Atty. Chip Powell is the real deal -- we couldn't have found a better attorney or a better human…read morebeing to represent my wife. Total all-out commitment -- an expert in his field, and a delight to be around (he has a gentle sense of humor--very helpful). He knows the ropes from decades of keenly polished experience working with the insurance personnel & their attorneys, the judges & all the authorities concerned, & is very good at teaching/explaining what comes next, why, how, etc. When you e-mail/text questions/concerns, Chip or his super-bright/capable assistant, Sindy, respond quickly. He is able to allay many fears or let you know what the likelihood/probability is of the outcome(s). Highly recommend him & his assistant/secretary, Sindy--what a GREAT team. Injured? Look no further, Atty. Chip Powell & Sindy will guide you through the rough waters ahead. The insurer denied many parts of my wife's claim, but had my wife's back for the medical & legal aspects. We worked with him and he supported us through all the emotional ups & downs, insurer's denials, their investigators & "independent" medical examinations/examiners as well as the endless delaying tactics which they employ to wear down a claimant. Even the medical specialists we went to were good as long as we steered clear of rabbit holes some of their advisors were trying to send us down--again, Chip helped us with tactfully/graciously backing out of those unneeded/costly medical procedures which would not have improved my wife's traumas (nor have been legally provable), and they would have taken up a great deal more time. Chip was really good at helping us with all these mind-numbing & draining mis-directions in 3.5 years of our lives. The pain & frustrating limitations of an injury are nothing compared to what the insurer & their well-paid colleagues will go to--all to get the injured "party" to go away with as little cost to them as possible. With Atty. Powell you will get through the hells and come out with a sense of not having caved in.

I would like to take this opportunity to truly thank Michael Sabbeth and Crystal Honkala of Sabbeth…read moreLaw. After determining this summer that we needed a lawyer, I knew exactly who to call. I've often consulted Mike about rights and wrongs over the past couple of years, and I know what an honest and hard-working man he is. After listening to the details of our case, he gathered all of our information and passed it along to Crystal. They then worked together on moving quickly and taking care of our case outside of the courtroom. They were always sure to efficiently relay updates and answer any questions we had about the case. We are so thankful, they turned what could have been an awful situation for us into a dream. We never felt like a bother, they ultimately took care of everything for us. If we ever find ourselves needing a lawyer again, I would absolutely choose Sabbeth Law. The effort always given by both Mike and Crystal is insurmountable. Thank you both so much for all of your help and hard work in our case! Reajeanna Roy-Rogers Shawn Rogers

Heidi Groff is our absolute Hero!! Heidi Groff, and her team, at Biggam Fox Skinner saved our…read morefamily from ruin. I thank God that I found Heidi online, and called her when I did. I had sustained a back injury while trying to move a patient when I was working at the Hospital. I was placed on light duty, received endless amounts of physical therapy, and injections. I just wasn't getting the results I needed to live a normal life. After a couple of years, it became clear that I needed a more permanent solution. There was a newer type of surgery that I found, and after a consultation with the surgeon who developed the treatment, it was suggested that it could help me greatly. The workers' compensation insurance company wanted nothing at all to do with the surgery, and without Heidi in my corner, I would have gone down to defeat. Thankfully, I had Heidi Groff and her firm fighting for me. She made sure that I was given the care that I needed, financial support to keep my family from going homeless, and she fought for me to get the surgery I needed paid for by the workers' compensation insurance company. She fought and won a case for another client who needed the same surgery, and this set the precedent for others in Vermont with the same injury to receive the surgery under workers compensation. When all was said and done, and I reached my maximum medical improvement, Heidi negotiated a handsome settlement for us. The money she was able to get us was incredibly helpful in enabling us to get on with our life. I simply cannot say strongly enough how much we appreciate Heidi Groff, and the whole team at Biggam Fox Skinner. They saved us from a terrible situation, and we are eternally grateful. If you have been injured, and need help, call Heidi and her team now! You'll be glad you did, I promise. Sincerely, Michael Allen

I'm a lawyer myself, so I know something about legal representation and the legal world. Nicholas's customer service and professionalism were extraordinary. He was extremely responsive, attentive and helpful. He helped me navigate the complex, intimidating process every step of the way, from the initial insurance claims and buying a new car, to filing everything correctly and creating careful records of all my treatments, to working with the insurance companies to cover my expenses and damages. I cannot imagine going through the process without him. I wouldn't have known what to do and would surely have finished the process with a far less favorable result - especially considering that I was dealing with a concussion and wasn't at my best. Nicholas answered all my phone calls and emails immediately, dropped documents off at my house, and was always cheerful and upbeat while also giving me a realistic picture of the hurdles we faced. As a young associate at Shillen and Mackal, he is building his practice and representation and is eager to deliver top notch service to his clients. I absolutely benefited from that. Nicholas has a strong network and knows many of Vermont's insurance adjustors, medical providers, lawyers, judges and mediators, which served me well. He studies current trends in Vermont and the likelihood of succeeding with various types of personal injury claims. All of his advice proved correct. I was delighted with the result. Nicholas left no stone unturned in representing me. I was also delighted with Nicholas's kind, sharp and thorough assistant, Bea, as well as everyone I came into contact with at Shillen and Mackal. Everyone was friendly, attentive and quick to respond. I absolutely recommend this firm. If you've had an injury, CALL Nicholas Seldon at Shillen and Mackal!

I hired attorney Patrick Hayes to represent me in court for a minor speeding ticket. Initially, he…read morewas helpful and professional. However, when negotiating a plea deal on the court date, he completely failed in explaining the actual legal terms of the agreement. He either did not understand or misrepresented what was offered by the prosecuting attorney, Christopher O'Connor. (On that note, Attorney O'Connor, from Lower Grafton County Prosecutorial Association, raised his voice at me over the phone when I called for clarification and when I pointed out that the terms of the settlement were misrepresented to me. Attorney O'Connor was also very unprofessional, and was very defensive when I pointed out that the terms of the settlement were not even possible under NH State Law, which he should know by the back of his hand). So, when I was considering a plea deal, Attorney Hayes explained to me that if I took a defensive driving course, the points would be "removed" from my record. Legally, and according to the DMV, points cannot be removed from someone's driving record once they enter a guilty plea, which I agreed to do under the terms of the settlement. Mr. Hayes and Mr. O'Connor should have known this to be the the case under NH state law. (A defensive driving course is only looked at by a judge if your license could be suspended due to accrual of points. Points stay on one's driving record regardless if one takes a driver education course). Even if one takes a defensive driving course, points are visible for insurance companies, and this is what I was attempting to avoid when I agreed to settle out of court. Not only that, Mr. Hayes failed to return my calls when I wanted to discuss this matter and point of clarification. That is exceptionally unprofessional, and I would avoid this attorney if possible. I felt deceived by both Attorney Hayes and O'Connor. I am giving Attorney Hayes 2 stars, because I cannot be sure the deceit was intentional or not. Either way, I would be very careful in dealing with either lawyers.
