Gabe and his team were amazing. Having a mutual partnership with Toys for Tots as a Marine Corps League member, the decision was easy to make. Everything went smooth with no issues. If you ever need a reliable civil attorney, Ward Black Law is the only firm you should call.

had an outstanding experience with the assistance of Matthew Altamura & Shannon Altamura. They are compassionate, knowledgeable and handle everyone with the utmost ease and professionalism. They were incredible with representing me during an extremely stressful time in my life. They are patient, detail oriented, and not afraid to go up against large corporations and insurance companies. When your family has just gone through something traumatic and you meet with two extremely confident people that are willing to fight for you, it puts your mind at ease. If you are looking for legal advice, I would look definitely go with Matthew Altamura or Shannon Altamura. They are a highly intelligent and make a tremendous team.

When I first came to Travis, I was confused and lacking confidence with the Workers’ Comp legal system. Prior to speaking more about Travis, please allow me to explain how I had a 2nd chance to receive excellent legal representation, and meet Travis. My original attorney (not Travis Payne) felt my case had become too complicated, and asked me to settle for what I felt was an inappropriate amount, or pay him more $ money than the previously agreed upon rate. This 1st attorney contacted my former employer’s legal team, and let them know I was soon to be without representation. I felt this was likely done to scare me into paying this attorney what I felt was borderline extortion. Maybe this money was needed to keep up the payments in the opulently decorated fancy facility? What I do know is within days, I received packages of files containing literally hundreds of legal documents. My former employer indicated since I was without an attorney, I would have “X” days to answer many questions or else. I felt I was incompetent to represent myself, and felt I was being intimidated by my former employer. I was under tremendous emotional stress, and suffering from physical pain trying to recover from a serious workplace injury. I was feeling nervous, and knew I didn't have the skill set to manage my case. Unable to think clearly, I contemplated simply dropping my case. After a few less than friendly phone calls from people representing my former employer, I began seeking representation again. I called several attorneys, but struggled to find someone who seemed to care or had sincere interest in my case. I learned some workers' compensation attorneys only seemed interested in easy cases where a person had lost a limb (or worse) during an accident. I was glad I hadn’t lost a limb, however began to feel my situation was hopeless. Here's the good part. I thank my lucky stars for having the opportunity to speak with and meet Travis Payne. When I first met him, he came down the stairs of his modest facility, and had on a Jimi Hendrix T-shirt and jeans. 20 minutes later, I realized I met a true Salt-of-the-Earth Dude. In an hour, Travis taught me more about my rights than my previous attorney had in nearly a year. Travis even advised me of benefits I should have applied for months prior to meeting him. Travis told me, “Write this down, this is really important. I can’t believe your previous attorney hadn’t advised you to, but you still have time.….” Well, I felt and still feel Travis was a well-timed gift. I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to truly thank him enough. He advised me during our 1st call I had a strong case. He was honest, and said it would be a lot of work, but he'd be happy to help. He organized my case quickly, and instructed my former employer to stop contacting me. What a relief! Travis’ team was outstanding! Angie in particular was always exceptionally kind. They sent me a copy of all communications to my former employer, and I never felt in the dark. They also never pressured me to settle. Travis is not a doctor, however his handling of my case genuinely helped my emotional health. Later, my case settled for 800% more $ than the previous attorney asked me to accept. Plus, thanks to Travis’ professional advice, I continue to receive very necessary benefits which I wouldn’t have known I qualified for were it not for Travis’ compassionate, honest, professional advice. Regretfully, I remain permanently disabled, however am able to live above the poverty line thanks to Travis’ ability to advocate for me, and help me see the big picture. My only regret would be not having gone to Travis 1st. I have referred family and friends to Travis, because I feel his rare combination of Honesty, Caring, and Fighting skills are truly hard to find. If you’re finding yourself like I was, and simply unsure what to do with regard to your on the job accident, I would highly recommend calling Travis first.

