An attorney who truly fought for me.

I absolutely recommend Joseph Odato to anyone looking for a workers’ comp attorney who will actually listen to you, communicate with you, and fight for you. Joseph took over my case from one of his colleagues, and one of the first things he did was personally get on the phone with me and introduce... himself. He took the time to explain my case, listen to my concerns, understand the hell I had already been through with Morgan & Morgan, and talk about what I wanted moving forward. I never felt rushed, pressured, or like I was just another case to him. He literally held my hand through the process and made sure I felt comfortable and understood what was happening. Communication was also never an issue with Joseph. I actually spoke with my attorney, which was extremely important to me after my experience with my previous law firm. When I had concerns, they were heard and addressed. And when it came time to fight for me, Joseph absolutely went to war against my employer’s workers’ comp insurance company. When they tried to low-ball me, he did not back down or pressure me to accept something just to get the case over with. He fought for me and pushed to get the highest value possible for my injuries and my case. What I appreciated most was that I genuinely felt like Joseph was in my corner. He was professional, straightforward, patient, and made me feel protected throughout the process. After previously feeling like my case was sitting in limbo, having an attorney who actually communicated with me and fought for me made a huge difference. I would absolutely recommend Joseph Odato to anyone looking for a great workers’ comp attorney who will listen to you, stand up for you, and fight to bring home a victory. I am extremely grateful that he represented me.
