Workers Compensation Rotator Cuff Surgery

WOW, Nice guy enjoyed working with Reid and his staff. I hired Reid in 2020 to take care of my WC case for rotator cuff surgery. I had both shoulders operated on in 2020 the right one in January and left one in June and on December 30th the case went to mediation and was closed. Reid done a awesome j...ob he will keep you up to date and will educate you along the way. I can't say enough good about this guy he knows what he is doing. Thanks' for all you done I never imagined I would receive the $'s I received from this case. Thanks again to Reid and his staff.

M. Reid Acree, Jr. Attorney

Mr. Acree was very professional yet personable, as well as diligent, thorough, timely, and accurate in his assessment of the issues involved in my case and was exceptionally capable in explaining to me what would be most likely to favorably resolve my legal problem in a manner that provides the best... outcome for me as well as the other party involved. He was able to get a favorable resolution for me that left the other party and me on satisfactory terms with each other. I couldn't have asked for a better result. His kind and personable attitude did more to help the other party and me than anything else. He is a credit to his profession.
