Testimonials for Hochman & Plunkett

“From my initial meeting with Amy up until now, they have made everything as simple and stress-free as I think can be. The communication has been great, and they do a great job explaining everything involved in my case.  It’s not over yet, but I have no doubt they have my best interest at hand!!” – Ted S.

“I just have to share my experience with this law firm! Going into this I was really unsure how my situation would turn out, but I have to say it has been all around AMAZING! Meeting Amy for the first time was so nice, she was very kind and really listened to all my concerns. Once I started conversing with Angie WOW what can I say nothing but OUTSTANDING!!! Every voicemail/email was answered in such a short time! When I say I know I asked the same question so many times and Angie always replied back so respectfully, and she just got me. I never had any doubts if I didn’t know she explained it so I would!! There’s not one thing she said she would do and didn’t. Long story short, I will/would always recommend these two ladies to anyone who needs legal assistance They are the BEST!” – Faatima T.

“Everyone here has been very helpful and supportive through this difficult time. I was very stressed and frustrated pursuing my workman's compensation benefits on my own. They jumped right in and handled all the difficulties. I’m forever grateful.” – Lakisha S.

“With my first call to Hochman and Plunkett, the answers I had about my BWC were resolved. A new BWC claim can be overwhelming and every person who has ever held a job has their own opinions about this area. Meeting with their attorneys allowed me piece of mind that I’d made the right choice. Their office staff, especially Jackie, is courteous and very professional. There are lots of questions to get the correct information in and timelines to be met. With all confidence in this firm, I would strongly recommend Hochman and Plunkett for your BWC claim.” – Stephan J.

“Very happy with the way they handled my claim. My paralegal was always available when I needed her to help me navigate the system. Highly recommend!” – Jacki R.

“I reached out to Hochman and Plunkett at first in 2016 to help me through a difficult time. From that point forward, the team from Hochman and Plunkett took control and made the difficult process much easier to navigate. It gave me the opportunity to focus on my health and to get better from my injury. Every phone call, in-person meeting, or hearing, I felt as if I was their only client and had all of their attention. I couldn’t recommend Hochman and Plunkett more. If you’re looking for the right Workers Compensation Attorney, look no further.” – Nick S.

“Well, I’m not sure what to say, but they came through in a big way and right on time. I was looking to file a claim for a recent job that didn't want to pay me workman's comp. They did some due diligence, asked some quick questions about my work history, and a past non-at-fault accident. Long story short they found out that the last law firm I worked with didn't get me the most compensation that I should have got, and they got it for me 5 times over. I was lost for words when they came through because it was definitely unexpected. This is an A++ law firm and they treated me like I was a longtime friend through the whole short process. They'll always have my gratitude.” – Dwann O.

“It has been such an honor working with Hochman & Plunkett, I am updating my review as today is officially when I collected my settlement check. The entire team is very kind and helpful. Came on a weekday and was done in less than 10mins. They were kind to allow me to take my work meeting in their office and I really appreciated that since it was urgent. I had a workers’ compensation claim and Gary and his team kept fighting for me and they helped me reach a hefty settlement and I am so thankful. Highly recommended.” – Mandy D.

“Hochman & Plunkett did a wonderful job with my complex case. They contacted me in timely manners, made sure I understood all the information during our time together, and when I did not, they broke it down into terms I could understand. (About 5 years total, from start to finish). Every attorney I worked with takes the extra steps to get the paperwork side completed to make sure you, as the injured person, can focus on yourself and your healing. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone that has been injured while working and is faced with a difficult situation. To all that have helped me, thank you from the bottom of my heart.” – Mackinzie D.

“Thank you to your team for handling my cases and getting more than I ever thought. I’m so appreciative of the help in settling my cases. Your team answered all my questions and took the time to explain every step of the way. I highly recommend your law firm.” – Benita P.

“5 stars indeed, job well done. Heartfelt thank you’s to everyone who assisted on my behalf in receiving such a positive outcome. I've grown more respect for law professionals and realize how difficult it must be at times. They are who they say they are, nevertheless. In a good way, Gary Plunkett is a beast, and he knows what he's doing. His word is bond. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.” – Christopher G.

“These guys definitely fight for you. My employer tried to get over on me and H&P settled for 3xs what they originally promised me. Great work.” – Angela Q.J.

“After what seemed like an innocuous fall at work, I ended up off work for 4 months, and in chiropractic treatment and physical therapy for 18 months to get back to 80%. In the beginning, I followed protocol, and my employer didn’t let me know that I had a right to go to any provider of my choosing. So, I got a lot worse before I reached out to Hochman and Plunkett who immediately helped me streamline my care. My attorney took care of me. They also took care of all of the details and strategy in such a way that I could just focus on getting better and getting back to work. Communication about everything that was being done, managing flare- ups, and moving toward settlement was timely and clear. They helped me fight and win to have the last 4 weeks of my treatment covered by BWC. Once we were ready to move toward settlement, I trusted the team implicitly. I am back to 100% and received a wonderful settlement. I can lay flat on my back, wear turtlenecks, chase my grandkids, and hike as long as my legs will carry me; priceless. Hochman and Plunkett are the go-to law firm for workmen’s comp issues. I and my family can’t thank them enough.” – Kai S.

“If you need an injury workers comp lawyer, GO HERE FIRST. I wasted 8 years in a battle. The MINUTE I fired my old lawyer, and hired Hochman & Plunkett, I finally settled. THE BEST EVER, and they are on your side. They KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING! I sure wish they practiced in different areas, because I could sure use them in another area, above any other.” – Mary S.

“I am very pleased with Hochman & Plunkett handing one of my workman comp claims. They were very professional and informative in the process of my claim.

“When my work injury occurred, of all the firms I interviewed, my meeting with Gary Plunkett of Hochman and Plunkett, impressed me the most. He didn't try to schmooze me, or sugar-coat things, or try to hide the difficulties I might face given the laws in Ohio. They saw me through. When the company began denying claims for my ongoing care, Hochman and Plunkett was there. I am so glad that I chose Hochman and Plunkett. They helped me through the toughest time in my life and opened the door to a brighter future.
