Britton is, simply put, one of the few lawyers I would trust with my own claim if I suffered a Workers' Compensation injury. The usual compliments are accurate, but not nearly sufficient to describe what Britton does in his calling as an attorney for injured workers. If you have been injured and are lucky enough to have Britton accept your case, you'll be taken care of to the fullest extent.
