Minnesota does not allow workers compensation attorneys to call themselves "experts". However, there are vast differences in the quality and experience of Minnesota workers compensation lawyers for hire throughout our state. Some attorneys are really "personal injury" attorneys who do workers compensation on the side. Work comp is truly just a side practice for these firms or they will simply refer you to lawyers like myself who limit their practice to work comp. Other law firms claim to do it all; divorces, wills, criminal law and would you guess workers compensation too? I'm a strong believer in hiring a specialist.At Atkinson Law Office and Minnesota Disability, we limit our practice to representing injured and disabled workers. We believe that our background in having previously represented employers and insurers is the secret to our success. We know the opposing attorneys, insurance companies and adjusters better than most lawyers across the state. We know how they think and in some cases have taught them what they know (and this is not an exaggeration). Tom Atkinson has has been asked to lecture for decades to both insurance companies, work comp adjusters and other workers compensation attorneys. Since opening his practice representing injured workers, Mr. Atkinson is a frequent lecturer to lawyers seeking his insight and wisdom in representing injured workers.
We have compiled a team of paralegals, investigators and other lawyers who assist in various aspects of your case. Rest assured however, that Tom Atkinson will always be on hand to personally answer your questions when necessary.
