In 2021, I fell and tore up my shoulder at work. This was due to some mats that the employees had warned the administration about. I’m a nurse. When they finally ok’d my visit to a surgeon, I actually picked one that was one of the owners of my surgical facility. I picked him because of his skill and... expertise. The interesting thing is that he was the one who urged me to get a workman’s comp lawyer. So I googled WC lawyers and found Steve. I liked his personality over the phone; he had good reviews so I hired him. This was the beginning of a 3+ year struggle to get compensation from my employer. I had surgery; physical therapy and was actually able to return to work after a very long rehab. To say that the insurance company dragged their feet is a GROSS understatement. But all through this 3 year struggle, Steve kept me informed and updated even when there was no news. This whole thing is very complicated and I’m so glad I listened to my surgeon. What the insurance company and Human Resources try to do is beat you down at every step, and without an attorney running interference, they will have you questioning your own sanity. I believe they drag it out in the hopes the injured party will just give up. Fortunately, I had an attorney with a good sense of humor that kept me from being discouraged; explained everything and didn’t let me give up. I don’t know how he managed to deal with so many idiots—-I sure wouldn’t be able to without screaming like a fishwife over the phone. I’m glad it’s over but I have learned a lot. And now, when someone has an accident at their job, I’m the one saying, ‘Get a lawyer. I’ve got a name.’ BTW, I never saw him in the flesh until we met so I could pick up the checks. He’s extremely tall.

Stephen was recommended to me by a big time lawyer I knew but didn't handle worker's comp cases, which my case was. Even though I hadn't talked with him till after my injury, surgery, and 7 months of pysical therapy plus the workers comp agent denying any more PT. Stephen took the case,making sure I ...understood everything he could or couldn't do,he promptly got the insurance provider to cover a individual medical evaluation by the best there was. This lead to a second surgery and more PT, all covered by the insurance provider, until I reached maximum medical improvement witch I believe wouldn't have happened without Stephen ' s help. Throughout this process stephen was always willing to listen to my concerns and made sure I understood everything that was happening. I am better now and received a very satisfying settlement, all due to Stephen Hoffman ' s efforts. I highly recommend him

Stephen works hard and responds fast. His work ethic is admirable. He fights hard and makes sure you come first. This guy cares. He took on my injury and workmans comp case and made sure everything was taken care of. Any question I asked was answered quick and precise. Less stress and guides you thro...ugh the process. I got paid more than I thought I'd get.

We hired Stephen after a work-related head injury, and he exceeded expectation in every category. He was always on top of things, communicated clearly and professionally throughout, and the settlement was far more than we initially thought possible. Stephen was realistic throughout, never over-hy...ping the situation but always going the extra mile to make sure we got the best result possible. Went above and beyond out expectations and was accessible and accommodating throughout. It was a difficult case and I'm confident that Stephen got us the best result possible.
