Fighting for Injured Workers in Otsego County and The Foothills region.
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.
We are the only workers’ compensation law firm headquartered in the area. Rothermel & Wilson is located in Oneonta, NY. This means that you can meet with us face to face and stop in our office when you want. At Rothermel & Wilson, I will handle your claim personally. I try to meet each potential client face to face. This gives you the opportunity to get to know me before you decide to hire me.
I have lived on Oneonta for 20 plus years. I understand the community and have over two decades of experience litigating against employees across area, including representing injured nurses from Fox Hospital, workers from Corning, and all the major employers in the region. I know how these employers these employers handle workers comp claims.
Call for a free consultation, meet with me face to face, and decide for yourself. Do you want a local workers compensation lawyer who will meet with you face to face and handle your claim personally? Or do want to be treated like number and have you claim handled by a paralegal instead of a lawyer in a city hours away?v
