Great lawyer that can help you get the best care possible in this system

Jeremy is a reliable and empathetic lawyer. Dealing with a worker compensation case is a very stressful and scary experience, and Jeremy was an essential to helping me navigate the system to get the best care possible and outcome for my case. Having worked on both sides of workers comp, Jeremy is k...nowledgable about medical providers, attorneys, and adjusters which is essential to getting care successfully within workers comp. His early and timely recommendation to choose my workers comp doctor, led to me having an unusually high amount of authorizations for medical care which meant I was able to get most of the medical care my doctors recommended (even if there were long delays at times which is common in this system). At the start of my injury, I couldn't turn a door knob without pain or open some doors without pushing them open with my hips. Now, I can hold my whole body weight on one hand. He did what good lawyers do; be responsive to calls, on top of deadlines, be timely with filing paperwork/other court injunctions, and able to adequately prepare me for a deposition, and explain legal proceedings clearly and effectively. However, more importantly Jeremey is empathetic, understanding, and a good communicator. While all these characteristics might not be what you might typically think of as making a good lawyer, after experiencing them with Jeremy, I believe they are essential in a good worker compensation lawyer. The workers compensation process is long, drawn out, confusing, and I think many who've gone through it would agree- it's traumatic. Tough decisions were thrown my way and painful experiences needed to be rehashed over and over and new challenging experiences and confusing things happened because of this process. Having an empathetic human being on your team, who can also clear up misunderstandings that might happen is paramount so you can work as a team for the best outcomes of your case together. On top of that, he personable, fun and interesting to talk to! If you are considering working with Jeremy, I think you would be lucky to have him as your lawyer. I highly recommend him and I'm glad that I chose to work with him.

Changed my mind about lawyers

Jeremy was recommended by a lawyer on AVVO who I did not know and nobody recommended to me. In other words, I went into this not knowing who I was dealing with. To make matters more complicated, we had recently moved from San Diego to Virginia and had no way of meeting him. We conducted all business ...through email and phone. Jeremy explained the process thoroughly and kept in touch every step of the way. He negotiated with the insurance company in good faith and was able to increase our settlement. He also overcame a last minute bureaucratic venue change by working with the insurance company and another lawyer in San Diego, getting a Judge's approval in days versus a possible 6 to 8 week delay. Jeremy was not only professional, but always made my wife and I feel like he was someone we could trust. Someone who went the extra mile to help us. I am very cynical went it comes to the law profession and watching recent events in congress hasn't helped. Jeremy may not have restored my faith in the profession, but he has proven that there are honest, hard working lawyers out there you can count on to do their job. Thanks again Jeremy for your due diligence and sincere effort to get the best results for my wife's case. I would highly recommend you to anyone and hope one day to shake your hand.

"Jeremy's background working at several large defense workers' compensation firms has given him an inside look at the tactics that insurance companies use against injured workers. Now, on the side of the injured worker, Jeremy can use his experience to more effectively stand up for the rights of California's injured workers!"

"Jeremy is an excellent attorney who works hard to resolve cases in the best possible manner for all those involved. All too often attorneys get stuck on small issues that cause nothing but delay and litigation--Jeremy, unlike those layers--sees the big picture and gets it done."
