The fact that Bill brings decades of big-firm, partner-level experience to the table is only part of why he belongs on your shortlist. Intangibles matter, sometimes more. Many cases are hedged upon the responsiveness of the representation. In my experience Bill has proven accessible and competitive, and he really has the pulse of local litigation. Sharp wit never hurts your case, either. Really recommended.

Mr. Beveridge has shown nothing short of total professionalism , responsiveness , and knowledge in his handling of all our corporate legal needs. I would not hesitate to highly recommend him to anyone. He designed and implemented our nonprofit corporation, and set up a lease agreement between the nonprofit corporation and our S-corporation. There is no doubt in my mind as the president of our S-corp. that I can speak for the entire board of directors in saying that Mr. Beveridge will be handling all of the corporations legal needs in the forseeable future.

I was blessed to have the opportunity to have Douglas Williams represent me in a very serious worker's compensation case against a powerful company. I went through extreme pain & very wrongful negligence causing my life to be traumatic & health deeply damaged. The case was the first type of this kind. All other lawyers were intimidated by the challenges and were even disrespectful to me. Douglas Williams was respectful, compassionate, confident & accepted the case with ease and grace. He was open and honest in communicating every challenge and possibility. He completed everything he said he would and overcame every obstacle turning out what everyone else made excuses not to do saying was an impossible win. He was fearless, committed to the lengthy process & demonstrated great compassion and integrity. A true master, I am greatful and thankful. Contact him immediately truly the best.

Douglas is an exceptional attorney in every sense of the word. Professional, compassionate, honest, supportive and an outstanding example of integrity in its highest form. Douglas' expertise not only brought me forward in my workers compensation case but he also restored in me trust and faith in the legal system. I was injured at work and needed help with my case. While trying to navigate my way through the confusing world of workers compensation procedures, I was in pain, needed help, and lost hope. Then I soon realized that I had to stand up for myself but I wasn't able to do that on my own. I sought the best and that is exactly what I received when meeting with Douglas. He not only guided me through the process but he did so with genuine concern and care. He not only brought a positive, successful closure to my case but he also gave me what I needed the most--peace of mind. I highly recommend Douglas Williams.

It is very important that folks receive an honest and sincere opinion based on fact. I am a current client of Douglas Williams, and I can honestly say that Douglas is an exceptional professional and a true asset to the legal system and most importantly to his clients. The everyday person would certainly have difficulty trying to navigate their way through the legal system on their own, and having a true and honest professional to assist them is the key to the success in their case. Douglas assists his clients in all aspects of their case and not only is a success in the monetary sense but he also earns his clients trust and confidence from start to finish. A person can feel very small in the big world of the courts, judges, paperwork and confusing legal terminology. Douglas gives us a voice, within the legal system and he has his clients best interests in mind throughout the entire process.

Hired Domenic after I was not able to get thorough paperwork or understanding on my own. With his guidance from the first phone call. I felt comfortable with my decision to hire him. He guided me along with help getting all records needed. I was able to get a speedy hearing due to my circumstances and granted we won the appeal. It's a shame that more people don't seek professional help for appealing or even if you want to do it yourself Domenic bellisario is able to explain the reasons and clearly gave me hope for my future after my injuries. I worked from age of 17 years till 49 only to be told I could still do certain work. My medical records were not available or released. Get advice. Call him, he will answer your questions and respect you. Thanks my family won't be homeless this winter.

Anyone looking to hire an Attorney that is knowleable in workers compensation, he definately has my vote. Att Kunkel was able to settle my case much faster than I ever anticipated, and for much more than anticipated. I know from experience that when you call some big name TV Attorneys you get to speak with thier receptionist or some underling, that was not the case here. He was always available to answer any questions or to calm any concerns that I had. He was very helpful to me and I would definately recommed him for all your compensation needs...

Attorney Ronald Tomasko represented me on my lengthy Workers' Compensation case. Ron is well versed and extremely knowledgeable with all aspects of Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Law. Ron traveled a three hour round trip distance, (at least a dozen times) to represent me before the Workers' Compensation Judge. He was always well prepared and on time. I can say without a doubt no other attorney could have performed better for me than Ronald Tomasko. After six years Ron's tenacity, and case law knowledge achieved a Workers' Compensation Judgement in my favor!! If you are in need of an Attorney who will work tirelessly for your best interest, Ronald Tomakso is the person to represent you!!

Mr. Tomasko resolved a complex contract dispute for me, during which I found him to be the consummate professional.

His interaction with myself as a client was likewise very positive. My calls to his office were always taken when placed or promptly returned. He explained the pertinent legal issues clearly and patiently and he demonstrated sincere interest in my case. I do (and often have) recommend Ron Tomasko unreservedly.

