Excellent Work Comp Attorney
Jim Ochs has helped my family and their co-workers in several work comp cases. He knows how to get the insurance companies to pay for the treatment you need, and he has made the process very smooth and gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Jim.

Do NOT hire this attorney
This attorney was completely unprepared for my divorce trial and it cost me dearly. His questioning of both myself and my former spouse were insufficient. I had numerous questions that I had instructed Jim as my attorney to ask my ex so that the judge could get a clear picture. He said he would use my questions and then did not and did not ask many questions of his own. Not sure how this guy is still in practice. DO NOT HIRE HIM unless you want an unprepared attorney representing you in court. I would classify my representation as NEGLIGENT. I almost fired him during the trial for incompetence. In hindsight, I should have as I would have been better able to represent myself.
