Worker's Compensation Claim

Thank you very much, Attorney Michael Graham for taking our case to workers' compensation court and winning where other attorneys previously failed. My brother suffered a serious work related injury and his employer's insurance Carrier wrongfully refused to acknowledge his injury. We initiall...y hired a worker's comp. lawyer in Houston who accepted my brother's case, but he had difficulties handling his case with the employer's attorney's and with the workers compensation insurance. The w/c claim was totally disputed. He abruptly dropped our case due to the fact he felt he could not win our case. We next consulted the help of Attorney S. Michael Graham who diligently started preparing our case for a hearing before the workers' compensation commission. With his past and current knowledge of workers' compensation claims and laws he was able to successfully take our case to workers' comp court and win full income and medical benefits. He is an attorney committed to providing his clients with effective and serious legal representation. Again, we want to thank you very much for all your help in winning our workers' compensation claim!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