My wife suffered a serious injury at work due to a reckless, immature, practical joker co-worker. I was familiar with Munley Law because their presence in NEPA is everywhere. So is their great reputation! I contacted them, thinking our situation was too small for such a large, prestigious law firm. They took our case immediately. Her workmens comp was denied. We were initially assisted by a fantastic paralegal named Sherry Jenkins. Then Caroline filed an appeal legally and assisted us through the legal maneuvering. Caroline's presence & legal expertise came to light through 2 hearings. And then she negotiated with the workmens comp insurance attorney to secure us a very fair settlement agreement. We can't thank Caroline and her staff enough! She is accessible, empathetic, and she spent a lot of time with us, making us feel comfortable & understanding the process. I never thought such a large law firm would fight for the "little guys & gals". Caroline Munley is a true gem! Whatever your situation is...big or small....I would highly recommend Caroline and Munley Law. Thank you so much Caroline and go EAGLES!!!

Mr. Sapienza is the most honest, straight forward, no holds barred man I have ever met. I was hurt at work in 1999. I had 3 back surgeries between 2000 and 2002 and I was only in my early twenties and couldn't work. I applied for social security disability and was denied. I knew it was time to find an attorney and get the legal help I needed. Two small mouths at home to feed and a husband that was working 3 jobs just to keep food in our mouths was the hard journey we were facing. When I first met Mr. Sapienza he told me he would take my case, but that we had a hard fight ahead of us. He told me I had two strikes against me already, one, I was young and two, I didn't look like I was disabled. I just wanted to cry. I couldn't lift over 5lbs, I had to have help washing my hair and I could even pick up my two young daughters. Mr. Sapienza looked at and said " I said it wasn't going to be easy, but I will fight for you!" I felt a wave of relief and the journey started. I called Mr. Sapienza frequently frustrated with the slow government process and each time he took my calls or called me back within 24 hours. Each time he answered ALL my questions, explained all the technical jargon in laymans terms and would tell me to hang in there and not give up. We filled out form after form and waited patiently for the next step. In the end we ended up in Pittsburgh in front of the Workers Compensation review board, I underwent a gruelling physical and demanding questions all with my smiling, encouraging attorney by my side. I was determined disabled and started to cry. It is one thing to know you have disabilities, but its something totally different to be told that you are basically useless. I thanked Mr. Sapienza for sticking by me with all the odds against me and for putting up with all my neurotic pestering. I stayed on Disability until around 2005 and many bouts of physical therapy. I have since gone back to work, took college courses for a medical career and have been working ever since for a local doctors office. Mr. Sapienza taught me that a disability isn't my life, it's just a stepping stone along the way. Thank you again Mr. Sapienza, you are an absolutely amazing attorney, man and all around human being. God bless.

He took the time to meet with us and help us through everything. My family will always trust and use Attorney Sapienza.

Mr Morlok was a fantastic lawyer. Before any court date, we sat down and discussed the case at hand. His opinions, advice, and recommendations were excellent. After our first court date, he insisted we kept in contact, and met in person a few more times to make sure things get handled correctly. In our meetings, we went over everything more than once to make sure we were on the same page with the best direction to be going headed into court. Mr Morlok was extremely professional and explained every detail as many times as needed to make sure I understood what was going to happen while sitting on trail. We both went over my testimony over the phone when I wasent availiable, and during meetings. Very flexible hours to acme date my work schedule. At our last court date, I didn't have to do anything except show up, he took care of everything from start to finish flawlessly. I would recommend William Morlok to any individual seeking a lawyer. I hope not to need him again in the future but if a situation arises, I know who to call without hesitation.

Bill provides impeccable customer service, is easily accessible, and devotes individualized attention to our needs and concerns. If there is an issue out of his realm of expertise, Bill consults with peers in the field and/or makes referrals. Bill is a strong advocate, and it is clear that he puts his clients’ needs first: he is a good teacher, always ensuring we understand the process; a detailed communicator, continually keeping us informed; and a skillful negotiator, confidently putting our minds at ease.

Being hurt severely in an automobile accident where I was hit very hard from behind impacted my life more than I ever would have thought. My case, being that I was hit during working hours, was anything be cut and dry.

Within a very short time of Joe’s handling my case, he was able to have my Workers Comp benefits re-instated at 100% and is currently negotiating a lump sum settlement.

Any time I had a question I would call the office and he would get back with me at his earliest convience. I wish i got more of a settlement but I am satified with what I got. I would refer other people to him.

He was always available if I had any questions or issues regarding my case. He kept in contact with me as well and explained the process. I never felt abandoned or alone during the legal process. He was very professional and friendly as was his staff. I would recommend Mr. Fisher to my family and friends in a heartbeat.

