divorce, child support and the legal part of selling a house. She puts her heart into it, and she is the only attorney I completely trust...

If I could give -5 review, I would. They were paid to serve a party summons for State Supreme Court in Niagara County. They purport to have served the party, and emailed a copy of the service. Niagara County does not accept emailed copies. I repeatedly asked them to provide me the original ASAP, they said they would mail it, but never did. I had to hire a real process server. I suspect they never served the documents and that's why they failed to produce the affidavit. UPdate - I told them I'm reversing the charge and then the affidavit was mailed to me, however it did not bear the same signature as the one emailed to me. I paid them to serve another party who moved from the local address. I acquired the new address, which is out of state, asked them to mail the notice, and they claim it isn't legal to do so. I had to provide the the NY law that said it is legal, and they argued with me. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE PEOPLE, NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS

Called on behalf of a client. Lady I spoke with was very rude for some reason when I inquired about rush fees vs non-rush fees. Will be bringing the firm's business elsewhere.

I had to have my grandsons father served for back child support and because he lives in a different county, the Niagara County court couldn't serve him, it was up to me. In the past his girlfriend would say he didn't live there so I had to come up with an alternative plan. I hired WNY Process and couldn't be happier! Service was great and reasonable. Would highly recommend. Thanks again, Barbara Bruning-Ensminger

Jake accepted our case for child custody modification. Being our first experience with family court, we had a lot of questions. Jake and his team took the time to meet with my husband and I to answer all our questions in detail. Jake and his team were respectful, honest and empathetic to our case. We appreciated the communication (via portal, e-mail, phone) fair fee, and overall positive outcome.

He went above and beyond just being a “lawyer” he genuinely cares about people. And that is the lawyer everyone needs! Thank you Todd for EVERYTHING you are the best !! Because of you I have a huge weight lifted off my back.

When seeking legal counsel, it is important to have someone who is competent and knowledgeable about the law. When Todd takes on a case, especially in family and criminal law, he is very knowledgeable about the law and methodical in his approach to handling the case. Clients are comforted in knowing that their case will be handled thoroughly, and if there is a issue that Todd cannot address, he does not mind providing clients with a resource that can.

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:

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.

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:
