I hired Mr. Kropach for my workers compensation claim about 3 years ago. I was suffering severe pain on my elbow as a result of my job. Mr. Kropach was superb in helping me settle this case. During the entire process, I was receiving medical treatment and he regularly met with me to discuss my case. During my deposition he was extremely supportive and explained to me the entire process which helped me become comfortable. I would highly recommend Mr. Kropach to anyone who needs assistance with a Workers Compensation claim.
I hired Mr. Kropach years ago due to the fact that he was head of the San Fernando Valley Bar Association. After the insurance company denied my claim I thought my case was over but my attorney fought the insurance company all the way to the appellate court and WON. . The judge awarded me retroactive benefits.which saved me from filing bankruptcy. I will forever recommend William Kropach to all of my friends.

They’re a superb law firm!!!
I was injured on the job and they made sure I got the best medical care hat was needed and didn’t let the insurance company try to push bills my way. Lastly, they were able to settle so that I will be taken care of for any medical care that will be needed in the future. They’re by far the best and extremely nice lawyers that care for the client, get the job done, and keep the client informed throughout the entire process—they’re the best!

Recomendation for great results
I have had 2 Worker's Compensation lawsuits handled by Mr. Kropach and Jill Shibata. These lawyers handle all the paperwork for you, keep you informed, are knowledgeable, and friendly. Their office staff is also competent and returns calls or emails. I was completely satisfied with both outcomes.

GREAT WC LAWYERS HERE!
I had 2 other lawyers before this office took over my case. I went for over 2 years with no results.
I needed Lumbar & Cervical surgery, which was delayed and then denied.
This office got me a court hearing right away, where the judge ordered an AME exam.
The AME was fair and handled the exam efficiently
I have now had the 2 operations that I needed and I am on the mend.
They really care about people and get results.
William & Jill are on it!

Got More Than I Expected
I needed big time help with my case as I tried to manage it myself without a good outcome. I tried to avoid hiring a lawyer but boy was I glad I hired Mr. Kropach. I interviewed three lawyers before Bill and I he shined compared to them. The others just wanted to put me on an tread mill of cookie other cookie cutter cases. Bill treated me with care, individuality, and really examined my case carefully. I was immediately impressed with his track record and his dedication to voluntary unpaid community services. This lawyer cares and before I met Bill I thought no lawyer would ever truly care about a client. Its rare. Bill also got me a life time award through a special fund that I had never heard of and no other lawyer I interviewed suggested. Mr Kropach knows is stuff and never gave me any bad advice. If you want honesty and care through a difficult time you need not look any farther.

A Class Act
I have been lucky to have William Kropach handle two different workers' compensation cases in the last several years that exceeded all of my expectations. Not only was Mr. Kropach professional and courteous but he sincerely cared about my well being and made sure I received a settlement in proportion to my injuries. Before I hired an attorney I researched a certified workers' compensation specialist in the area and Mr. Kropach's name continually came up. I recommend his services to anyone who is seriously injured and in need of professional help.

Outstanding Attorney & Staff
I was in a very serious accident in early 2000 and found that Attorney Kropach and his Staff especially his paralegal Jill paid close attention to my case and no matter how many questions I asked they always had time to explain in layman's language what I needed to know. The case was long and drawn out due to numerous injuries, but this attorney never gave up on my case. His expertise in Workmans Compensation enabled him to secure a settlement more than I was expecting.
I would not hesitate to refer him to others.
All I can say is "A Job Well Done and Thank You!"

Highly experienced, compassionate and professional
Workers compensation cases are extremely complex and typically quite frustrating for the injured worker. I should know, because my case extended over five years and included countless surgical procedures. My injury and subsequent WC case was one of the most difficult times in my life–I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy. Throughout the entire ordeal though, Mr. Kropach and Ms. Shibata stood by my side, providing me amazing support. I attribute their experience making the difference in getting my benefits approved and seeing my case resolved to my complete satisfaction–I am truly grateful. Therefore, I would recommend their professional services without hesitation.

I have known Bill for over 25 years. He is personable and very knowledgeable in the area of Workers Comp. My experience during this very stressful time has been excellent. His staff is courteous and efficient and always kept me up to date with my case. Their attention to detail has been exemplary as a client would expect from his attorney. I recommend this attorney to anyone with a workers comp case.

Beware
This attorney does not return calls, does not work on your case, does not properly seal envelopes with highly confidential information. He and his staff were very unprofessional and hostile towards me, (I only met him once), yet he still gets paid.
I hope this review will save someone else from having to go through this - on top of the pain and heartache of having to deal with a serious workers comp injury.

Worthless!
I hired Bill Kropach for my workmans compensation case back in 2007 on the advice of another lawyer. He gets very angry and upset if you ask questions and absolutely never returns phone calls. If you need treatment while your case is being litigated, you might as well pound sand because you will not get a response. It's an extremely helpless feeling to be in pain and not be able to seek treatment. Your workmans comp case worker will no longer talk to you because your lawyer is now the conduit for all of your activity. I also have been waiting for three years to get my deposition done. It has been cancelled 6 times and he get very irritated when I ask him why. I wouldn't want someone else to go through what I did so be wise and go elsewhere for your workers comp needs.
