We had a fantastic experience working with Lotfi Legal regarding our immigration process! I came to our initial consultation with a complex situation and many questions after having done my own extensive research. Atty Fuchs found a path through to meet our goals that we didn't realize was available to us, which ultimately saved us many years and thousands of dollars compared to paths other attorneys were recommending. We worked together to file our applications quickly and were lucky to have full resolution of our case in a short timeframe. We couldn't be more grateful! It can be difficult to know who to trust regarding immigrations concerns and I cannot recommend Lotfi enough.

Shabnam Lotfi and her team appeared in our lives when all hope seemed lost for our Petition for Alien Relative case. They expertly guided us through a seemingly complex process, providing clear explanations and personalized attention. Their extensive knowledge, keen insight, and compassionate heart made all the difference. Thanks to their exceptional service, we now have high hopes of reuniting with our loved ones soon.

I had initially contacted another law office, however, they wouldn't return my calls or respond to emails to set up the consultation, so, I contacted Sapinski Law Offices and I'm glad I did!
From start to finish, everything was explained, any questions I may have had were answered and most importantly, I had no stress during the process! I highly recommend Sapinski Law Offices. Thank you!

I was injuerd at work and after workmans comp reviewed my case, they said it wasnt work related. Even after getting the paper work filled out by my surgeon, verifying that the injury I sustained was from my work related accident and I was still denied workmens compensation.
I found Domer Law doing a google serach for workmens comp laywers. Reading about the firm and reading the reciews, I contacted them. Brandon Brown took the time to listen to my case and took me on as a client. He was amazing! He took care of everything. He fought for me and what was right. I am so happy to say, I just received my settlement check!
Thank you Brandon and the Domer staff for always keeping me updated throught my case and explaining everthing and answering all my questions. Especially relieving me from the stress and anxiety this incident caused me. I couldn’t of done it without Domer Law.

This is a bad firm. You’re always getting a new paralegal or assistant and attorney and they never communicate it to you. There’s VERY high turnover for a reason. This place is BEYOND toxic. There are better law firms out there (Canon & Dunphy) who actually care about you as a client. This is coming from a former employee.

I reached out to this firm under a tight deadline, unsure if they could assist me given the time constraints. However, Attorney Jubaile and paralegal Jennifer immediately stepped in and ensured everything was filed on time. Working with Jubaile was a pleasure; she made me feel confident and well-supported throughout the process. I am incredibly grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and dedication to going above and beyond. Thank you so much for your exceptional help!

I can't say enough about the great service we received at Janssen Law. We had a small claim that wouldn't earn the firm much money (maybe not even enough to cover the expense of their time). But they were still enthusiastic about taking it on out of a motivation to defend what was right. Bob was so helpful, enjoyable to work with, and selflessly interested in sticking up for the everyday man.

Choosing Janssen Law LLC was a fantastic decision! Every member of their team was/is extremely hard-working and professional. I was very impressed with how well they were able to explain complicated legal procedures with compassion and empathy, all while being direct and informative. They were very prompt in their responses to my questions and made sure to include my input in each decision along the way. If you're looking for the best, you've found it with Janssen Law LLC. I couldn't recommend them enough!

I contacted Nicolet Law after a work related auto injury. They were professional from the start. Adam checked in periodically throughout the healing process. Not only to see how I was feeling, but also to make sure I was receiving the proper care, and treatment. I want to give Adam 6 stars for the way he handled the outcome of my settlement as well.. When push comes to shove, and you want it handled professionally, Adam Nicolet is your guy. 💪

My case was a difficult one, but Adam still took it when others turned me down. I fought against the court and multiple insurance investigations to prove the accident was not my fault. Eventually, it was determined that I was innocent. But the insurance company still fought against the verdicts and refused to pay a dime. Somehow, Adam managed to get them to pay just enough that it would erase the majority of my medical debt. He worked with me on his fees so I would have enough for all of the debt to be erased in the end. I cannot give enough praise for all the work Adam and his team did. Thank you for not giving up on me.

Attorney Nina Kelly was selected for my case and I can't express enough how much I appreciate her understanding and knowledge of the intricacies involved with my situation. The way she offered advice, strategy options, reassurance during difficult times, and sometimes a listening ear contributed to my confidence in her and her abilities to effectively strategize and assure a positive outcome for my case. I am also extremely grateful to Paralegal Manager, Kimberley Rose, whom was an integral part of my team by ensuring the complicated documentation involved was accurate, easy to understand, and filed quickly. Let's face it, divorce is never pleasant, but Attorney Kelly's tenacity in pursuing a response from opposing counsel and getting things concluded in a timely manner let me know I had made the right choice in a representative. I never once second-guessed my decision to hire Attorney Kelly and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a strong advocate that produces results in their family law case.

