There isn't enough glowing words to express the professionalism, communication standards, and measurable results achieved by hiring Matthew Kirby. After 17 months of no results with an out of state case, I hired Mr. Kirby to represent a workers compensation claim that was getting no where. He consulted with me when ever I needed it, day and night. He knew all the right procedures to achieve a verdict on my behalf. His direction even returned out of pocket money I didn't know could be reimbursed such as mileage and supplies. Today, I have an authorized Doctor and am getting the treatment and payments rightfully due.

My father served 21 years in the Navy, when he passed his life insurance company didn't want to pay me and my sister. Matthew Kirby fought my dads life insurance company and won. His assistant Lisa Strong is a great woman too. I live in Georgia and they were just amazing. I would highly recommend Mr. Kirby!!

please. Summing up, great attorney, great firm.

Saam, was my attorney recently. To write this review does him no justice. However, I do it so others know of him. Saam is very knowledgeable of the law. He knows the opposition counters before hand, he uses incredible leverage using proven medical history. Saam will do everything possible to get you the results you need, surpassing expectation.

Our company was sick of paying higher and higher work company premiums and our claims went on forever
We consulted with John and we went over our cases and insurance stuff and he came up with a plan
He took over the legal handling of all our litigation and it took a year but he got them all settled and closed
Our X-mod went down from 2.5 to 1.0 and premiums are half what they were before we hired him.

I was involved in a motorcycle entertainment work related injury. I had one attorney who I felt failed to represent me appropriately. I was referred to John Miller and let's just say he was able to procure a settlement above and beyond the previous attorney. Since then I have referred several associates. He was trustworthy, knowledgeable, understanding and knew all the tricks of the business within Workersmen Compensation. I highly recommend him for compensation services.

I have a small company (35 employees) and had a claim and we submitted it to our work comp carrier only to be told our coverage was no longer in force. The next thing we knew we had investigators from the Div of Industrial Relations all over us and some agency, uninsured fund, joined us and liened all my equipment and my home. Mr. Miller we after our insurance company and proved we had insurance and they had to handle the claim and Mr. Miller even got back most of the money we paid him from the insurance company.

I am not a type that would write a note and sneak in the suggestion box, let alone spending time and writing a review, but I'd like to rave about a firm that helped me stand tall and get my quality of life back. KCNS Law Group, LLP did an outstanding job helping me with my workers compensation case. But foremost hear my story first. 15 years ago, I was a dedicated elementary school cafeteria worker. I don’t have children of my own and my love for kids gave me the strength to take on this heavy responsibility and prepare meal every day for the little ones. After 11 years of service, one day, the misfortune found its way and kneel in the front of my food chamber. Suddenly, I lost my balance and slipped. In the moment of time, I pictured the children and ruining their lunch and naturally, did not let go of the steaming oversize pan. I held on and kept everything in the casserole, however, the damage was already done. 3rd degree burn on both arms, ripped ligaments and dislocated wrists. The pain was killing me but couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. After all I saved the lunch! Yeah, you guessed it right. I was badly injured. Heavy meds and pain killers became candies to me. Couldn’t do much on my own. Depression and emotional stress was chocking me. It didn’t take much to realize that my loyalty to the school was betrayed. Medical follow-ups started to fade, physical therapy took 5 to 6 attempts to get authorization for. Eventually, I decided to trust my destiny to the hands of our legal system. The attorney and I met once a month, then every 3 months. I was assured that the wheels are rolling. 5 years went by like a blink of an eye. Nothing happened. One day, I received a call from a stranger who claimed was taking over my case. We met, same assurance and the 5th year, like an invaluable baseball card that nobody wanted, I was traded to another attorney. I guess the 5th year was a mark. I was anticipating another exchange on the 5th year but suddenly we were going to arbitration. Is luck finally on my side? Few court appearances, and court appointed experts to evaluate me who declared me a disable person. Few month later, I become aware that the firm was relocating. Well, I guess switching offices was better than being traded. The attorney who was handling my case told me that her assistant will be arranging my next court appearance and will be representing me from there on. She was young, ambitious and a blessing. Talia kept me updated every week as to what was going on. She went to court handled all hearings and when it came time to fight. Not only she fought for me but won on all accounts. Come to realize that this 15 years added some numbers to my age and now that I qualified for Medical, Medicare and Social Security assistance, after reaching a settlement, my benefits could be in jeopardy. Talia flew some experts to LA who specialized in the Trust business. We met, we talked and we strategized. The case was settled within months. I can now have surgery and get on with my life. I have a lifelong pension and receive by weekly payments forever. I have an indefinite medical coverage for my injuries. It has been my pleasure to work with Talia. Intelligent, persistent, and enthusiastic are the three words I would use to describe her. One of the highest performing attorneys, she takes over a valuable but high-risk portfolio and not only delivers by expectation but she also turned prospects into realities. If you ever have the opportunity to talk with Talia, take it. She will be one of the smartest people you've ever met and her easy style of communication will keep you engaged for hours. Talia is a brilliant individual who stands out in a crowd. She has a knack for detail and the integrity to back it up. She is a rare find, a diamond in the rough, and someone that gets the job done. Talia knows the law inside and out and works very close with her clients.
If you have the chance to hire her, take it. You'll not regret it!

