The staff here diligently fought my case and kept me in the loop about what was transpiring. Professional and communicative, I'd highly recommend their services if you have been injured in an accident. Even when insurance companies fought back, the staff stood their ground with my case and got everything done. Excellent service and I am happy with the results.

I was referred to Mr. Reid by another attorneys office and it was the best experience ever. I was injured in an accident that was not my fault and Mr. Reid took my case assuring me everything would be ok and it was. I will refer him to anyone who needed help the way he helped me.

THIS IS THE BEST LAW FIRM EVER! Take it from me, I've worked at several law firms and we went with a firm I've never worked at because of their fine reputation. To me, that says a lot! I was pleased to have met with Dan Renfro (who actually came to our house!) and he put my husband's mind at ease regarding his case. I was then assigned to Molly Blanton and Morgan Weatherford as my paralegals. They are always on top of everything, get back with me regarding my constant emails and questions, never once making me feel like I was one of many clients. You will not be disappointed if you choose this firm. They are now my "Lawyers for Life".

Dear Renfro & Renfro, PLLC,
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your exceptional support and dedication in handling my workers' compensation claim. Your expertise and commitment were pivotal in achieving a favorable settlement.
Throughout this process, Katie, Morgan, and Molly’s professionalism and thorough understanding of the legal landscape provided me with much-needed confidence and peace of mind. The strategic approach taken coupled with attention to detail ensured that all aspects of my case were meticulously managed, leading to an outcome that far exceeded my expectations.
Everyone’s empathy and willingness to listen made a significant difference during this challenging time. Katie’s guidance was not only legally sound but also genuinely compassionate, which I deeply appreciate.
Thank you once again for your unwavering support and for securing such a positive resolution. I am truly grateful for your efforts and will not hesitate to recommend your services to others in need.
Warm regards,

I was charged with DUI. I contacted Riley & Wells and was assigned to a very intelligent and competent attorney, Joseph Dean II. Throughout the process I felt that I had an individual who cared about the process - defending his client along with abiding by the law. He researched cases that pertained to my case and worked through lab results that were suspect, all helping my NOT GUILTY decision. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Dean as an attorney in any circumstance and would be glad to have him (hopefully it won't come to that) in my defense should the necessity arise.

Mr. Dean is a heaven sent! He broke down all of my options and explained the risk associated with each option. He kept me abreast of hat was going on with the case. He was a super hero in that courtroom and the case definitely went in my favor. U are the man Mr. Dean and I appreciate all of your hard work for me.

Please...Please check with other lawyers before even thinking about Geoff McDonald and Associates...I don't know if Geoff is a bad representation but I can tell you the Associates is Not good, Not honest and give you the ran arounds...also myself and the lawyer had talk about a settlement and agreed on my cut..but when it was time to come to get my check it's 500 dollars short and no explanation....I argue that this wasn't the amount we agreed on..but they held my check for over a month and bills and such were brewing and when they finally gave me my check and I found out tht things had changed and instead of me paying my bills they wanted to pay my bills 4 me it seems...but all and all I WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN...I SHOULD'VE STAYED WITH WHO I KNOW. MARKS AND HARRISON IS THE BEST..THEY ARE THE REST.......

I would like to thank the Injured Workers’ Law Firm for the work they did for me. Even though my worker’s comp case was settled in 2012 I was presented with a letter that offered me a settlement for the remaining years. Because I was also receiving additional benefits it was not just a yes or no decision. In contacting the firm and being accepted as a client by Michele Lewane I was assigned to Legal Assistant Emily Busch and Attorney Lorraine D’Angelo. They reviewed all my information and directed me to other contacts to help me make my finally decision. They did not make the choice for me but help me understand what the long-term effect would be on my finance going forward. Because I have worked with other lawyers I knew the most important thing was to make sure they heard me, and I understood how they were making decisions and they met these requirements 100%. I would refer this firm to my family and friends.

I had an injury on the job and honestly didn't know where to turn. Between the pain and worrying about my bills, I needed someone on my side. I contacted Christian and he and his team went straight to work for me. It was a lengthy process and Christian was very patient and helpful with the many questions I had for him. His team kept me apprised on all of the deadlines and court dates that were so very important in my case. The settlement came in and I was very thankful for all of the hard work Christian and his team had put forth. It has been a year since my settlement and I was contacted recently by Janell who was inquiring about how I was getting along and if there was anything else that they could do for me. I would highly recommend Christian and his team here at Injured Workers Law Firm. You'll feel like you've got someone on your side!

I am beyond impressed with the representation I received in my court case. I had a reckless driving for speeding ticket and got the desired result. I was outside the norm but this is the first lawyer that I have interacted with that was genuinely interested in doing everything he could for my case and knew my case before the trial day. I was instructed in everything I would need to do to get my desired result. I did extra community service than he recommended (120 hours vs 80) as well before trial and this helped as well. Richard helped me navigate the court day and was reassuring but honest as well as agile in the presentation of mitigating evidence. I have said as well too many times in this review but that should speak volumes to the care I received that I was not expecting. I am picky with service and they were great! 10/10 would highly recommend this law office for reckless speeding tickets over 90!