Attorney Pitts went to bat for me for two injuries the second was carreer ending. Both work comp cases went to trial and we won both. Jim was very thorough in collecting all the intricate details that ultimately won the case. I have recommended him to others with the same results. Jim will work tirelessly to give you the best possible outcome in your case. Jim's attention to detail secured me and my families well being. Thank you Jim and Team for your efforts in both my cases.

I had a workman’s comp case with a major company and after doing a bit of research, I decided to go with him… after the initial meeting, it was really hard to get ahold of him. I would be the one to reach out and have to get updates after sending him requested information. There would never be any replies. Finally, when he did reply, it was extremely short. I had ENOUGH when I got a response asking for an update & he referenced another persons case followed by saying “there’s not more we can do since you were the one at fault.” ??? The case he was messaging me about involved a head on car accident when mine was a workman’s comp case??? I thought getting a lawyer was supposed to relieve stress, not cause more. I was doing all of the work myself and did not feel heard at all. Ended up having the case dropped and losing a lot of money.

Hired Jason for a work comp case. I know my case was going to be rather involved so I sought out a lawyer through my Teamsters union. The Teamsters Lawyer out of Washington state recommended Jason.
After initial consult, I felt quite confident with Jason. However, at this point I felt compelled to write this review.
Over the months and months at this point of my surgery, having difficulties with the insurance company with TTD benefits, and not receiving medical devices needed for recovery that the insurance did not want to cover, I made several phone calls to Jason‘s office.
The first phone call I placed to him with questions about the insurance company/ work comp carrier went unanswered for more than three weeks.
When I contacted his office again, I was told that I needed to set up an appointment for him to call me back. This was accomplished with an appointment date, however, I did not get a call back.
I called his office again, and was put on hold for him to finally pick up the telephone. this was after my scheduled appointment time.
The Work Comp insurance finally came through approving the medical device with the help of DWD Madison Wisconsin work Comp division, (not Jason) that I needed after my surgery, but once again, I did that with the help of the Work Comp division in Madison Wisconsin not Jason. I also needed Jason to help me fill out a hearing request with the state of Wisconsin against the work comp insurance carrier because they were not paying me the correct TTD benefit amount. TTD benefits at this point in time are still stalled. The Work Comp carrier hasn’t done anything to adjust the weekly benefit amount.
I finally got the division DWD Madison Work Comp involved. Jason Oldenburg was not. I had to do this on my own. The state took a look at all of the monetary/medical equipment that I needed. And they have been the only ones that could give me any kind of help at this point seeing that Jason did not.
The state did all the TTD financial calculations, (which at this point the Work Comp carrier has not adjusted ) and stepped in about the medical device that I needed after my surgery six weeks after the surgery.
I also requested the paperwork for hearing with the lawyers from the DWD Work Comp division in Madison. I received the paperwork and it was quite perplexing, and I didn’t want to try and fill it out myself.
When I received the paperwork from the Work Comp division in Madison Wisconsin, I looked over the paperwork, called Jason‘s office, and talked to Ashley at the front desk, requesting a return phone call from Jason.
After 2 1/2 weeks it never happened, he never did call me back. That’s enough for me. If you can’t count on someone upfront before things get complex, how can you trust him when things start to get dicey/complex.
He apologized to me after the first unanswered phone call months ago, and said he would do better, keep me informed, “and to give him another chance” retaining him as a lawyer. I agreed to give him another chance and he did it again (no call back) I need help with my TTD benefits, he has been no help. I will not give or put my trust in a lawyer that cannot simply return a phone call. Anybody who Reads this review may think I am distraught, upset, or angry. I am not, just just very disappointed.
I wish Jason Oldenburg and his law firm well, he’s just not for me! I dissolved the client/lawyer relationship.

I was reluctant to try for disability, even with long standing multiple sclerosis. I knew I could no longer work full time, with my symptoms, but I questioned if I would win a disability case. I was referred to Jason, and he treated with respect from day one. He was very thorough in explaining the process, and answered all my questions with patience. He stayed with my case, even though I was denied a few times, but I finally won. Jason, thank you for all the time that you spent on my case. I appreciated his approachable demeanor, his honesty, humor and professionalism. A down to earth attorney who made me feel comfortable. Thank you.

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.