I am a nurse who was injured on the job. My injury caused systemic and permanent damages that are catastrophic and have left me 100% permanently disabled. I am unable to return to the workforce in any capacity or even live my former normal life. Every day (& night) is a struggle for me. I became a nurse to help people and to provide for my family and here I am, not being able to do either, or even help myself.
I have never been involved in a worker's compensation claim prior to this injury and I knew nothing about worker's compensation law. After my injury, I did not hire an attorney for some time. As my symptoms worsened, the insurance company began denying vital doctor prescribed treatments. Eventually I retained an attorney who seemed knowledgeable but was not progressing my case adequately.
I was referred to Bentley & More LLP. Dane Gilliam, Esq. and Jose Gonzalez, Esq. took over my case. My case is complicated and involves various specialists, treatments, and medical expert opinions. Dane and Jose aggressively handled all of my legal matters including winning at appeals and trial. My questions were always answered promptly and thoroughly. I truly appreciate the timely communication and extra ongoing efforts that Dane took to explain matters to me.
It is very important to retain an attorney that is knowledgeable and experienced in worker's compensation, who makes the effort to have open and honest, timely and understandable communication with their client, and who can produce results so that the client can deal with their injuries. Dane and Jose are all of that and more. If you are involved in a workplace injury, don't wait to retain an attorney and choose your attorney wisely. I strongly recommend calling Bentley & More LLP.
Dane and Jose, thank you for your representation. You have been a blessing to me and to my family.

If you have a potential injury case, I highly recommend giving the office of Bentley and More a call .They have always been reliable, honest, responsive and caring of my situation. They handle every thing from the insurance claim to the back and forth of dealing with them. I never had to worry about pestering phone calls or retelling my case to the insurance a million times. My attorney Dane Gilliam was always there if I needed him and would promptly respond to calls, texts, and emails. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

I have known Rand Hoch for over 16 years. I have used him as a Private Mediator when I handled defense cases for 3 years and claimant's cases for the past 13 years. He always does a great job explaining the law to the claimants. He is a former Judge of Compensation Claims so he has extensive experience with trials. He relates well with claimants. He works hard and will stay late if necessary to help the parties reach a resolution. I highly recommend Rand Hoch as a Mediator.

Rand was so very helpful to me in my attempt to get my homestead issues resolved. He is truly well connected and knowledgeable in local legal processes. He guided me towards a course of action that resulted in a quick, not litigious outcome. I would suggest him as a consultant or mediator who is well connected and knowledgeable, and with whom you will feel like you are being well represented by a trusted advisor.

Mr. Alves responded to Evvo questions I have inquired about WC case. Thru Evvo posting, I was able to email him and ask if I can send him WC case documents and concurrent DFEH related labor law cases.
I posted my email address so that he can contact me back via email. I sent inordinate amout of case documents via email and also thru Google drop down share drive he was kind to sent to me.
He spent reviewing all those documents over both days of Saturday and Sunday weekend and got back to me via email on Sunday afternoon that he will be taking my labor law case. I asked him to place on hold reviewin WC case for now.
He was very understanding of my urgency needs and was willing to take his valuable weekend rest time in reviewing my cases over the weekend. He was also kind to let me know ahead he will be calling me for contract paperwork Monday next day.
Very prompt, efficient, effective, thorough, responsive, professional, insightful of knowing my needs. Also very supportive and friendly. Thank you so much thus far.
Sincerely from bottom of my heart.

He gave me a comprehensive run through of how the process would work and the timeframe that we would be looking at. At every step of the process, I had complete confidence in George. That allowed me to have comfortability when recovering. In the end, we won the case, but I also won a relationship with a very good lawyer and person. Thank you George!

When I got into a car accident, my health insurance required me to consult with a lawyer to ensure that financial responsibility was assigned fairly so I could receive accurate compensation for my medical bills. George bridged the communication between the police and the insurance company with ease, putting my fears to rest and allowing the process with my insurance to continue smoothly. I was grateful for George’s patient, self-assured handling of my case that reassured me of his personal drive toward excellence in his work.

Ms. Feldman took the time to meet with me and discuss every aspect of my case. When she realized she couldn't help me with all of the legal problems I came to her for, she then utilized her time to find another lawyer for me. Although the other lawyer could have handled everything, I left the cases she could do with her, and I am so glad I did. She is an excellent and ethical attorney.

Excellent communication skills. Was given the time and attention I personally needed, as well as the time and attention my case needed.
After being rear ended I called up the office and felt like they put everything else on hold to focus on me.
We quickly got appointments to be evaluated and to make a treatment plan. When I had questions Ken and his office went above and beyond during Covid to accommodate face time and zoom calls, or quick texts.
There was a point when I didn’t like the doctor I was working with and in less than an hour I had appointments with another office who made me feel comfortable.
After three months I have no out of pocket medical expenses and we are working for a fair compensation. I feel respected and valued, I feel trust in the process laid out for me, and in the action taken to follow that plan. 10/10 would recommend to anyone

Attorney Wilburn represented my sister and brother-in-law in a car accident case. From the moment they stepped into her office until she won the case for them, I was told nothing but good things about her. The entire time she worked on their case, my sister spoke so highly of her. She stated that she had never known an attorney who was as nice and caring as Attorney Wilburn. Not only was she relatable and down to earth, she was a shark of an Attorney who was very knowledgeable in her areas of expertise.

Monica Wilburn is an awesome lawyer. She is extremely personable and extremely professional. I gave her my case when I was most stressed out, most concerned about my future and very concerned about my family. Her personal touch reassured me and gave me confidence during a critical time in my life. She got results that I never thought were possible. My financial future is secure because she is so good at what she does. In fact, I have referred two of my friends to her law practice. If you want a good lawyer, put your trust in Monica.

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.
