Highly Recommend

If you are looking for a lawyer to help with your Workman's Comp claim, I would highly recommend Cliff Eley. I have consulted with Cliff for the past year on my claim and he was always very responsive (even on weekends), clear, and extremely knowledgeable. He would provide me with direct answers to... my questions, providing both the pros and cons to the various concerns. I will definitely use him again if any issues arise. He is very easy to talk with, not intimidating. He helped me through the process of negotiating a settlement agreement and will also review the Final Admission document when received to ensure my interests are protected.

Best Decision, Hiring Cliff Eley

I was hurt on the job and wasn't sure if I should hire a lawyer or not. After speaking to some co-workers it seemed that I may not get a fair shake from my employers regarding the injury. I contacted Cliff and much to my surprise he answered the phone personally on an early Monday morning. Strange, I... thought that a lawyer would be answering his own phone. But, after meeting with Cliff, I came to understand that this is the type of personal service that you can come to expect from Cliff and his staff. After getting some treatment towards the injury, suddenly the insurance company was refusing my claim. Cliff kept digging for information and we were headed for a hearing when he called me and found that they insurance company had somehow been given disinformation about my claim. Cliff resolved the situation with the insurance company and it's legal staff and we were not required to attend a hearing and I was reinstated for continuing medical treatment to try to resolve the injury problem. I travel quite a bit, sometimes working long hours and I would be surprised when I would receive a call on the weekends from Cliff, giving me an update or letting me know if I had to come by and sign paperwork, etc. If I had not hired Cliff, I would not have had the resources or the knowledge to combat the misinformation that the insurance company was using to deny my claim. Cliff is always there if I need him and has protected and advised me through his expertise in the workers compensation world. Best decision I made.......hiring Clifford Eley. I would recommend Cliff in a heartbeat!

Injured flight attendant-thank you Cliff Eley

I was injured while on duty while working as a flight attendant in Colorado. After my injury I had to return to my home in Orlando. Due to my injury I am unable to return to this line of work and was having a very difficult time getting my employer to assist with medical care as well as financial c...ompensation. I searched for an attorney online as I needed a Colorado attorney and was living in Florida. I found Cliff Eley online and called his number after reading his reviews from previous clients. He immediately responded to my call personally. Not only did he explain workers comp law to me in a language I could understand but offered his assistance at no cost to me until my case was settled. Cliffs' explanation of workers comp law and realistic expectations of what resolve there would be of my case gained my trust and confidence in his professional assistance and capabilities. Any time I've had a question or concern Cliff has always responded immediately and has always corresponded with me personally. I truly feel Cliff has my best interest at heart. His knowledge of the workers comp law & genuine interst in helping me with my injury and getting back on my feet has meant a lot to me and my family. I would definitely recommend Clifford Eley if you have been injured on the job and need help getting through the financial difficulties that come with being out of work from a work related injury. My case is still open, yet Cliff made it possible for me to recieve over $3000 which will help me make it through a couple more months and the holidays. Again, thank you Cliff Eley for your professional services, integrity, and helping me to get through this little set back in my life.

Amazingly Impressive Attorney for Workers Comp Cases!

You can't ask for more when it comes to knowledge of workers compensation, I don't think there is anyone more qualified and experienced. I have had a unique case to say the least that has lasted years and there hasn't been an occasion when Cliff was not able to come through. Best of all he is a strai...ght-shooter who does not in any way look to help himself first. His first comment to me once I explained my case was- "you can go to anyone if your looking for a payout, but if you're looking to solve your injury problems then I think I can help you." Every lawyer I spoke to in advance of Cliff never even asked me if I'd like to get my situation resolved. They all began by saying that they could probably get me X amount of money. What help is that when you need to get workers comp insurance to cover the costs of surgeries? Cliff pointed out to me that a lump sum of money might sound good to people, but how long will that money last if you have to pay for your own surgeries and Dr. visits. That money would be gone quick and what about follow-ups, or future issues? Not any of the other lawyers had me even consider this. Cliff could take his percentage of your settlement, but his true concern was more about your well being. He actually cares about his clients and their well being. Surely other lawyers are concerned their cut of your settlement and that is why they want you to know how much money they can get you. If you're looking for a payout go with any schmoe. If you are looking for results and someone who knows which doctors are in the pocket of insurance companies and which are in it to help people, go with Cliff Eley. I promise you that you will not go wrong. I am always amazed at the amount of time and effort he gives my case. You can't go wrong.

"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."
