Lawyer who cares!

If you need a Workman’s Comp lawyer don’t look any further. Your answer is Reis Law. I worked with David Rubin, a lawyer with Reis Law, as well as Laura Reis her self. They fought tooth and nail for my treatment, after a serious work injury, and fought for my settlement as well. My case was complex a...nd they became like a family. They put up with my neurosis, and besides just doing an amazing job on my case, it was obvious that they took the case personally and provided excellent service. I am so so lucky and grateful to David and Laura! From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!

Amazing Law Team

I had a workman’s compensation claim; because, the company I worked for did not follow the safty guidlines for employees. As result, I permanently injured my knee. Reis Law Firm took my case. Laura’s team was very attentive. They followed up with answers to all my questions and concerns. ... We settled out of court with a very comfortable amount for my injury. Although I rather have my old knee back, I have come to a conclusion that life could be worse off. The settlement money is going toward my retirement as a replacement for my pension. I was blessed to be referred to Reis Law Firm. They are amazing!

Medical & Legal Spanish Interpreter

Been a Medical & Legal Interpreter in Atlanta area for nearly 15 years. In that time I've had the opportunity to meet with a few attorneys through the course of my work. Attorney Laura Reis, in my opinion, is one of the best WC attorneys in Atlanta. She has always granted a free consult to a clie...nt I sent her way, has treated those clients respectfully and has acquired a positive outcome for them. Totally endorse Laura Reis if you want a caring and tenacious attorney fighting on your behalf.

Review for services performed

My name is Mike. I came to hire Ms. Reis because I suffered an on-the-job injury which required surgery. After I came back to work another employee was trying to get me to perform activities for which I was not medically cleared. I contacted, and subsequently retained Ms. Reis nominally to keep the c...ompany off my back for a month until I took a new job. Ms. Reis went far and beyond what I expected. Within one week she secured a $60K settlement for me, possibly the best surprise I've ever had! I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Reis if you need legal services. Everyone in her office was very helpful and communicative, I never had a single problem getting someone to answer my questions and they promptly returned phone calls and emaii. If I ever need legal services again, my first call will be to Laura Reis and ReisLaw!

Timing

I went to Laura Reis when my worker's comp case was almost over and she took my case. I was surprised that I got any settlement. I am pleased to have income for the next 4 years. Her staff was friendly and helped to keep me informed. This law firm is upfront and I am proud to say that I was expecting... to pay thousands in fees but in my case, it was less that $80.00

"Laura is an experienced litigator in workers compensation. Most attorneys will not litigate your workers compensation case! Not only is she experienced, she is very aggressive and results-oriented as well. Her accolades with Top 100 Trial Lawyers and Super Lawyers speak for itself."

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.
