Excellent Workers Comp Lawyer

Lawyer Graham was amazing to work with. He contacted me the same day I inquired about hiring a lawyer. He explained all of the steps we’d have to take in order to try and win my case since I know nothing about law. The judge said my case was more compelling than workers comp so he definitely did an a...mazing job. I won and I’m happy to finally be done with all the legal stuff. I’d 100% recommend him to anyone struggling with workers comp.

Top Notch Workers Compensation - Attorney Mr. Michael Graham

I had a fall at my employer during the winter storm, February 11, 2021. They had never encountered a work-related injury. I was the first unfortunately. I received some push back and some run around from the insurance company to assist me in getting help for my injury. I shared my dismay with one ...of my best friends. He reached out to his tax preparer and a few days later, she provided him with Attorney Michael Graham's contact information. I phoned Attorney Graham and shared with him my issue. He emailed me the forms to complete and asked me to contact the workers compensation office to ensure my issue was on record. Thereafter, he asked I phone him back. I guess I took a while to phone him back, he phoned me, to inquire how my documentation completion process was going and if I reached the workers compensation office. I was blown away with him calling me back to ensure I was doing my part to get the necessary information for him to view and proceed in representing me. Thereafter, Attorney Graham when to work for me. Why should Attorney Graham represent you? Truly, truly a Professional Straight talk Return telephone calls and answered emails Had my back and displayed my best interest at hand I was so impressed, he operated his own office single handedly Everything changed positively once Attorney Graham begin communicating with the insurance company Post surgery, no gaps in insurance payments weekly No surprises Met and Exceeded All of My Expectations Thanks a Million Attorney Graham!!

He helped ease my worries and explained the steps involved. I was very confused at first because I had never been through something like this.
