Tim's Workman's Compensation Case

My husband was involved in a work related injury that shattered his lower leg. He was 50 years old at the time and this was a difficult injury to heal. With the bones shattered and an inability to go back working the same physical work that he was doing prior to his injury, his company formulated a p...osition for him so he could still work and be profitable for them. It was a generous offer that he couldn't refuse. Two years later the company was sold and the new owners eliminated his position because they figured he was a liability. Tim couldn't find work anywhere because of his limitations. He even went through Workforce Developement and he was released from their program. With the loss of employment, Workman's Compensation became less eager to approve Tim's treatments for pain and all of the depression and anxiety he was feeling as a result of his injury and then termination. A friend referred us to Patricia Sandoz. We called and made an appointment for a consultation to see if we had a case. We lugged all of our massive paperwork piles in to her office relating to injury, treatments, work history with the company, and anything else that we could find that might help show our situation. She took the time to go over massive records and asking many questions to get familiar with us and our situation. She was very receptive to our explanations and told us that we had a very strong case from what she could see and said she would love to help us out. She communicated everything via email and phone religiously. If we had questions or concerns she answered us immediately most of the time herself. She gave us her direct line about midway through the process so she could get our questions or concerns dealt with more quickly. She always answered within a couple hours even on her busy days. She sometimes would just check in to see how everything was going for us just because she truly cares about her clients. We aren't just a number. She made all of the arrangements for appointments that we needed to have. She covered every base that needed to be covered. We always knew where we were at and we were always well informed. If she needed something she would request the information and we would get it back to her as soon as we got what she requested and she would get right back on it again. She makes you feel like you are her priority even though you know she has a full work load with many clients. We have dealt with several lawyers in the past for lesser issues but we have never connected with a person like Patricia. She is one in a million and I would recommend her to anyone who would benefit from her services. She managed to get Tim a decent settlement, a medical account arrangement with Workman's Compensation, and Tim is now on Social Security Disability. He is finally starting to live again and feel like a person. We are so fortunate to have found Patricia in our time of need.

Workers comp case

Attorney Sandoz was great! I didn't live very close so we did a lot of email/phone. I was very happy that she responded almost immediately every time! The best part is she did what she said she was going to do for me. She was on top of every detail through out my case. She finished it with a win!

COULDN'T ASK FOR A BETTER LAWYER

PATRICA WAS GREAT. SHE EXPLAINED WHAT STEPS WOULD HAVE TO BE TAKEN ON WHAT SHE WOULD BE DOING AND WHAT I WOULD HAVE TO DO. SHE ANSWERED ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS I HAD AND IF EVER I NEEDED TO TALK TO HER OR HAD CONCERNS ABOUT ANYTHING SHE WAS THERE FOR ME. SHE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB AND GOT ME MORE THEN ...I EVER EXPECTED TO GET. IF YOU WANT A GREAT ATTORNEY I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND PATRICA. YOU'LL BE AS THANKFUL AS I AM THAT I HAD HER REPRESENT ME.
