Michele not only settled my case but surpassed any expectations. This is the 2nd time I have utilized this law firm and if, hopefully not necessitated, I need to, would readily use again.. She also referred me to Erving Blank as a personal injury attorney and for that I am also grateful… If you choose another attorney, then thats your loss…

I never thought I would ever be hurt on the job. When I first met Michele she was kind, caring, and immediately put the ball in motion to help me face one of the most difficult things I would ever go through. She is the best attorney for an injured worker and she will hang with you all the way through your case. She is professional, smart, and the top dog for sure. Look no further, you have found what exactly what you need to in terms of a worker’s comp case. She saved my battleship from sinking – she was my lifeline!

~ Sandy

Michele and her team helped me and defended me, so I can get better and get my life back. I am so thankful. This year has been extremely difficult and Michele has been my strength. She has been guiding me and helping me when things have been difficult. Others did not understand what it is like to be injured on the job

~ Pat

This law firm was very helpful in my case. My case went on for 16mos. Michele was a very good lawyer in my case. If anybody needs a lawyer I highly recommend Michele. She made sure everything was the best route. She made very good decisions in my case and she’s the best workers comp lawyer in my book. She doesn’t back down from anything the insurance company was saying. She did the right and the best thing in my claim. Guess what we WON!!!

~ Pam

I have had Michele Lewane for a little over 2 years. She has done everything she said she was going to do, and more. I would recommend any injured worker to Mrs. Lewane. This lawyer actually cares about her clients. The first year, she had got my COLA for me. The lawyer I had for 5 years before Mrs. Lewane had done nothing for me in those 5 years. But, I found Michele Lewane, and I couldn’t ask for a better workers comp lawyer than her. She is not a lawyer just in it for the money. She cares for her clients. Thank you Michele Lewane!

~ Tonya

Michele Lewane handled my Workers Comp case. She was caring and compassionate while being very focused on my legal business. She represented me with exceptional skill. I would recommend this firm to any one who has been injured and needs an experienced lawyer on their side.
