Extremely responsive!
Casey has helped me with 2 different cases over a few year period. He always answers my calls immediately or calls me right back. I never have to talk to a paralegal or assistant. He personally answers and handles my needs and always makes me feel important. He is extremely thorough. Both cases were handled with little work on my part and both has favorable results. That is because Casey has years of experience and knowledge and that is why I trust him 100%

Very knowledgeable
They day it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert at something... If I could rate his level of expertise I would say he’s got 1,000,000. That’s figurative but that’s the only way I can explain how he broke things down. Surely a workers comp wizard.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mr Casey Carlson on a workers compensation case. He was very professional and knowledgeable. My case settled very quickly and I would highly recommend this firm to any one with legal needs. Tracey his para legal was also very helpful and she kept me informed throughout the case. This firm has also been helpful with another case of mine and is currently helping other family members. Again I would highly recommend them and my thanks goes out to everyone there.

Casey Carlson is by far the best work comp attorney I have ever associated with. He was honest, more than fair, and got the job done fast. By far he is a very high caliber attorney and I would call him for any area he practices in.

Casey and his staff where perfect. I can not see how anything could be better. It was all in record time, and I got a higher payment than expected. Referred to me by Fran Haasch, I highly recommend both Casey Carlson, and Fran Haasch for your injury, out of work scenario and case.

The Only Attorney to Hire....
Casey Carlson is my attorney representing me in an auto accident. He was extremely compassionate towards me and the injuries I sustained to my neck, back and hip. He helped me get the medical attention I needed and eased my confusion and inexperience in a situation where I felt vulnerable and hurt. I highly recommend him!

Professionalism at its very best!
My attorney was CaseyK Carlson. His paralegals name is Tracy. Those two have worked very hard to fight for me and get the treatment, and rights that belonged to me. They don't just try to get you the money you deserve they fight for you in a way your mom and dad would they care about your well-being. They have been very good to me over the years they're very well trusted and I would recommend them to absolutely anyone who would ever ask.

First time workers comp claim.
I really couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. Casey really helped me with my workers comp because I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. And he helped get me through what can be the headache of workers comp. I’d recommend him to anyone who’s going through a work comp claim. Especially people like me who have no idea what was going on. And Tracey was always helpful and a terrific assistant. I couldn’t have asked more from this office. And Casey got me a settlement that I was happy with! Highly recommend!

Could not be happier with Mr. Carlson!
I tried to navigate the Workers Compensation system by myself and after doing research chose Casey Carlson to help me. He made me feel comfortable and guided me through the law but did so at a level that I understood. If you need someone who is willing to patiently help you through the Workers Comp maze Casey is your Lawyer and Friend!
