Outstanding!

“For the first time in my 60 years, I finally experienced what it is like to have legal representation that I absolutely knew and felt were unequivocally advocating in my best interest! From our initial consultation on a difficult worker’s comp case, to a successful resolution that spanned several y...ears, Attorney Grauel and his outstanding paralegal Diane were in my corner every step of the way. They fully explained the laws that govern workers comp in NH, and how those laws would and did apply to my case. The calm guidance and advice without all the over-hype allowed me to make informed decisions without feeling pressured. In addition to getting my workers comp case settled, Doug and Diane also took an active role while assisting me to clear all the hurdles required to secure and receive Social Security disability benefits, an effort for which I cannot thank them enough!” I you have a worker’s comp case you absolutely need to be represented, and I highly recommend the Grauel Law Office! Sincerely, Dave

Knowledgable and caring lawyer

I had injuries at work, and it can be intimidating to deal with your employer and the workers comp carrier. Doug explained the law clearly, answered all my questions, and he fought for my rights under the wc laws, which I did not know. He is very professional and down to earth, he listens to you and ...cares about your situation. Then he forms a plan to ensure your rights are respected and will fight for you. I thank God I found Doug, after suffering injuries at work and the workers comp carrier started hassling me, Doug fought for me all the way. His paralegal Diane is awesome, and I am grateful and very thankful I had them on my side. Anyone having trouble with workers comp after being injured at work should call Doug for a consultation!

"I first noticed Doug through an email group for plaintiff's lawyers that I follow. His contributions show that he's one of a handful of gurus in the workers compensation field. But besides having a sharp legal mind, a client I referred to him said that he was a pleasure to work with. I hope to refer more cases to him in the future."
