Possible scam

I filled out an online inquiry. A lady called me back a few days later from some random number. She got all my personal information then hung up on me. I called their office line back multiple times and left 5 voicemails. No return call. The next day the same lady calls me back and gets more informat...ion from me and hangs up again and doesn’t answer the phone call back. Their address is also incorrect. Feels like a phishing scam. Be ware.

Excellent experience!

Jane Oatman treated my case with tremendous consideration, patience, and professionalism. She immediately took control of my overwhelming circumstances and consistently communicated with me throughout the entire litigation process. Jane helped expedite the progress of my case whenever possible. I fe...lt like I was in good hands from the moment I met her, and was very pleased with the settlement at the end.

Best Attorney you’ll ever find!!!

I was fighting with my county to prove my disability retirement. They kept denying me every time. I spent weeks looking for an attorney that knew how to deal with my case. Bless God, I came across Jane Oatman. Jane knows her stuff. Jane fought for me through the entire process. Her staff, Kate ...and Laura were always there to answer my questions. Thanks to Jane, I won my case!! I would have never won without Jane. If you want to win, Jane is extremely knowledgeable and knows her stuff. Thanks Jane Oatman!

Awesome representation

Jane handled my disability retirement case from beginning to end. Her assistant Laura always answered my phone calls and any questions I had promptly. They are very friendly. I was especially grateful that she knew to apply for a year’s worth of back pay, which greatly enhanced my settlement. I now... collect substantially more in my monthly retirement check than I would have without their professional knowledge and experience. No one should ever try to navigate a retirement claim on their own.

Disability Claim

It has been 12 years since my accident and subsequent denial of my disability claim. I was at the end of my rope and didn’t know where to turn. A police officer friend of mine suggested I call Jane Oatman. Best advice I’ve ever received. I still remember my first meeting with her. She exuded con...fidence and compassion and I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that she knew what she was talking about. If you want someone who is truly on your side and will fight for you and what is right, Jane Oatman is for you. You will always know where you stand and know what to expect next. Thankfully I no longer need her expertise but if the need should ever arise, I would not hesitate to retain her services again.
