I have handled thousands of workers compensation cases. I have handled a large number of cases for coal miners and iron workers. My family were UMWA members and I am very familiar with coal mining. I have had several cases before the Appellate Court and have obtained millions for my clients.

Great attorney

Mr Kirkpatrick was hired for our case when our previous attorney had failed to do anything for us. Within 2 weeks he had done more for our case than the other attorney had done in a years time. He is very professional and knows what he is doing. I would recommend mr Kirkpatrick to anyone who needs an... aggressive no holds barred attorney to get the job done. We are very satisfied with what he has done for us.

Understanding & Supportive

Eric has a demeanor about him that will make you feel comfortable from the moment you meet. The entire team at the Kirkpatrick Law firm understands the offsets and struggle we face in the troubled life changing events we encounter. When you make your first appointment, you can feel confident that the... man sitting across the table from you will have your back throughout the thick and thin of your life's setbacks. Be assured that Eric and his team will go to bat for you to make sure you are treated fairly. I am 100% satisfied with Hiring the Kirkpatrick Law firm.

Mr. Kirkpatrick represented me on two separate workman’s compensation cases. My experience with him could not have gone better. He took the fear out of dealing with the doctors and insurance companies. He went above and beyond to take care of me. His office staff is diligent and knowledgeable. I have... referred family and friends to him and they have had equal experiences. I highly recommend him. -Jay Bauer

Amazing Attorney!

I’ve never felt more taken care of than I have with Kirkpatrick Law Office. From the receptionist, to the paralegal & Eric himself, you will never meet a more compassionate, friendly & professional group of people. Any time I felt unsure about something or had a question they were right there with a ...calm voice, reassuring words & prompt actions. If you want the best then Eric’s your guy!

  • 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.
