A:
You can find reliable reviews of workers' compensation lawyers through trusted legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and your local bar association's referral service. These platforms often include detailed client feedback, peer ratings, and disciplinary records to help inform your decision.
Under California law, attorneys can provide references from previous clients, but only if those clients have given explicit permission to share their information and experiences. Many law firms will ask former clients to voluntarily share testimonials on their websites or review platforms, though they cannot disclose confidential case details without authorization.
The State Bar of California website offers valuable resources for researching attorneys, including their standing with the bar, any disciplinary actions, and whether they carry proper insurance coverage. You might also consider reaching out to local worker advocacy groups or unions, as they often maintain lists of reputable workers' compensation attorneys based on members' experiences and outcomes. Before making your final choice, schedule consultations with several lawyers to discuss your case and evaluate their experience with cases similar to yours.
