Posted by Rhonald | August 30, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Workers Compensation

She is family

I had gotten injured at work and thought that my employer was looking out for my best interests. After my first surgery I received a letter from the employers insurance that appeared to look like a statement of benefits but at the bottom was some writing in small print stating they (employer and ins...urance company will not be taking responsibility for the injury. I thought mostly nothing of it, until I mentioned it to my sister who recommended I see Shelagh. Admittingly I was bit nervous, I never thought I would be in a position were I would have to seek out representation. Shelagh and I met up and she read through my documents. Immediately one stood out among the others (the very same one that caused me some concern ). She explained exactly what that paper meant and how it could affect me. Shelagh explains the process step by step, told me what I should expect going forward and most importantly she is always communicating with updates even just to see how I'm feeling. When speaking with her you get the sense of caring, similar to how you would with a family member, because she really cares and has your best interest at heart.
