Law Office of James D. Howes, PLLC

Under Kentucky law we cannot charge a fee unless and until you are awarded benefits. Furthermore, we usually advance all costs until the case is resolved. The goal is to make your life as stress-free as we can while representing you. We know precisely what the law provides under every circumstance and we will aggressively advocate your case. We practice in Kentucky state-wide and wherever you are, we come to you. We can handle your claim through the mail, by phone and by fax until we have an opportunity to sit down with you. A hearing site that is nearest your home will be assigned in your claim. Our extremely qualified and courteous staff will answer every question and address every concern you have. We ensure that you receive the proper medical care as well as a complete and thorough medical evaluation by a knowledgeable, experienced, independent physician.
Even though you were paid benefits while you off work you are probably due significant income, medical or vocational benefits that no one has bothered to explain. If you have any doubt, please call us.
Finally, we recommend that you not attempt to evaluate a settlement offer without legal counsel. Free of charge, we will advise you fully on the fairness of any offer you receive. Matters can only get worse if you wait. Contact us now.
What WE DO NOT do is: ask for money upfront; require that you obtain an impairment rating before retaining us; sit on your claim by hoping that it will settle so we can avoid hard work and effort; send you out to find your own doctor; make you submit your own forms for mileage and out-of-pocket reimbursement; require you to obtain a copy of your medical records, or; reject claims for being too small.

What WE DO is: advance all costs; promptly litigate all viable claims; obtain all medical records; secure all necessary medical expert and lay testimony; promptly file all forms necessary for reimbursement of client expenses; demand the maximum benefits provided by law; direct referrals for proper medical care; and, forgive all costs if we are unable to prevail in your claim.
