I'm going to say right now, my story is not going to be like everybody else on here but God gives us all different struggles and I hope this helps somebody. This firm has helped me through one of the darkest times of my life.
On January 3, 2012, I got the call that I had been fired after enduring a horrible neck injury from getting hurt at work a year prior. Bills were behind, my car was broke down and I so did I. They cut my insurance off, they cut my comp check off. Everything stopped in one day. I had to leave my apartment. I had no where to live. They called me and told me they were sending me to pain management and that there was nothing else they could do for my injury.
Three years went by, I kept telling the pain management doctor that I knew it was not muscle pain. Every visit, I would tell the doctor that could hardly move, that it felt like lighting was striking across my body. I couldn't move my fingers. Finally, they sent me for a test and told me that my work injury had worsened. The disk had moved and was sitting right on top of the nerve. They told me the ONLY way they could treat it was with steroid shots and pills they wouldn't do surgery- which is what I really needed to correct the issues.
I couldn't do anything I loved anymore. I couldn't be with my grandkids. I couldn't play music. I couldn't leave the house without taking a pill. I was so depressed and ashamed. I've never been addicted to anything. I felt like nothing. I did things I'm not proud of but I couldn't handle the pain. Work comp didn't care, they sent me a letter to tell me that they would no longer provide me with care because I ended up abusing the pills that they got me hooked on. I didn't want to be me no more. I didn't want to be here anymore. I couldn't trust nobody. The only person I could call was Rocky. I told Rocky he was my last hope. They only person that could help me and Rocky told me "If you listen to me and get off these pills, I will get you through this- everything will be alright, Alex." And that's when my life changed- finally for the better. And now I know looking back that God, Rocky and my girlfriend and my good friends and very spiritual family are the only reason I that am still here today.
Rocky and Dena, got me to treatment right away. They pushed for it. It wasn't easy. I didn't want to at first. But Rocky, Dena, and my doctor got me over the pills. They got me around the curve. They saved my life from a place I never thought it could go.
Rocky fought for me. We never went to court, but Rocky just went to work. The adjuster was a nightmare and he spared me from that. He fault hard to secure me a great settlement. After living on $75 a week for four years it was an unbelievable feeling to be able to provide for my family, to buy my kids and grandkids Christmas presents, to be able to laugh and enjoy people. I have a new car that I'm proud of and so thankful for. I still live in unbearable pain everyday but I'd rather lay in my bed all day then destroy my life with another pill. I'm living drug free and that I've won my life back. Getting injured at work and dealing with work comp and their doctors took so much from me. But Rocky Law helped me get my life back and I'm stronger for it. A pill don't fix you, it makes you worser. I will never let anybody else in my life tell me different. This firm represents freedom from that to me.

I've known Rocky for about 13 years. We met in about 2002. He took a case for me when no one would. He actually handled a few different matters for me. He was upright, straightforward and honest. He talks the talk and walks the walk. He's been good to me and my wife to his family Christmas party even. Rocky is a class-act. In fact, I sent him a few people that needed a lawyer. I try to send everybody I can to him because I trust him. He did me and my family right. I know everybody thinks lawyers are a bunch of thieves but Rocky is broke the mold. Always calls me back, always asks about me. Good guy all the way around.

Rocky McElhaney has went way beyond being a lawyer, he is like a family member. I was badly burned in an industrial accident in 2001 by phosphorus. That day my whole life changed. My family and the doctors didn't even think I was going to make it. Thankfully, I pulled through. Rocky was there by my side from the hospital all the way through the entire fight with work comp and social security. He was there through everything. He went to the doctor visits with me, he was there when I needed him on my worst days, even asked me if he could help paint my house to help me out. I'm telling you, I don't know of any lawyer out there who would treat me so good. We've went to court several times either because workers' comp was trying to cut my meds or because of a social security hearing. Every time it's a nerve-racking experience, but Rocky eased my fears, told me how things were going to go every step of the way. He always did his homework, knew the law, always knew what was going on in my case and when it was time to get in front of the judge he always dominated and made things right. Because Rocky was in my corner, my case was successful. I went through so much depression because of my accident- I can honestly say, I don't think I'd be here if it wasn't for him. At the bleakest times in my life he gave me hope. He even got me additional lump sum in social security payments where initially I was told I was going to be owing social security. He really turned that around! This man is incredible. If you don't know who to turn to after an accident like mine, or a car accident, or other personal injury and you just hire somebody else, you're experience WILL be totally different, and you could be taking a big risk with your future. When you hire Rocky, you can trust he and his team do everything they can to ensure that you get the compensation you deserve and so desperately need. There is no attorney out there like Rocky!