I could not have asked for a better lawyer Richard Wiley was one of thw best lawyers that I ever came across. Actually this is my first time I needed an lawyer and I was very skeptical about this sensitive case that I had but I would not have changed it in the world. Richard was very prompt, he was on time, he stayed communicated with me with things that changed, he went over and above his duties as a lawyer to represent me in my case. At the end of the case I was granted everything I wanted. Richard was persistent he stayed consistent and he wanted to make sure that i received the best outcome for my situation. I am happy and I really really really appreciate everything he have done. I definitely will hire him again I will recommend 100000 times to anybody that want to hire him and also I would definitely keep him in mind if I need him for any future legal matters. 10/10

Assuming no lawyer would touch my old workers comp case, I struggled on my own for several months attempting to build my case. I wound up buried in paperwork and feeling like a spider entangled in its own web until, I was fortunate enough to be introcued to Casey. Casey took my case immediately, giving me the comfort of knowing I had a legal team standing by my side. He and all I came in contact with at Reid Goodwin treated me as family, not simply another number. Casey smoothly sorted everything out for me, helping me end a 17 year old nightmare. I would definately refer Casey to anyone in need of a W.C. lawyer. If you are reading this reveiw, thinking you can do it on your own, don't, have Casey on your side taking care of all the things you really couldn't atticipate.

My lawyer Casey Morris was very helpful throughout my case from beginning til the end. He made sure in the beginning he told me exactly what he was going to do and his goals for me in the end. He helped fight my case for months and got me the most he could out of the case. He also made sure to keep in contact with me threw out the whole process and refreshed me with what's up to date with the process. Very professional about his work and I'm glad he had my case. Thank you.

I was in a car accident in which Casey took on my case as soon as I met with him. There wasn't anything he did without my approval and kept updating on the status of my case and fought for what he thought was fair and what I deserved and didn't back down until he got what I deserved. I definitely would recommend him to anyone who wants a good, honest and trustworthy lawyer

I was going out of town and had a court-hearing for a reckless ticket. Was only 14+ and he advised an online driving school I could go to out of state and represented me in court. Charge was dropped to a speeding for 9pmh over and just had $169 in court fines afterwards. Saved my license and my job!

Like many others, traveling through Virginia I received a ticket. Upon a couple of weeks, I received several letters from traffic attorneys. Mr. Parrish's letter stood out the most as it was professional, informative and straight to the point. Upon getting in contact and speaking with him directly, he was very knowledgable about Virginia traffic and confident . He was able to get my violation reduced to no points! What more do you need, professional, knowledgable and reliable!

I have always found Claire to be a wonderful attorney to work with. She provides a detailed assessment of the case, our strenghs and weaknesses if we choose to litigate the file, and our chances of success at the Workers' Compensation Commission. She provides an agressive defense of the client and TPA on every case we have worked on together. She has also provided great assistance where settlement has been the best option to pursue, in the negotiation phase, as well as navigating the complexities where a Medicare Set Aside is involved, or a structured settlement considered, or both.

I was recently awarded my SSDI case with the help of GGL Law Firm. He, and his assistant, Anne are knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, determined, extremely responsive and organized. Calls were never screened and they pick-up or respond to you immediately. They made sure I understood the facts of my case. Mr. Lutkenhaus did not give false hope and most of all, encouraged me to be honest about my disability. It’s very hard to discuss the disabling conditions due to my young age, but he made sure that no favorable facts were unturned during my ALJ hearing. They continue to care even after the case was heard. I highly recommend this firm to anyone.

A relative applied for social security disability benefits and had the claim denied. I was asked to help and began to research the social security disability application process. The statistics of denial although staggering were pretty easy to find. It seems that about 67 percent are denied initially and the figure jumps to about 87 percent for reconsiderations. Apparently your chances of success for reconsideration are even lower if you don’t appeal after the initial denial which was the case for my relative. Although I am retired while employed I valued contractors that had memberships in professional organizations specific to their trade or profession. This is the approach I used to help the relative retain a lawyer well versed in social security disability law and contacted NOSSCR – the National Organization of Social Security Claimants Representatives and asked for the names of local members. Much to my surprise only two members worked in the Richmond metropolitan area. Gerald G. Lutkenhaus had far better reviews. From the beginning it was clear that Mr. Lutkenhaus was well versed in social security disability law, rules and procedures. I actually read an entire book on SSA disability before I joined the relative for the initial meeting with the GGL Law Firm. Everything I read was confirmed ten times over. GGL had both the knowledge and the essential experience needed for these types of cases. I must confess that my dislike for most lawyers is that they charge you for every minute you talk to them and they nickel and dime you for everything and anything they can which is definitely not the case with GGL. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Anne the paralegal at GGL. Anne too has an encyclopedic knowledge of social security disability law and procedures and is extremely responsive to emails and phone calls. So what’s the bottom line? Our relative had a hearing 9 months after the first meeting with GGL and was granted a favorable outcome. GGL beat the statistics!!!! I certainly would recommend GGL without hesitation.

I received an unsolicited phone call from this agency. The caller identified themselves as simply "Holly."
I asked Holly a question and she told me to hold for a moment as she was driving.
I asked her to call me back when she wasn't driving as she was clearly distracted. And who wouldn't be - she is driving a car and attempting to take care of some business matter, presumably.
Holly then gets upset because I won't speak with her while she is driving a vehicle.
I then just hang up because of how angry she was getting. She acted as if I was being rude to her by asking her to call me when she wasn't driving a vehicle.
I don't know if this type of thing is commonplace at Commonwealth, but this is not acceptable even once.
And if you don't think this is concerning, consider your own potential financial liability- vicarious liability is a thing.

I received an unsolicited phone call from this agency. The caller identified themselves as simply "Holly."
I asked Holly a question and she told me to hold for a moment as she was driving.
I asked her to call me back when she wasn't driving as she was clearly distracted. And who wouldn't be - she is driving a car and attempting to take care of some business matter, presumably.
Holly then gets upset because I won't speak with her while she is driving a vehicle.
I then just hang up because of how angry she was getting. She acted as if I was being rude to her by asking her to call me when she wasn't driving a vehicle.
I don't know if this type of thing is commonplace at Commonwealth, but this is not acceptable even once.
And if you don't think this is concerning, consider your own potential financial liability- vicarious liability is a thing.

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.
