Job well done

Ron was very informative and was able to get me a fair settlement. He was straight forward and honest about my case and what I was able to ask for as far as compensation. He was also able to speed things up by filing a penalty petition when the insurance company failed to send payment on time. Wou...ld highly recommend. Thank you for a job well done. My family and I appreciate your help in getting this case resolved.

The place to go, the second you get placed on workers comp!

I had never been I jured at work in my twenty seven year work history. When I was, I had no idea what to do. I was collecting workers comp checks, and often, they would be late, causing my wife and I to struggle. Finally, I Googled workers comp lawyers in Harrisburg, Pa. and simply contacted the firs...t one that came up. I had hoped to just get help in having my checks come in a timely manner. Not only did that happen, but after a few short months (much shorter than I expected) I received a very nice settlement from my work places insurance company, even though I had gone back to work for another company! I went to the settlement hearing expecting nothing, and walked away with the ability to be debt free! The moment you are placed on workers comp, contact Calhoon and associates! You won't regret it.

"Peace of Mind" at first consult

After work related injury in 2009 and five surgeries later, insurance company had filed an utilization review against latest prognosis and recommended needed future surgery by attending physician. The treatment was confirmed by second opinion Dr. and also insurance scheduled IME physician. Ron had b...een referred to me by my treating therapist who felt I should consult him and let him deal with all the legal issues with work comp so I could get the treatment I needed and deserved. Best decision I had made concerning this whole situation. Immediately following consult he contacted claims adjuster to let them know that he was representing me and they could no longer contact and attend my Dr. appointments. Within the next month he called me and assured me that I could go ahead and schedule my needed surgery. Three months later a mediation settlement hearing was scheduled and he negotiated a fair settlement of my wages while leaving my medical claim open as I needed another surgery that was scheduled and upcoming. Throughout this time my calls and questions no matter how simple or complex, were always returned and answered promptly and completely until he was sure I understood all the details involved. I would highly recommend Ron to anyone who is in need of not only an attorney with knowledge but also a caring person who makes sure you will be treated fairly as a person who deserves the medical treatment you need and the compensation you deserve as an injured worker.

Leader amongst Lawyers<>

When I needed a lawyer to proceed with my case Ron was there to walk me thru the steps to keep the ins. co. at bay. He is very knowledgeable with the system and he worked with me on a reasonable settlement. He puts the client first and always looks out for the clients behalf. When at court he puts th...e client at ease and listens to our concerns and applys them for a win-win confrontation. I would always recomend this firm to any person who needs representation as the best route. Ron was very courteous and hard working and always returned my calls even after hours and that made me feel very assured he would get the job done right. Rons firm is very family oriented and they all make you feel at ease and completely issue free after every phone call. Ron handled my case as a pro and I thank him for that. Thank you Ron; Sincerely<>Ricky W. Taylor<>

Attorney Ron Calhoon

I was hurt and fighting my battle with compensation for about two years when compensation tried to cut me off. A different attorney told me lets wait and see what happens. I called Ron Calhoon because I was frustrated with being beat up and told what I had to do by the insurance company. I was impres...sed because within a few minutes I had a response. I think Ron has his cell phone on and with him 24/7 because it is normal to receive email or text messages from him at any point day or night when something happened with my case. I would like to say that Ron is the best that there is when it comes to battling the insurance company. If I called his office my questions were answered and all calls were always returned. Ron went to the point of giving me his cell and even his home number incase there was an emergency. You don't find an attorney willing to do that, not today. I can remember Ron calling me while he was away with his family for the holidays, returned my call while on a hunting trip, he was always there for me when I needed him. Within a very short time it was not the insurance company telling me what to do it was RON CALHOON telling the insurance company what we were going to do. Ron was a savior, he came into my injury when I was in a state of desperation and showed me that there was hope and stood by my side and fought, battled for me. I remember the feeling I had at our first hearing, the insurance company was ready to eat me up until Ron stood up and demanded the respect that we both deserved. I would certainly rate him as the best attorney You could ever find if You are an injured worker. Ron tackled the insurance company for a settlement, within a short time we were at the table and we settled, had it not been for him that would have never happened. Bills the insurance company said they would not pay were paid. To Ron I was not just a case, I was an injured worker who deserved to be treated fairly and not only did he regain that respect for me, he demanded it. If You are hurt at work You need an attorney, don't let Your employer, your insurance company or anyone tell You different but let me personally tell You that the attorney that You need is Attorney RON CALHOON...... You will not find another attorney willing to go to the length that Ron is willing to go. Ron I Thank You for what You have done for me, my wife and children. I felt I owed You so much for all that You and Your staff did for me. Funny thing I learned it wasn't just me he was fighting for, it was every injured worker that picked up the phone and called him or walked into his office. In closing I would like to thank Ron, Tom & A.J., the office staff, right down to the person who answers the phone who always found the right person or answer i needed. Thank You each and every one of You... Ron Good luck and best wishes. Thank You for being there for me..... Raymond M. Perkowski, Jr. Nanticoke PA / Las Vegas, NV (570)472-5514
