Another suggested way to communicate with your attorney is by email. If you have questions regarding your case a quick email can give you a good idea of how in tune your attorney is with your case.

You have been give some good advise above, at this point of your case as you move into settlement negotiations a seasoned attorney will be invaluable to getting a satisfactory settlement. If you are not currently represented you should consider hiring an attorney to guide you through the process.

It sounds like you would be placing a big bet on obama care being available to you for your prior workers compensation injury.
