Went Above and Beyond

Ben worked on my Workers Comp case for me. My claim was complicated, and involved multiple dates of injury which caused me a ton of confusion when speaking with the insurance adjusters. I consider myself an organized person when it comes to records and paperwork, but it all got too overwhelming event...ually. That's where Ben and his paralegal, Heather, came in. They handled all the correspondence with adjusters, made sure I stayed on track with appointments and requesting medical records. Ben always explained things in a way that helped me understand, and I truly believe he had my best interest in mind every step of the way.

Workmen's Compensation Claim

I have worked with Mr. Grant and his associates for 9 years. They provided me with the utmost integrity and professionalism one ask for. He and his paralegal were diligent in every angle of my case and left no detail overlooked. The paralegal that works alongside Mr. Grant also exceeded my expec...tations. She was thorough, kept me well informed as to where things progressed and as my case moved forward. She also brought a personal level which was refreshing and made me feel as though they had a different level of ownership in my case and that I wasn't just another client coming through their firm. Mr Grant and his firm surpassed his impeccable reputation. I could not have been more pleased with the outcome of our case.

Worker's compensation case

Ben helped me resolve a very long disputed workers comp case. He and his staff always kept me up to date on where my claim stood. Ben always answered my questions in a way I understood exactly what was going on. He was always willing to meet with me in a sit down one to one to discuss my claim, and ...to explain any issues I had. Ben and Heather always returned my calls or emails, often within minutes. He is very easy to talk with and listens to your side of things whether relevant or not. You feel like you are being heard.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
