Susan Lavian

Initially, I started handling my worker's compensation case myself. Although I have almost two decades of case management in my professional background, this case was too close and personal and quite frankly, too exhausting to handle on my own. After loads of legal paperwork, as well as, the frustrat...ion of not receiving the appropriate rehabilitative care, I gave up trying to handle the case myself. I found Susan in an online Internet search. What made me want to hire her was that she indicated she was ethical, had many years of experience in Worker's Compensation cases and has served as a Pro-tem Judge for Worker's Compensation cases. As soon as Susan took over my case, she proved to be the lighthouse in the storm. Her professionalism, direction and calm demeanor allowed me to trust and let go of handling the case and concentrate on getting better. She also fought for all the benefits I was entitled to receive. My case recently settled, thanks to Susan. Looking back in hind-sight, I realize there were so many legal aspects to handling timelines and tons of paperwork in a Worker's Compensation case, that it really puts an injured worker at a disadvantage, when they are already at a disadvantage after being injured. The help of a caring, professional attorney on my side made a world of difference in my case. I now know why the Worker's Compensation claims adjuster, initially assigned to my case, didn't want me to get an attorney when I mentioned that I was seeking one out. Susan is an exceptional, ethical, consummate professional and her many years of experience proved to be evident in the handling of my case. I am beyond grateful to her for helping me get the care and benefits I needed, and for settling my case beyond my satisfaction, as now I can move on from the injury and positively move forward in my life.
