Corey did a great job on our trademark application. I am an attorney that practices in an other area of the law, and am glad that I worked with Corey Kilburn on our trademark application. This is something that you need an attorney with experience with Trademarks, otherwise you can waste a lot of time and money trying to do it yourself or with an attorney that does not work in this area of the law.

I was contacted by the Missouri Workers Compensation Division and was told that I had a hearing over my settlement. I had no idea what that meant, but I noticed that the workman's comp. insurance company of my former employer, had a law firm representing them. I spoke to a friend and they told me to get a lawyer, my sister-in-law (who is a paralegal) said that her office uses Ryan Murphy.
I gave him a call, and he saw me on his day off, he explained what was going on and how he would handle my case if I chose to have him represent me. I agreed and hired him that day.
I got paper work in the mail within a few days, that showed me that he and his team were not wasting any time.
I had no idea what my settlement would be, but I received a lot more than I thought I would and I was very pleased with how everything turned out.
I have learned to always have a lawyer represent you in any workman's comp. case and I will recommend Ryan Murphy to all my friends.

Ryan E Murphy is the best lawyer ever! My right shoulder was injured and when I did my part and told the company I worked for that I was hurt. The company turned there cheek and didn't care. This was my first time going through a work injury deal and when I found Ryan E Murphy I felt safe and knew I could trust him! He spoke clear and explain how filing for a work injury case works. He also gives great advice and his team!! It took almost two years to settle my case. I can say it was the hardest and toughest time of my life in the beginning of it all but having Ryan there with me gave me the strength to keep fighting forward so company's don't ever get away with injurying there employees. I would give Ryan E Murphy a million stars because he is that great! Thank you Ryan E Murphy and Renee for everything!! I am so thankful and blessed to have meet you and all the help you have given to me and my little family.

I hired Mr. Coticchio in a stressful custody case and he had integrity and my best interests at the focus of the case. He had fair pricing and when the other side showed no signs of wanting resolution he was honest about the hard topics. I respected him being upfront and not just trying to bill me for more services. His legal staff/Paralegal Jennifer is very hard working and very supportive of their clients. I definitely recommend Mr. Coticchio if you want an honest lawyer.

I am posting this review on behalf of my good friend and church sister, Yvette McDaniels (as she doesn’t really use the Internet). The words are hers verbatim. She asked that I post them as her testimony of the help she received from Easter Law firm. – Mark Dixon
December 21st, 2018 I was hit by a drunk driver. I had the green light and he tried to follow the car ahead of him and beat me at the light. He was not successful. Totaled my little white Honda I had only had for almost two years and had just got it fixed.
He was very intoxicated and arrested. I was advised to get a “Good” lawyer by one of the firemen on the scene. I prayed and after various words and indicators (sent us 01/16/2019) led me to Joe Easter and his law firm and immediately there was a connection. I filed a police report and contacted my insurance provider. Because of the usual neck, back, and shoulder pain, from the angle of the collision and air bags deploying, I was advised and went to physical therapy for six weeks - February into March. But mid-April I noticed some new strange things. I couldn’t speak a whole sentence. I couldn’t write fluidly. I had to think before I could write my name. Same with texting. Several things happened plus my head was pounding. But the wakeup call came when, as I was coming down my hallway, I kept veering to the left into the wall.
A retired nurse friend took me to urgent care. [The doctor there] made a call and got me an appointment for an MRI at the Martin Center the next day, the 25th of April. Long story short I had two major brain bleeds (front left and two small rear right). Bottom line, that same day I went across the street to Cox South and had brain surgery. Surgery on the two major. Foam put in to absorb the bleeding of the two smaller bleeds. I had called Mr. Easter before they took me down to ICU and updated them.
Home 04/29/2019. Later an infection developed along the incision. 11/27/2019, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, another surgery to remove that part of my skull and set me up on antibiotics. Released 12/03/2019 but I had to go to I.V. antibiotic clinic (12/04/2019) for six weeks, last day 01/10/2020. When COVID eased up, I had replacement surgery 06/26/2020. I now have a metal plate, secured with titanium screws, in my head. Home 06/27/2020 to keep me from getting any kind of infection, including COVID. 07/20/2020 final appointment, stiches and staples removed. Lots of “If” instructions and I was released. Total six days ICU, total 7 days hospital.
Joe, Cheryl, Diane, and Julie were with me every step of the way. They sent me flowers just because and for my birthday, #60. I was afraid and sometimes impatient, tired, and cranky. They were the exact opposite, kind and explained everything. The whole process concerning head injuries and various appointments for the settlement. One with a Life Care Plan Doctor, another with a neuropsychologist. they helped me obtain financial help to pay bills until everything was settled. Despite the opposition’s pressure and games they fought for me and got me a good settlement. But also, they cared. Called me to check on me and called my friend Judy when I was unavailable in ICU. Step by step, through every surgery procedure and follow-up appointment they were there. It wasn’t just business. They showed me they cared. Even called on weekends and holidays. Especially when I spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day in the I.V. clinic. We are now family.
But the best thing, after I got the check, they still stood with me. Helped me through the conferences and hearings for the felony part of the accident. Their part was basically over but they stuck with me beyond their responsibilities and helped me through the rest of it. Finally, closure and peace and they stood by me through it all, even when they didn’t have to. I am truly appreciative and they were and are an awesome blessing.
Thank you Joe, Cheryl, Diane, and Julie!
Love and Prayers

When we first met with Deborah we were impressed with her true compassion for my well being. It wasn't a numbers game. Her first mission was to make sure my health was taken care of. She is smart, personable, and knows what she's doing! Her team has the same strengths. In a reasonable amount of time she took care of what we needed. And the result was greatly appreciated. Deborah and her office are always available for calls and emails. I recommend her. (I have actually already recommended her.)

I was denied disability for years and years. Multiple times… And then stepped in my new lawyer! And he did things that “they” said only God could’ve had made possible! So without this law firm and its amazing staff, I wouldn’t have ever received my long overdue benefits! Thank you Mr. Krebs!

I tried to work directly with Social Security to get disability for my Autistic adult son with no success. Contacted Rick Vasquez law offices and he was able to get a favorable decision for us. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and very easy to work with. We highly recommend Rick Vasquez if you are needing assistance with a disability claim.

Unfortunately he wasn’t able to represent us at the time because the attorneys were headed into a big trial. But what they did that caused 5 stars. My phone call was returned in the same business day and referred me to a lawyer that was in the state that the accident that their (Bradshaw) office worked closely with. And also sent me a letter explaining the situation. Thank you for helping my husband get pointed in the right direction.

My family and I were involved in an unfortunate event late 2023 as passengers in a serious rear end collision & I emeditly contacted Dr. Brad Bradshaw's office for legal advice and representation with their fair 25% rate and their team has been beyond our expectations regarding legal advice & representation & support throughout our experience. A big shout out to Jenna, definitely ask for her for representation with your case, she did outstanding with clarification needs regarding our case. These folks have done an outstanding job for my family & I am very grateful for their support.

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.
