Bio

Originally from Prairie Village, Kansas, George Pearson has practiced Workers Compensation Law for the past 35 years representing clients all over the state of Kansas. Specializing in legal representation for injured workers in workers compensation cases he has earned a reputation for compassionate legal services and a tenacity to get the job done for his clients as efficiently as possible. The law is not built for speed and certainly whether the workers compensation system or the District Court for a jury trial in a personal injury case, George Pearson is known for aggressively pushing and moving the case through the system to resolution whether by settlement or trial, and overcoming the stalling tactics of insurance companies and their minions. George's tenacity earned him the nickname "Bulldog" among his peers in the early years of his legal career. He has not mellowed with time and experience but that experience and connections he has made during his career have frequently allowed him to resolve cases sooner rather than later. Receiving the highest ranking by AVVO Legal at 10 out of 10 and with consistent 5 Star Reviews from clients, George Pearson is recognized as a talented lawyer who represents his clients zealously and who takes pride in clients who are happy with his services and the results he obtains for them. George's fees for his services are reasonable and no fee is ever charged unless a recovery is obtained. In workers compensation cases the fee is the state-approved 25% fee and in motor vehicle accident cases it is the pretty standard in the industry 33% contingency fee. There is never a fee unless a recovery is obtained on behalf of the client and the client has the ultimate authority to decide whether a settlement offer is good enough to accept. George Pearson graduated from the Washburn University School of Law and has lectured other lawyers in the field of workers compensation and ethics and has authored articles for other lawyers pertaining to workers compensation.

A Lifeline After a Devastating Workplace Injury

After a severe machinery accident left me unable to work and facing a complex workers' compensation claim, I was overwhelmed. My employer's insurer was pushing back on essential medical coverage and wage replacement. From our first meeting, George Pearson's 35 years of focused experience in Kansas workers' compensation law was evident. He didn't just see my case as paperwork; he understood the profound impact on my family's life in Topeka. His deep knowledge of the system, honed over decades representing clients across the state, was invaluable. He meticulously explained every step, from navigating the Kansas Division of Workers' Compensation to preparing for deposition, and his calm, steady demeanor was a constant reassurance. His recognition in the field was something I came to appreciate firsthand as he negotiated a settlement that not only covered all my medical bills and lost wages but also secured a future financial buffer. George and his firm treated me with respect and genuine care throughout a very difficult two-year process. For anyone in Kansas facing a similar situation, his expertise is not just an asset—it's essential for a fair outcome.