This thing only has 5 stars but i would so love to give it more!!
My name is Shelia Lannom and I was a client with Rocky Law firm for the past few years. I want to recommend him and his staff to any one needing a attorney's assistance.
Rocky took on my case which as he and I called it a "plane crash" waiting to happen!
My case was a up hill battle both ways! Rocky didn't flinch he took on my case as soon as he spoke with me.
Then Afsoon came on board and took my experience with his firm to a whole other level.
From his front office staff to the back I always felt cared for.
Well, Rocky took control of the spiraling plane and Afsoon copiloted, and took my case to a smooth landing. We had a 12 hour trial which Rocky was sick through the whole thing and never complained nor backed down for a second. He and I touched base after trial and I assured him that I felt no one could have done a better job. I don't think rocky could have tried it again as well as he did that day. I let him know that I felt like a ton of bricks had been lifted even without a opinion yet.
No matter the verdict Rocky and Afsoon always made me feel like its going to be ok.
They had my back!!!
When the judges opinion came down Afsoon and Rocky both called me! I could tell it effected them as much as it did me.
I hope to never need a attorney again but I know life throws you curves balls at times and you need one. Rocky and his Firm hit my curve ball out of the park.
I can't say enough about them, but will recommend Rocky and his staff to anyone needing an attorney! I consider Rocky and Afsoon my friends now.

My only child passed away in a car wreck and I hired Rocky to represent me in a wrongful death suit. I could not have made it through everything if Rocky had not been so kind, caring, compassionate and sensitive to what I was going through. Honestly, before I met Rocky and his team of wonderful people, I assumed with him being a trial attorney that he would be just a person in a suit that didn't really care about me, my family and what we have gone through. Much to my surprise, Rocky was much more than I ever expected. He made what was the most difficult thing I had ever gone through manageable. He walked beside me the entire time through the process and always followed through. He helped us understand why legal action was needed in order to get the justice and protect my son's good name.

I worked for Coca-Cola for 15 years, and all the pushing, pulling, lifting and tugging ended up getting to me causing a gradual injury to my neck and back. One day I woke up and I couldn't breathe and I was numb all over. The doctor said that my neck was so messed up that it looked like I'd been in a car wreck. Both the doctors said that I couldn't go back to work and if I did they said It was going to have to be at limited capacity. Work comp of course went on to deny my claim. Then I contacted *****, because I knew they were in the wrong and I wasn't. ***** said don't worry we're gonna take care of you and he did. He got the records, got my surgery approved, he also took care of getting my health insurance to pay for what they were supposed to before I made my claim to work comp. I ended up getting as much money by law that I could get to help set me up and more importantly I now get my medical treatment paid for life. ***** has got the skills in the courtroom and he did the work on the back end so I didn't have to do a thing. I've got friends that are lawyers and even they said that they couldn't have got me what ***** got me because it was a gradual injury and that they are hard to prove. ***** didn't give up, he didn't let up an he really went to bat for me. He's just awesome.

I would recommend Rocky McElhaney Law Firm to anyone that is in need of a trustworthy and caring firm. I turned to Rocky McElhaney Law Firm and Mr.Russell Belk when I was hurt at work and my employer was not looking out for my best interest. My Employer's Dr gave me a lot of restrictions so I could never return back to my old job but turned around and contradicted that by giving me a 0% rating basically looking out for the company not me at all. Mr. Belk and the firm made sure I was seen by a Dr. that had my interest in account not just my employers. If I would have went with my employers Dr. and never hired Rocky McElhaney Law Firm and Mr. Russell Belk I would have walked a way with no job and no settlement instead I walked with more than a fair settlement. The service I received through out the process was 5 star quality, Mr. Belk and Anna stayed in contact with me about the next steps along with answering my emails extremely fast. Do not let your employer make you feel like they have you best interest at hand because when it comes down to it they are going to do whats best for them so you should do the same thing and HIRE Rocky McElhaney Law Firm and Mr. Russell Belk.

I have been represented by Mr. McElhaney's law firm since 2006, I don't believe there is a better firm in the country. I and my health has always been put first by this firm, Mr. McElhaney and his co workers have actually made me realize there is one law firm that I can honestly say is practicing law for the good of its clients. over the years I have recomended Mr. McElhaney's firm to several folks and every one of them have come to me thanking me recomending an excellent experience. Mr. McElhaney is one of the most caring, kind and honest people I have ever known.I wish I could tell everyone about him, I see these attorney's advertising on tv and I know that most if not all aren't nearly as concerned about their client's well being as Mr. McElhaney. I dont have a case pending or anything like that, the reason I am posting this is just because I want everyone that need's legal help can get the name of who I believe is among the best there is. Please if you need legal help from someone that cares please call Mr. McElhaney, you wont be sorry. When my injury first occured I would have never guessed I would be fortunate enough to have the experience I have had. Do yourself a favor and give them a call, it's a lot like a good friend is also your attorney. I would never consider a different attorney if I ever had an injury again. I think this firm is the standard by which all firm's should be held. I started with a traumatic injury and ended up with me health care needs taken care of for life and a friend that contacts me just to see how i'm doing. I don't think there is a better person or a better firm than this one. I hope the best for everyone, I hope you never have an injury that would cause you to need an attorney but if you do there isn't a smarter thing you can do than to call Mr. McElhaney.
