After my MVA accident I noticed I was unable to reach a settlement due to obstructive and pernicious behavior on the part of the responsible party’s insurance company. I than contacted Thomas J Foley, III to represent me. I admired his calm thorough and considered approach, his detailed knowledge and wealth of experience together with his unwavering desire to reach an acceptable solution. If you are looking for strong representation or facing an unreasonable and unyielding party, I strongly recommend contacting Thomas J Foley, III, at Foley law firm, who will fully fight for you to hold the responsible party’s insurance company accountable.

I was involved in a collision with a drunk driver. My medical bills were extensive and my auto insurance was not given me answers I understood. I honestly could not comprehend all that was being discussed as everyone was speaking medical and insurance lingo. I contacted the family lawyer and they directed us to Thomas J Foley III. He gave me the answers to the question I had and provided the best representation, I could ever ask for. He communicate with me in all aspects of my case and provided me with counsel to receive the settlement I deserved. I did not feel alone through the whole ordeal. If you are in search of an attorney who to provide the best service, communicates your need and addresses your concerns then Thomas J Foley is that person I recommend.

Carin O'Donnell recently represented me in my personal injury case. Without hesitation I would recommend Carin to anyone, as well as use her and Stark & Stark again. A few areas very important to me that Carin covered throughout my case was communication, professionalism, knowledge and expertise, as well as being very personable which made everything extremely comfortable throughout the duration of the case. One thing that really sticks out about my case was again, communication. Throughout my case I had many questions and without hesitation called. Carin never failed to stay on the phone with me for as long as I needed until I fully understood the answers to my questions. Carin also stayed very honest throughout the duration, specifically explaining to me my strengths and weaknesses of my case which helped making important decisions easier. She diligently worked to make sure I was satisfied with the conclusion of the case. I would highly recommend Carin O'Donnel in need of a lawyer pertaining to her area of expertise.

Have you ever looked at someone and thought “that’s the type of person I’d love to sit next to...but not across from?” Lawyer Richard Jaffe is that man to me! HE WON E-V-E-R-Y MOTION IN BOTH of my extremely difficult WC AND SSD CASES! Richard Jaffe looks out for YOU! I know how hard it is to put your trust, your LIFE in someone else’s hands...But I honestly wouldn’t want anyone else by my side. He’s there fighting for what you want, your needs, your rights.He doesn’t pressure you to settle and again he WON every motion, every case, every argument, every settlement...he won them for me...even the ones we thought were long shots!!! I’ve always felt seen, heard, supported and important. I have thrown some extremely difficult, at times dire situations at him. Yet somehow he’s always pulling through for me! Due to my injuries I get overwhelmed, confused, forgetful and wound up.Richard is always patient with me, is able to calm me down quickly and easily. I always feel reassured after talking with him. He’ll tell you like it is...nicely...no bs or fluff, which I truly appreciate! He has very fair to YOU payment arrangements, unlike others I met in the past. I wish I would have found him earlier, it would have prevented so many tears, wasted years and so much anxiety! I honestly don’t know what I would have done or what would have happened if I didn’t find Richard Jaffe! He swooped in an saved me several years ago. I have very high expectations which are not easily or commonly met. Richard Jaffe and his Paralegal Christina have EXCEEDED my expectations and continue to do so. I couldn’t be happier!!! I am a real client. I truly recommend this Lawyer!!!!

Louis Michelsen was really rude during my call with him in regards to searching for a case. Every possibility I suggested, reapplying for a second SSI Case, further research, and carrying out the first SSI Case, he scolded me, calling me a "Loser," and said it was 99.5% of chance of losing at every possibility. He blasphemed during the phone call, and made my hopes of getting Legal Aid for my Disability a lot worse. To the Establishment, everyone else was not rude, and acted professional. However, unless this place terminates Luis Michelsen, more People are going to turn away from this Establishment in disgust. Never again am I going to turn to this place.

