Thomas Every Cady

As a fellow trial lawyer, Tom Cady is my "GO-TO" resource for Workers Compensation in the Quad Cities. He is ethical, hard-working and bright. I give him my highest recommendation.

T. Cady took my work comp case, and in my eyes, he botched the hell out of it. He would not follow up on a contemp of court against the company I worked for for not releasing my employee file, would not go toe to toe with the insurance company on anything (he let them dictate the pace and outcome of everything). It was honestly like he was working for the insurance company, not me. He told me we were going to take the minimum award offer from the insurance company because he didn't want the "hassle of taking it to trial", and if I didn't like it I could find a new lawyer AFTER I PAID HIM! He promised the moon when i hired him, and once the paperwork was signed, he ignored me, wouldn't return calls for weeks, and when he did, I would get lawereese gobblity-gook, that upon translation was nothing. I got all of the medical paperwork, therapy reports, doctors notes, etc.. and he still took funds from my settlement for supposed reports and notes that were not done. (Upon completion of my case I requested and recieved a complete copy of all paperwork associated to my case, the only reports or paperwork in that file were ones that I got, and delivered to them). I wont go so far as to call Mr Cady incompetent, lazy, or a shill for the insurance company, but it sure felt that way on my end. I would definately NOT recomend him as a work comp lawyer to any friends or family.
