5 star lawyer

Workers compensation can be a very screwy field and its important to find an attorney that actually cares what they are doing, Ronald Calhoon did a great job for me, I am very satisfied. Work injuries are devastating but getting a good lawyer is a big part of dealing with the insurance company. If you need assistance with the workers compensation system I would highly recommend Calhoon & Kaminsky P.C.

Knowledgeable, reassuring

On the first consultation Ron spelled out exactly how my workmans comp case would play out. He was correct about everything, right down to the month it would be resolved. Opposing lawyers dragged their feet and made mistakes. Mr. Calhouns' staff corrected everything in a timely manner.

one very satisfied client

Ron takes his job very serious and he strives to do the best for his clients. I have used Ron twice as my attorney and he has been sucessful both times. The first time I was able to get me the treatment I deserved so I could return to work. The second time I was not able to meet the requirements set by my employer and I was not able to return to work so Ron was successful at negotiateing a settlement with my employer and their insurance company. I was very happy an have been able to move on with my life. THANK YOU VERY MUCH RON.

Wonderful lawyer, attorneys and employees. HUGE help!

Ron is incredible, reliable, quick to return any/all means of communication, thoughtful and a truly genuine person. His company is always there for you as well as his employees. They all have you're best interest and Ron is truly compassionate in your best interest. I came to run as a referral to a gentleman who was dealing with a similar situation, simply in hopes for answers to questions I had, that neither my company nor workers comp were answering. Here I am, a 26 yr old, injurieD body part, student loan debt and no where to really turn and extremely frustrated. Ron turned around my whole life, he truly did. He excelled in answering all of my questions and beyond that, beyond what I ever thought would even happen. Life went from pretty depressing to soon to be student loan free. Settled. And a cushion for my future. All I can say about Ron, is he's a truly caring individual, who excels above and beyond at his job. I couldn't thank or apprecite him enough!

5 star attorney

I was injured at work and really needed help navigating through the worker's comp process. Mr. Calhoun and his team were excellent and will guide you every step of the way. Communication with him and his staff is outstanding. You never have to wait days for an answer; he responds very promptly. His office is fully automated so I kept everything on my computer minimizing the amount of paperwork. He deserves 5 stars and I would highly recommend him and his team to any injured worker.

Workers comp case? you need Ron

I made a mistake by not reporting my injury immediately, and workers comp laws in Pa. can be difficult to navigate-especially when prominent companies with large, well funded insurers are behind them, ready and willing to take advantage of even the most innocent, well meaning mistake. Ron took my case immediately (recommended to me by a friend/coworker) and contacted me during his vacation. He spent as much time as was needed to go through the details and went to work. The stress I was feeling was almost instantly relieved. Ron, and the excellent staff he has working for him, deftly navigated the comp laws that are seemingly written in favor of the employer. He clearly laid out my options, suggested courses of action, and saw to it that every detail was handled promptly, with precise professionalism. I simply could not have managed a successful outcome were it not for his assistance. Not once during the entire process, about 1 year from start to finish, did Ron and his staff cause me to have second thoughts. I absolutely recommend him.

Mr. Calhoon was very good at answering my questions in a very professional and timely manner. He made sure I knew what my options were, with my workers compensation case. He is very easy to talk to and cares about his clients. I would recommend him to anyone that his a W.C. issue.

Posted by Robert | April 6, 2016

Made it easy

From first phone call he was on top of it till the end.He did what he said he would do and also nailed the time line he gave me.I just wished i would have went to him first.I wasted 2 years with another lawyer that just wanted to sit and wait . Wish i could use him for everything!

WC Attorney Review

I had selected Ron Calhoon's practice based upon reviews submitted by previous clients. While the Harrisburg/York area offered numerous attorneys and practices, Ron Calhoon consistently received high marks by clients. My case involved forced retirement as a result of my injury so it was more complex than any others. My forced early retirement cost me a significant loss of anticipated receipts that would have resulted had I been allowed to continue to my full retirement date. With Ron's assistance I was able to recover all of that.

The Best in NEPA for worker's comp.

It was good to have the right guy in my corner. He took charge of the whole situation and every one I had to deal with knew who he was and didn't play games with me. We settled for an amount that was acceptable and he made sure it arrived in a timely manner. If you need a worker's comp lawyer this is the man you want backing you up.

Calhoon and Associates

Mr. Calhoon was very professional and thorough in the handling of my claim. He found some inconsistencies within my case and filed the necessary documents immediately. I would definitely recommend Mr. Calhoon in any workers compensation case.

Posted by Sherry | February 28, 2016

He is aggressive!

Ron Calhoon and his team are always reachable up to 12am ea day! His team doesn't miss a detail, ever! ! Ron comes from a family (father) who was always a participant w the union laws. Physicians know him and what he needs to have documented ! You truly cannot be in better hands when it comes to ur lively hood/ well being. I worked at a law firm prior to UPS,, they would never take calls. He called on a Mionday evening, 9pm, typing up my resignation from his kitchen. You won't find a more devoted Attorney to ensure you re well taken care of, and provide genuine piece of mind!!

Worker's Comp.

I was always kept up to date with what was going on with my case. If I had any questions I would send an email...and I would get a response back within hours. Very professional and clearly had what was in the best interest of me always first.

Police Officer very happy with Calhoon & Associates

If you’re looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, honest, and goes after what is right for you, call Ron Calhoon. Any issue that came about, Ron knew exactly what to do. Being on Workers' Comp was stressful, I thought I could handle myself ( I was wrong ). I was provided Ron name, he is a great attorney who has a great staff behind him!

Attorney Calhoon

I was told about Attorney Calhoon by a few people. Believe me when I tell you, he is the best that I have ever contacted. He jumped right on the case and didn't let up. At first I contacted Metzger Wickersham, what a mistake that was. They sat on my case for 2 years and did nothing. When I contacted Mr. Calhoon, he immediately started working on it. Within a month or so, we had our first hearing with Workman's Comp. He stuck right with the case and within a few short months, we went to settlement. Not what he or I wanted, but if Metzger Wickersham would not have just sat idle, we probably could have negotiated for a much bigger settlement. Due to the fact that I reached Medicare age, we had to take what we could get. Ron is a very intelligent lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone who is having a problem with Workers Compensation. As a matter of fact, I recommended my daughter call him because of her problem. I thank you and your staff, from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for me.

A man of his word.

Simetimes people need help just like in my case. Ronald handled every little detail with his knowledge of law. Ronald and associates kept me informed from day one and made sure things went well. I can honestly say I made the right choice on calling him to represent me. Never would of thought that getting hurt on the job would be a burden, but Ronald took that burden away. Ronald in person looks just like an average blue collar man, easy going and laid back look. After you talk several minutes you sense his knowledge, his determination, his presence. Ronald is one of the best I've ever came across.
