Meghan Alyssa Woods

Attorney Meghan Woods took my workman’s comp case, many months after I’d gotten another Attorney from a firm that is constantly advertising on radio and t.v. and of which I figured had to know what they were doing. It became evident to me that the first Firm and their lawyer were totally ineffectual ...and grossly mishandling my case after 6 months, to the extent they let an important Deposition languish until the respondent filed for discontinuation- because I had ignored a ‘notice of Deposition’ which was part two of a Deposition which began 2 months earlier. The first firm ignored the notice almost costing me the case by the time I received the notice from Worker’s Comp, with days to spare and all because the first Attorney and Firm did not act! My particular case was an incredibly hard case. My employer, despite nearly two decades of my being a diligent, dependable hard worker- rewarding me every single year with written ‘top-notch’ reviews and raises- threw me under the bus after forcing me to do a work order that was physically impossible, and despite my admonition that I ‘did not need to get injured!’ The result? I was injured and am now permanently disabled. Over the next two years and 5 months and thats without counting the initial 6 months with the first Attorney & Firm, Attorney Meghan Woods and Firm never gave up on me or my case! She and her Firm expertly out maneuvered the opposition representing my former employer, who I might add appeared to be waiting for my demise- thus making them ‘self-absolved’ financially-of my severe and permanent injury until finally a trial was requested by our side, and after many months a date was set. Well, just a little over a week before trial I received a call from Attorney Woods with a ‘Settlement Offer’.. a sizable 6 figure sum which Attorney Woods spent the next week negotiating and renegotiating to obtain a fair figure for me to consider, and which I accepted. I want to note that I spent countless hours on-line studying every aspect of Worker’s Comp per the State of Connecticut and it became apparent that Law Firm’s and Attorney’s who handle Workman’s Comp cases… are virtually some of the hardest working Attorneys in the Industry! And I discovered that my countless hours of reading, studying and saving everything I could find- on my computer to study further- meant very little as sometimes- ‘nothing is what it seems in Worker’s Comp!’ Don’t try to play Attorney. They know what they’re doing. Attorney Meghan Wood’s and the Firm were incredibly responsive, always patient with all my questions, which I occasionally sent via e-mail and unlike the first Firm, treated me like my case totally mattered and was never ‘put on the back burner!’ Attorney Wood’s has a great personality, is sharp as can be, and most importantly…. While there are no guarantee’s of a case being won or settled, the Attorney/Firm that represents you is the most important aspect in a Worker’s Comp case, especially when they are very serious and complicated cases like mine! Before hiring Attorney Woods and her Firm, I’d met with other Firm’s and Lawyers who told me out right that I had a ‘very tough case’ ( that I believe they didn’t want to take on! ) If there was a 100 Star rating for any reviews, I would give Attorney Woods, Vargas & Chapman & all staff a 100++!
