OUTCOME: $250,000 Settlement

Attorney Chandler in association with another firm obtained a combined workers’ compensation settlement and third-party liability settlement for widow of a gentleman who was shot and killed in the cour ... se of a robbery at a local hotel. Attorney Michael Chandler was lead counsel for Hull & Chandler.

He did not file a 1099 and was never issued a W-2. The third-party settlement was defended on several grounds and settled during litigation. The widow almost gave up on her claim after several attorneys advised her she did not have a case; that was until she was referred to Attorney Michael Chandler.
