Recomendation

I retained Ben for a Workmans comp case. He and his staff were very helpful, informative and diligent in the handling of my claim. If I ever had a question or problem, it was answered or handled promptly and professionally. I would use their services again if needed and recommend them to anyone fin...ding themselves in the need of their specialties.

Settlement for my Workers compensation case

I had been getting workers comp. for five years from an insurance company with a very bad payment history who kept asking me to settle my claim. Called Joe Bornstien and they referred me to Ben Grant. Ben took on my case and resolved it with a very good settlement which was actually more than I expec...ted. It's good to get the right attorney for the job. Ben was definately a good call. I highly recommend Ben for a workers comp. claim.

My 2 year worker’s compensation claim experience

I had injured both shoulders at my job and it was just after my surgery on my right shoulder when I had decided to hire Ben . I was concerned that the insurance company was going to try and dispute the liability of my injuries. From the first conference call I had with Ben he assured me that he would... be able to help me. I suffer from extreme anxiety and it was just nice to know that I didn’t have to worry about the legal side to my claim. He was always very prompt in letting me know anything to do with my claim. He was able to get me an extra 100$ a week on my workers comp check that I would have never received if I didn’t hire Ben . Very professional in every aspect of his obligations as a lawyer. He also has an extremely helpful assistant so even if I was unable to talk to Ben I always knew that Heather would help me. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about my experience using Ben Grant and would not hesitate to refer anyone to him.
