Great negotiator

Mr. Cleveland did a superb job of negotiating the settlement,with an insurance company,that was horrible about doing anything from the very start of my workers comp claim. He paid close attention to my complaints,& addressed them to resolve my claim better than expected. I wouldn't hesitate to reco...mmend his firm to anyone looking for counsel.

Got things done!

After getting a lesson in the actions of insurance companies. I found Mr. Cleveland on the internet. After he took my case. They started working straight away. I had very little understanding of the situation I was in. It was all explained in just enough detail to get a good understanding of the proc...ess. I found that by using email for questions and communications. I could go back and read details. Made things easier. The staff was very attentive and knowledgeable. Very fast to respond to questions. They also got quick results from the insurance company. The insurance company all but ignored me. It was a highly stressful time for me The staff there took care of everything from doctors to any appointments and places I needed to be. All my emails were answered in a very timely manner. With specific answers in detail. If you are thinking about calling? Go ahead and do it. These folks know what they are doing!

MY Comp case

My workers compensation case has finally settled. From the beginning, Mr. Cleveland was with me every step of the way. The insurance company was a constant problem denying my treatment and refusing to pay my benefits. Mr. Cleveland went to court several times and got me a result. I highly recommend h...im.

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Charles Cleveland for nearly 20 years and remain extremely impressed with his dedication to fighting for those injured on the job. He volunteers countless hours for the California Applicants' Attorney's Association in an effort to improve the rights and lives of all injured workers across the state of California. Charles is always on top of the latest advancements in the law and shares his knowledge freely with his comrades in the field. Charles would never allow an insurance company to take advantage of one of his clients--he is a fighter and one would never need to wonder if he is fighting tirelessly for them--he is. I endorse Charles wholeheartedly!"
