“Rob Usry was recommended to me by a friend after I was in a work-related accident. He and his staff made the process of dealing with workman’s comp easy and painless. All of the tedious, time- consuming work was dealt with efficiently, enabling me to get back to my life. The whole thing went much faster than I anticipated, and I ended up with a much larger settlement than I ever expected. If I am ever in need of legal representation again, he will be the first and only call I make.”

Mr. Usry was very pleasant to work with when my circumstances were not the best. I believe he is trustworthy and honest in his dealings and kind and compassionate to those he interacts with. He even understood my having to adjust my appointment due to the loss of my mother-in-law. I appreciate his integrity and knowledge.”
