Hear from a recent client…
“If you’ve started reading this, see it through. Obviously, you or someone you know was hurt while working and you need help. I’ll tell you like it is. You need an expert. Mr Shoen IS that expert. I found myself in a fight for existence . My case was complicated and I was afraid he would toss out those 3 little letters, SOL. You know “Seek other lawyers.” I know you was thinkin I’m **** outta luck. Not so! I’ve a pocketful of bad luck. I’m not a writer or a story teller. I turn wrenches and hit things with a hammer (mechanic) so I lack the skills to review this group of people, that have had my back and my best interest, for almost 2 years but believe me… These people change lives! Five stars in my book is not enough .When referring to Mr Shoen, I really mean the whole team. They take your case I’ve 2 words, “Fights On!” I am so grateful the powers that be dropped me on their doorstep. I’ll cut to the chase. Did he do what he said he would? Bet your ass he did!! Above and beyond my expectations. Word of advice. If he takes your case…. Give him the wheel and let him steer the course. You will never regret it.” – Richard B.

There are some injuries that occur where an injured worker cannot remember what caused their injury.

If you have a workers comp. injury in Virginia, you are entitled to medical care for your injury.