Approximately 7 years ago (2010), I was injured while working. My employer did not deny any claims and arranged for the medical care that I needed. Unfortunately, after several surgeries, it became clear to my doctor that I would not be able to return to work in the capacity that I did before the injury. As such, my employer started the conversation regarding medical retirement. Up to the point of retirement, I didn't feel that I necessarily needed an attorney. However, when I started moving towards the inevitable medical retirement, I retained Mr. Payne. I was impressed with him, even before hiring him. I remember calling/emailing Mr. Payne if I had a question about the work comp situation. This was BEFORE I hired him to represent me. I think it says a lot about his character and his desire to help people that get into situations like I did.
After retaining Mr. Payne, he walked me through my journey of retirement at age 27. His knowledge of the work comp system is quite impressive. I must also add that I met with 2 other attorneys before retaining Mr. Payne. The others that I contacted just seemed to really be a little preoccupied with other cases. They also were not familiar with my employers medical retirement process. However, Mr. Payne knew all about the medical retirement stuff with my employer.
I am in my 4th year of retirement, and, to this day continue to have Mr. Payne represent me. He has a wealth of knowledge because he has been doing his job for many years. I have been to hearings with the industrial commission and was very pleased that he grilled the Vocational Rehab folks.
I would certainly recommend Mr. Payne to anyone dealing with work comp mess.

If you want an attorney who will fight for you within the confines of the law then Greg is a good choice. When I left my ex he filed for an Absolute divorce after the 1yr separation requirement. Greg fought for me to have court ordered alimony. There was an unusual twist in my case which Greg successfully helped me with. He is a kind, hard working man. He always promptly replied to my e-mails and answered my questions. His staff is wonderful. Every one I encountered was very kind and helpful Any messages I left for Greg were always given to him. Based on my experience I would recommend Greg if you need an attorney.

I was injured at work in 1993 and Mr. Brewer took my case. He made sure the insurance company paid for all of my medical bills and the time I lost at work.

Mr. Robert Lauver was very knowledgeable about which direction he should take my case. I didn't realize there were so many avenues in a Worker's Comp case. My case was so complex because of my multiple injuries and surgeries with numerous doctors. Mr. Lauver was clever enough to work though all the tricks of the opposing lawyer. He will do a good job for you.

I scheduled an appointment to see this attorney Tim Gray based on preliminary conversations about my appointment. Visited the lawfirm with documentation as well as providing lengthy discussions of my case.
I was charged $150.00 and told he would be in touch and provide the next steps for me. I waited and waited.
I emailed OVER AND OVER and two weeks later he responded saying he couldn't accept my case because, he was accepting a new and demanding case....Just left me hanging.
He never intended on providing representation. It was a easy $150.00 for his firm.
Such poor customer service.

Griff Morgan provided me with sound legal advice and strategy when I found myself in an unbearable situation with an employer. He was firm and yet very much a gentleman during negotiations. His use of tact, diplomacy and guidance made what was supposed to be a difficult day into a very acceptable experience. I had the better attorney at the table that day and everyone in the room knew it.

We received exceptional assistance with a very difficult situation. Jessica Leaven and her team were thorough and clear throughout the entire process. She readily answered any questions we had and treated us as partners in the process. She listened carefully to the details, sorted through all the ‘extra’ stuff we shared, and was careful to make sure she was resolving the concern in the way we wanted. When a question needed an answer quickly, she always came through. Her writing skills were miles above others involved and really helped us achieve our goal. She was persistent and thorough and I have no doubt that Ms. Leaven is the reason we were able to reach a satisfactory result. We are grateful for her assistance and would recommend her to others who are seeking simple guidance or formal representation.

Jessica Leaven handled my EEOC Claim without going to trial. She knows and understands pertinent laws to my case. Ms. Leaven was thorough and encouraged communication with me as well as with my former employer's attorney. While the opposing attorney right sorted to derogatory comments Ms. Leaven remained professional at all times. She was always open & honest with me. The case was satisfactorily resolved in my favor much sooner than I anticipated. I highly recommend Jessica Leaven.

