About Steven
Biography
I served as a worker's compensation judge for many years, so I have a very different perspective than all other worker's compensation attorneys. During my years as a judge, I learned exactly what type of evidence I need to present to the judge to win your case. I've seen what type of evidence wins cases, and what type of evidence falls short and results in the case being lost. Let me help you win your case.
I have a very good relationship with the claims adjusters who are on the other side of your case. Since they know me well, they know that I am not afraid to go to court if they do not give you the benefits that you deserve. This usually results in my clients getting all of the benefits that they are entitled to under the law, often without having to go to court at all.
Workers compensation is a very complicated field of the law, with many critical time deadlines. Once you hire me, I will file all of the necessary paperwork ON TIME, and I will make sure that all of your rights are protected.
Call me today on my cell phone for a free consultation to find out what your case is worth. I will answer any questions that you have and discuss your case with you. Call now, before your rights are lost forever!!
