Very appreciative

In May of 2011 I had what I thought was a minor workplace accident. It turned out that it was not minor. I n the beginning the insurance company was very co-operative and forthcoming. As time progressed they got harder and harder .to deal with. Eventually I called Shawn Murray to ask about my ri...ghts and other questions. He was generous with his extensive knowledge and advice. After a while I just got so frustrated with the insurance company and the constant change of adjuster's (about 10 changes, no exaggeration!), that I decided to retain a lawyer, so of course I called Shawn. I know he had his trials with the insurance company, too, but I no longer had to deal with them directly, for which I was grateful for. Eventually we had to file a lawsuit which of course, got the attention of the insurance company! After over 3 1/2 years Shawn was able to negotiate a modest cash indemnity settlement that left the company but left the related medical coverage wide open for the rest of my life! I would not hesitate to recommend Shawn and his great Assistant Donna. They were always professional, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.

Wonderful person to have represent you

Very understanding of my case and I was constantly kept informed of all updates. He returned all my calls in a very timely manner and was able to answer all questions that I had. I would not hesitate to recomend him to anyone. Going through a long process with workmen comp he (Shawn) kept the pressu...re on the insurance company and never gave up.

Best of the Best

I retained Mr Murray two years ago following an employment injury. He explained all matters of my case in a way I could understand. Before retaining Mr Murray the workers compensation firm representing my former employer was taking their time in approving my medical treatment. After hiring Mr Murray... he made sure they authorized treatments in the time allotted per the law. Throughout my case which lasted over two years he and his staff always kept me informed of the progress of my case and what should be expected at each stage. He and his staff always took their time in answering any questions I had and made me feel my healthcare needs were first priority. He is highly knowledgeable of the law and I appreciate all he and his staff did to resolve my case. If you need a workers compensation attorney don't hesitate to contact Shawn Murray.

Professional, Compassionate and Effective

I approached Mr. Murray after suffering a career ending knee injury at work. I was being given the run around by the insurance company and treated with disrespect. Mr. Murray took my case and what a difference! He handled everything with the utmost professionalism, I was never left guessing. He alw...ays took the time to explain everything to me every step of the way and helped me achieve the best results and treatment. Mr. Murray and his staff are caring and knowledgeable, and are held in my highest regards. I recommend him highly to anyone who is seeking highly skilled and passionate representation.

Work injury

After 2 months of helpful consult with Mr. Murray, I decided it was in my best interest to have actual representation. I was hoping to avoid a fallout with my employer with whom I felt I was being run around by. It got overwhelming and once I finally had someone in my corner that knew the game the ...doctors and insurance company was playing, I could feel the load lift. Mr. Murray has constantly kept me informed in the process and I honestly can not speak highly enough of the services he has provided in the last 2 years. Without him assuring me of the process and what to expect I would have most likely caved or given up by now. He put me in touch with doctors that supported me and we're interested in my rehab more than my employer's interests in me working. It has been a long road, but again, with Mr. Murray's assurances I feel confident that the course things have followed are in my best interest. Thank you very much Shawn, any legal advice I have need for in the future will be consulted with you first.