Leaving St. Thomas More Church in Chapel Hill I was unaware of the posted speed. I received a citation, was to appear in court two months later. I was unable to attend, I live Cape Cod Massachusetts. The citation caught up to me two years later, on the renewal of my Massachusetts driving license... I contacted Attorney Goldston. He returned my email promptly and reassured me not to worry. Not only did he reduce my speeding violation, he stop my suspension. Thank you Attorney Goldston for your professionalism.

I hired Mr. Goldston based on the information on his website and a short telephone interview for a traffic violation. Note that I am experienced in hiring lawyers for personal, business, and real estate dealings. I also have two immediate family members that are lawyers in Atlanta.
Mr Goldston has my highest possible praise for the way in which he: (1) Handled my case. (2): Conducts the business affairs of his law office. (3): Responsiveness of his communications with me as his client.
I will positively hire Mr Goldston in the future if I have the need for an attorney in Durham.

I suffered a knee injury in a work accident in early 2021. It led to ACL and meniscus replacement surgery which kept me out of work for over eight months. Reid Agree explained the case to me without using complicated "legalese*, so that I understood my rights and my responsibilities as an injured worker.
I was compensated 2/3 of my weekly salary the entire time I was out of work. Later, I received a fairly large settlement to compensate for residual disability to the affected knee. And I was able to return to my job without significant limitations. Reid Agree always made me feel like I was his most important client in all phone calls and in-person meetings, and he got effective results, while keeping my expectations reasonable.
If you're injured at work, and worried about being treated fairly by your employer's insurance carrier, having Reid Acree's capable representation will bring you peace of mind, because he is diligent in fighting for the rights of his clients. I give him excellent ratings because he is a zealous, results-oriented advocate for justice.

Reid done a awesome job he will keep you up to date and will educate you along the way. I can't say enough good about this guy he knows what he is doing. Thanks' for all you done I never imagined I would receive the $'s I received from this case. Thanks again to Reid and his staff.

Jeanne has been our attorney for the last 10+ years. She helped us receive compensation when our 3 yr. son was attacked by a dog, leaving his lip almost ripped off. ( Our 1st Attorney was unable to achieve this). Jeanne also helped us win a lawsuit against our builder when he refused to repair our septic system which failed while we were in our 1 year warranty. She has always made time to answer any questions we may have, and give us sound advice on how to proceed. We would refer her to anyone looking for a trustworthy Attorney.

Recently I engaged Ms. Washburn to represent me in an automobile injury accident in which I was involved. I work in the legal profession with many attorneys, and know how unresponsive and uninterested they can be. Ms. Washburn gave my case the attention it needed, kept me informed, responded quickly to my questions and concerns, and resolved the case promptly to my satisfaction. She was very thorough and listened and learned everything about my case, and then she provided me with the benefit of her legal knowledge and expertise. She knows what she's doing and she gets her point across to the other side, and they understand that she means business. She did an outstanding job for me and I would highly recommend her. In fact, I have already recommended a friend to her!

Seth is an outstanding attorney that answered my questions and was very prompt in his responses. When I hired him, I already had 2 failed surgeries and I was facing yet another surgery for my injury.

I literally thank God for Seth Bernake, without him I do not believe I would have been able to get my employer to cover the surgery I needed after my accident. I had a very complicated case medically and the insurance company played every game in the book to get out of paying but Seth knew all the tricks and ultimately got them to pay for everything. Throughout the process his professional, calm and reassuring demeanor put me at ease during what was an extremely difficult time. I would not hesitate to recommend Seth to anyone in need of a lawyer for a workman's compensation issue.

First and foremost, I contacted Mr. Bernanke based on a reference given for taking excellent care of his clients regarding workers compensation type injuries. As an insurance agent, I had a severe ankle injury resulting in my inability to perform my duties and later resulting in termination.
There were four very specific characteristics, which I looked for, in my legal counsel: thoroughness, proactive, knowledge of the systems/law and equally important was his ability to empathize and understand how these issues affected me personally.
Seth and his paralegal staff were extremely thorough in all stages of the discovery process. His follow through in ensuring I received checks on time, but made sure I was compensated appropriately was paramount.
His superb knowledge of the legal and Medicare systems surrounding workers compensation made it possible to settle my case with minimum compromise resulting in a more than adequate financial payout. I highly recommend Seth as an attorney with outstanding expertise in all aspects of understanding the value of a workers compensation case.

