Hired Attorney 2017-2019Gary R. Fischer took on Goliath and got them to pay, and they paid BIG! Gary helped my family fight a denied Worker’s Comp claim against THE largest store-based retailer (LSBR) after I lost my wife while she was traveling for business. Unfortunately, when I first filed, they denied her, which inevitably turned into an extremely complicated case for Gary and his team, but that didn’t slow them down. They covered every potential direction and every conceivable avenue that LSBR could take in an attempt to shirk off responsibility to my wife as her longtime employer. Thanks to Gary’s due diligence and hard work, the Compensation Commissioner’s 25 page arbitration decision was a HUGE win for us. I would highly recommend Gary R. Fischer and his firm - Simpson, Jensen, Ables, Fischer & Bouslog, P.C. - and I plan to be talking with them again soon regarding a follow up business travel life insurance policy claim that was denied by LSBR as well.

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.
