#1 Worker's Comp Attorney

Mr. Banks is a blessing. He handled my workers comp case and without him I don't know where my family and I would be. He and his staff are knowledgeable and hardworking people who truly care about their clients' needs. Mr. Banks always kept me informed and comfortable and I would recommend him to any...one.

Client for 14 years

I would highly recommend Mr. Banks and his firm. He handled many issues of my ongoing medical claim over the course of 14 years. He was very thorough and issues were handled as quickly as possible. He was accessible and informative.

A Hardworking Attorney

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
