If you were injured at work, you need Nick.

When I was injured at work, I was too stubborn and proud to get the help I needed. I did what my company told me to do, tried not to rock the boat, hoping they would fix me up and get me back on the road. I went to their approved doctor, followed all the advice of their case manager, and gritted my t...eeth through the pain until my condition went from bad to worse to permanent. Big mistake. My injury got worse and worse following their advice, and they kept delaying and putting off the recommended treatments. Then a family friend recommended Nick. It was a night and day difference. Immediately, I had better doctors, coaching for going to so-called "independent medical exams," and actual responses from my company when we pushed to resolve my claim. Nick worked tirelessly for me for YEARS to make sure my case got the resolution and compensation the insurance company owed me for ruining my life. I have been disabled for 8 years, and every time they tried to shut off benefits or hire private detectives to stalk me or deny a recommended procedure, Nick was on top of them. The company I worked for and their self-insured insurance company wanted to sweep me under the rug and ride the claim out until I died or went away with my tail between my legs. Nick made sure that didn't happen, and my life can continue now because of his work. My claim has been accepted, my disability checks are coming in like they are supposed to, and I have great medical care. If you are like me: a proud, hard working blue collar person who just happened to fall into a bad set of circumstances, it isn't your fault and you aren't weak for getting the help you need. Nick Pontarolo is the help you need. If you are reading this, I assume you are looking for an injury lawyer. Don't hesitate. Call him as soon as you possibly can, before some insurance company turns you into a number and tries to push your case off until your injuries become permanent. If I could rewind time, I would have called him the same day I got injured, and you should too.

My Lawyer for Life

Nick has represented me in four different cases, both Labor and Industries and Social Security. He is an excellent lawyer. He listened to my issues and worked to get me all my benefits. I will continue to look to Nick for legal advice. He will shoot you straight. He did for me four times. Highly recc...omended.

Very attentive and understanding the client's needs

We appealed the social security disability rejection, Nick collected all relevant information, prepared a very convincing argument supported by participating professionals, presented to judge who approved the appeal at the time of presentation !

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.
