Matt Fendon Law Group came Highly recommended from a well known attorney friend of mine from Chicago, Patricia C. Bobb.
They did not disappoint,!
They know the Law and did everything to stand up for me in my Workers Comp claim and Social Security Disability cases.
Excellent support staff from top to bottom, Deligent, Honest and Overall excellent communication with all Staff.
When the Adjuster fought us on specific things like not Authorizing more Physical Therapy for my Workers comp claim they Immediatly submitted a request for a hearing on the matter to the Industrial Commision of Arizona and was approved and resolved in my favor without a hearing.
They will stand up for your rights in all and any circumstances and truly are sensitive to your needs and fight for a positive outcome for you.
As unfortunate for me having to go thru my claims due to my work related industrial Injury, they kept me on track in a very positive way and I was able to get the Surgeries needed and on my way to being a lot better Phsically with Matt Fendon Law Group fighting for me All the Way.
It's been a slow process but they made it seem with their support and expertise like there was always light at the end of the tunnel.
Many thanks to Matt and his hard working associates to get me thru this hardship time.
Highly Recomend MF Law Group.
Regards,
Michael A. Zimmer

Matt is a first class attorney. The list of things he did on my case is way to long to put in this revi. Matt took care of EVERYTHING for me. If you are reading these reviews looking for a good workers comp attorney you found the BEST one right here. If you are lucky enough to have Matt accept your case your worries are over. Matt and his staff will handle everything from beginning to end. I started out with a different law firm and had nothing but problems. Then I went and met with Matt and from the day he accepted my case he and his staff handled everything and I never had another problem. One thing I want to point out is that Matt always answered my emails and questions right away. Thanks for always being there for me Matt!!

Anna and Leslie have been wonderful to work with in the appeal process. Communication was always timely and clear. The appeal was won due largely to Anna being sure the appropriate records were provided and to her input. Highly recommend.

This attorney was recommended to me by another attorney who had a full case load and couldn’t handle my case. I had already went through 2 other attorneys that had done absolutely nothing on my case. I knew George was different as soon as we spoke on the phone. He took my case and immediately went to work he was on top of the insurance company head from Day 1. George kept me informed every step of the way he even gave me his personal cell number to call him anytime and he always return my calls. His assistant Alyssa is also Great she kept me from going over the edge a many times because of the crap that the insurance company was trying to pull. George kept in contact with all my Doctors and knew the in and out of my medical conditions which were numerous. Most of you all are probably just like me and don’t trust attorneys i have only had to use a attorney 3 times in my life and im almost 60 years old now so trust and believe me when i tell you that this worker’s compensation attorney is very good at what he do and he has a Great staff that helps him run things. He got me a Good settlement and a piece of mind. Don’t let the insurance company push you around and take advantage of you call attorney George he will get right to work on your case and he will always tell you the truth. Thanks again George and Alyssa.

George is an amazing attorney! It has definitely been a long journey, but he fought so hard for my husband! He's not uppidity up like others, he's genuine. Very kind, a REAL PERSON. His wife Bianca, and assistant Alyssa are awesome too. They treat you like family. Thank you

I am a senior citizen still working. I work for a Goliath company. When I was injured on the job, my injury was ignored, refused and left me intimidated. I didn't know where to go or what to do. I saw a five-star review for Alan Schiffman's on the internet. When I met Alan, at his office, I was so relieved. In the waiting room, walls were covered with awards, plaques for Best Lawyer of the Year, and I felt such relief. Thank you for taking on Goliath and representing me. Thank you, Victor, Debbie and Eric for your support and guidance. I had my surgery, was compensated and you were there to make it all happen. For all seniors still working, for the minorities that need legal consultation, for all the women who need a great advocate, please contact Alan Schiffman.
Thank you for changing my life.

I hired Mr. Schiffman and his law firm to help me get the benefits that I was awarded, but the insurance company/carrier was dragging their feet on paying out.
That was until Mr. Schiffman and his entire, experienced, patient, and fast working staff got involved.
To say that I would recommend any person in this world to Alan, and his amazing staff, is exactly what I would do.
If you feel you are not being taken serious, or the walls are closing in from bills, overwhelming stress, fear of what your future is looking like, and ultimately, the fear of just not knowing or understanding when, how, or why;
You are reading firsthand from that person.
So please, take it from someone who has suffered every way that one could during a workers compensation claim,
and even though I was beat down, I had lost all hope of ever being treated fairly, or taken seriously,
I had one last attempt in me before giving up.
And to say everything changed in my favor when I hired Alan, is exactly that.
Thank you!

