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.

This is the team you want on your side - Hand Down !!!!

I was injured on the job in 2017, I didn't seek out legal advice until I was told to return to work against my surgeons advise or I would be terminated. The day I received that letter from my employer, I called Jane Edan's office and she met with me that day. I met with Jane and Attorney David Maille.... They both were very personable, friendly, knowledgable and comforting. I received a notice in the mail on a Tuesday, requiring me to return to work the next day or I would be considered abandoning my job and would be terminated. David Maille was assigned to my case. He drafted a letter to my employer while I was in the office, explaining to my employer I was unable to return to work at this time and sent them a copy of my surgeons note stating the same. It was a very trying time for me & my family, thinking I may be terminated after 25 years working for this company as a supervisor because I was injured. In my opinion the Worker Comp process is broken, They delay medical treatments & play games with the injured employees. I can't say enough good about how well David handled my case. If I had a question or concern, it was addressed right away. The communication from their office was like nothing I've ever seen before. Phone calls were returned same day. If David was unavailable, I would receive a call from Jane or their paralegal Linda. I never felt like I was alone. David settled my case that exceeded my expentations by far. He went above and beyond making himself available to me at times that I wouldn't expect him to be available, but he was. I can't say enough possitive things about Jane & David and I would refer them without reservations to anyone in need of representation for WC. If you need an attorney to go up against the big WC insurance companies, David is the professional pit bull you'll need. David, Thank You for everything you have done for me and my family. Warmest Regards, Brad

Excellent

We hired Attorney Jane Eden. With a personal touch and all the knowledge you could ever need, Jane worked at getting the case reviewed, resolved, and finalized with a professional and friendly manor. We cannot say enough about how great we were treated. Never a question as she made sure we had all... the information we needed at any time and quick to respond with extreme attention to detail. We will only think of this practice if we ever need anything again and will refer any family and friends to her as we were shown great respect and a more than willing attitude to get the job done. Thank you so much Jane.

If You're Looking for the Absolute Best WC/SSDI in the Business...LOOK NO FURTHER!!!

I hired Attorney Jane Eden after the lawyer I had representing me at that time was retiring and referred me to her. I was suffering from a horrible back injury that I suffered at work. So, I did my homework and found out that Attorney Eden was not only qualified to represent me, I was, in fact, extre...mely lucky to have found her. Each of her qualifications were remarkable! I soon found that many of the standards and guidelines which are followed by Massachusetts Law, Attorney Eden was on most of the committees that actually wrote those guidelines!!! I was completely in awe and KNEW that I was in the best hands possible. Once I signed on with Attorney Eden, we sat down for an initial consultation, she thoroughly explained the entire process to me, answered questions that I had and then she created my profile. Then, she and her team went to work. (and work they did!) Within a very short time, I was receiving weekly WC checks to help me with living expenses, bills, etc... I cannot begin to tell you how easy Attorney Eden made this process seem. I would ask her, "Attorney Eden, is there anything that I can do to assist you?" Her standard reply was always, "Your job is rest and most importantly...recovery!" Many of you reading this already know that insurance companies are notorious for not wanting to pay out claims or approve anything. Well, with Jane in my corner I am happy to report that each of my claims has met with complete success. That's not to say it wasn't a battle. We encountered many of those, but ultimately Jane represented my interests successfully at each and every turn. I quite simply cannot say enough great things about Attorney Eden... She's professional, kind, extremely hard-working, knowledgeable, she makes herself available whenever I had questions, and she is a Rottweiler in the court room. Tell me? What more could anyone ask for in an Attorney. And as a subsequent footnote, Jane also represented me in my SSDI claim and she won that for me, too! Without Jane Eden, I really don't know where my life would be today. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Jane Eden in any of your Worker's Comp and/or SSDI claims and issues. In my humble opinion, there is NO BETTER!!! Jane... thank you for everything you and your team did for me. This is one client who is ever so appreciative!
