I was extremely fortunate to get an excellent referral to Mark Gemma from a trusted mutual friend. Without this referral, I was uncertain how to begin searching for a lawyer to represent my best interests by putting me first, which is exactly what Mark and his law firm did without question or hesitation. When I think of Mark Gemma and Gemma Law, these words immediately come to mind: Accessible. Attentive. Caring. Considerate. Ethical. Family. Honest. Intelligent. Professional. Prompt. Reliable. Responsive. Thorough. Trustworthy. There are many lawyers in Rhode Island and only a select few like Mark. I give Mark my absolute highest recommendation and will surely return whenever I am in need of his fine expertise legal services.

Mark Gemma is an outstanding lawyer. My case was a slip and fall and was very complicated. Mark always encouraged me. He answered my questions and was always confident and clear in his judgement. He won my case and my settlement was more than I hoped for. His staff was always helpful and professional. I would certainly recommend Mark.

My son and I were hit by a drunk driver on Interstate 40. My truck flipped and we were both pretty banged up. The insurance company wanted to say that the drunk driver didn’t have permission to use the car he was in and weren’t going to pay anything to me or my son. We hired Doug to take over the case, and within a month he not only got the insurance company to agree to pay, he got them to pay all the money they had on the policy to us. Without Doug we wouldn’t have gotten a thing. He’s a great lawyer and a really nice guy.

We recently moved here from Wisconsin. I was waiting on an appeal from Wisconsin along with my Wisconsin attorney. The decision came in stating my case go back to the Administrative Judge here in Georgia. My Wisconsin lawyer decided he did not wish to proceed here with my case and dismissed himself after almost 4 years. I was shocked. What to do now? I started making phone calls for SSD Attorneys here explaining my case. Not knowing many people let alone any attorney's here, it was a hard find. I contacted attorney's via a Google search. I met with a few, but was either told they did not feel my case was winnable or I just flat out did not like them. Then I met Leonard. I spent about 2 hours in his office in our 1st meeting. He was very likable and knowledgeable. My new hearing was coming up soon and I needed a lawyer, but I was not going to settle for anyone. My future was hanging in the balance. Leonard made me feel welcome and explained to me that this was not going to be easy and we had our work cut out for both of us. His honesty and truthfulness helped with my decision. I felt comfortable and hired Leonard. Many meetings later and tons of paperwork coming in from Wisconsin, our hearing date was set. It may have been a bit overwhelming for Leonard, but he never complained. Always reminding me, this is going to be difficult Joe. I liked that about him. He always gave me a feeling that he knew more then he was letting onto. Me, I was helping with getting things ordered from Wisconsin and we both settled in for a long hearing. I was hopeful having all our paper work in order as well as all the doctors notes. With Leonard beside me, I knew we had a good case. A winnable case! Long story short, We Won That Hearing! We won that hearing on Jan 15,2015. Leonard never gave up, nor did I. To Leonard, should you read this, Thank you sir. To anyone reading this review, should you ever need an attorney who will fight for you, give this man a chance. He will not disappoint you.

After been on medical leave for quite a few months, having denied every single proposed treatment for my injury by the workers compensation administrators I finally decided to hire a work comp attorney, I did my homework looking at different law firms, some advertised on TV and others referred to me by people I knew and after an exhaustive search I decided to give my business to Mr Almodovar, he walked me thru the process getting a good doctor to treat my injury and made me feel comfortable knowing I was in the best hands, he is still handling my case which is not over yet but at least I have the confidence that he's handling my case the best possible way, I am really happy so far with his performance, he's very assertive and trust him deeply, his staff is very courteous and very good assisting me every time I need it, sometimes is hard to get a hold of him cause he's very busy but his staff keeps on top of everything!

He told me what he would do for me but would also support any decision about my case, even if he didn't feel it was the right course of action. He was there for me as his Client. I had complete access to him through emails, phone calls, etc. Sean listen to me offer suggestions. He gave me the stress relief I needed so I only had to work through him. After each time that I needed his help, he was there. When he was unavailable he made sure he had some there to help assist me that this made it worry-free.

