My wife and I retained Mr. Welcome for immigration services. Mr. Welcome and his staff went above and beyond in guiding us through the immigration process. We would especially like to thank Johanna for always being there at a moment’s notice. My wife got her green card much faster than expected, due in large part to how thoroughly and meticulously Johanna was in helping us prepare our applications. We could not recommend them highly enough!!!

Michelle Holmes, a woman of integrity, honesty and dedication to the law. In 2020, I had reached out to numerous attorneys - none of which had faith in my case or they did not understand the seriousness of my claims. Michelle, sat with me and truly listened to me and she never gave up on me. She worked endlessly with myself and four other clients where we ended up with a nearly 5 million dollar verdict. If you want someone that truly cares about you, an attorney that dedicates their life to applying the law and will never give up on you - look no further than Michelle Holmes, the absolute best attorney that will fight to the end for YOU. Thank you Michelle!

I had only heard good things about Attorney Rossetti prior to contacting the office with my issue and true to form, that's exactly what I experienced. He came highly recommended by other attorneys for his special skill set and now i know why. I couldn't be happier. Straightforward, honest, exacting, easy to talk to and of course, excellent results. Highly recommended.

In 2013, I made the unfortunate mistake of hiring Pullman & Comley for legal services. I was immediately charged a $7500 retainer and attorney Alan J. Sobol began representing me defending a case. What I did not know was that another Pullman & Comley attorney, D. Robert Morris, was already representing the other side, the prosecuting authority, which had brought the false charges against me. Alan J. Sobol basically pretended to be actively fighting the case for me, when he was really working against me. Sobol provided false information to me and to the court on multiple occasions. Over the next 2-year period, I endured an excessive amount of over 20 court dates, which were mostly postponed due to Sobol making private agreements with the prosecutor behind closed doors. One of those unethical activities was when Alan J. Sobol and Pullman & Comley negotiated with the prosecutor to remove a legal defense fund. How and why would the prosecutor and defense attorney feel the need to negotiate the removal of a client’s legal defense fund? During the 2-year period I was slammed with approximately $40,000 in fees charged by Pullman & Comley and Alan J. Sobol. The $40,000 in funds were effectively scammed by Pullman & Comley, due to the conflict of interest that they failed to disclose. After being provided no evidence of the accusations and mounting legal fees I requested that Sobol provide me with a copy of the police report. Sobol refused to provide it, which is very suspicious because Sobol supposedly had no problem with that report being given to the press. I later found out that the police report was actually being withheld because the report would reveal that charges were being fabricated against me with the assistance of Alan J. Sobol and Pullman & Comley. Alan J. Sobol and Pullman & Comley engaged in fraud by hiding critical documents from their client's access, such as law enforcement reports. Alan J. Sobol only became involved in this case to invade my privacy and to prosecute me from within his position as the defense attorney.
Sobol’s lies and false information filed adversely affected me and effectively denied me the Constitutional right to due process. Judge Norko and subsequent Judges postponed the alleged misdemeanor case hearings approximately 15 times over the last 3 years. Sobol lied to his client and claimed that the judge was sick. During the course of these hearing absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing was obtained by Sobol or presented by the prosecution. These postponements caused unnecessary and unwanted travel to and from New York, causing loss of work and travel expenses. These unethical postponements based on a fabrication of illness of a single solitary Judge happened approximately 15 times. As you know, the excessive number of postponements resulted in many hours of unnecessary and excessive legal billing. This also prevented due process and justice. Sobol purposely provided false information and incorrect legal advice to his client, to illegally lure his client over state lines to a consultation meeting, which resulted in arrest, and has since developed into a catastrophe. Sobol did not appear in person to represent me properly in any way and he did not even appear or arrange for a substitute attorney to appear at a consultation meeting he scheduled and which resulted in my arrest. This facilitated attorney Sobol’s scheme to secure about $40,000 in fees while withholding crucial police reports from me for an extended period of time. In 2015 I fired Pullman & Comley, but I had already been scammed out of approximately $40,000 in unnecessary legal fees. Anyone considering hiring an attorney should take this as a warning and prevent Pullman & Comley and crooked attorneys like Alan J. Sobol from taking advantage of you.

A family member hired this attorney under the impression he was a worker's comp attorney and after 5 years he has yet to get her case resolved. He never returns her calls and his secretary is left to answer my relatives calls and at times doesn't even allow my relative to go inside the office. Unprofessional! I am baffled that it has been so long and he has yet gotten anything resolved. If he is not a worker's comp attorney, why would he take a worker's comp case???? Isn't this unethical?

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.
