“I was a 48-year old window washer when I fell seven stories, shattering my feet, ankles, legs and hips. I made the mistake of trusting the insurance company, and later not interviewing lawyers before selecting Stanford Law Offices, S.C. After hiring Stanford Law Offices, we worked as a team in putting the case back on track and recovering not only my lost wages, permanent disability, but my loss of future earnings over the balance of my life. I was able to recover sufficient funds in order to start up my new company, and at the same time, meet my monthly expenses. There is no question interviewing lawyers certainly paid off, and I would suggest hiring Stanford Law Offices for all of your Worker’s Compensation needs.”

Peter and I worked together in putting together a claim against the Uninsured Employer’s Fund.

Stanford Law Offices provided me with an education, gave me a “second chance” in the labor market and held my family together. I cannot thank them enough.”

Because I never thought of having to pursue a Worker’s Compensation claim, I did not understand the benefits under the Worker’s Compensation Act. Unfortunately, I trusted the insurance company and my employer to educate me and help me through the Worker’s Compensation Act. I could not have been more wrong.
After three trials, the insurance company was ordered to accommodate my home in order to meet my physical disabilities, and later, provide sufficient funds in order to me to move to a better place for me to live. While I will never return to the labor market, I know I have sufficient funds in order to live the balance of my life with a sense of pride and dignity. I cannot thank Stanford Law Offices enough.”