We hired Sean after an on the job injury for my husband. We were originally going it alone because I had a little background in Worker's Comp, so I knew enough to know how things worked. BUT... it became very clear that we were not being treated fairly, so we asked around for an attorney. Sean came HIGHLY recommended and there was a good reason for that. Sean was AMAZING!!!! He was straight forward throughout the whole process!!! Quick to respond and answer our questions. VERY knowledgeable and explained the whole process well. And could see things coming before they even happened. He helped us get everything that we should have gotten. By calling him and hiring him, my stress levels with dealing with this claim went away and all went on him. I was so grateful for that!!!

Prior to my move to SC, I knew I had to find an attorney to represent me after relocating. I knew no one and took a chance using AVVO's website and sent an email off to Ms. Poe which provided my first surprise when I received a response within an hour acknowledging my inquiry and informing me that she was on vacation. Being the fastest response ever from an attorney, I chose to wait until she returned and I was settled to request a consultation. I recontacted her a week after settling in and realized I had a deadline approaching and hoped that a meeting to be arranged quickly to compensate for my failure to contact her earlier. I sent an email off to her and was surprised to see I had a voicemail from Keith her associate within the hour. I returned the call hoping not to sound anxious regarding my time constraints and Keith without being asked immediately offered me several times to meet in addition to offering a choice of offices that would be most convenient to my location. With little familiarity to the area he assisted me in choosing the location and I failed to make a note of the zip code. I called Keith since I was not able to find their office only to learn I was not even the right town. Before I could share my embarrassment along with the fact that a rescheduled appointment could eliminate my chances of meeting the hard deadline facing me. He had me on my way to their other office 30 minutes away and assured me not to worry and meet as planned. I was relieved and surprised by how gracious he was. I My wife and I were met by Ms. Poe and she would not allow us to be concerned about my mistake altering the time that was scheduled on our behalf. We were amazed by how welcome we felt along with providing all the time necessary to obtain all the necessary information, provide clarity about the process and insured all our questions were answered. In addition to the case issues she provided valuable information regarding some off topic questions we had concerning our move and the area. Referring to the title, I had never nor would I been able to describe a meeting with an attorney as being delightful. She inspired my confidence with her knowledge, professionalism and clarity in providing realistic expectations based on her knowledge of the local political arena that is almost always the most difficult to navigate. In addition to delightful, my wife and I left knowing we had hired an attorney that is not only the best in her field but someone that we are excited to have representing us as well as the added bonus of having met a person we can completely trust.

Dennis Beemer is my mother's attorney. I'm her power of attorney. At 81 years of age, she slipped in a puddle of water while on the job as a bookkeeper at one of her TWO little part-time jobs. She hit her head and broke her hip causing catastrophic loss of independence and physical and mental abilities. My mother had worked over a half of a century living solely independently. Because workmen's comp attorneys are so heavily governed by the state on what they can and can NOT charge for their representation, my mother (due only to her age) really didn't "pencil out" for most attorneys' bottom line. Dennis, though, upon hearing Mom's story, took the case simply "because it's the right thing to do". He makes next to nothing to represent her. But his compassion and competence are as if she's a million-dollar client. I highly recommend this sharp-as-a-tack attorney who once worked for LnI and is therefore intimately knowledgeable on the games this governmental insurance agency can play with truly injured, and deserving, workers.

Mr Morlok was a fantastic lawyer. Before any court date, we sat down and discussed the case at hand. His opinions, advice, and recommendations were excellent. After our first court date, he insisted we kept in contact, and met in person a few more times to make sure things get handled correctly. In our meetings, we went over everything more than once to make sure we were on the same page with the best direction to be going headed into court. Mr Morlok was extremely professional and explained every detail as many times as needed to make sure I understood what was going to happen while sitting on trail. We both went over my testimony over the phone when I wasent availiable, and during meetings. Very flexible hours to acme date my work schedule. At our last court date, I didn't have to do anything except show up, he took care of everything from start to finish flawlessly. I would recommend William Morlok to any individual seeking a lawyer.

