THE VERY BEST!!

I was injured on my way to work and had a paralyzed hand as a result. I was terrified about our financial stability and so was my wife and son. I contacted several lawyers with no luck in getting them to take my case. I called the top rated lawyer in my area according to Google. They could not help m...e but they suggested Don Magee. From the very first call I spoke directly with Don himself. I was informed of every single detail of my case and Don swiftly corresponded with any attempt to contact him. The utmost ethical lawyer you will ever find, the thing I loved about Magee Law Firm is that they didn't look at me like a walking dollar sign. Don legitimately and genuinely cared about my physical health. Multiple times throughout the workers compensation claim he drove home the point that he was there to help me get the proper medical care. We ended up finishing our case and I was very pleased with the outcome. I highly and wholly, from the bottom of my heart recommend Magee Law Firm. It is a very very scary situation ( a work injury), in that moment CALL MAGEE LAW FIRM! Don will take care of everything and get you a leg up while you heal. I will say it again.. I highly recommend Magee Law Firm.

Would Not Recommend

I hired Mr. Magee to handle my work comp case. I would not recommend him. I was not given copies of my petition until I asked several times and was not given copies of the response filed by the insurance company at all. When I called or emailed, I received no response from his office. My question...s were not answered. I was completely out of the loop on my case and I felt completely neglected as a client. He is a very nice man but case management and professionalism are not skills his office possesses.

My Law Firm is a small firm that consists of me and my paralegal who has been with me for over 15 years. When you contact my ofice you will speak to my paralegal, and if she can't answer the question she will always schedule a phone conference or office appointment with me. We provide one-on-one direct representations with the client and have represented over 3,500 injured worker's in a very frustrating and complicated Florida Workers' Compensation system. We represent the injured to help and guide them through the legal process. At the time of signing up a client I give the client my e-mail address. Most attorneys do not do this, so it is surprising that there is an allegation I don't return e-mails. Nonetheless, I have an "AV" rating by Martindale Hubbell which is the highest rating an attorney can receive for ability and ethics. Therefore, , I take great pride in my reputation.