I have been receiving services from Snow Carpio & Weekly since July of 2015 and it has been smooth sailing since then. My lawyer Nicholas Wearne is always in contact with my doctor, my workers compensation adjuster and sends me updated information every 2 weeks. I have found that since choosing this firm to take over my case the stresses of dealing with workers compensation on my own have gone away, my mediation is mailed directly to my front door and my paychecks are always on time. Nicholas Wearne always appears to have my best interest at heart and I have referred people to him due to the fact that he always goes above and beyond what I expected him to do.

Avery was a blessing to me. She took my work comp case and went above and beyond. I would recommend her to anyone. Avery is professional but even more important she is personal and makes you feel like you have a friend on your side. The process was long and confusing. She always answered emails and calls so I knew she was always there for me.

I consulted with Avery Crossman recently on a workers comp claim with a local government agency. Avery was able to explain several options with the advantages/disadvantages of each in a manner I could easily understand. She was able to quickly and efficiently settle my case. Avery was very knowledgeable on the workers comp system, and was able to predict each move my former employer would make. I feel that my case could not have been handled more professionally, and the outcome was very satisfactory. Thanks again Avery! Jerry/Gilbert, AZ

Chris Gulinson is a dedicated, knowledgeable, trustworthy and experienced attorney. Mr. Gulinson represented me in my case and I was very pleased with him.

Chris is a fighter for your rights, and will not stop until you get what you are entitled. I have been a client with Chris for over 3 years, and it's not because he was looking to get the money like some Lawyers, but because Chris kept fighting to get me the best medical treatment for my injury's. Because of his commitment to his clients I have had the best care and surgeries and not one cost out of my pocket. I have been treated well by his staff and when I need to reach out to them they are just an email away.
If you want a fighter in your corner Chris Gulinson is the man you want.

What's a Renaissance Attorney? He's one who understands aspects of the law outside of his or her specialty, and wants to think outside the box, using solutions from one area of the law to solve problems in another. That's exactly what Rick did in my accident injury case. He worked very hard, separating the claim into two major parts, and using different court forums. I highly recommend Rick in any serious case where efforts are needed for a maximum outcome to the client.

Thomas was always there beside me in phone and legal litigation.
I would (and have ) recommended Thomas to other people who were injured on the job.
I was injured and after a 2 year fight with my x employer . I finally got my long awaited surgery, along with a settlement. I was informed of all correspondence and court decisions. I would not hesitate recommending Thomas to anyone needing a great attorney.

After having to endured months and months of pain , adversities and dispair
we had a good furtune to meet you in our lives.
Josh I appriciate mostly that you kept in touch with me on a regular basis, always happy to return my phone calls and emails, answer my questions and for being a great listener, guide me trough tough times.
Josh took the time to explain all information even if If he had to explain to me twice or three times sometimes... never did he make me feel that I am not worth of his time
I found Josh to be very professional, he knows what he is doing!
I will highly recommend him to advocate for you, you will get the care you need!!!!!!!
We are extremly relived with the final outcomel
to say the least you have gotten me the care I needed, and much more.
Thank you for restoring my dignity by your kindness, special care and attention to my case.

From my heart, Thank you!

I'm very shocked Mr. Linder has no reviews.
Ryan J. Linder has been phenomenal, he has been so helpful. Not only did he help me voice my concerns to an insurance company who wouldn't give me the time of day, he got me what I deserved.
He managed to get my settlement number up and bring my medical expenses down. The drop in the numbers that he achieved was very surprising. i.e. I owed well over $15,000 to one doctor and he got them to accept just under $5,000 for it all!
I was beyond impressed. I'm still in shock. I didn't believe it until I got a letter from the doctor's office saying that I still owed the amount, less than $5,000 (I had to wait for my check to clear and they were just sending a reminder)
Aside from his extensive knowledge and impressive creative writing skills, he is a very kind person. He treats you as if you are his one and only client. He is very hands on and up front. You're not always talking to his paralegal. (She is a very nice woman as well. She took care of me while Mr. Linder was out dealing with other cases in court) The only time he is out of his office is when he is dealing with court cases. I retained him for about a year to a year and a half and not once did I have an e-mail go unanswered.
He has been very kind to me, very understanding, and listened to me complain about the same thing over and over, just different ways each time (haha).
Ryan, you are my life saver and I couldn't thank you enough for everything you have done for me.
THANK YOU SOO MUCH! :)

