"I have mediated many workers' comp claims for Nathan. He has always been ethical, a viligant defender of the rights of his client, and knowledgeable. He doesn't shirk from a challenge. You are doing yourself a disservice if you are injured at work and don't at least consult with Nathan."

Workers compensation lawyer | Jan 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Nathan Woody is the rare attorney who will work with clients, and look into matters, that do not directly benefit him. When I've contacted Nathan about a potential Worker's Compensation claim Nathan's first priority, always, is to investigate how he can help the potential client. In short, Nathan puts his clients' interests above his own. That is a rare quality to have, and it serves his clients extremely well. I highly endorse this lawyer."

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.
