Verified ClientHired Attorney 2022-2025“Fierce Thoughtfulness” When something tragic happens, confusion, panic, and indecision set in. I reverted to my life experiences and those who had helped me in the past. Jim Coogan from Coogan & Gallagher Personal Injury Lawyers had worked on a prior workers' compensation case that resulted in a great outcome. When I got injured at my workplace, I knew who to call. Jim Coogan didn’t waste any time getting everything in place to assist me medically, mentally, and physically with my care. Anyone going through a tragic incident needs to find a Lawyer who works tirelessly for their clients. I was amazed by Jim's depth and professionalism regarding my injury. The medical and legal technical terminology that Jim helped me understand during my injury made it less stressful and understandable. Jim helped me develop a treatment plan that can achieve an optimal near-normal result before my injury. Keeping the communications between my employer and the medical services was paramount. One of the benefits of Jim’s services is making sure my medical services are not interrupted. Walking through the explanation of all the exams concerning my injury. During the difficult time of preparation for the court case, depositions, and dealing with defendants. Placed me at ease about what was going to happen. The explanation I have given doesn’t explain the passion and zeal Jim Coogan has shown throughout the time of my legal case. Jim has met all emotional, professional, and personal needs during my case. Making sure all the questions were asked, and the legal option was checked. I would always seek Jim Coogan's counsel concerning any legal matter in the future.
