Workers comp injury to neck and shoulder area

In the beginning I tried to handle everything myself. However, it just didn't seem like I was getting the proper care, and the insurance company was taking forever to get anything done. If that wasn't enough to deal with, my work wanted to make me look like the "bad guy" and tell me that I had a shor...t time to return to work full duty or not return at all and possibly not have a job. That is when I called Mr. Farmer. Mr. Farmer answered all my questions and helped me to understand the entire process. He reassured me that I didn't have to worry about anything, as well as advising me in what to do when my employer tried to force me to go out on FMLA so that they would not have to pay me while I was unable to work. When I hired Mr. Farmer to take on my case, things started to get on course and run a whole lot smoother. I had someone now to fight my battle and had full confidence that he would make sure that I got the proper medical care and reimbursement for the time lost while I was unable to work due to the severity of my injury. It was a long battle, but he saw me through it. Anytime I had questions, he was there to help. I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with a work related injury.

Excellent Experience with a Superb Advocate

In a difficult time in my life, I hired Mr. Farmer to represent me in a complex civil mater. Mr. Farmer helped me understand the process and thoroughly explained my options. Even though we were faced with many difficulties throughout the process, Mr. Farmer was very persistent and fought hard until h...e got the result I felt was just under the circumstances. I could feel Mr. Farmer's genuine compassion, as I know he truly cared about me and the outcome of my case. I highly recommend Mr. Farmer to anyone who is looking for legal services.
