Work Place Injury Settlement

Chris Heim will get the job done! I had a work place injury. Chris informed me of my rights. He knows his speciality very well and is always watching out to protect his client. He is very fair on his pricing, with no up front costs and a 15% of whatever the settlement is. I would highly recommend Chr...is Heim. He is trustworthy, patient and puts his client first.

Excellent Choice

Definite great choice for handling work compensation disputes, was upfront on expectations, options and goals. Was on the job on day one of being retained and handled my dispute with the insurance company promptly an settled my issues by the goals I was reaching for. I would absolutely refer him to a...nyone that needs prompt & professional representation.

Law Office Gets The Job Done!!

I got injured last July 2014 and my friends told me it would be best to hire a lawyer to walk me thru workers comp, since this is my first work related injury. I went online and found Kaeni Law Office. Maria immediately came to answer all my questions and made me feel really comfortable. If they are ...not available via phone, they do respond quickly via email. I didn't expect to settle so fast. Only took 6 months and Chris called me to let me know about the settlement. Because of Chris, Maria, and the rest of the law group, they helped me win my case and now Im with the best therapy group and my achilles is slowing healing! They will always be a part of my life because they cared about my health.
