After I sustained a back injury at work in 2011 I was referred to your practice by a friend. Throughout the process your office responded to my calls with expert advice. You have advocated on my behalf for many years. The Workman’s Comp board hearings can be very intimidating to folks not in the field. I appreciate you helping me navigate the process and will certainly recommend your practice in the future.
The most qualified Workers’ Compensation attorney in WNY,
Kathryn (Kate) Kirsch, is without a single doubt, the most consummate professional I’ve ever worked with. I was in the legal profession for over 25 years. Unfortunately, I suffered a fall and traumatic brain injury in 2016 requiring ER brain surgery. I called Kate and she immediately went into action on my behalf. My claim was complex and the carrier tried to controvert every aspect of my claim from the beginning. Kate fought voraciously on my behalf. She was thoroughly prepared. We won. They appealed. Of course. We won. Kate has integrity like no other. You have the confidence you need in what is a very difficult time in your life. Kate’s entire office fights for you as well. They are all supremely qualified and always put you at ease. After a year of valiant and unwavering persistence, Kate got me a settlement of my claim. I am so extremely satisfied with Kate’s representation and would not hesitate for one second to highly recommend Kate to anyone. Recall when I said earlier that I was in the legal profession? It was in the personal injury and workers’ compensation field of law, so I know many comp attorneys. When I was personally injured during the course of employment, I went to Kathryn M. Kirsch, Esq. She is unequivocally the most qualified workers’ compensation attorney in WNY today. She solely represents claimants and she will fight for you from the beginning to the very end. If you are injured at work, your first and last call should be the law office of Kathryn M. Kirsch.

I do not believe you will find any better - she is great
Ms. Kirsch is a strong advocate and not afraid to take on any opposing lawyer or convince any judge to help her clients.. She is smart, really well prepared, and tenacious - and really quick on her feet when battling in the court. The best characteristic she demonstrates is her true passion for helping an injured worker to be compensated fairly to give relief to daily living.

Whitchurch
Having known Kate for many years, when I needed some legal help, she was the first and only person I contacted. As expected, she was entirely professional and exhibited an exceedingly high degree of expertise and legal knowledge. The results obtained were entirely satisfactory and indeed, exceeded my expectations.
I would not hesitate to hire Kate again. She has my unqualified recommendation.

Best possible choice.
In the Western New York area, Kathryn Kirsch was hands down the best choice to represent my workers compensation claim. From day one, her passion and fearless attitude in all aspects of my case was evident. An extra plus was her staff, they are always friendly, capable and willing to help in any way they can. If you need a workers comp. attorney around Buffalo, she is truly the only place to turn.
