Worker’s Compensation Case

We hired Ben Grant about 1 year after my injury at work and unsuccessful surgery left me at the mercy of my employer and insurance company. My injuries left me unable to perform work functions and limited my driving capability. Our initial consultation with Ben Grant was pleasant and informative.... He explained my legal options and why I needed legal counsel as my employer was not being as kind and helpful as 1 year ago. My relationship with Ben Grant lasted almost 2 years as I went through many Doctors visits, some employer hassles, then eventual negotiations for a settlement. Throughout the process Ben and his paralegal were always available to answer any question or concern I had. I am glad the process ended and happy to recommend Ben Grant for any worker’s compensation issues you might have.

Workers Compensation

This was my first time having to seek professional advice and support. When I met Ben I was nervous however he was very easy to talk too and very professional. Ben worked very hard for me, with my case dragging on for seven years he helped me through 5 back surgeries and any issues that came up with... the workers comp insurance he took care of this for me. He helped me get the best settlement for my case. I would strongly recommend Ben Grant to anyone for help with dealing with the workers compensation insurance companies.

MEMIC Settlement

I was a client of Attorney Ben Grant a year ago. I am a medical professional and he helped me settle a long-standing workers compensation claim. Ben was professional and supportive. He navigated the workers compensation system efficiently. His fees were reasonable. His Legal Assistant Heather was ex...tremely helpful and proficient throughout the process, always with a supportive word. I would highly recommend Mr Grant's legal services.

Worker’s compensation case

My WC case was complicated, I woke up from a coma and I am happy that Ben was hired for me through power of attorney ! Ben knows the law and the system and he will make sure you get treated fairly ! His office is not a big fancy place ,it is down to earth and the staff are friendly and really ...helpful , calls or emails are always returned promptly ! Ben and Heather made a terrible time in my life a lot less stressful and made life with a disability financially worry free .
