Superior knowledge

When we were faced with a job injury and loss of time and wages we sought the council of Mr. Hedrick. We were very anxious about my husbands future. Mr. Hedrick was very thorough and honest with us and helped us through the maze of Workmens Comp. He is very compassionate in his approach. I would high...ly recommend him.

Great guy and extremely helpful

I cannot recommend him enough. John and Jordana were extremely helpful, professional and punctual. They helped me with a workers comp claim that had been ongoing for 2 years and helped smoothly resolve it. I’d give them 6 stars if I could.

A listening ear with empathy

Mr Hedrick, viewed my workers compensation case and explains the do’s and don’ts before taking my case. He also made all communication from the smallest issue to the most complicated issues. He has a wonderful assistant that also was a wonderful guide to make the hardest situation a lot smoother. I w...ill highly recommend him to anyone. I can’t thank Hedrick Law Firm enough!!

Fantastic Law Firm!

John and Jordanna were there for me during the whole time my case was in mitigation. Anytime I needed them for information about my case, they were right there willing and able to do whatever it took to solve whatever issues I had. They kept me fully informed. John really went to bat for me when m...y company tried to lowball me in my settlement. He and Jordanna were always concerned about my family and me not only as clients, but as friends. I highly recommend this law firm if you have any worker’s compensation issues. I truly believe that no one will work harder for you. They are always honest with you about your situation. I’m so glad that the Lord led me to them.

Fantastic Law Firm

I suffered a major injury and went along with the employer's insurance recommendations. After having surgery, I felt there was quite a bit of damage left and the insurance company started to drag out my request for a second opinion. Feeling like I was being brushed off =, I consulted with John and Jo...rdanna about this ongoing situation. John and Jordanna expidited my second opinion to a very competent surgeon who did have to preform a second surgery. Through all of the red tape John and Jordanna were always available and treated me as I were the only client they had.

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.
