Excellent job!!
John was recommended to me by another lawyer who I did not feel was doing a good job. He was hard to get ahold of and did not answer my questions. I had never had a personal injury case in the past, so I had a lot of questions. I was a little skeptical when I hired John. John was the exact opposite...

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known John for several years and am well aware of his extensive knowledge of workers' compensation law and trial abilities. He is a top notch attorney with truly excellent client relationship skills. Any person with a workers' compensation claim who is looking for a lawyer who will handle the claim with keen analysis and insight, AND communicate well with him/her could do no better than to retain John's services."
"I endorse this lawyer. My first contact with John Bucalo was as opposing counsel while I represented the State as an AAG. He fought for his clients in workers' comp. cases. John made sure that every aspect of the claim was addressed from lost wages, outstanding medical bills to future needs. He wanted to make sure his clients received the full benefits they were eligible for in the system. After I left the State, my relation with John continued as friend and referring attorney. I feel very comfortable referring clients to John in various practice areas beyond workers' comp. such as personal injury, accidents, and social security. John Bucalo is a well established and respected attorney in this community. His written advocacy skills as well as his oral argument skills will serve any client's needs whether in an administrative hearing or court room setting. I strongly endorse John Bucalo."
"John is an extremely competent, diligent and trustworthy attorney. I worked with John as a Law Clerk for two years, and have known him as a friend and colleague since. I endorse this lawyer."
"John was my successor at a Cleveland area law firm. He is very highly skilled, compassionate and an excellent advocate for the injured disabled. He is one of a handful of attorneys who cover hearings for our office. I enthusiastically endorse John."
"I endorse John Bucalo as an Ohio Workers' Compensation attorney. I've known him for years, on both a personal and professional level. John is a very knowledgeable, professional, dedicated, and hard working attorney who cares about his clients. John and I both represent injured workers and we are active in the Ohio Association for Justice's Workers' Compensation section and as members of the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association Workers' Compensation section. When we get together to discuss the nuances of Ohio Workers' Compensation, it's clear that he knows what he's talking about. John is a Board Certified Workers' Comp Attorney who has been successfully representing injured workers for years."
