Relax and Let Cliff Do The Work!

Cliff Eley is extremely knowledgeable in the workman's compensation field. He is very specialized. I tend to be a very panicked person in financial stress, and Cliff took care of my very stressful WC case. This was one of the most difficult times in my life, dealing simultaneously with injury, an ...inability to work, and financial stress, and Cliff took care of everything! There was very little effort required on my part. Also, I preferred to communicate via email during the months we worked together. I was always impressed when he would exchange emails with me even late at night and on the weekends! In fact, he let me know right away when my case was resolved at 11pm at night! Also in court, he was impressive, professional, and prepared. He also prepared me well for my testimony and questioning. I wish I could have filmed our "slam dunk" in court.

Fights the fight so you won't have to.

After being in a battle with the workers compensation of my company I felt that I was fighting a losing battle. The bills were stacking up and they refused to help or even listen to reason. I was beating my head against a wall trying to work with them and decided to go to Cliff for help. Once he h...ad taken the case all of the minor irritations were gone and he streamlined the process as much as he could. He made sure that everything was well explained to me at all times and fought in my corner for me so that I wouldn't have to anymore. I would recommend him to anyone that is dealing with a problem in the Workers Compensation field. Hes quick, effective, and extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy.

Cliff Eley

I would highly recommend Mr. Cliff Eley for all of your workers compensation needs. He is very knowledgeable and always takes time to answer any questions I have. I had a very tough case and Mr. Eley was successful in court. I am very impressed by how hard Mr. Eley works to get issues resolved as qui...ckly as possible. He is personable, honest and truly cares for his clients.

"Mr. Eley is one of the smartest and most effective lawyers I know. He has the unique ability to resolve cases quickly and get great results for his clients. His ability to resolve cases quickly and get great results is based on the fact that he is always well prepared and a great trial lawyer if the matter cannot be settled prior to trial. I highly recommend Mr. Eley."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Mr. Eley for many years, and we have represented clients on different sides in workers' compensation claims. Mr. Eley is a zealous advocate for his clients, but always is respectful and trustworthy in our cases. Mr. Eley is also a worthy adversary at trial, and presents a very disciplined and persuasive case. He makes any defense counsel be on his/her toes. Yet, Mr. Eley is able to work in a collaborative way to resolve issues that should be resolved without having to go to trial. I highly recommend Mr. Eley."
