Thank you Tom!

Thomas Mottaz and his staff are great to work with! Tom has represented me in court against Worker’s Compensation in 2003 and 2019. His pre-court preparation, keeping me informed, attention to detail and presenting my case in court each time was suburb! I felt he truly cared about me and worked hard ...to get the settlement that I deserved.

Tom Mottaz is a great W.C. Lawyer!

I hired Tom to straighten out my claim with state of MN because my first lawyer had gone to work for an insurance company. He and his staff did a wonderful job and saw to it that I got what I needed. I am now retired and can walk upright because of their good work.

Best Workers Comp Attorney in MN

After a bad low back injury,but prior to needed surgery,I was informed by my companies insurance carrier that they were unable to get my wage statements from my company.After I emailed the insurance company copies of my check stubs,they agreed to pay me the proper 2/3 of gross wages. After surgery,an...d delayed payment on medical bills,insurance said they received info from my company and that they had been over paying me! Having retained Mr.Mottaz 25 years ago for a previous injury,I set up a consultation,and after talking to Tom,I ended up retaining him.From that moment on,it seemed as if Mr.Mottaz was at least 2 to 3 steps ahead of the adverse law firm retained by insurance.He quickly called for a conference and regained my rightful weekly benefits.I was directed to the proper path for retraining with an excellent QRC recommended by Tom. Insurance threw up road blocks wherever possible,yet in the end,the State approved the retraining plan. Along the way any questions I had were answered quickly by Tom or his assistants.Very happy with the outcome (besides the permanent injury).Highly recommend!!

Mr.

Tom represented me in a long complicated workplace injury. He was straight forward with me and produced the results he said he would. Even after 10 years he still made sure a recent surgery related to the initial injury was covered. Tom is the top of his field, and the insurance company's and the c...ourt system know it,

Workers Compensation Lawyer Tom Mottaz

I sustained a work injury but was not sure I needed a lawyer. I soon found that I was no longer able to perform the duties my job required and the termination of my employment became very real and scary. I decided it was time to find out if maybe a lawyer could help me. I did a free consultation w...ith Thomas Mottaz. He reviewed my case promptly and I was relieved to know I had found someone who would represent me in a professional and compassionate manner. I can say that my case has been settled and that Tom represented me successfully. His experience and dedication are so appreciated! I am very thankful that I contacted his office because it would not have gone well for me without him. I would definitely recommend Tom to anyone who needs a lawyer for an injury. Even if you are not sure you do, a free consultation really gives you peace of mind! Thank-you Tom! Donna

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
