Good Attorney for my Workers Compensation Case
I hired Mr. Abbott and Mr. Clay from this law firm to help me with a workers compensation case. I had never hired an attorney before and they made the process very easy. I was able to focus on my life while he took care of my case. Overall the process was longer than I expected but I was happy with the winning outcome. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a workers compensation attorney.

Good Attorney
I worked with William Abbott on a workers compensation case last year. Overall I was very impressed with the way he handled the case and was very happy about the successful outcome of the case as well.

Good Guy
I have got to say working with Mr. Abbott was different than others lawyers I have delt with in the past. He doesn't act flashy and he always calls me back, even though it may take him a day to call, he always did. When I came to him I wasn't getting comp like I should and we had to go to a hearing. A few weeks later I got a big check for all my back pay and mileage and reimbursement for medicine. And that was after the insurance company said I wasn't even hurt on the job! But Mr. Abbott proved it in court. This all happened just a few months ago and I'm almost ready to go back to work now. I want to thank Mr. Abbott for knowing all about my case and helping me when I needed it.

They Helped me with my case
I worked with Mr. Abbott when I needed a workers compensation attorney a few years ago. Overall I had a good experience with the firm and the attorneys at the firm. Although I hope nobody ever has to experience what I went through with my employer, hiring Mr. Abbott is a good step in the right direction.
