Invaluable Guidance Through a Complex Workers' Compensation Claim

Our company, a regional manufacturer, faced a complex workers' compensation case involving a significant injury and multiple jurisdictional questions. We were referred to Todd Brooks at Swift Currie. From our first meeting, his 27 years of deep experience in this specific area of law were evident. He didn't just manage the claim; he educated our HR team on the nuances of Georgia law, explaining strategies with clarity that demystified the entire process. His recognition in the field of Workers' Compensation Law for employers is clearly well-earned. Todd efficiently navigated negotiations with the insurance carrier and opposing counsel, securing a settlement that protected our interests while ensuring the employee received fair compensation. His blend of strategic insight for a national firm and a practical, personal approach you'd expect from a local attorney is exceptional. We have absolute confidence in his counsel.
