The Best

Mr. Parsons was a Blessing to me. When I first sent him a email he responded within minutes, he came to my house and we talked about what had happen and he went straight to work on my case. Whenever I had a problem with my doctors visits, weekly pay, or anything else he got right on it and fixed. I t...ried my best to only call him whenever I had a problem because I knew that I was in good hands with my case by him being on it. Mr.Parsons really worked hard on my case and he kept me posted on any changes that was going on. Mr. Parsons really cared about me getting better and I thank him for everything that he done to help me with my case. We won my case and I'm happy with the outcome. If you are looking for a lawyer to help you with Worker's Comp..Mr.Parsons is your man! #TheBestManToGetTheJobDone

Great Outcome!

Mr. Parson's is a wonderful attorney. He helped me with a very difficult Worker's comp case which resulted in a win for us. He was diligent with my case and kept in contact with me throughout the entire process. When my trial was appealed, he stuck with me and kept fighting for my case. In addition, ...he is a man of good character with a friendly staff to match. His office is welcoming and always accommodating. I would highly recommend Mr. Michael Parson's to anyone seeking an attorney for worker's comp.

Great Outcome more than expected

I hired Mr. Parson's after I filed my workers comp claim and the insurance company denied surgery. Mr. Parsons and Selena worked deligently to get the surgeries approved. They communicated with me at every turn. He always responded promptly when i had questions no matter how simple or repetative my q...uestion may had been With all the problems, delays and hurdles the insurance company created Mr. Parsons fought for me in order for me to receive the best medical care possible and to eventually settle my case. I am very appreciative for his hard work.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse Michael Parsons in his work as a tireless advocate on behalf of Georgia's injured workers. Michael is a leader in the workers' compensation community and is extremely well respected by our fellow colleagues in the Georgia Trial Lawyers' Association. In addition to his solid expertise in Georgia workers' compensation, Michael is also someone to whom I can turn for assistance with claims involving injured maritime workers under the Jones Act, as well as other similar Federal programs. Michael's solid experience, excellent reputation, and unwavering commitment to ethics sets the standard for what someone should look for in an attorney, and for these reasons I would recommend him to any potential client in need of quality legal representation."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Michael's reputation as a Worker's compensation is excellent. Many injured workers are treated like a dirty tissue by their employer and insurer; only to be used up and thrown away. Michael fights hard to make sure working men and women are protected and receive all the benefits they are entitled under the law. I proudly endorse Michael as a lawyer. Howard Spiva Attorney."
