Vanasse Law Provides Expert Worker's Compensation Representation

If you need a law firm to represent you in a Worker's Compensation case, I highly, highly recommend the firm of Vanasse Law. In fact, based on my experience, words cannot describe how this firm went above and beyond to help me win my own case. When another attorney thankfully referred me to Vanasse ...Law, I was in terrible pain from a work-related injury and could barely take care of myself, much less handle my Worker's Compensation case. Michael Vanasse not only became my trusted attorney but also a trusted advisor on not just my case but also on other matters closely related to my injury and the separation from my employer. He expertly submitted all applications and documents related to my case and prepared me for what I could expect each step of the way, for example, during the deposition and the court appearances. Mike's paralegal Loraine Liuzzo was consistently and expertly on top of the blizzard of documents and medical receipts that needed to be submitted, and was also a highly experienced and trusted advisor each step of the way. They together handled my case flawlessly, thereby allowing me to win a substantial settlement. A huge plus is that they are both the nicest and most upright people you will ever meet. Based on this experience, I highly recommend Vanasse Law and hold them in the highest esteem.

For great results look no futher

On February 6, 2014 I didn’t know what I was going to do about being denied surgery due to a work injury. Then I saw a glimpse of hope when “Vanasse Law We Help With Workmen’s Comp” came on my home computer when I looked up workers’ comp lawyers. I called and got an appointment for the following we...ek. Then after 14 months of hard work, with phone calls, paperwork, and a whole lot more, what Mr. Vanasse and Mrs. Liuzzo did for me, they overcame all that was put in front of them. They put my life and my health back together. They both were not just a Law Firm, they were like family and that is how my wife and I got treated. I cannot even begin to tell them how much they and the hard work they did means to us. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul. – Edward M.

Awesome!

I cannot say enough about the excellent job Michael Vanasse did for representing me. I was in pain after having a work related injury and surgery for herniated discs in my neck. It was easy to talk to his office staff with questions as I went thru problems getting paid. Mike has a great personality a...nd made this process easier to deal with. He worked hard at getting me a good settlement and peace from the insurance carrier. I wound highly recommend Michael Vanasse.
