I was treated respectfully and like I was important. They helped me communicate with workers’ compensation to get a case the right way. They communicated with opposing counsel. A settlement was offered. Ultimately, I settled with workers’ compensation insurance through my work. The settlement was for a good bit more than was originally offered. I am glad I got what I needed to get my injury repaired. Thank you!” –Vickie
