My recent experience with Mr. Green resulted with great success. I find him to be very diligent and knowledgeable in his study of the current laws encompassing divorce, child custody, business, and personal finance evaluations. While performing with great detail and superb approach to the actions that needed to occur he never failed to offer and maintain a gentle and secure feeling this mother of two often needed. I highly recommend his services.

I hired Attorney Arellano after being sued by another person who claimed that I owed her money. This allegation was not true and there was absolutely no paperwork to show I borrowed any money. I found Attorney Arellano knowledgeable, professional, and able to navigate through the production of documents. The other side eventually backed down when faced with a professional litigator. Do not believe the false information in the newspapers and on this website; these were people should have been prosecuted after trying to ruin his reputation. I have recommended Attorney Arellano to my friends and they have been more than satisfied with his work.

Donald Arnold is the best lawyer I have ever talked with and received help that I needed. Donald Arnold and his office are very caring people. Mr. Arnold has helped me with a couple different cases and also helped with writing of family Will’s and Power of Attorney Documents. He is very kind and explains everything. His fee’s were very good. He has even helped me with some documents without charging me. He just wanted to help me. I would highly recommend Donald Arnold for all your legal needs.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Arnold after dealing with a prior attorney who just wasn't working out for me. I researched lawyers and felt that after reviews, Mr.Arnold was an attorney that I was looking for to help me with my parent's Will. I must say, the decision was right! From the first visit in his office to the last, I was treated most professionally and had things explained with much knowledge in a way I could understand. Communication was open the entire time! There were a few bumpy roads along the way within the Will, but Mr.Arnold and his staff were right on top of things. I could have never accomplished an end to these issues without them. There were a few times when the longer office hours were also much appreciated. I can't say thank you enough to him for taking on this case. It was a little hard to find trust after dealing with the first attorney, however the office of Donald Arnold brought back that trust I needed in an attorney. I highly recommend his office and will be using him for personal reasons of my own in the near future.

Attorney Ronald Tomasko represented me on my lengthy Workers' Compensation case. Ron is well versed and extremely knowledgeable with all aspects of Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Law. Ron traveled a three hour round trip distance, (at least a dozen times) to represent me before the Workers' Compensation Judge. He was always well prepared and on time. I can say without a doubt no other attorney could have performed better for me than Ronald Tomasko. After six years Ron's tenacity, and case law knowledge achieved a Workers' Compensation Judgement in my favor!! If you are in need of an Attorney who will work tirelessly for your best interest, Ronald Tomakso is the person to represent you!!

His dedication is unmatched, and he never hesitated to do whatever it took to get the best possible outcome for me and my child.

I was referred to Mike McDonald, and cannot say enough about him and his team. Mike's experience and passion for his clients needs shows thru as soon as you meet him. In this case, I had a back injury from an auto accident. The defendant's insurance company wasn't accepting full responsibility for the situation. Despite 4 years of all this back and forth, Mike stayed very professional, kept me informed, and what helped the most, he kept my head in the game when I was ready to quit, just due to frustration at the situation. I'm so thankful I listened to him instead of giving in to the insurance company's antics. The results far exceeded my expectations and the insurance companies offer by about 10x Thank you again Mike, Alyce, and Claire!

I have got to say working with Mr. Abbott was different than others lawyers I have delt with in the past. He doesn't act flashy and he always calls me back, even though it may take him a day to call, he always did. When I came to him I wasn't getting comp like I should and we had to go to a hearing. A few weeks later I got a big check for all my back pay and mileage and reimbursement for medicine. And that was after the insurance company said I wasn't even hurt on the job! But Mr. Abbott proved it in court. This all happened just a few months ago and I'm almost ready to go back to work now.

Nathaniel (Nat) was recommended to me following a falling accident that resulted in two surgeries for repair of broken bones. Once we met, he listened carefully and took the time to understand the circumstances surrounding the incident, looked at pictures and reviewed the medical issues. He was compassionate but realistically honest in advising me that this would be a tough case to win. After several meetings and a through review of many facets, he took the case and was diligent in dealing with the insurance companies, the property owners and witnesses. He consistently exhibited the highest moral and ethical standards, believed in the legal process and strived to represent fairness to all parties. Nat always communicated with me about " the current status of things and included me on how I wanted to proceed". He made the entire experience understandable, less stressful , and I knew I could trust him to represent me in the most professional manner possible. The outcome was definitely favorable and fair to all parties. I am very grateful for his support, compassion, knowledge and experience. I highly recommend Nathaniel Smith to anyone seeking a qualified attorney that will work hard for his client. He will be my "go-to" attorney for all future legal issues!

Cook and his paralegal Marilyn Mc Doo at their office, they were very prompt and professional during the consultation, I can say that the atmosphere and the way they greeted me made me feel like a very important client, and they took consideration for any conditions I had at the time. I then received representation from The Walthew Law Firm and have been pleased with my overall experience with them. Patrick Cook handled everything else, including the legal issues, doctor’s bills. The paralegal Marilyn Mc doo assigned to my case was amazing, she handled all my issues with L&I. On behalf of Patrick Cook, she responded promptly to my phone calls and emails and gave me solid advice on what to do next as my case was moving forward. I was so please on my decision to seek legal counsel, I frankly don’t know how I would have done it without The Walthew Law Firm.

