Cooperstown Workers Compensation Lawyer

Looking for a Cooperstown Workers Compensation Lawyer?

While other Workers’ Compensation Law Firms advertise that they “serve” our area, they are located an hour or more away.  This means that you may never meet your attorney.  You can’t drop paperwork off at their office. At those other firms, your case is often handled by a paralegal and not a workers compensation attorney.
