Nick Pontarolo, and the rest of the staff at this office were thorough and proffesional and did a great job on educating us on the whole process. Thank you for the help you gave us in dealing with the state.

I couldn't be happier with my attorney(s) They have done so much for me, they take care of everything so you don't have to worry.

Why Nick Pontarolo should represent you if you have been injured on the job! Read this Post to the end and you will clearly see why you need Nick and this Firm! I'm 65 years old and have worked hard Construction Labor for most of my life until I injured my shoulder at the end of 2018. That is when I opened my first "Workers Comp Claim" and after many Exams, Tests and Scans, an Orthopedic Surgeon told me that I had "Stage 4 Osteoarthritis" on top of other serious complications that would have caused me to need a Shoulder Replacement in the very near future, especially if I kept working at my trade. I did not seek any legal counsel at the time and had to go back to work "light duty" in spite of my ongoing condition. I then was immediately reinjured after being taken off of "light duty" in middle of 2019! I saw the "Company's Preferred Doctor" that wouldn't even prescribe pain medication, despite the obvious pain I was in. I decided to call a good friend of mine that is an Employment Attorney in Portland to ask his advice. He told me that he would find me good Attorney in Spokane and through his research he gave me a short list and Nick Pontarolo's name was right on top. I called Nick and he took immediate action and control as he represented and guided me through a maze of "BUREAUCRATIC RED TAPE" involving Doctors, Employers, Attorneys, Therapists, Vocational Rehabilitation Councilors and even more. Because of Nick's connections, I have had one of the premier Shoulder Surgeons in the Country replace my shoulder and some of the best rehabilitation experts throughout the region working with me as well. While all this was going on, I never missed a "Time Loss' compensation check for 4+ years. I'm now retired, and my claim just closed and without Nick's professional representation and expertise for these last 4+ years, I truly believe that I would have lost everything I've ever worked for my entire life. Nick, You treated me like family and did an incredible job and for that I am forever grateful... Patrick PS- Also, I want to thank all the Attorney's and Office Staff for the combined team effort and supporting rolls you all played for my well-being and all while I was enjoying the view from the 12th floor of the Chase Bank Building Downtown Spokane.

My husband was heavily medicated as he was under hospice care for stage 4 cancer. I was medicated due to depression. Mr Curran was recommended to us by Spokane Hospice as someone who would come to our house to update my husband's will. I do not believe Mr Curran did his best work for us. My husband was very distraught and agitated, I did my best not to upset him anymore than necessary, and signed off on his will. Unfortunately, even though he asked if I understood what I was signing off on, I still signed, walked away crying and let the witnesses finish up with the lawyer. I understood that the will said everything was going to his children, but I also assumed I could contest the will, as signing was an act of kindness to a dying man, who repeatedly told me not to worry, that I was being taken care of. When Mr Curran left our home, he took my phone with him. It was three days of me looking before he called to say he had it. When my husband passed away his sisters were the executors of the estate. Imagine my suprise when 5 weeks after his passing, after living in this house for 10 years, I was served with an eviction notice... 3 days to get out, served on me by his sister and written up by none other than Mr Curran. Was he my husband's lawyer or his sister's lawyer? I felt there was some conflict of interest... probably wrong on that point, but still I don't think he took in my husband's mental state, or mine, into consideration. He most certainly did not consider what happened to me afterwards, and Oh My Gosh. He took my phone.

Nick I can not thank the guy enough. This was a nasty case against KAISER ALUMINUM and we beat them. He is very dedicated, knows his law, and will not let anything go unturned. What an amazing attorney. Highly, Highly recommend.

I had high hopes for this business transaction. However, I felt very taken advantage of in regards to how this transpired. It seemed as though my lack of knowledge in the legal field was recognized and taken advantage of. I ended up with 10k in charges for something colleagues have had taken care of for much less. I feel that some kind of rough numbers should have been discussed aside from just hourly cost. He was very nice and prompt to get things back to me quickly when needed.

If you were injured at work, you need Nick. When I was injured at work, I was too stubborn and proud to get the help I needed. I did what my company told me to do, tried not to rock the boat, hoping they would fix me up and get me back on the road. I went to their approved doctor, followed all the advice of their case manager, and gritted my teeth through the pain until my condition went from bad to worse to permanent. Big mistake. My injury got worse and worse following their advice, and they kept delaying and putting off the recommended treatments. Then a family friend recommended Nick. It was a night and day difference. Immediately, I had better doctors, coaching for going to so-called "independent medical exams," and actual responses from my company when we pushed to resolve my claim. Nick worked tirelessly for me for YEARS to make sure my case got the resolution and compensation the insurance company owed me for ruining my life. I have been disabled for 8 years, and every time they tried to shut off benefits or hire private detectives to stalk me or deny a recommended procedure, Nick was on top of them. The company I worked for and their self-insured insurance company wanted to sweep me under the rug and ride the claim out until I died or went away with my tail between my legs. Nick made sure that didn't happen, and my life can continue now because of his work. My claim has been accepted, my disability checks are coming in like they are supposed to, and I have great medical care. If you are like me: a proud, hard working blue collar person who just happened to fall into a bad set of circumstances, it isn't your fault and you aren't weak for getting the help you need. Nick Pontarolo is the help you need. If you are reading this, I assume you are looking for an injury lawyer. Don't hesitate. Call him as soon as you possibly can, before some insurance company turns you into a number and tries to push your case off until your injuries become permanent. If I could rewind time, I would have called him the same day I got injured, and you should too.

Nick got my case going and my treatment started. If it wasn’t for him I would be still dealing with the headache. Thanks for the help could not have chosen better

Nick went out of his way to not only help me but also some of my friends. He is so kind, intelligent, and really gives much more than you would ever expect. I'm huge on customer service and I never felt so important, special, and like he only cared about me 24/7. I'm so lucky and blessed with more money because my friend referred me. So please let me pass this knowledge on to everyone that needs a lawyer that is guaranteed to go above all expectations. Thanks again Nick!
