As a former and current workers' compensation claims adjuster, I felt well-equipped to navigate the workers’ compensation system. However, when bad actors refuse to act fairly, even experienced professionals can struggle. After I sustained a repetitive injury at work, my employer, also an insurance carrier, denied my medical care, claiming my situation had to be "extreme" to qualify for surgery. It was clear my claim was being mismanaged, and despite consistent communication efforts from both me and my treating physician, my care continued to be denied, affecting my daily life. With few options left, I sought legal representation to secure the medical care and benefits I was entitled to. As an adjuster, I know the best attorneys let their results speak for themselves—no need for flashy advertisements. Selecting the right attorney was crucial, and choosing John Sharpless made all the difference. From our initial conversation, John was quick to offer knowledgeable guidance and filed a petition for benefits for the care I was being denied. John’s adaptability and strategic approach truly set him apart. Drawing on my adjuster experience, I was able to collaborate with John, round-tabling the claim and adjusting tactics as case details evolved. He was always several steps ahead, giving me confidence in his ability to secure a fair outcome. Ultimately, John negotiated a settlement $25,000 above the claim's initial valuation—not just for the money, but to ensure I received the care and compensation necessary to fully recover. Navigating a work injury claim is challenging, even for an experienced adjuster. John Sharpless made the journey manageable and realistic, cutting through the nonsense and focusing on what mattered. If you need a workers’ comp attorney who knows his stuff and won’t sugarcoat things, John is the one to call. He is a no B.S type of attorney, Just Comp.

I used Kevin back in 2004 for an accident case out of Sarasota County. The trial in case took quite a while but that’s expected. Kevin was absolutely amazing and did an in-depth thorough job. He kept me updated all along the way and it all paid off in the end, literally, I highly recommend Kevin Woods for any type of Cases that he practices. I really don’t think you could find a better attorney anywhere around in Southwest Florida, including Morgan and Morgan. If you’ve been involved in any kind of an accident whatsoever, make sure you hire this man because you won’t find any better.

Highly recommend!

Horrible experience overall. They have done a very poor job with communication on handling a claim we initially started over two years ago with them. For a year we heard from no one on the case it wasn't until I started reaching out consistently that things then started to move. I would love to say our case was handled with care but it was not. While David is very knowledgeable and readily available to discuss our matter his timelines have never been met since day one. Our settlement is significantly lower than initially promised. Upon coming to agreement during mediation back in December we have yet to settle. Any communication has come from me inquiring about the status of things. We were told this would be settled by end of January early Feb and it is not. It's now mid April and no check cut and no one has a clue on when this will even happen due to lack of response from third parties involved. This whole process was not worth the Pennie's we are being offered nor did they do what they promised. Will never recommend anyone to this Firm ever unless you want poor communication and failed deadlines on multiple occasions and bait and switch tactics.

Mr. Sharpless used his wealth of knowledge to attain the settlement i wanted. He was very attentive to any changes that needed to be made to my case, and also met any needs I was concerned about. Thank you again, Mr. Sharpless!!!

We had the pleasure to work with the team and May i say THEY ARE GREAT and really care about their clients and they fight tooth and nail to get the justice you deserve. I would recommend woods trial law to anyone Thank you so much Nicole for always responding back to me and following up you are Amazing also May God bless you all.

Kevin was very thorough. He did a GREAT job of managing our expectations so we were extremely and pleasantly “surprised” with the outcome! He was incredibly professional and at mediation, he conveyed every aspect of the case with knowledge and confidence.

Kevin is the best lawyer I’ve seen in action it was worth the wait for trial

I hired Mr Sharpless to handle my SSDisability claim. I found him to be professional and he handled my case quickly. Very happy with the results.

Mr. Sharpless was referred to me by a friend. He was very professional, timely, and provided the best representation I could have asked for. He guided my family and I through the entire process of our case and made us feel confident during meetings and our deposition. I knew I could trust him and his staff to provide correct information. Thank you Mr. Sharpless for all you do! It made a huge difference in our lives.
