Workers Compensation

When you need a lawyer to represent your interests in a Workers Compensation case, I wholeheartedly recommend Brad McLelland. My husband was injured at work and we  believed that as long as we did everything asked of him by his employer, his physician and the insurance company, they would pay him... what he was due under GA law. We were sadly mistaken. We were jerked around by the insurance company at every turn. We were made to jump through hoops, denied medications, shorted on weekly payments, and made to endure humiliating light duty work. We finally realized that the insurance company and his employer were NOT looking out for our best interest but their own. It's at this point that we sought out Attorney Brad McLelland, as he came highly recommended by another Attorney we knew. From our very first meeting with Brad and his staff, we were highly impressed. Brad explained the laws of GA and how they pertained to my husbands situation. He was very thorough and made the process of deciding that he was the attorney for the job, simple.  Throughout the entire process, Brad and his staff remained in constant contact. Whether by email, telephone or in person, he and/or his staff were always the consummate professionals. They answered any and all questions we may have had in layman's terms which were easy to understand. Going through the Worker's Compensation system is not easy. But knowing that Brad and his staff were fighting for us, dealing with the insurance company and their demands, and pushing them toward an equitable conclusion, gave us peace of mind. Brad McLelland negotiated a settlement that was fair to us. We know the outcome would have been drastically different if we had not sought out his representation. We trust the Law Office of Brad McLelland. I would not hesitate to recommend his office to you if you find yourself in need of legal representation.
