Amazing attorney

I hired Mr. Arguello to handle my workers compensation case. I was severely injured while on the job. I worked very hard to be successful. The injury, I felt ruined my life. It seemed the insurance company was attempting to shirk their responsibilities and get out of helping me. Mr. Arguello ...came highly recommended by other attorneys. They said "he is the best in Nevada". During the consultation I learned he worked for the Workers Comp. Board, insurance companies and now on he behalf of injured workers. So I hired him on the spot. It was evident he knew the system well. His knowledge and expertise resulted in the Workers Comp board finding in our favor; therefore, directing the insurance company to reverse their first determination which was to deny my claim. Mr Arguello and his staff are absolute "Amazing". The injury I received ruined my life and Mr. Arguello was very compassionate and worked very diligently to ensure the proper outcome. I had talked to other attorneys before hiring Mr. Arguello and they did not appear to know even half of what He knew. Javier saved my life and now I am at ease because I know my medical needs will be taken care of and I will have enough income to survive. Javier Arguello is the only Workers Compensation attorney that i would recommend to others. His expertise in this field is far above the rest of the Attorneys in Las Vegas. If your hurt at work I recommend at the least you set up a consult with Javier. im sure if you do you will hire him.

Workers Comp case

Javier worked on my work comp case for almost 3 years with a lot of appeals. He did an awesome job. He got my case reopened and my medical condition repaired to make quality of life good again. Javier was very personable and answered all my questions immediately. He is a very knowledgeable Lawyer.... A job very well done!

HE CAME THROUGH when no one else would

After I was injured on the job, I met with 4 different Law Firms, very large, reputable firms you hear on the radio. The first 3 consultations were hopeless as they walked me to the door and said I didn't have a case; they couldn't do anything for me! Quite discouraging as I limped away on crutches.... Thankfully my brother referred me to Javier. Our meeting went well and he assured me we had a case. Workers comp doctors were NOT on my side, they all treated me like the criminal, not the victim. Javier was on my side the whole way. He had much better doctors look over me, and he got the job done. About a year and a half after the injury, I received a phone call saying we had a settlement coming. A few months later, I met with him to pick up my settlement check! I will forever be grateful to Javier and Patty... your work is appreciated. Thank you!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JAVIER

Thoughts of our first class attorney

Javier was very patient in explain everything and making sure all our questions and cobcerns were addressed. He took all the worry and concerns as he dealt with everything on our behalf. If one make an attorney wish list he would be the one to choose in every regard. We trust him implicitly in our le...gal matters.

Premier Attorney

When I first met Mr. Arguello, I didn't know what to expect because this was the first time that anything like this has ever happened to me. He was always straight to the point and never beat around the bush. Mr. Arguello was a stand up professional and always reassured me that even though it is a ...long process he would always do what is best for me. His concern and focus was making sure that everything was being done for the sake of my well being. His staff followed suit right behind him. Eva, would always call me with updates and reminders making sure that I would not miss my appointments and if I needed to reschedule she would do so for me. She surpassed the expectation that I would have for anyone in her position to do as she did, making sure I was being treated properly and in a timely fashion. Very professional these two individuals are. I would recommend them to anyone I know. Thank you for the support and all of your hard work because I know I was not very pleasant to deal with at times. Thanks again.
