“The check came today! Thank you, from the bottom of my working heart, for everything you have done for me. Thanks again!!”
-P.H.
“Denise, Thanx for making this a much better experience. You are my hero.”
-D.E.
“I had thought that I could handle my workers’ compensation injury myself by simply following the guidelines. But I was soon proven wrong. My case became complicated, and the necessary medical treatments were blocked. I almost lost hope, but then I found Denise Lemmon. Owing to her passion and diligence, her clear thinking, and her extraordinary legal expertise, my case was turned around. With her managing my case, monitoring my progress and giving me advise, my anxiety was greatly reduced and I could focus on getting well. I felt so fortunate that I had retained her. In the course of over a year, she did a tremendous amount of work for me. When my benefit was cut off, Denise prepared a presentation for the hearing, which was so thorough and clear, and her argument for which was so coherent that she was able to get my benefits reinstated. I was entirely reliant on her advice for all my problems, including those that derived from work unexpectedly that put me in an extremely difficult situation. During all those trying times, Denise always responded to my email immediately, providing me with guidance, even during weekends and holidays. My whole family is very grateful to her. She is not just an outstanding lawyer, but also a mentor, who helped me navigate through many difficult situations. Denise really cares about me as a fellow human being. She did the best job on my case and on all the surrounding issues, a much better job than any other attorney could have done. I want to recommend her to anyone who is injured at work and who is seeking legal representation. I can assure you that you will achieve the optimum in your case if your attorney is Denise. Conrad Tanasychuk represented me in a hearing. Even though he considered it to be a simple hearing, Conrad read and analyzed over a hundred pages of document to understand the issues involved. During the process I was frustrated by the complexity of the issues and wanted to give up, but Conrad never backed down. His many hours of painstaking effort really paid off. We won the hearing and I got the benefits that I was entitled to according to the law. My experience with Conrad as my attorney was very positive. He is very kind and capable. He worked entirely for my interests. I would like to recommend Conrad to anyone who needs legal advice. I can guarantee that he is the most dedicated attorney that you can find.”

“After interviewing several attorneys I finally found Denise Lemmon. During the Workers Comp process Denise and Conrad Tanasychuk kept me well informed about what was happening with my case and projections of what was to come in the future. Both Denise and Conrad were kind and understanding at all times. With their representation, we were able to settle and I am now able to attend school and begin a new career after leaving a career of 31 years. It has been a fascinating experience and I am looking forward to my future!”

“I was totally intimidated by both my employer and the work comp insurance co. Denise walked me through the process, was a strong advocate and provided me with both the information I needed as well as the support to persevere. Insurance companies know how to ‘play the game’. What I needed was someone who knows how to ‘play the game’ better!. I found that in Denise Lemmon. Thank you so very much.”

“Denise Lemmon represented me throughout the entirety of my two years in the Workers’ Comp system. She not only exhibited diligence and professionalism in all aspects of my case, but also provided me the tools I needed to protect myself as an injured worker. I never felt ill-prepared and all of my questions were answered immediately. It is disconcerting to be injured on the job and doubly so to navigate the Workers’ Comp system while maintaining one’s health.
