SEEN better days

In Jun 2019 while working in Iraq I had an injury to my head that ultimately caused me to lose my sight. The initial worker's comp claim was denied. After contacting a DBA law firm Javier Ruiz was assigned to my case. After two (2) long years, Javier's relentless pursuit of the right thing for me ...resulted in a settlement that will take care of me and my family. He is passionate about his work and truly cares for people. His encouragement to stay positive helped my wife and I through this new journey we're on. I'd definitely recommend Javier to fight for you too.

Thanks for the Work

I filed a DBA claim and from the time I filed till I started getting bi-weekly payments was about 72 days. The Settlement process took about 15 months to agree to out of court compensation and a check for settlement received.

Miracle Worker

After my injury sustained while working in Iraq I was overcome by stress and grief of having to deal with my employers insurance carrier. At first the denied my claim and would not release funds for medical care or wage loss. At this point in time I was ready to throw in the towel and move on, regard...less of how debilitating my injury was. Then a friend referred me to Javier. Javier immediately gave me piece of mind as he assured me I have a valid claim, adequate documentation, and that he was going to get me a positive resolution. And that’s exactly what he did! I cannot say enough good things about Javier and his associates. They took care of everything and it was completely seamless from start to finish. Allowing me to focus on my recovery and next steps after my injury. A sincere thank you to Javier and all of his associates! I will be referring you to any and all of my injured coworkers.

#1 DBA Attorney in USA

I was injured while working for a government contractor in Iraq. After months of getting the run around from corporate HR and the insurance carrier, I knew I couldn't proceed with my claim any further on my own. Javier was highly recommended so I sent a message explaining the predicament I was in. ...Within 30 minutes, Javier personally responded with a phone call. He immediately took my case and put my mind at ease. Javier and the paralegals working on my case were outstanding from day one. If you ever need to file a DBA claim, I will be perfectly honest. You will be traveling down a very tough and rocky road. Your employer and their insurance company will fight you tooth and nail hoping you will give up. Rest assured, with Javier, you will never be alone. He will fight for you to the very end of your case and beyond. After my settlement was awarded, a medical professional who was treating me for my injury, became greedy and tried to squeeze money out of me for services which were never provided. In spite of having more than fulfilled his obligations on my case, Javier jumped right back in on my side and put a quick end it. That speaks volumes as to who Javier Ruiz is. To sum it all up, if you ever have a DBA claim, do not try to go it alone. Contact Javier immediately.

Highly recommended

Javier, worked very hard day and night on my worker's comp case. It was not an easy time for our family. He clearly explained things to us. He was constantly fighting for us. He is very experienced and very professional. I give the highest rating.
