This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A.J. is my hero !!

I went through two lawyers before I met A.J. The other two lawyers did nothing for me and told me that I did not have a case. I met with A.J. and he immediately went to work for me. He developed my case in a quick manner. We went before the Judge and he was great. He was so professional and knew exac...tly what to do where the other lawyers did not. A.J. took my case to a settlement conference. He got me an excellent settlement. He was also able to help me with my Social Security case. I am very thankful for he has done for me. If you need a workers' comp lawyer in Pa., then A.J. is your man!!

Don't look anywhere else.

I highly recommend A.J. Palutis as a workers' compensation attorney. He is true to his word. A.J. and his assistant provided excellent service. They explained everything to me and put me at ease. A.J. is very personable and explains the system in language that you will understand. He negotiated a fan...tastic settlement for me in record time. I could not have been more pleased with his representation. A.J. really has the experience. You seriously should not look for anyone else but A.J. for your Pa. Workers' Compensation lawyer.

Very Experienced , Knowledgeable and Caring

I was so grateful to have an attorney that provided me the knowledge to guide me through the process of Workers’ Compensation. A.J. was always there for me and always answered my texts ( yes he gives you his cell number) and phone calls no matter what the time of day. Most importantly, A.J. really c...ares about me. He was primarily concerned about my health. He got me the most favorable result that I could possibly imagine. I would recommend anyone to A.J. that needs a Pa. Workers’ Comp lawyer.

Highly Recommended Pa. Workers' Compensation Lawyer

A.J. was my workers' compensation attorney. I never experienced a work injury before. I had bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and operations on both my wrists. My employer denied my claim. A.J. took my case and he was terrific. He is kind ,courteous and understands the struggle of the injured worker c...aught up in the system. He was able to set forth my case and I received an excellent settlement in a very short amount of time. He always put my health first and that was so important to me. His staff is wonderful and always made me feel comfortable and confident.I strongly recommend to anyone that you use A.J. Palutis as your Workers' Compensation lawyer.

Best Workers' Comp Lawyer

AJ was the best lawyer I could ever hope for to handle my Pa Workers' Comp claim. He has the experience and knows the law inside and out. He is extremly nice and patient. He answers all your questions. He is never to busy to take a call or text. I highly recommend AJ.
