Several years ago, I sustained an injury while employed at a local company. Throughout the past 3 years, Mike and his team of very qualified and caring people have been there with an open ear as well as an open mind to help me navigate this process of Worker Compensation. When you request a task of them, they deliver, simple as that! Mike, went to bat for me, and I received a fair, better than I expected settlement. There were no pie in the sky promises, just truthful constructive answers.

In 2013, my husband sustained a minor injury on the job. We went through the usual medical care, went in for a minor out patient surgery then sent home to recover. As things when along we learned that my husband developed a debilitating, very painful neurological disease. At this point everything went from minor to catastrophic life changing event. We knew that day we needed representation as we were dealing with the rest of our lives financially and medically. We made appointments with 5 different attorneys to interview to find one that would pay attention to detail, get out in front of the insurance company, and someone that had the knowledge and the experience to handle the decisions that would effect the rest of our lives and our families lives. Mike was the first lawyer we met with. As we set in the lobby of Hall Ansley Law Firm waiting for our appointment time, two of Mike Mergen's clients approached and stated "This is the place you want to be, these people will fight for you, your rights, and what you need. MMMM very good sign. We entered Mike's office and spoke for around an hour about what he could do for us, should we hire him, what our rights were, a timeline was given to us from Mike and a straight forward talk about what he could make happen. After getting the straight talk from Mike, with no pie in the sky responses we hired him that day and never went to another attorney. This was the best decision we could have made. Through the 3 years of handling the case I must say I was impressed with Mike's availability to us. If he didn't answer our calls, he returned the call usually within the hour. He kept us informed of every twist and turn in our settlement case. Mike's availability and response were quick, accurate, and to my surprise returning answers on questions on Saturday's and even a Sunday or two my email. I know I had many questions, and no matter how insignificant the question was, Mike would always reply. Through many hours of back and forth with the insurance company Mike kept the medical care approved, and medications approved, which were constantly being denied by the insurance company. So now we are to the final day were we meet with Mike and sign our settlement agreement, and get our check, which was very fair and more than we could have hoped for, along with life long medical care left opened for my husband. That day we shook hands and thanked Mike, along with the hand shake came a statement from Mike. "I will always be your representation on this case and will be there if you need anything through the opened medical." We are now going into the 6th year of open medical care and have had a few bumps with the insurance company along the way, Each and every time Mike responded and advised us on what we needed to do. Now we are coming to a big bump with the life long medical and Mike is there. I rest very easy knowing he is, as does my husband. This is the firm you need to go to if you want to be treated like a family member. Mike took care of us like he was our son, left no stone unturned, and no detail left out, and is still taking care of us. His knowledge, reputation among his peers, years of experience, his networks, and partnerships with colleagues he has built are what you need in an lawyer who is holding the rest of your life in his hands. . Every one we met through this process from case workers, doctors, and other people had the same thing to say. " You have the right attorney for this" Through this process there are many, many decisions, that need to be made, and when you are in this position, it is tough, you hope you make the right ones. We did from the start by hiring Mike Mergen as our representation. With Regards, Cathy Wallace read more
