Great to have in my corner

The workers comp process is a lot more difficult than I would have ever imagined and I am glad to have found a good lawyer. Attorney Fred Beer help guide me through a long a difficult time. His advice and knowledge help to ease the stress and allow me to focus on my recovery. He answered all of ...my questions and handled my concerns from beginning to end. All e-mails and phone calls were returned promptly and any issues were addressed right away. In addition he kept me well informed as to what would or may come next, staying on top of the situation all of the time. Being properly advised of my rights I was able to get the best treatment possible and he even helped me to research doctors that were well suited to treat my injuries. After any procedures Attorney Beer followed up to make sure I was doing well and that everything went well. From day one he made sure I received a fair wage during my time off and stayed on top of the insurance company when they fell behind in payments. He also made sure all medical bills were taken care of and in the end got me a fair settlement. All in all I would recommend him to anyone that has to go through the workers comp process. A competent attorney that will always look out for your best interest.

Mr. Fred Beer, attorney

Mr. Beer handled a workman's comp. case that clearly followed Illinois guidelines for such a case. My employer, however, termed it an "unfortunate accident" and prolonged the settlement of the case for five years and seven months. Finally, two and a half years into the case, my employer agreed it w...as, indeed, workman's comp. However, it took another three years before we could get contracts that reflected agreed upon terms of settlement, and those contracts were only achieved because Mr. Beer assumed strong leadership in directing the final resolution of this matter. During this lenghty process, Mr. Beer worked tirelessly and persistently with all parties in an effort to reach a timely conclusion. In all my contacts with him, he was professional and showed consideration for my case. I always felt I was getting good legal advice and that he would work in my best interests; additionally, phone messages/e-mail inquires were returned promptly. Mr. Beer's experience in this area also helped me keep the process in perspective, especially in terms of the long timeline. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Beer to anyone needing his specialized expertise.
