Verified ClientHired Attorney 2019-2025Shout out to Attorney Brad Reynolds! Brad took on my workers' compensation case and went above and beyond for me and my family throughout the entire process. From day one, he fought hard to ensure all of my medical bills were paid and my TTD (Temporary Total Disability) payments were made on time. What really stood out was how often Brad would call or email to keep me updated at every stage of the case. Sometimes, he would just check in to see how I was doing—and that meant a lot to me and my family. Brad is a truly exceptional attorney. He was always responsive, professional, and dedicated. He took the time to explain the process clearly and made sure I understood what to expect. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly cares about his clients. Brad went out of his way to make sure every aspect of my care and needs were addressed. He treated me and my family with kindness and respect, and he worked tirelessly to make sure we were taken care of. Thank you, Brad, for all your hard work, your time, and the commitment you showed to my case. I can't express enough how grateful we are. With Gratitude, Lance Thruman and family

Verified ClientHired Attorney 2020-2021Brad was most helpful with filing for disability. Although he recommended I first try on my own, I opted to have him assist and it resulted in an approval on his first application. I feel his knowledge of how complete and specific information should be, was most instrumental in the success. Besides his thorough knowledge, he makes sure to explain everything plainly, so that I understood the process. His staff was always available if I called with any questions.

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.