Mr. Fisher recently completed my car insurance claim that was filed on my behalf due to an arm injury. I was completely naieve to the legal procedures involved. He thoroughly explained things to me in a simple and concise manner to which I was able to clearly understand the situation that I was dealing with. Most importantly, he was not just my lawyer, he was a part of my support system and became a friend along the way. I was very happy with the end result. He was straightforward with the details about how car insurance companies handle the claims on their end once a client files the claim. I am grateful for his assistance. I would recommend him to anyone that I know of that has the need for his services. In addition, I 100% trust him to assist me should I have any future legal questions or issues

I contacted Mr. Fisher regarding an injury I sustained due to a improperly assembled bicycle. I had made several trips to the hospital, and had lots of bills and paperwork being sent to me. From the minute I made contact with Mr. Fisher, he explained in detail what services he could provide, what the end-goals were for my case, and walked me through every step of the process. He was always available to answer any questions I had, and I always felt comfortable reaching out to him. In the end, all of the goals for my case were met, and then some. I was more than satisfied with the outcome. I would recommend Mr. Fisher to my family, my friends, and anyone in need, not just because of the result of my case, but because I felt that he cared about me and my situation, and having someone like that in your corner is invaluable.

Benjamin Steinberg is a good lawyer despite my case was lost due to Brookdale living center under handed techniques of forging my hand writing and fake witnesses. Ben gave a great fight. He cares about his clients and he does check on them. Going into my case I wish I would have seen him sooner before my company manipulated me into agreeing to their ideas. To those who are seeking a lawyer I would recommend him. Do not risk your chance by going to your company for advise because they will take advantage of the employee. I express the importance to getting to know the knowledge you need by going to the lawyer first before going to your company. It would have made a world of difference. Do not allow the company to push you around stand up for your self and get a great person like him.

I was involved in a slip and fall accident. I called Benjamin Steinberg for assistance on what to do. He was professional while being so compassionate and caring. He advised me on what to do, answered my questions and was very patient with me. I knew he was the attorney to handle my case. Ben spoke to me several time to keep me up to date on what was happening with my case and of course he was always concerned about how I was feeling. After several months of medical treatment I felt I was feeling better and spoke to Ben about settling the case. Much to my surprise, I received a larger settlement than I had expected. Wow, Ben is terrific! I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for legal help in any type of accident. He is tops as far as I am concerned.

I hired Ben Steinberg to be my attorney after I was in a serious automobile accident. I hired Ben during a difficult time, and in retrospect it was the best decision I could have ever made. Over the course of our attorney-client relationship, Ben placed an emphasis on keeping me informed and empowered. I came away very impressed with Ben's vast knowledge in personal injury litigation and the inner-workings of the Philadelphia region's legal system. From the outset, Ben was my tireless and zealous advocate. During an uncertain time, Ben was with me every step of the way. I believe that Ben Steinberg's professionalism and unflagging devotion to always act in my best interest is what eventually led to my very significant settlement. I recommend Ben Steinberg as a personal injury attorney in the strongest possible terms.

After a near 6 year fight trying to achieve a disability adjudication hearing, without success, I turned to Melissa. She was thorough in her initial intake, she maintained/endured constant communication and I do mean constant communications from myself to her office and responded every time. Not once did she ask me to please stop. I was appreciative of her understanding, compassion, desire to "get this one done". While the outcome was not a slam dunk victory and fell well short of overall expectations, she still achieved a favorable decision from the judge. I would have appreciated the considerations that Melissa had provided me, from the adjudication process of the administration itself. The system is flawed. It needs repaired. Never the less Melissa receives the 3-C's award from me....... I have a personal journey to undergo from here. It won't be easy, but I am positive if I have any questions MY attorney will respond...

She ALWAYS got back to me in a timely manner and made me feel at ease and understood.

Are you in need of a highly skilled, experienced attorney to help you win your Social Security Disability award? Look no further that Angel Torres. The road to securing your disability award is a long and difficult road to travel alone. From the very first meeting with Mr. Torres I knew I had made the right choice. Angel listened to my story and was sincerely concerned for me and my family. He patiently guided me through all the details that would be required to prepare for a successful hearing before the Judge. Mr. Torres pre-hearing written brief was so thorough, factual and compelling, I felt like the Judge was already on my side when the hearing began. Several weeks after the hearing, we received a letter from the Judge. He ruled fully in my favor – lifting a large financial burden from my shoulders. I owe Angel and his firm, Nikolaus & Hohenadel, a debt of gratitude. Angel Torres has earned my highest recommendation. I would not hesitate to call Mr. Torres again to represent me or a member of my family if the need arose. Sincerely...Very Happy Client!

My boyfriend hired Chris while incarcerated to represent him in his disability matter. SSDA sent him a form to request a telephone hearing if he was unable to attend due to special circumstances, his attorney at the time recommended he withdraw his claim and they could "re-apply when he was released" We had heard about other people winning their cases from jail so we decided the best thing was to get another opinion from another disability attorney. Chris took the time to go visit him in jail and he hired him that day. The following month they had the telephone hearing and a few months later I received a text from Chris informing me they won. This young lawyer took on a case the "Big Dogs" didn't want to be bothered with and he proved himself to us. I recommend him constantly to people who aren't happy with the representation they currently have and to people who have no idea how to go about getting a good lawyer. Chris always takes the time to speak to his clients and always responds to your texts or calls. He's a great guy and a great 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:

  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?

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.
