An honest attorney for someone who has no knowledge about worker’s compensation

I suffered a knee injury at work 4/2018. Over a period of months my knee weakened & I was told by my doctor, I needed a replacement. My employer disagreed. I had no idea on how worker’s compensation worked. I sent the same email to 7 attorneys. Only one responded-Jeff. My email was full of dates & ...names of who was told what & when. It also contained my employers responses. Jeff said the detail & amount of information in my initial email made my case. Jeff walked me through the process. After the first hearing establishing my case, my employer denied my claim. Jeff told me exactly how to respond & what to fill out. He was caring & patient. He returned calls & responded quickly to email. He Took time to call & explain what forms were coming in the mail & what they meant. It took a couple hearings & an IME to authorize my claim & get my knee replaced. Jeff was there the entire time. He was patient & explained everything along the way. I will tell everyone who needs a worker’s compensation attorney to call Jeff. He is just a nice, humble & honest guy. He made this ordeal far less stressful & easier to understand. In short, he’s awesome. If you’re new to the system & need a beacon, let Jeff be that light.

Best lawyer for Workers comp !

The insurance company for my workers comp always tried to find a way to NOT pay me for the benefits I was entitled to. Jeff and his team did an ABSOLUTELY AWESOME job in finally after 2 years a settlement was reached, which I am very happy with. They were always available by the phone, at times I wo...uld call them weekly for issues needing their attention.

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.
