My friend is also a Canadian who is living in the States. So, I recommended that he contact Alex. My friend gave Alex a call. Alex was nice and highly attentive throughout their phone conversation.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a case that Alex could take on, but he was able to point my friend in the right direction and answer all my friend's concerns. He continued to be helpful, even staying in touch with my friend though texts after their discussion. My friend is great these days.

His communication is beyond amazing. I could text him directly and he would respond within an hour if not right away. If we needed to talk, he always made time for it. His assistant is also on top of everything and responds to questions and requests very promptly. Work comp is a labyrinth of laws and without good guidance, you can be lost for a long time. I can say that Mr. Dougherty and Hiden, Rott & Oertle got me the best medical care, a great surgeon and a fair settlement. I know this, better than to be expected result, because a co-worker was injured about a month after me with a similar shoulder injury. He had no representation and I can say, conclusively, my treatement was better, my result better and my case settled before his. Without Mr. Dougherty's help none of this would have been the case. I cannot heap enough praise on Brian Dougherty and Hiden, Rott & Oertle. My deepest grattitude for their hard work on my behalf.

I was told these were the people that understood workplace injuries, especially Brain injuries. From the very beginning, Mr. Hiden and Mr. Rott, as well as paralegal Diana Ruvalcaba were always there to help me through every single step of this difficult process. Every single interaction I had with them was top notch! Whether I called, emailed or texted, they were always immediately responsive - and never treated me as if I was being an annoying worry wart with my incessant questions! With the short term memory problems I've had since my accident, I'm sure that I asked them the same questions repeatedly! Most importantly, they were able to make sure that I received the top notch medical care I now know I needed then and will need in the future. Your employer's insurer is only interested in getting rid of their liability (you) as quickly as they can and at as little cost to them as possible. Don't believe for even one second that they are there to help you or even care about you a little bit. They do not! Nobody from Hiden, Rott & Oertle ever made me a single outlandish promise like the firms you see in flashy advertisements every day. Don't go to an attorney because of their advertisements. Go to an attorney that doesnt have to advertise! A proven reputation is far better than expensive commercials, Gold chains and, big fake smiles. The fine attorneys at Hiden, Rott & Oertle are simply the best! The quiet confidence that they exude makes you realize that you made the right choice by retaining them. At the end of the day, they delivered a settlement far more generous than I ever expected or imagined. I'm now confident that I'll never worry about my future medical care or any of my other needs. Thank You!

I got lucky and hired Batta-Fulkerson, and Taylor Gaines, before I saw firsthand what Taylor can do. Taylor is not only confident in the courtroom but also has a track record of securing an eight-figure judgment. This level of preparedness undoubtedly pushed the opposing party in my case to settle, knowing he is not afraid to fight for his clients in court and go after REAL numbers. Once you see Taylor in action in the court room, you will know everything is good. Taylor's expertise in personal injury law was evident throughout the entire process keeping cost low and expert advice high. He was always well-prepared, providing clear guidance and effectively advocating for my needs. The mediation experience itself was handled with professionalism and care.

My worker's comp case has finally come to an end after nearly 8 years. Mr. Blancato has been my rock throughout this case. Always available to take calls and provide guidance when I needed it. It has been a long and exhausting road of claims and denials. After almost 8 years to the day, we finally settled and I can move on with my life and live comfortably again. My wife and I struggled financially, physically and emotionally through multiple surgeries and setbacks. Mr. Blancato was able to setup rides to and from doctor's appointment because I am unable to drive. He was also able to guide me through collecting social security disability so I had a small income to live on. He is the ONLY attorney I trust with handling such a serious situation. If I had to do it all over again, Mr. Blancato would be my first and only choice. read more
