Work comp

Mr. David was a great representative and I appreciate all his work you have done and hear me out through the entire situation

Posted by Lindsay | November 16, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Workers Compensation

Came through *BIG* time!

At 8 months pregnant, I slipped and fell on the job. I landed on my backside and immediately started bleeding. I was rushed to the hospital and soon discovered that -- thank heaven -- the baby and I were both fine, with the exception of having endured a partial placenta abruption. Hospital bills m...ounted, and my employer claimed no responsibility. A friend recommended I hire Dave Thompson to represent me in my worker's compensation case, and I simply could not be happier with my experience with him as my lawyer. He fought for me diligently throughout the process, and he was always available when I had questions or needed consultation. Long story short, I didn't pay a single cent toward the hospital bills. Dave saw to it that the employer covered every penny charged to me. If you need somebody to fight similarly for you, here is your guy.

The Best Attorney I have ever worked with!!!

I would definitely recommend Mr. Thompson for your case becasue I am 100% happy with his service. My worker COMP was first referred to a few other attorneys. Since my case was minor, those attorneys didn't take my case either because they thought there was no chance to win or they wouldn't make en...ough money to cover their effort out of such a minor case. Fortunately my case was eventually referred to Mr. Thompson who was specialized in this type of cases. The moment my case was referred to him, he took my case without any hesitation and started working on it immediately. Even my case was minor, Mr. Thompson handled my case with high attention and kept every step on schedule. He was very consistent, persistent, detailed, very knowledgeable, and highly professional. He kept me informed of each step, and was absolutely responsive whenever I have questions. With the Power attorney I granted him, I have minimum work to do and he shaded all the pressure from other side for me. I was able to maintain my routine work and life and didn't really have much concern while working with him. My case reached to a happy ending after 9 months of his hard work. While I am writing this review, the check I received from this case is laying on my table. -:) The key as a client in worker COMP case is being patient. Since there are lots of negotiation with other side and some of elements are out of our control. We need to give it time for both sides to negotiate and for our attorney to do his research and reach to the maximum benefits. I am very happy with Mr. Thompson's work. I have worked with 3 attorneys so far. He is the most trustworthy attorney I have ever worked with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know. Thank you, Mr. Thompson! I highly appreciate your help!

Best Lawyer.

David was quick to call or text me back when ever I had a question or just needed to know that someone was looking out for my best interest. He would call, text me back every time I needed him too. I had no trust in lawyers at the time that David was hired due to a lawyer that did not do his job prop...erly. I hired David and put him thru alot trying to see if the reason he was representing me was what was in my best interest or just because of the contract, between him and me. He went thru all that never giving a cross word to me. When it was time for him to get in front of the Judges, He did every thing that he could to represent me to the best of his knowledge and skills which is a great deal. If you want a lawyer that will do his best to represent you than Hire David I promise you that he will do everything he can do to help you get thru your case. Thank You David for being the Great Lawyer you are. David was against the odds in this case, He was against the odds, but still put everything he had into it. Two lawyers that I had before I hired David blew this case, that had 30 years in practicting law. He basically had to do the clean up on this case and only had three weeks to get it done. Their was several depositions and medical records he had to go thru, with limited time David got thru them, and was ready to face the judges when it was time for court. How he did it, I have no idea. But I have never seen a more prepared Lawyer. He was ask a question, he was able to answer them back with no problem. The other lawyer for the company was ask a question he could not responed with an answer, and looked shocked that he was ask anything. He basically was not prepared David was tand went that extra mile for me, his client.The other company lawyer was a stand for the company lawyer being on medical leave. But he was not prepared!! David was in three weeks time. The other lawyer had just as much time to prepare as David did. David would do that for any client that he is to help get thru their cases. I can't say enough good things about him. You want someone that will be their for both you and your case hire David.

Efficient and Helpful!

Dave assisted me with a small personal legal matter, but still treated my case with his full attention. He was readily available when I had questions and was easy to contact when I needed to schedule appointments. During our meeting, he conducted himself professionally, but he also put me at ease wi...th his congenial manner and use of language I could understand instead of "legalese." We had my situation figured out in a matter of 2 hours and I couldn't be happier with the results.
