Q: Need Workmen Compensation Attorney for Morris County, NJ
I have an existing Workmen Compensation Claim.
During the process of the W.C. Claim, I found a Disability Attorney, and we had a simple exchange with him securing me full Disability on his initial submission.
Unfortunately, I had two very bad W.C. Attorneys (who were different from the Disability Attorney), with the 1st attorney being bad, and the next (referral) attorney was even worse.
A few weeks a go, I went before the W.C. Judge in Morris County on my own and without representation, and with a good rapport with the judge, he made an order whereby both of my previous attorneys had released their representation and waived all of their fees!
Now, with the W.C. Claim about 60% complete with no debt due to any other legal representatives, I want to secure a good trial attorney!
I had damaged my knee (Meniscus Tear), lower back (Herniated Disc - Lumbar) and shoulder (Shoulder Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy) with a slip and fall at work.
I was awarded a Reverse shoulder operation

The WC judge was kind to clear the slate for you!!
You should select a new attorney based upon their experience and their reviews.
You can select an attorney from anywhere in the state as 99% of WC is done remotely now, except for trials.
