Andrew was excellent!!

In my initial consultation with Andrew he listened carefully to my Issue (I was being pressured/threatened to sign a lowball settlement by the workers comp insurance rep). After hearing and reading about my case he was pretty clear that I should get an attorney, even if it wasn't him. I decided to h...ire him right then and it was a great decision. He handled everything from that point on. I never had to speak to the workers comp rep again (saving me a ton of stress). Andrew walked me through everything in my workers comp claim very clearly, from the initial stages through the DIME exams all the way to the final award. He was very honest and never sugar-coated anything about either my chances or the potential vagaries of the process etc. He responded promptly to any questions I had and moved things along as fast as possible despite things being burdened by the COVID slowdowns in the system. He even got the work comp folks to reimburse me for a rental car to get to the DIME and back (as they had picked a DIME doctor 50 miles away from me). In the end I ended up getting about 2 1/2 times the original offer that the insurance folks were trying to strongarm me into signing and did not have to waive all future rights to claim if I am reinjured in the future. I can easily say that hiring Andrew was the best decision I could have made and he got me the absolute best possible outcome.

Mark, I appreciate your comments. I know how hard it is to put your trust in an individual with so much riding on the decision, and I'm happy that I was able to be of service while getting to know you in the process. Thank you!

Exceeded expectations!

I am thankful I found Kaplan Morrell! I worked with Andrew and he was a big help at understanding my rights with workman’s compensation. I had a difficult employer and they kept my spirits up! As soon as I hired Andrew the insurance company and my employer changed their tune. He got me a fair settlem...ent and explained everything I needed to know.

Highly Recommend - Thank you Andrew!

Andrew worked hard to get me what was fair, and exceeded my expectations in doing so! He communicated well via phone call and video call and got things done efficiently. I could not have done it without his help. Thanks Andrew!

Accident Claim

I was rear ended on 6th Ave. and suffered neck and back injuries. I was getting nowhere trying to deal with the other insurance and decided to go with Andrew based on his online reviews. Boy, am I glad I did! Andrew worked with their insurance and my Dr.'s to get me a fair settlement. I never would h...ave got everything covered without Andrew. He was great to work with, kept in touch with the status of my claim and got me paid. Highly recommend Andrew and his firm.

Experienced, Professional, Gracious

Enlisting Andrew’s services was a very, very good decision. I had reached a point in my dealings with our insurance company where I was losing sleep at night, unable to understand how they could be so unreasonable; it finally got to the point that I felt I had no alternative but to seek legal counsel.... My initial meeting with Andrew was very positive; he was patient and articulate, and he helped me understand our situation and our options without pressuring me in any way. I decided to retain his services and from that point on he took care of everything; I could finally relax, knowing that our case was being handled by someone who would do everything possible to make sure that our interests were protected. In the end, our case was resolved VERY much to our satisfaction. I would highly recommend Andrew to anyone who suspects that their insurance company may not be living up to its obligations.
