Scott Butler

In July 2015 I sustained a work related injury to my lower back. I continued to go to work even though the pain was so bad my wife had to put my shoes and socks on for me. Initially, workers compensation recognized this was a work related injury and paid for initial treatments. However, when it w...as determined I would require surgery and this would be expensive, workers compensation bailed out. This did not set well with me. My employer pays a tremendous amount of money for workers compensation and workers comp is supposed to take care of you in times like this. I know I work hard to do what I am paid to do. I expected the same from workers comp. It's not like I was looking for some kind of a handout. My injury is something that will cause me pain for the rest of my life. I was going to do whatever I could to rehab and get back to work. But in the mean time I sustained a loss of wages, was forced to use my sick leave and pay my portion of health insurance out of pocket. I searched this site, "AVVO" for an attorney to represent me. This was where I found Attorney Scott Butler from Fitzpatrick, Skemp & Associates, LLC in Lacrosse, WI. Our correspondence began with a brief initial consultation via telephone. Mr. Butler was very professional and thorough in obtaining all information pertaining to my case. Mr. Butler made this process easy for me in that he would either mail or email documents to me that required my review and signature. He then began the arduous task of gathering documentation from my employer, and (3) different hospitals where I received treatment, and possibly more that I am not aware of. Every so often, he would call me and brief me of the case status. He was clear, concise and professional with everything he did. Mr. Butler resolved my case in a most satisfactory and timely manner. If you ever have the misfortune of receiving a work related injury, and workers compensation refuses to do what they are paid to do, I would highly recommend Attorney Scott Butler and the Law Office of Fitzpatrick & Associates, LLC to represent you.

My wife and I hired Scott in the summer of 2016. My wife suffered a soft tissue injury to her ankle/foot after a loose dog in our neighborhood charged towards my wife causing her to fall. Our main reasons for hiring Scott was not for financial gain. Our intent was to simply recover our costs for m...edical care and to not have to deal with it. I spoke with 2 or 3 other attorney’s in the area and none of them thought it would be worth perusing legally. Scott was quick to respond to my inquiry, he set an appointment for my wife and I to come in and discuss our options. Once we hired Scott he was responsive to our requests, guided us on recovery and medical care, and kept us informed on any updates or progress. Scott was able to negotiate a settlement beyond our expectations. We were overall very satisfied with the process, settlement, and with Scott. My wife and I would recommend Scott as a personal injury attorney.

Mine was not an extremely large claim yet I felt Scott gave my claim the same attention he would give much larger claims and Scott demonstrated he was working in my interest. The professionalism and communication he exemplified to me was very appreciated. With the little Scott had to work with in m...y claim I was extremely satisfied with the end result.

Scott was a great attorney all through my case. I hired Scott for a personal injury case, a car accident. He was up front about the contingency fee agreement, checked in on my care periodically, and when it came time to settle, he made it happen quickly. Not only did I have my money from my case qui...ckly, my case settled for substantially more than I thought it would. Thanks Scott! Now I can move on with my life without worrying about paying for all the medical care I got related to this car accident.

What I appreciated most about Scott's handling of my case is that he kept me promptly updated on every development of the case and explained it clearly so I could understand what was going on. He was good at letting me know what my available options were and giving me sound advice while still giving ...me space to make my own decisions. And the case was wrapped up and handled a lot faster than I expected. That was really nice, because now that it's all settled I can be happy that it's all taken care of I and I can fully focus on other things now. I'm really glad I had Scott in charge of handling my case. I had little to worry about. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants a lawyer that will handle their case with ease and confidence.
