Thanks to the legal team at this firm, especially Christy Bixby, who walked my family through a very tricky and sometimes frustrating process navigating through Social Security Disability process. She was kind, attentive and provided prompt responses to all of our questions. Would recommend to anyone needing help with SSD. Thank you!

I highly recommend Mark T Hurts office. I got a speeding ticket in VA and Frankie was the first person I had the pleasure of speaking with on the phone. She was so professional and very informative. Told me step by step what I needed to do. I highly recommend them and if I need any help in the future I know who I am going to call.

They were professional yet easy to work with. Carl Lauer was compassionate and understanding. He honestly cared. He made the whole process stress free for me. He settled my case with acceptable compensation for my loss. I highly recommend.

My lawyer was quick and to the point when it came to communication I felt like he had my back and he treated me like a human being not a number. I think the most important thing was he listened to me when I talked and he always had information for me whenever I needed it. Communication and listening that’s what is important and he got it. I’d hire this guy again in a minute. He is a beast when it comes to protecting his client

I hired Mr. Michie to represent me in a case in traffic court and I definitely chose the right attorney. He was familiar with the court (in a small county outside of Charlottesville) and he gave me great advice prior to my court date and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. It is always worth it to hire an attorney and there are attorneys like Mr. Michie, who won't charge you an arm and a leg. His fee was reasonable and I liked that HE answers the phone at his office, so you get to speak with him one on one, right from the start. He's a really good attorney and I'd strongly recommend him to anyone in or around the Charlottesville area.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional work done by Esquire Falcon during my case. From the beginning, he demonstrated unmatched professionalism, deep knowledge of the law, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best outcome. Esquire Falcon’s handling of my case was nothing short of masterful. The way he laid out the facts, countered opposing arguments, and delivered a compelling narrative was truly inspiring. Every detail was meticulously planned, and it was evident that he had left no stone unturned in preparing my case. Thanks to Mr. Falcon's expertise, the case was not only won but done so decisively. His ability to simplify complex legal terms and present them in a relatable, persuasive way made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. David Falcon to anyone seeking a skilled and dedicated advocate. He turned one of the most challenging times of my life into a moment of justice and relief. For that, I will always be grateful." Stephanie McDiez.

Throughout the process, I felt I was in good hands. It was a relief to know someone with actual knowledge of these cases was paying attention to the details. Mr. Ackerman worked to make sure I received a fair and good settlement from my accident. I appreciated how clear he was explaining the details of the case, the process, and the settlement. I also have to give his paralegal, Zoe, a huge credit. She was absolutely amazing. I could not have asked for a better person to work with during this stressful, difficult time. If you are looking for a firm to help you with a personal injury case, I recommend Ackerman & Falcon.

Everything initially was perfect. Seemed like top notch service. But his paralegal Kristin is very condescending and a smart alllec. I was working with them for at least 6 weeks and although it was a peculiar situation, for them to all of a sudden to decide to fire me as a client was completely uncalled for. At the time I was renting a basement apartment from the people I was filing the lawsuit against. I didn't want them to receive the letter before I moved out. We had a move out date but then something came up with my new apartment and I asked if we could push it out one week. Later that evening Kristin sent me a rude email about them deciding to no longer work with me and then Doug sent me an email about how someone he knows specifically told him how slip and fall lawsuits are very hard to win in Virginia. Thankfully I was able to find another law office in Leesburg who were able to get me a very nice settlement. I'm just sad at the way I was treated by Kristin and for them wasting 6 weeks of my time!

I highly recommend Abrams Landau, Ltd if you’re filing for SS Disability. I filed on my own and was denied. I had Abrams Landau’s office to do my appeal. They know the steps to take and give you the paperwork to provide to your doctors to have everything documented properly. When it came time for my hearing, Mr. Landau was truly outstanding! Needless to say he won my case. I will be forever grateful to him and his staff who were always so welcoming and very efficient in getting paperwork submitted. I would give this law office 10 stars.