Christian Gerencir is an attorney that will stand by and educate you on your options when you find yourself drowning with life’s uncommon problems. He was able to research solutions to my issues, present me with my options, and coach me through the implementation of the right potential solution for me. My family had many complex questions that Mr. Gerencir was able to quickly answer with professionalism far beyond his years. Our issues were primarily focused on a civil personal injuries claim and further he consulted on protecting assets in North Carolina.

I give Aaron Hemmings an A+++. I am from Maryland and my daughter was a passenger in an automobile traveling on I-95 coming home from Myrtle Beach where she was involved in a multiple auto collision. She was hurt but recovered after a year. I attempted to deal with the insurance casualty adjuster who made an offer that was insulting. I did my research and found the law firm of Hemmings and Stevens. Aaron took over and negotiated an offer that was nearly double the original offer. He did not stop there. He went after the trauma hospital where my daughter was taken and CIGNA Health Insurance Company to reduce their fees. My daughter is now in college and the settlement will help her with the college debt she is accumulating. Thanks Aaron. I will never forget what you did for my daughter.

Mr Hemmings is a fabulous lawyer, straight forward, honest, confident, and works with a great sense of timeliness. He is an excellent communicator too. I found him by simply googling "insurance specializing" type lawyers and so that's how I found him. I "interviewed" several other similar lawyers found the same way and chose him in an instant after talking with him. If you have an issue that needs to be solved fast, professionally and with a very communicative style, I highly recommend him. I was very pleased and I had used several lawyers previous so I had some to compare him to also.

Had the pleasure of working with Mr Williams. Upon his hiring, he was very thorough in explaining all details to the processes we had to go through as well as actions to be taken. He remained in touch with me to provide updates. Documents were frequently sent for my own review and he always remained responsive during the entire time. He had his work cut out for him due to the case having many obstacles and I was not sure of the outcome. However, Mr Williams remained confident and pursued every conceivable option on my behalf. In the end, he was able to obtain a healthy settlement for me which I did not think possible. I am very grateful I decided to work with this firm. Everyone there was knowledgeable, polite, and helpful. I am very appreciative of the outcome.

Attorney Williams represented me in an auto accident case. As an attorney myself, at first I thought I could handle it on my own. After he agreed to represent me, I felt a big sense of relief not having to deal with the insurance company on my own. Attorney Williams and his staff were very responsive and kept me in the loop, giving me much appreciated, objective advice. The settlement package they created looked better than anything I could have done. I am so pleased with the results in my case that I will continue to recommend this firm as always.

After the termination of my attorney-client relationship with prior firm I was in search of an attorney to represent me and my rights. We met, reviewed my claim and discuss our expectations of an attorney-client relationship. I hired attorney Williams to represent me in my personal injury case. He was straight forward and informative, when explaining the many details to process our case. He was honest, didn't mislead me and fought for my rights.
I was pleased with the outcome of my personal injury settlement.

Philip ‘Scott’ Hedrick successfully represented me and protected my rights during a difficult period. At first I was hesitant in obtaining professional legal representation to handle my case but Scott took the time to put my fears to rest. I’ve had bad experiences in the past with attorney’s that didn’t seem to be committed to MY best interest but Scott Hedrick kept me well informed and fought hard to achieve a successful outcome in my behalf. Not only would I not hesitate to use Scott to represent me if the need ever arose but I would recommend him to all my family and friends. Scott is not only a great attorney but a great person.

My son and I were hit by a drunk driver on Interstate 40. My truck flipped and we were both pretty banged up. The insurance company wanted to say that the drunk driver didn’t have permission to use the car he was in and weren’t going to pay anything to me or my son. We hired Doug to take over the case, and within a month he not only got the insurance company to agree to pay, he got them to pay all the money they had on the policy to us.
Without Doug we wouldn’t have gotten a thing. He’s a great lawyer and a really nice guy.

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.
