Workers Compensation

Robert Bourne is an amazing attorney. He fights hard for his client. I hired Mr. Bourne over 2 years ago for my Workers Comp case and Mr. Bourne handled it perfectly. It was the first time I have ever hired a lawyer for anything, every time I called him or went to see him, he explained everything tho...roughly. He helped me get what I needed. My husband got hurt at work and we knew exactly who to turn to, what a nightmare my husband's case was. Mr. Bourne took the time and helped get things straightened out, got him in to see a great doctor and finally got the weekly compensation started. This case had so many ups and downs, Mr. Bourne was knowledgeable and patient as he explained everything along the way. When the checks were not coming regular he called the insurance adjuster and never late again. It has taken 14 months to go through the process, finally its over and Robert Bourne got my husband what he deserved. I would highly recommend Mr. Robert Bourne to handle any case, as he is very professional and very, very knowledgeable about Workers Compensation. He goes the extra mile for his clients. Ron and Noreen

Workman Compensation Case

Robert has spent his entire career in the WC field. He was excellent at preparing me for decisions I needed to make and he provided honest assessments of the case value and managed my expectations with the truth. He was always concerned about my well being, always was available on his mobile. It als...o was evident that he was well known and respected not only among his peers but also among the companies and doctors involved in the cases.

excellent lawyer

I was injured at Home Depot. Robert got me a very good workers comp settlement. He gave me his cell phone number. I could call him no matter the day or time. He explained everything to me very well. Great lawyer. Anthony

Mr. Bourne is a fantastic attorney

Mr. Bourne helped me with my case involving Debt Collectors. I went through a difficult time which turned worse when I was harrassed by numerous debt collectors. Mr. Bourne agreed to take my case pro-bono and was able to get the case dismissed. His counsel was invaluable as he explained to me each st...ep along my case what would happen. He is a very honest attorney who cares about his clients and I would recommend him to anybody.

Seasoned attorney with outstanding interpersonal skills

Robert Bourne's instincts and emotional intelligence, coupled with his knowledge and experience of the litigation process, make him a reliable person to turn to in a time of trouble. He cares. I unreservedly recommend him as an attorney in any crisis, large or small.