Well worth the time and money Long story short I've never been in that kind of trouble before. At first I tried hiring a lawyer that didn't show up and then I seen Casey in court. That same day, I got a letter in the mail with his picture in it and I knew I had to hire him. His team answered my call, listened to me and handled my case with Professionalism. They were very open and kept me informed of everything. Casey made a gameplan and we folloewed it. Turns out he actually knew what he was talking about about! I would recommend him and his team to a friend and I hope I never have to speak to him again but if i do I will call him before I call my mom! Thanks Casey!

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".

Mr. Brian Drummond came highly recommended to my family by a trusted friend, and we now know why. Mr. Drummond is an outstanding lawyer and human. He supported our family when both of my sons were dealing with 2 different court issues in 2 different counties at the same time. He quickly responded to my many messages and questions and continually went above and beyond to support my boys in their different situations! Both court issues ended with the best outcome possible thanks to his knowledge and fantastic pre-court advice. He treats his clients with respect, humor, and empathy. I highly recommend Mr. Drummond if you need a lawyer.

I would like to share the experience that I had after doing a Google search for Workman's Compensation Lawyers in Arlington, VA. There were many attorneys listed all over Northern Virginia and even into Richmond, VA. After researching websites and reviews of several attorneys, Charles O'Donnell was the attorney that impressed me the most. I have multiple existing Workman's Compensation against Amazon Logistics which I have been handling by myself primarily because when I made calls to attorneys 3-4 months ago for help, not one would give any assistance. Their legal assistants listened but at the end of the day, my case was a little too complicated or they just did not believe thay would prevail if they had taken my case. I believe most attorneys will give a free consutation, but I truely got much more. In the end, my phone conversation with Mr. O'Donnell lasted one hour and six minutes. Mr. O'Donnell is a great listener and was very thorough in understanding all the complexities of four different accident events that were on record with Virginia Workmans Compensation Commission. Even more important was the information that he shared that related to my accidents that affected both knees. Mr. O'Donnell maybe could have taken my case (?) but declined as I already had a working settlement on the table that I had negotiated but had second thoughts about. From my experience today talking with Mr. O'Donnell, I would highly recommend that you give him a call if you have a need for an attorney in Northern Virginia or DC Metro area. I like people that forget about themselves and think well about their clients. That person is Charles O'Donnell and I truely believe he will represent your interests as good as any attorney in our area.

The accident that I had was horrible and it changes my life completely. I was here in Virginia alone with no family members. When Mr. O'Donnell and his staff member came to see me in the hospital I was able to see how they work and that they care about their clients. With his help and his staff I did not feel alone anymore. They fought for me and did everything they could to get me the treatment I needed and to be able to walk out of this accident with something to start a new life. I though my life was over when I had my accident but Mr. O'Donnell and his staff should me that It was not and that there was many things I can do after the accident. He saved my life. He is a very honest and caring attorney that will do all in his power to makes things right and to fight for his client's rights. He did an amazing job for me and I am grateful that found him. I appreciate all the hard work he did for me.

I've been working with Terry for about 6 months now on a workers comp claim. When I had a attorney tell me I had no case to give it up there's nothing I could do, Terry said that he would take my case and he has fought for me on everything that comes up. He is a guy that will fight for you even if he knows that it isn't a 100% win he will fight for you till the end and I trust my lawyer with everything. I'm glad I came in touch with Terry and if you have any doubts of hiring him don't because he will be there when everyone else turns away.

I have the up most respect for Reid Goodwin PLC. It all started 7 years ago when I had an accident at work and no one would take my case. Reid Goodwin was recommended to me by a random attorney. Brad Goodwin was my attorney. He was polite, patient, and extremely respectful. If I had a question he took his time to explain the answer. His paralegal Darcy, was very efficient, patient, and thorough. They both made me feel safe and like I had a voice. They really listened to me. Not only did they do an outstanding job with my case, Brad prepared me to obtain my life long benefits without him. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel for this law firm. Keep up the good work!

