Back to work!

I am a health care professional who was injured on the job in 2011. After 2 yrs of working everyday at the hospital, enduring horrific back and shoulder pain, too many misdiagnoses and 7 epidurals to relieve the pain, I was referred to a physician in KY for surgery. The major health care system I wo...rked for refused to pay for my surgery - to re-attach the muscles torn off my shoulder blade, caused by lifting a patient after heart surgery.That's when Tony stepped in....he was kind, explained the laws and what to expect. It relieved my anxiety to have such a knowledgeable and caring person take over all the worries of dealing with the hospital and WC. We had to sue the hospital/WC....8 months later I had my surgery in KY (after winning the suit!) . I am pain-free and back to work....I have my life back and am truly grateful to Tony Baratta!!!

Phenominal firm!!

When I suffered a work related injury, I needed to seek legal advice from an attorney. I was referred by an acquaintance to the law firm of Baratta Russell & Baratta. I had never needed an attorney before , and was very nervous. Anthony made me feel comfortable. The entire staff is amazing. Anth...ony is knowledgeable, firm, and to the point. There is no sugar coating of facts whether good or bad. He lets you know where the case stands. No nonsense. The communication between Anthony and the staff that he employs is top notch. Everybody in his office is aware of your personal situation and it makes you feel as though you are the only client he has. It's truly incredible. There was never a time when any information was not passed on, and not once did I hear "I'll have to get back to you on that". Anthony coordinates his team of attorneys around your case and they to are just as attentive of your case. My case dealt with a work related injury, and the company that I work for is very, very large. Needless to say, they have a tremendous amount of resources working on their behalf to discredit my injury situation. Anthony reviewed my situation, acted accordingly and the harassing telephone calls and threatening letters from the company human resources as well as from the company's insurance provider stopped. Without Anthony on my side, I would not have received the proper medical attention I needed and most definitely would have lost any financial support that I am legally entitled to. Anthony not only gives you the proper insight on the laws that are protecting you by explaining your entitlements, but also teaches you how to become a good client as well. This review isn't about a "winning" situation. There are no "winners" when it comes to a serious injury. It's about the protection of your rights and how your rights can be sidestepped by signing papers or making statements that may at the time seem insignificant. That's where Anthony comes in. After hiring Anthony as my attorney, it felt as though the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders. My compensation checks suddenly started coming in consistently without "delays" ,so they said. Nurse case managers stopped sitting in the waiting rooms as well as in the room with me while with the doctor. Yes, in the room with the doctor and I. It was nuts. All to twist what I was told by the doctors to minimize the truth of my injury. In conclusion, if you are in need of an attorney for a situation like mine, you NEED to hire Anthony Baratta. A truly nice group of people that I am glad were on my side.

Simply the BEST, cannot say enough GREAT things!

Tony worked WITH me for a MVA case that happened 3 years ago. It was a long process for me to feel good again after my injury but Tony was patient as I tried each new medication and therapy and updated him sometimes several times a week with my status. I talked to him directly on the phone, I e-mai...led him directly, and he PERSONALLY replied to my messages. I had only worked with one lawyer (for family issues) prior to using Tony for my MVA. The difference in the lawyers themselves and the practices were night and day. Tony came HIGHLY recommended by a friend, and she did not steer me wrong! Hopefully I will not need a lawyer again, but if I do, Tony is who I would call. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer. He was not out to "make a buck" by charging me for every time I talked to him or his staff. The whole practice was patient with my seemingly never-ending calls and e-mails and I never dreaded reaching out to them. They were all very caring. I truly cannot say enough about this group. THANK YOU for all you did for me!

Anthony J. Baratta is genuine human being, serves others before himself.

In my life I have witnessed many family and friends deal with a multitude of unexpected issues that have occurred in their lives which required legal representation. I am here to tell you this; Anthony Baratta is a very intelligent, sharp, tender, and compassionate human being. He is able to take the... complicated details of your case, of the law, and if you will, the legal mumbo jumbo and explain it to you in such a way that you don't feel insulted or confused. Anthony will always make sure that you have a full grasp and a complete understanding of the details of your case, at each new level until your case is settled. He is a true professional at every level, but to me and my mother, Anthony is the most genuine and compassionate attorney that I/we have ever communicated with. His entire team of professionals treated my mom, like she was their mom. This entire experience just blew me away, and filled me with such a peace of mind that it made it easier for me to focus on my mom's physical and emotional needs. Anthony is a true, genuine, selfless human being that took time away from his own family on a Sunday to share the great news with me that truly could have waited until Monday, but because he was so excited about the positive outcome for my mom, he made the call . And in today's world of what's in it for me, and it's all about me, who still cares about the needs of others before themselves, Anthony, that's who, he is just an all around great human being and a great attorney as well. Please understand this, Anthony J. Baratta and his entire team have been a huge blessing to me, my mother and our family and I would strongly encourage you to bring his team onboard for any of your legal needs. Sincerely in Jesus Christ name, David R. C.

"Legal bulldog" and extremely professional and personal individual

I was recommended by a friend to utilize Tony for a personal injury case back in 2005. He is extremely professional, thorough and a perfectionist. He always kept me informed about my case with correspondence, personal follow -ups, phone calls, etc. His office staff even paid personal attention to me ...as well, which was much appreciated. The entire team always made me feel confident in the legal process, and Tony is knowledgeable about the law, but also about his clients and their concerns. I would recommend him and his team to anyone I know. They are thorough, confident and professional. I am a detail oriented person, so I appreciated the correspondence in reference to my cases. I never felt out of touch with the process. I would highly encourage anyone seeking a "legal bulldog" to Tony. He has always been a pleasure to work with. And I love receiving my annual holiday card from him and his office-the personal touch.
