Workmanship Comp case

He handled my case with professionalism. His knowledge and expertise on workman comp cases is excellent and took my case when many other attorneys declined! Highly recommend.

Posted by Charles | May 31, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Workers Compensation

Excellent Choice

I couldn't have made a better choice in hiring Royce for my Worker's Comp case. Did an outstanding job in both sides of it (lawsuit & comp). He has even continued to to make sure that my medical is taken of, long after the settlement was issued. Dogged & determined, he has made sure that, if I had to... do it all over again, I'd still choose him. His knowledge of opposing counsels & how the judges typically will decide put him over the top.

Cares about the workers rights

Royce did a great job of walking me through the settlement process of my work-related injury. When the insurance company offered to settle my case and walk away, he made sure they had to keep my medicals open so I would get life-time medical care for my injury. Be smart and call Royce!

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