Tracy and Joelle by far is the best team! Have been in my crazy battle for 4 years now, with my previous lawyer he did an okay job, but after hiring Tracy and her team, I am finally making progress. Tracy has been very transparent and gives the best advice throughout this crazy/difficult time. She has given me so much peace of mind and very on top of it. Her and Joelle has exceeded all of my expectations and then some. I am a complete over thinker and they both have eased my mind so much and have kept me sane from all of the crap I have been through. I wish I hired Tracy to begin with, but very happy I found her through a referral! Thank you over and over !!

Out of 4 other attorneys that we hired to fight for our son, Chris Doran was the ONLY one who actually shown he was in it for more than just money. He was competent, reliable, professional, prepared, communicative, empathetic, punctual, and most importantly extremely well-educated in legal matters. (Talk about “case law” I wonder if he taught a class in proper legal research. 🧐) Yes I’m actually talking about an attorney! Lol I know 90% of these qualities are NOT in attorneys today but they are ABSOLUTELY qualities in Chris Doran! It’s sad how my son was treated by his previous attorneys no visits, no care/empathy shown, no fight, no suggestions, no research, no preparation, no communication, and no willingness to defend him. I was doing most of the work for my son and was completely overwhelmed (I’m not an attorney) before we hired Chris Doran! God sent him to us through a referral and I am just making sure EVERYONE knows what he did for my child and can be blessed by his expertise as well! My children are my most precious assets and I would trust Chris Doran to handle all legal matters for any one of them. (We pray we never have anymore legal matters of course!) We are grateful God sent him to us and he is our “go-to” attorney for ANY legal matters for our entire family…oh and friends too! ;-)

The most logical and best suitable outcome. Chris and his team helped me achieve this in no time. His approach, mannerisms, and his appeal to empathy is beyond satisfactory. His responses are straight up, to the point, and is prompt with his communication. The truth always prevails and Chris is the best attorney to have by your side in these situations. Don’t be fooled if he doesn’t have a huge practice just yet, because it’s a hidden gem for sure.

Cody by far is the best attorney I’ve had to date. He’s has heart, compassion, the giveashit quality, and is more than just an attorney to his clients. No one ever wants to have to hire a family law attorney as it’s emotionally taxing and the family court system is awful. He isn’t about mud slinging and destroying the other party but tactfully handles his cases with integrity and honesty. I cannot say enough about how wonderful and what a blessing he’s been during the hardest most emotional time of my life. I hope I never have to retain his services again but if I needed a family attorney again there would be no hesitation he’s my first call. If you want someone to handle your case with honesty, integrity, and not have an all out disgusting mess Cody is who you should retain as he does everything he can to ensure your voice is heard. He’s truly been my superhero taking on a mess my prior attorney made. He’s worth every penny and much more.

I was honestly prepared to completely give up. I didn’t know what was gonna happen after insurance stopped paying me in any way and me and my wife were in a spiral.
Briana gave us hope with her experience and the way she always made me feel educated in every aspect we covered. To her I never asked a dumb question and that felt good knowing I had no idea what I was getting into. I can’t recommend and thank them enough!

You're intake consultant, Dennis Kurth, was the kindest, most compassionate, most informative person I encountered from all my Workman's Compensation inquiries. I contacted other law offices and never received a response. I talked to other intake consultants and they were cold and non-empathetic. They couldn't answer my questions because they were just taking my information and had no knowledge of the subject matter. Or, wouldn't provide information because it was considered "legal advice" I had never been in a situation where I had a WC event. I went to the AZ Industrial Commission website and tried to research it. I needed some of the information translated into layman's terms to understand it. Dennis took the time to explain the basic concepts of WC, it's process and what to expect. It was so refreshing and gave me so much peace of mind. I kept getting "advice" from people that had WC cases in which they got a big payout or had to get a lawyer. I am not a litigious person looking for a huge payout, which is what everyone was advising me. I'm so glad I messaged your office for advice and that Dennis was the one that called me back. I truly appreciate Dennis' honest answers and feedback. If I, or anyone else, needs your services, I will definitely refer to your office. "Thank you Dennis for the education and taking the time to share it with me. You truly are a valuable asset to this law firm."

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.