Working with Thomas Wilken has been great. He communicates to you as a normal person. He showed so much passion and understanding. He always worried about the client and not worried about lining his pocket. He works hard to get you taken care of instead of pushing you to the back burner. He doesn't sugarcoat. He cracks the whip when the defendant is trying to prolong your case. Thomas's paralegal was always ready to answer questions or if she didn't have the answer she was fast to get the answer. It has been a pleasure to have Thomas and Ira H. Weinstock P.C on my side.

What I want to say about GB does not fit here because is so much. Gabby Raful and Mike Malvay handled my truck accident and have since become family to me. From the moment that you walk in you can feel the trust and positivity. Yohalna, the paralegal in the front makes you feel comfortable. Javier the Philly paralegal also makes you feel comfortable Gabby and Mike give 100 percent. Gabby is one of those rare attorneys that text you and keeps you posted all the time even on weekends.They don't think about money, they think and give you what's best for you. You can feel the trust and security. Gabby is simply amazing, and they make a dream team. I am Gabby s number one fan. What I appreciated the most was that I would call Gabby and she would call or text immediately right back. I highly recommend them.

His expertise and willingness to help me to understand the WC process is beyond any words. His is simply GREAT ! Definitely GO TO person. He took my case to his heart and did a great job. Took time in his busy schedule to explain things to me, made sure I am in good hands, that was what I needed the most: feel that I am not alone, well taken care. We got a nice setttlement too.

Dan Monahan was the first lawyer I ever needed in my life. And, while the circumstances for requiring his representation were unpleasant, and at times challenging, Dan was a steadfast and reassuring presence throughout my experience. I would not have wanted anyone one else as my advocate. He was the consummate professional throughout my experience; his dedication to my case was the apparent factor in a very successful outcome. Many times during the course of the proceedings in which Dan represented me, I was unsure, or anxious, or had questions. His prompt replies gave me a great sense of comfort; as he always addressed my concerns with care, experienced insight, and a reassuring tone which made more difference to me than he probably knew. I can't thank him enough.

When your child is hurt in an accident you don't know what to do.. Phones are ringing, insurance companies calling, and all you want to do is take care of your child and get them the care that they need. I didn't need to worry about how I was going to pay for all of this, and answer a million questions when I didn't even have all the answers yet myself. Mr Marzzacco quickly put me at ease, stopped all the phone calls and let me take care of my daughter! He handled everything but always kept me updated on her case and how we needed to proceed. He was kind and dedicated. Anytime I have a question, I quickly got a response from him or his wonderful staff. I really can't say enough about my experience because they were there during the worst year of our lives, and did his part to get my daughter what she deserved. I would never use another Lawyer and would recommend him to everyone and anyone I know. Thank you for Everything!

Kinda like what you see in the movies and television shows. That famous phrase "Best Damn Lawyer In Town!!" fits Patrick perfectly I would say. About three years ago I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident that almost cost me my life because of a reckless driver. When I went to see Pat for the first time, he came across as a very friendly and pleasant individual who made the atmosphere of the meeting very calming and laid back. During the meeting Pat was very informative and attentive to all the facts and information that I had with me at the time. The thing that I really liked about Pat was that he had a "no-bullshit" attitude and was straight to the point with his honesty as to how the case would go if he were to represent me, but the thing that sold me on his skill as a lawyer was his concern for me and my health first and foremost. His instruction was very simple; get myself back to good health, follow the medical treatment that I would have to go through and last but not least have patience's. As Pat would explain it to me, a case like mine would take several years to come to a resolution but his biggest concern was that we didn't overlook or miss any injuries that could come up during my healing process. It is three years later and my medical treatment is still ongoing. Patrick is doing a fantastic job of putting this case together and is on top of everything. Pat and I have a relationship that is by definition a very relaxing and informal arrangement where we can both speak freely to one another, no holds barred. There is one thing that I have to put out there. Pat is a very busy individual that seems to have a large client base so don't be surprised that when you need to get in touch with him he doesn't respond in a timely fashion. As I said, Pat is so on top of his game and great to converse with. Just keep in mind, when he says "have patience's", take that advice to heart and it will go a long way if you should ever need his service. Just like I said "Best Damn Lawyer In Town!!".

