We appreciate Daggett Shuler representing us in an auto accident. This was the first time that I have been involved in an accident. We wanted to use Daggett Shuler because we felt confident that our case would be represented fairly when dealing with multiple insurance companies. We recently closed and felt the compensation was fair. I know that if I, alone, had to deal with insurance companies, the compensation would not have been as fair. Thank you to the group at Daggett Shuler!!

Anytime average hard working people need help, Griff is the man to see. Our local union has used him to protect our rights, as well as, to talk with our members about Labor Law. If you have a case, he will make things happen. A true friend to labor.

Griff Morgan provided me with sound legal advice and strategy when I found myself in an unbearable situation with an employer. He was firm and yet very much a gentleman during negotiations. His use of tact, diplomacy and guidance made what was supposed to be a difficult day into a very acceptable experience. I had the better attorney at the table that day and everyone in the room knew it.

My son and I were hit by a drunk driver on Interstate 40. My truck flipped and we were both pretty banged up. The insurance company wanted to say that the drunk driver didn’t have permission to use the car he was in and weren’t going to pay anything to me or my son. We hired Doug to take over the case, and within a month he not only got the insurance company to agree to pay, he got them to pay all the money they had on the policy to us.
Without Doug we wouldn’t have gotten a thing. He’s a great lawyer and a really nice guy.

Mike is the rock star of all lawyers. He handled my case that lasted over a year and he gave me the best advice in my situation. Mike is truly liked and respected by many people because he is truthful, honest, and is blessed with wisdom. He always returned my calls - always. It was comforting to me to know he and Kara (another lawyer that works with him) were always on my side. Thank you Mike

You will not find a better Attorney. They will hole your hand the whole way. I had an attorney in High Point for 2 yrs I knew there reception after getting the run away. I chose Mike Lewis he down to earth and if I called five times a day. He would always call me back. If it wasn't for Mike Lewis helping me I would not have gotten my disability. He has an experience Social Security person that worked for Social Security
for years and now he works for Mike Lewis and with all the great advice I had my Disability in three months ...I would not trust anyone else to hold my hand thru all this ordeal. He not only a Attorney He's your friends and his christian ways and his staff are excellent ....I m telling you Hire Mike Lewis you got a friend as well as an attorney.....Very down to earth and he does not rush your visits he there for you. It was like God sent me to Mike Lewis I needed a christian friend that is an attorney. Instead getting the run around another Attorney is High Point. I never met the attorney at the place in HP nor did I get a one on one experience like Mike Lewis;s office offers. I will always be obligated to them. JS

We walked in as clients, but left with a great friendship! Made us feel comfortable and that we were the most important of his cases. Everything that has been said on all of his commercials are true! Took the time to make sure that my husband was always comfortable.
I would recommend him because of the caring, all our questions were answered so us being, laymen could understand. Never made you feel like the questions you asked of him were not important. He answered all of them.
No one could have done his job any better! Thank-you for everything dear friend! .

George Francisco exceeded my expectations in all aspects. He calmly and actively listened, understood, and helped to focus my concerns and goals. He then formulated a practical, reasonable plan to accomplish those goals and executed the plan with positive effect in a timely manner. His "people-skills" and "legal skills" are impeccable. His estimates of time, costs, and outcome proved to be "right-on." I recommend him with complete confidence.

I worked with Doug Meis on a personal injury case stemming from a car accident with an underinsured motorist. He was fantastic. He explained everything to me, provided me with possible scenarios, and guided me through some very complicated information. He got me a great settlement, when I originally thought I was going to have to pay even though I wasn't at fault. He is everything you want your attorney to be. Kind and patient and knowledgeable for the client, and tenacious and persistent with the insurance companies. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing an attorney for personal injury. He also does workman's comp claims.

