Great Work

Jane is a great lawyer and helped me tremendously on my case. I highly recommend her as a lawyer but more so as a caring professional. Thank you.

Jane Eden is outstanding!

A mishap at work caused a painful knee injury. It wasn't long after that, I needed to seek counsel. My coworkers recommended Jane Eden, at Eden/Rafferty law firm. From our first meeting, I knew Jane was the right person to handle my case. I gave her the details that led to the injury, and she advised... me what to do, every step of the way. There were many occasions where I had questions, and she always put me at ease with her advice. If she was busy with another client, she would get back to me the as soon as she could. My entire experience with Jane has been incredible. Talking with her is a pleasure, akin to conversing with your best friend. I followed her advice, and always had a positive result. If you're seeking an attorney for workers comp, Jane Eden is the person to hire, she has your best interest at heart. Thank you, Jane, and everyone at Eden/Rafferty, I'm forever grateful!

I was temporarily disabled from an 18 year career and was told by medical professionals I could no longer be in the industry. I did not know where to turn. But I found Jane Eden and she was able to help me through every aspect of this horribly rough time. From getting me back into physical therapy... to making sure workman's comp was doing what it should. I have and will recommend Jane Eden. Not sure I would have made it through without her.

Jane Eden review

My experience with the law firm of Eden and Rafferty was wonderful. They were recommended to me by a friend. I called and got an appointment right away. I first met with Jane Eden and was impressed with her friendliness and attention , I knew I was in good hands. Throughout my case calls I made were ...promptly answered and I was always kept well informed. In the end the outcome was more than I expected and settled quickly. Talking with Jane was like talking to a friend, she is a caring likeable person and a very competent lawyer. I will always be grateful to her.

Jane Eden can do what nobody else can.

I fell on my knee at work and tore my meniscus. Days later, I fell again at home after knee gave out and received a back injury. Workman's Comp told me they are only reliable for knee injury, that there is no way they are covering my back injury from the fall at home. My case was very complicated due... to multiple injuries received at work and home. Jane came highly recommended. Jane took charge with such ease and was able to connect my injuries to my WC case. It was a grueling 2 years for me to deal with my injuries and dwelling in self-pity and bitterness. Jane dealt with my ups and downs and saw the worst side of me. Many times I just wanted to give up and there was a time I did throw in the towel. Having Jane on my side was not something she would allow or accept. She knew when to give me space and when she did call she knew exactly what to say to you. She played the roles of a psychiatrist, mother, sister and friend. She treated me with such respect and dignity and compassion. As the most kind hearted person she is, she is absolutely relentless. She is well respected in the court. She will fight for everything you deserve and then some. A little under 2 years and having a complicated case and with Jane's skills and talent that comes naturally to her, we settled for such a very generous and substantial amount. **I started to apply for disability during this WC case. With my crazy state of mind I was in, I tried throwing in the towel on this case too. After seeing Jane in action with my WC case and her having the power to touch anything and turns to gold, I'm back to applying. I am now so calm because I have so much confidence that Jane got this too.