I don’t even know where to begin. Attorney Brody Reid and Spencer were amazing. I unfortunately was in a car accident my first week living in Richmond and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to take care of me. Spencer did a great job of communicating and answering any questions I had. My accident was a multi car accident so it would have been a headache to deal with but Attorney Brody Reid solved it all and saved me a lot of time and headaches. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone in need of an attorney for their PI case. Thank you for all your help Spencer and Attorney Brody Reid!

I hired Angelica Lee as my attorney early this year. I was involved in a car accident where a vehicle rear-ended into my stopped vehicle. I was injured during the accident and went to the emergency room. I contacted Angelica the next day and she immediately took me in for a consult. She was very caring and patient as I explained my situation to her. I was able to get medical attention and treatment without having to worry about any bills. During the treatment process, Angelica contacted me with updates and made sure I was aware of everything that was going on while she allowed me to trust her with her confidence and knowledge. I did not have to deal with any phone calls, insurance company, hospitals, or paperwork as Angelica took care of that in a timely manner. I knew there was no lag time because she would inform me through communication method of my choice of what was going on and what needed to be done next. The settlement was completed in a very timely manner. I was highly impressed as a client with Angelica's knowledge, professionalism and care from the first appointment to the settlement. I have recommended and will continue to recommend Angelica to my friends and family.

If you’re reading these reviews in search of a workers compensation attorney, you found yourself a winner. Do yourself a favor and at least consult with him. Mr. Swiger came recommended to me through another trusted attorney when I was in need of legal counsel. We met at his office and went over the details as he answered any questions I had. His knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm to his work was immediately apparent during our conversation. I retained him as counsel right there. Over the course of the case Mr. Swiger’s passion for his work really shone through. He kept me updated with any new happenings and answered any questions if I didn’t understand something. I always felt like he was looking out for my best interest throughout the whole process. I truly felt he cared more about me as a client rather than any financial reason. Again if you’re here in need of representation, I can’t speak highly enough of this man and everyone at his firm.

I have no words to appreciate about how this lawyer is great 👍. My wife had a back injury long time ago like 13+ years and just today a friend asked me her lawyer when I checked my contact list I found James phone number and my eyes full of tears. James saved my wife life period! He is the reason for our today’s success and joy. More importantly he moved my wife from the killer doctor who works with insurance companies to the true lawyer who do his profession. It is not about the money we received from the insurance he also knew all the doctors in the region. I’m glad to have this opportunity to write a review. James god bless you!!!! You deserve more than I wrote.

If you've started reading this, see it through. Obviously, you or someone you know was hurt while working and you need help. I'll tell you like it is. You need an expert. Mr Shoen IS that expert. I found myself in a fight for existence . My case was complicated and I was afraid he would toss out those 3 little letters, SOL. You know "Seek other lawyers." I know you was thinkin I'm **** outta luck. Not so! I’ve a pocketful of bad luck. I'm not a writer or a story teller. I turn wrenches and hit things with a hammer (mechanic) so I lack the skills to review this group of people, that have had my back and my best interest, for almost 2 years but believe me... These people change lives! Five stars in my book is not enough .When referring to Mr Shoen, I really mean the whole team. They take your case I’ve 2 words, "Fights On!" I am so grateful the powers that be dropped me on their doorstep. I’ll cut to the chase. Did he do what he said he would? Bet your ass he did!! Above and beyond my expectations. Word of advice. If he takes your case…. Give him the wheel and let him steer the course. You will never regret it.

You can trust him and his staff with your workman's comp concerns.

Ritchie Law Firm has been a huge help to me in recent years. No one expects to be injured by another persons negligence - but, as people are so distracted & numbed, it seems it will happen more & more. I am so thankful for Ritchie Law Firm, as I have had to use their services several times in the last 10 yrs - who would have thought? In each case, I was rear-ended while following normal safe driving practices. Don't think that being rear-ended is an easy case - it's not. Ritchie Law Firm handled hospital, multiple doctor visits, & insurance problems that would have overwhelmed me - well worth their fee. I am thankful that they took my case - contact them if you need help, that's what they do

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?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and whether there are any additional costs you need to be aware of.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
