When you are in physical pain it is difficult to think clearly and make good decisions . In addition to not understanding the legal process complicates matters even more. He was reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective. Chauncey made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. He was selected on recommendation from someone who witnessed my accident. It has been some of the "Best" advice I have ever received. He has done an excellent job in not only fighting FOR me, but also PROTECTING my interests! I highly recommend him.

5 star review for 5 star legal assistance. Mr Brooks and staff were always professional and tenacious throughout our legal battle with an insurance giant. He came highly recommended by another, husband/wife team of Savannah attorneys, and we were never disappointed by our decision. His thorough defense of our difficult case, set a precedence, admittedly, by the insurance company we sued for denying our claim. Our claim, on a total loss of our century plus, totally renovated farmhouse, was denied. This after being a 35 year FB member, with only one small claim in all the years of membership and no personal history to justify the treatment we received. Gene and his team dug in and compiled an exhaustive amount of evidence to substantiate our claims and won! This all from a single, small, firm with a Big commitment to delivering a settlement that was hard won. We will always be grateful for the representation we received. His charming office in downtown Savannah is conveniently located and has plentiful parking directly across from the office.

This guy doesn’t even deserve 1 star after pushing a DUI case 5 and half years out. He thought he would get away with pushing it out until he felt like even lifting a finger to review the case. Court was set for this week, and Mr. Walker had just obtained body cam footage and reviewed arrest notes THIS WEEK, while also pushing his client to accept a deal that was less than fair. His client could’ve gotten better representation, a speedy trial, and the SAME outcome by just using the public defender. He was also not transparent about the terms of the deal until after going in front of a judge. He was extremely unprofessional, getting frustrated and yelling at his client that they should be “grateful” for what they got when they weren’t pleased which how the case was handled. He tried to bully his client into taking a reckless driving deal with 3 years of probation based off of FALSE information threatening that a second DUI would result in a felony. Keep in mind this is a client with zero priors and has taken off work for court dates that resulted in delayed court date after delayed court date for FIVE years and wants to be done with this. All I can say is, if you want an attorney that will push your court date until the judge is fed up with seeing the case, pick this guy!
Editing to add that he has the gall to ask his client to research a subject and “let him know the findings”… When the client has paid him $5000 to do NOTHING for 5 years.

Excellent at writing bills and asking for more money via phone. Funds that are accumulated in your account will be completely drained to zero in the next bill. Invoices / bills seem to match the account balance or exceed with no balance remaining. Paul demands to be paid in advance and wants a positive balance in the account at all times. Working class people cannot afford to; nor are they accustomed to pay for legal services in ADVANCE, try that as a restaurant, a doctor, a plumber or a mechanic...not sure why any lawyer should operate in a different manner. My numerous medical problems / bills, auto repairs and hurricane Debbie and Helene damage to my home have drained me financially, and although Paul said he understood; he is most interested in his next payment...all about the $$$$. Paul uses all the correct words in conversation, but it is the actions and the billing that speak volumes to me as a former client. To me it seemed like he was charging me to keep him on a retainer as I got billed excessively after sending him emails relevant to my case as I wanted to keep him informed of the ongoing issues relevant to the case. When I explained to Paul that I would send more money after our call and when I got a bill, he became defensive and was upset explaining that he cannot operate that way. Although I always paid Paul every cent I owed him, he seemed insulted that I did not send him $$$$ before our upcoming scheduled phone conference later that day. Verbal legal information provided by Paul costs you dearly, and a phone call can cost up to $300 to get answers to relevant case issues. When you ask for copies / documentation of the staff meeting minutes that you are charged for on the bill... you won't get them as they did not happen. Last bill I got charged $5 for postage and his office never mailed me anything. Documents provided to him by Dept of Labor were not forwarded to me by his office, I missed a DOL appointment as I did not know where to go and with what Doctor it was scheduled as DOL did not send me the information. Pauls's time clock runs very fast, and he will mention midway through a call that we are 15 minutes into a conference call and after the call, the entire call according to the cell phone timer was less than 13 minutes total time. Although Paul Felser may have helped some people, he provided me some very expensive advice, did not forward DOL documentation, did not see my case to completion and was most concerned about extracting monies from my account. Paul mentions while is talking to you about the time that he spends preparing in advance by reading case notes before the next call and gives you the impression that he spends a lot of time preparing for each call in advance of each call. My impression on several occasions was that he had not read what I had sent him and was shooting from the hip as specific questions that I wanted answers to were not always addressed. Photo shows a youthful and energetic young man fresh out of law school, I speculate that this photo it is at least 30years old and not indicative of the elderly and moderately grumpy attorney focused on $$$ that you will be dealing with.
There are not many Workman's Comp lawyers in the SAV area, and you are rolling the dice selecting Paul Felser to represent you especially if you cannot afford to spend at least $300 a month at minimum in your legal account with him. I do not have a lot of experience with other lawyers to compare, but as a 60 year old disabled veteran I can state that I am not pleased with the service that I received from Paul Felser. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Paul Felser as a Workmans Compensation lawyer based on my experiences and the return that I got for all the money I spent.

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.