Mr. Maynard did an outstanding job representing my family member. He and his team were attentive, professional, and most importantly settled the worker's compensation claim out of court. My family member is now able to receive the care he deserves due to the work of Mr. Maynard. We were beyond pleased with the result and recommend his counsel to anyone looking for an attorney.

Wonderful! Atty Christine Burnside and her Paralegal Miss Julia Lane took my case and applied their expertise. I appreciate the knowledge, skill, and quality of the outstanding professionalism I received working with these ladies on behalf of the firm. I must also say, my case, also delicate, as all disability cases are, was handled with care and precision. I believe the work these ladies put in/on my case let us arrive at a favorable yet VERY quick decision from SSA. I'd recommend Deuterman and the people who worked on my case any day. Thank you so much!

My husband had an issue from several years ago and did not reside in Lexington, NC. Carlos was able to do all the footwork and coordinated with the DA, even with us being out of state to get the issue dismissed. I would highly recommend Carlos, he is very personable, knowledgable, and always available for any questions or updates on your case via text or phone call. Lastly, he is VERY affordable!!!! It was an overall pleasure for myself, as well as my husband to work with Carlos and his pleasant and highly efficient assistant Jean. Thank you both!!!!

Writing this review because of the unacceptable and costly administrative errors made during the handling of my case. Egregious errors include the attorney failing to prepare any argument points for negotiation, blaming his performance on his failing memory, double billing for hours already paid for, and ultimately *losing my settlement check* within his own office. He billed me for time he spent looking for the check he had misplaced, and withdrew funds from my settlement check without permission or providing a bill for services. I know these administrative errors are atypical for law firms. Unfortunately, I made a poor choice in choosing this firm to represent me.

"We recently worked with Mr Gale to help my 19-year-old son with a serious out-of-state speeding ticket that could have had major consequences for his insurance, license, and court fees. Although he wasn’t the cheapest option, every dollar spent was well worth it. You truly get what you pay for, and Robert Gale proved this with his incredible expertise and efficiency.
From the start, he was consistently in communication, which brought me peace of mind and reassured my son throughout the entire process. He was honest, full of integrity, and transparent with us, qualities that are sometimes rare in this field. Thanks to his skill, what seemed like a daunting task was resolved swiftly and with minimal stress on our part. I’m typically apprehensive about working with lawyers, but Mr. Gale has completely changed my perspective. He made this challenging experience much easier, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of reliable, effective representation.

We did a real estate closing with this firm. The closing went fine but the assistant made a mistake and mailed the closing check to an incorrect address. When it came time to reimburse me for my costs she said she would only pay part of the fees. If I ever have a need for a real estate office I will surely look elsewhere.

As a client of The law Office of Douglas Maynard Jr I found myself in an interesting situation. I was referred to him from another attorney who said he was the man for the job. As I soon found out, he was the man for for the job. My case was an interesting one. His office did a great job throughout my whole case and and dug through every law that may have pertain to my case. He did his homework and it was proven in the settlement! He went out of his way to make sure his client was 100% satisfied ,which I am. I would definitely recommend his firm. His staff was always there what I needed to find out any details. I feel the one-on-one attention I received made me feel relaxed in a tense situation. Thanks!

I’ve been dealing with this law firm since October I had a work incident to where my finger got cut off I called the law firm and Ambria was assigned to me not knowing she is just a receptionist and not a lawyer, she not only doesn’t answer phone calls nor text messages but also played as if she was my lawyer, I couldn’t get my prescriptions nor was I receiving my correct pay from worker’s compensation, I kept calling and leaving voicemails because every time I call it goes to voicemail then one day I was told my lawyer would be Tammy then Shannon, however Shannon called me and was highly disrespectful to me even hung up in my face with all that they still wanted 25 percent of a settlement that I never received, I strongly urge people not to use this law firm for anything, you get the run around, you don’t get all your wages, plus you get disrespected just for calling because you have a receptionist that’s trying to play as a lawyer I should file a lawsuit against them for Emotional Distress

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.