Bill is a strong advocate, and it is clear that he puts his clients’ needs first: he is a good teacher, always ensuring we understand the process; a detailed communicator, continually keeping us informed; and a skillful negotiator, confidently putting our minds at ease. I highly recommend Mr. Morlok as a lawyer and cannot thank him enough for his years of advice and hard work on our behalf.

Bill was a consummate professional in my dealings with him on a recent legal matter. Prompt, attentive, and he clearly enjoys what he does! Most of all, I often find lawyers to be intimidating and stern, but Bill was easy to speak with and very much a people person, which goes a long way toward making the stress and complexity of sorting out a legal issue that much easier to handle. I would not hesitate to reach out to him again if I ever needed additional assistance from a legal professional.

Being hurt severely in an automobile accident where I was hit very hard from behind impacted my life more than I ever would have thought. My case, being that I was hit during working hours, was anything be cut and dry. Between Joe and Noreen, and the rest of his staff, I never once had to stress a single detail regarding my job, my medical bills, and this gave me the opportunity to focus on recovery. I would never hesitate to recommend, and of course use Joseph DeRita again, should the need arise for representation. I trust him, and his firm completely.

Joe DeRita is good at what he does, in fact, he is very good. He is exceptionally competent in the Personal Injury and Workers Compensation arena. Joe takes a real interest in his clients; he knows how to navigate the system, and he keeps his clients informed. Within a very short time of Joe’s handling my case, he was able to have my Workers Comp benefits re-instated at 100% and is currently negotiating a lump sum settlement. I feel very fortunate to have found the right person to represent me. With litigation, you only get one opportunity to do it right – so do it right the first time and hire the expert - hire Joe DeRita.

Joe is a hard working lawyer who cares about you as a person not just another case in his files. He keeps you informed at all times and makes sure that your priorities are met. I highly recommend Joe and his team to take over any case. Joe also took a case on for my husband a few years back and worked hard to settle in a timely matter. Mine and my husbands cases did not drag on for years and years which was nice. Mostly Joe treats you like he would like to be treated which makes you feel more comfortable and confident during all procedures.

I have hired Omar Ochoa for my workers comp. claim. I would rate him 10 stars if I could. He is an attorney who interacts with his clients. Him and his assistant (Kevin) are very professional, caring, and understands what you are going through. I have gone through Omar Ochoa in the past and am very impressed by his professionalism. I will not go through another workers comp. attorney. I very highly recommend this attorney.

I was very lucky to have Mr. Ochoa represent me on my workers compensation claim. Unlike other attorneys I have dealt with in the past, Mr. Ochoa made himself available to answer all my questions and explained to me the process of workers compensation at every stage of my case. Even though the insurance company had denied my claim he believe in me and took my case to trial and won. After trial, he got me very good settlement that helped me get back on my feet.

Through recommendations, I have chosen to go with Serob and boy, that was the best decision my wife and I made after we suffered injuries from getting rear ended. From the 1st day until now, which we are almost at the finish line, he has been thorough and honest with us. Nothing was scripted and no pressure. Serob also is handling a separate lawsuit for my family members as well and have been anything else but professional. Thank you Serob and co! Will definitely 100% recommend Serob Alajanyan for any personal injury accidents and everything else he specializes in.

The first time I spoke to Samuel Dagan I felt at ease and comfortable. The entire team at this firm was responsive and professional which was much appreciated. Everything that Samuel predicted would happen in my Workman's Comp case came true. He was able to find medical professionals to help me as well as negotiate a settlement that came much sooner than I expected. He assured me many times and was able to ease my anxiety and stress in my difficult situation. Listen to him because he was right on in my case.

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.