Finding a lawyer that's knowledgeable and experienced is easy. Finding one that's compassionate, approachable and has a heart, is a different story! I've found all of these in Eric Nash. Not only was he extremely professional, but he explained the options of my case in very easy to understand terms, going over the pros and cons of each option, so we can decide which route was the best for this case. In the end, this saved me from making a huge mistake, that would've cost me more time and money. Eric Nash was my life saver! So now I'm not only happy and comforted that he's only a phone call away, but I'm now honored to call him a friend.

I've known Eric for many years. He took care of me when I went out on work men's comp. I was lucky to have found him when I did, because I was being forced back to work when I could barely get around. Being a preschool teacher you need to be quick on your toes. Eric called me back whenever I had a question or if I ever got any bills that weren't being paid by the company. Eric is trustworthy and I would use him again if needed.

My STD benefits was denied because a major insurance company felt I can go back to work 6 weeks after a second surgery contrary to my doctor’s advice. I went to Ed Sweeney and he immediately took action before I left his office on the first visit. One month later, he won my case and the benefits were returned. I was extremely impressed with the handling of my case and knew he would be my attorney for all future legal matters. He is dedicated, honest and an expert in his field. If you want an attorney not afraid to defend you against the insurance companies when they make wrong decisions, then I recommend Ed Sweeney Law firm. Thank you Ed, you’re the best!

First, I spoke with Attorney Clark A. Mitchell Sr. concerning my case. He was extremely knowledgeable but could not take my case because it was not his specialty. He referred me to Attorney Clark A. Mitchell Jr. He could not take my case as well for the same reason. Both attorneys were professional and caring when I spoke with him. Not only did he actively listen to my case, but they also gave me suggestions and advice in general. When they explained it was not their area of law and could not represent me, they referred me to other lawyers. They were extremely patient.

Since I didn't currently have an attorney, I initially sought out Clark Mitchell based on his reputation as one of my area's preeminent lawyers. I was serving as the executor of both my aunt's and mother's estates. With absolutely no experience or real knowledge of the process or my role in it, I was very worried about retaining an attorney that would be efficient, willing to guide me, and easy to work with. I could not have been more pleased with Mr. Mitchell and his staff. From the outset, Attorney Mitchell and his staff guided me through this foreign process, allowing and encouraging me to ask what I'm sure were trivial and inconsequential questions. They were patient knowledgeable, efficient, and affordable. Mr. Mitchell took what could have been an overwhelming and unpleasant experience and made it both painless and seamless. I have since used Attorney Mitchell for all my other legal matters with similar results. I highly recommend Clark Mitchell and Associates for anyone looking for an experienced lawyer with a caring touch.

What a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Do for You

A workers’ compensation lawyer specializes in helping employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job to receive the benefits they are entitled to under workers' compensation laws. These lawyers represent injured workers in claims for medical benefits, wage replacement, and other compensation related to workplace injuries or illnesses. They also help when claims are denied, benefits are delayed, or disputes arise with the employer or the insurance company.

Whether you've been injured on the job, developed an occupational illness, or are dealing with a denied workers' compensation claim, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you navigate the claims process and ensure you receive the full benefits you deserve.

When Should I Hire a Workers' Compensation Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a workers' compensation lawyer in several situations, especially when complications arise during the claims process or when your rights as an injured worker are being challenged. Some common reasons to hire a workers' compensation lawyer include:

  • Claim denial: If your workers' compensation claim has been denied, a lawyer can help you appeal the decision and represent you in hearings or litigation.
  • Inadequate benefits: If the insurance company offers you a settlement that doesn’t cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf for a fair amount.
  • Delay in receiving benefits: If your benefits are being delayed, a lawyer can help expedite the process to ensure you receive timely compensation.
  • Permanent disability: If your injury leads to permanent disability (partial or total), a lawyer can help you navigate the more complex process of securing long-term benefits.
  • Retaliation by employer: If your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers' compensation claim (e.g., by firing or demoting you), a lawyer can protect your rights and pursue legal action.
  • Third-party liability: If a third party (e.g., a contractor or equipment manufacturer) was responsible for your injury, a lawyer can help you pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
  • Pre-existing conditions: If your employer or the insurance company claims that your injury is related to a pre-existing condition, a lawyer can help you present evidence showing that the injury was work-related.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can prevent delays, avoid mistakes, and ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to under workers' compensation law.

What Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Do?

A workers' compensation lawyer provides a range of legal services to injured workers, ensuring that they receive the benefits they deserve. Their tasks often include:

  • Filing claims: Helping injured workers prepare and file their workers' compensation claims to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
  • Appealing denied claims: Representing workers whose claims have been denied and guiding them through the appeals process, including hearings and court appearances.
  • Negotiating settlements: Negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
  • Handling disputes: Resolving disputes between the injured worker, the employer, and the insurance company regarding the amount of compensation or the nature of the injury.
  • Coordinating medical evidence: Gathering and presenting medical records, expert testimony, and other evidence to support the workers' compensation claim.
  • Advocating for benefits: Ensuring that injured workers receive all the benefits they’re entitled to, including temporary or permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and medical treatment.
  • Filing third-party lawsuits: In cases where a third party is responsible for the injury, a workers' compensation lawyer may also pursue a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional damages.

How Are Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Paid?

Workers' compensation lawyers typically charge a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if they successfully recover benefits for you. This fee is usually a percentage of the benefits awarded, and the specific percentage is often regulated by state law. Here's how it generally works:

  • Contingency fee: The lawyer's fee is typically between 15% and 25% of the total benefits awarded to you. You don’t have to pay any upfront legal fees, and the lawyer’s fee comes out of the settlement or benefit award.
  • No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t recover any benefits for you, you generally don’t have to pay for their services.
  • State regulations on fees: Many states cap the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge, and some states require the fee to be approved by the workers' compensation board or judge.

Be sure to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a workers' compensation lawyer typically depends on the contingency fee arrangement, meaning the lawyer’s fee will be a percentage of the benefits you receive. General cost estimates include:

  • Contingency fees: Most workers' compensation lawyers charge between 15% and 25% of the total settlement or benefits awarded. For example, if you receive $50,000 in benefits, the lawyer’s fee would range from $7,500 to $12,500.
  • State regulations: Some states limit the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge. In these cases, the fee is usually capped, often at 20% to 25%, depending on state law.
  • Additional costs: Some lawyers may charge for out-of-pocket expenses, such as filing fees, medical records retrieval, and expert witness testimony, though these costs are typically deducted from the settlement after the case is won.

You should always ask for a clear explanation of fees and potential additional costs during your consultation so you understand the financial arrangement.

Top Questions to Ask a Workers' Compensation Lawyer

Before hiring a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with workers' compensation cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your injury is severe or the case involves disputes.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and whether there are any additional costs you need to be aware of.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes.
  4. Have you handled cases like mine before?
    Find out if the lawyer has experience dealing with cases involving similar injuries or disputes, such as denied claims or permanent disability.
  5. How long will the process take?
    While it’s difficult to predict an exact timeline, the lawyer should be able to provide a general estimate based on their experience with similar cases.
  6. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your claim.

How to Check the Credibility of a Workers' Compensation Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable workers' compensation lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no disciplinary actions against them.
  • Look for workers' compensation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in workers' compensation law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and service.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience in workers' compensation cases.
  • Check for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) or local bar association committees on workers' compensation can indicate the lawyer’s commitment to this area of law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most out of your first consultation with a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Accident report or incident documentation: Bring any documentation related to your workplace injury or illness, including accident reports or notifications to your employer.
  • Medical records: Provide copies of medical records, including treatment notes, doctor’s reports, and any information related to your injury or condition.
  • Employer correspondence: Bring any letters, emails, or forms related to your claim from your employer or the workers' compensation insurance company.
  • Wage and benefits information: Provide information on your wages, benefits, and any lost income due to the injury.
  • List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the process, costs, and what to expect moving forward.
  • Timeline of events: Prepare a timeline of the incident, your injury, and any medical treatment or communication with your employer and the insurance company.

Being well-prepared for your consultation will allow the lawyer to assess your case more effectively and provide you with the best possible legal advice.
