Workers' Compensation

Recommends this Attorney

McGrail and staff were excellent from the very start for my workers comp case. I called shortly after my work injury because I was pretty much lost and scared as to what would happen next. They started by giving me free advice and laying out expectations as far as timelines and treatment were concerned. Afterwards they told me that if my dealings/treatment with my worker’s comp agency got to a certain point, to call them back and they would represent me. Sure enough, that time came, and I wasn't getting approved for surgery that was needed (and recommend by the doctors that workers comp had sent me to), so I called them back and they were right on the case. From that point until my settlement, they were nothing but kind, prompt, and (importantly) honest. With an attorney behind me, procedures and appointments were getting done more promptly and communication with workers comp now went through their office, so my stress levels went down a ton. When it came time for the settlement, McGrail laid out the numbers for me, told me the chances based on his previous cases and in the end left it up to me to make the final decision on the settlement amount. Attorney’s payment for workers comp cases come straight out of the settlement amount so there was no stress as far as wondering how I would pay him. I could not recommend McGrail more. Just give him a call and I promise that right away you will be put at ease! They are now counted among my friends and I am forever grateful for the help they provided me.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
