Posted by Michele | September 09, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Workers Compensation

Ms

Attorney Comfort helped me to recover a large portion of worker’s compensation that had been denied to me. I greatly appreciate her expertise, professionalism, kindness and understanding. She is truly a champion of disadvantaged workers and I would highly recommend her for those in need of help in re...covering losses in worker’s compensation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
