Joann Bussayabuntoon

Joann handled my DBA case when I came home after eight years in Afghanistan with PTSD and severe depression. I had been dealing with my employers’ insurance for six months and couldn’t get any answers from them. I turned to Joann for help. Not only did she fight for me and win, but she was in contac...t with me with words of encouragement all the way. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs assistance with a Defense Base Act case. Thank you, Joann for all you did for me.

As with most overseas contractors, I had no idea of the rights I had after my accident in the Middle East. Hitting rock bottom and knowing you'll never work again hit me hard. With the very first call to MARA LAW FIRM Johann and Cindy started with explaining the Long Shore Act and my DBA case. During... the case I encountered numerous times where I was so confused and worried. That's when I found out Johann was not just working on my case, but she actually cared about me and my case. Johann was with me every step of the way until the completion of my case. She truly is an amazing lawyer and friend. Thank you MARA LAW FIRM you far exceed excellence. Lee

I decided to contact a DBA attorney after a claims adjuster told me that having a bicep reattached was cosmetic surgery. I could not be happier with Joann’s service. I am a medic working in a high threat environment. We work hard, and we train hard. Injuries are not uncommon. When one of my guys gets... injured, I recommend they call Joann.

She is an attorney who sincerely cares about her clients and ensures that she is available to answer any questions or address any issues which may arise during the process. Anyone who has ever filed a DBA case knows that it is not an easy or fast process. Joann stayed in contact with me during the entire case, always willing to listen and reassure me that "she had my back." During the IME, deposition, and litigation events, Joann was with me every step of the way fighting for a successful outcome on my behalf. Joann is very supportive and handles the procedure smoothly. She impressed me not only with her professionalism, but also with the art of communication as an outstanding attorney. There were no challenges that she was not able to defeat and I was successful in winning my case against a powerful insurance company. The world needs more attorneys like Joann.
