Integrity, compassion, knowledge, and action from Doug Landau and his team.

I suffered a traumatic brain injury on the job and my company's workers' compensation insurer was dragging their feet paying for my surgery, hospital stay, rehabilitation, and wages. They were a huge corp. and I was just another claimant to them. I chose to contact an attorney and fortunately a para...legal friend recommended Doug Landau; I have never regretted my decision to put my claim in his hands. From my first meeting with Doug and his team, I was impressed not only by their experience and knowledge, but by the way I was treated. A traumatic brain injury can change the way one processes information. Everyone took the time to explain the claim, next steps, etc. They ALWAYS made certain I understood what they were doing on my behalf and no question I had was too small. When your entire world has shifted due to a TBI, there are good days and bad days and they knew this from having represented others with similar injuries. That level of compassion and humanity was appreciated more than I can express. Mr. Landau knew how difficult the numerous procedures and surgeries would be for me, both physically and mentally, and often, he knew exactly when to simply listen. Doug has a rare gift to read people and situations. His professionalism, humanity, and focus is reflected in his amazing team of legal professionals. During what is often the worst time in someone's life, these are the people you want in your corner. I can promise you one thing and that is you'll never regret having that office fighting to help make your life as whole as possible; they make your struggle theirs. I will always have the utmost respect for Doug and each and every person who worked on my case and with whom I interacted. You’re not going to find a better firm and I could not be more pleased with the outcome of my claim.