In 2003, I sought council for a terrible car crash. I was burned by another law firm. I felt their only motive was money, not justice. Then I met "Skip," aka Roger Ritchie Jr.. His dedication and desire to help me was sincere. He cared for me as a person, not as a dollar sign. I have never met anyone so dedicated to serving me. I could not believe that there was an honest and compassionate Lawyer left in the world until I met Skip. He is a devoted and brilliant man who stuck by me again and again, no matter how much "the cards were stacked against me." His mind and his heart are in the right place, which makes a difficult situation so much more bearable. Without him, I would not have a peace of mind, a fair settlement, nor an attorney I could truly count on to help me when I couldn't help myself. He is my Angel. Through the years, Skip has "gone to bat" for me many times. Never has he failed me. I believe it is built in his character to care for everyone like family.

My husband and I hired Mr. Sweeny in December 2011 to handle his worker's comp case. We had been referred to him by another local attorney and saw that he had rave reviews online. Needless to say, even with all the good things we had already heard about him, he exceeded our already high expectations. Mr. Sweeny was extremely professional and courteous and always took the time to answer all our questions - even if we asked the same questions again and again. He always made time for our emails, calls and office visits. Most importantly though his thorough knowledge of the state's worker's comp system and his handling of my husband's case was the key to us avoiding years of medical debt. Mr. Sweeny was the reason - we firmly believe - that my husband won his case. He truly cares about his clients and seeking justice on their behalf and we were so fortunate to have found him. Justice does not always prevail but it always helps to have the best attorney in your corner. We are very lucky to say we had both. I strongly urge any Virginians pursuing a worker's comp claim to hire Mr. Sweeny. You wont regret you did!

During my consultation, Christian provided me with all of the necessary legal information whenever I required it. He was able to understand my situation from more than just the perspective of a lawyer by giving me a sense of empathy as well as being impartial to the situation as a whole, which allowed him to properly assess what legal advice would help me best. Christian is an outstanding lawyer and I highly suggest if you need legal advice that you contact him immediately.

Faith represented me in an employment law claim against my former employer. Through her expertise, intelligence and diligence I won a very fair settlement. Right from our first meeting I was impressed and my confidence in her continued to grow as we worked together. She's very honest, direct and all about doing what is right. She is also thorough in her questioning and takes lots of notes. In addition to her own legal expertise, I benefited from a network of other legal experts with whom she consulted to ensure all bases were always covered. Faith is a disciplined thinker, which she displayed in an amazing document she crafted outlining the facts of my case, the relevant legal principles (e.g., Title VII, FLSA), the strength of our position and the corresponding weaknesses of their position. I'm confident that Faith's expertise in framing the case and the likely averse outcomes for my former employer should this matter go to trial resulted in them presenting us with a favorable settlement. Along with her work ethic and expertise, Faith's kindness, compassion and consultations with me were so reassuring throughout this challenging situation. I recommend Faith to anyone who needs a truly great employment law attorney.

I must say Faith not only met my needs but exceeded my expectations. She was direct but professional. There was no "guessing" because I knew exactly where she was coming from. She was thorough and straight to the point. If I needed to reach her, she was great about returning my calls and she kept me informed as to what transpired. Faith has proven to be very knowledgeable in her field. I have been extremely satisfied with my decision to retain her. If you're looking for a honest, committed professional...look no further.

My husband and I were in a very bad car wreck July 2015. I had missed 9 weeks of work. Greg helped get our hospital and medical bills paid, my new used car purchased, also my back pay. Greg is very down to earth and his paralegal is awesome. If you want a good lawyer who will really listen to your concerns and problems then hire Greg Whitfield and his fabulous paralegal Amanda Harwell Simpson.

Mr. Hedrick displayed an ability to strategize far in advance with a best case scenario in mind. He was very easy to contact and followed up regularly to stay on top of the evolving situation. This attorney has a remarkable sense of recall, even in the long term and a broad knowledge base in his particular field of practice.

Philip ‘Scott’ Hedrick successfully represented me and protected my rights during a difficult period. At first I was hesitant in obtaining professional legal representation to handle my case but Scott took the time to put my fears to rest. I’ve had bad experiences in the past with attorney’s that didn’t seem to be committed to MY best interest but Scott Hedrick kept me well informed and fought hard to achieve a successful outcome in my behalf. Not only would I not hesitate to use Scott to represent me if the need ever arose but I would recommend him to all my family and friends. Scott is not only a great attorney but a great person.

I was going out of town and had a court-hearing for a reckless ticket. Was only 14+ and he advised an online driving school I could go to out of state and represented me in court. Charge was dropped to a speeding for 9pmh over and just had $169 in court fines afterwards. Saved my license and my job!

Like many others, traveling through Virginia I received a ticket. Upon a couple of weeks, I received several letters from traffic attorneys. Mr. Parrish's letter stood out the most as it was professional, informative and straight to the point. Upon getting in contact and speaking with him directly, he was very knowledgable about Virginia traffic and confident . He was able to get my violation reduced to no points! What more do you need, professional, knowledgable and reliable!

This man is awesome at what he does! Somehow he was able to get me out of a reckless driving ticket that was 30 over the speed limit. Got me out of having to take driving school and just a very small fine. Love him! He's well worth it.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
