You Can't Go Wrong
I strongly recommend Michael Kaplan of Kaplan Morrell, for any workers compensation issue. The company I was involved with put forward an incredibly low settlement offer, and Mr. Kaplan, recognizing this, went to work to get a fair settlement. The settlement he negotiated was 4 times more than their ...

Michael Kaplan is Awesome!!!
I was referred to Michael Kaplan for an injury I sustained at work back in March. From the first phone call I had with Tammy, Michael's Senior Paralegal, I felt as though all my needs and concerns regarding my injury were of the upmost importance. Both Michael and Tammy operated very professionally a...

"I have worked with Mr. Morrell for many years. Mr. Morrell is an excellent workers' compensation attorney. He knows the law and aggressively represents his clients best interests. I recommend Mr. Morrell for anyone needing assistance on a workers' compensation claim."
"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."
"I've known Mr. Morrell professionally and personally for many years. He is extremely thorough and competent and takes great pains to explain the process to those unfortunate enough to need to navigate it. I give him my highest endorsement."
