I was working on a lift boat as a cook, and on the boat the captain told the deckhands to strip and wax the floors. I was instructed that the job was complete and the floor was safe again. I went back in there, took one step on the floor, and the next thing I knew I was on my back. My neck hurt and I knew I was in trouble. After we got the MRI results, I learned that I had five herniated discs in my neck, one in my thoracic spine, and two in my lumbar spine.
I decided to go with Zehl & Associates because immediately, after the very first phone call with Tommy Servos, I felt like they were going to have my best interests at heart. He answered all my questions, walked me through what the medical process would be like, what to expect, and assured me I would be taken care of. I genuinely felt I was in good hands with Tommy and the rest of the team.
After the outcome of my case, the biggest thing is that I no longer feel like my options in life are gone. I’m comfortable now, and my wife and I don’t have to worry about the long-term future, even though I lost out on my offshore career. The entire team impressed me. I personally spoke with Ryan myself, and his team—from the reception staff to the paralegals to the other lawyers that assisted Eric—were all excellent. Everyone had an answer if I had a question, and they were all there to help me as a whole, not just individually.
From the rides to the doctor, to booking appointments, to Tommy making sure my medical maintenance was coming in on time every month, the whole team was as good as you could ask for. They didn’t give me false hope. They told me what was going to happen, what they thought might happen, and things unfolded exactly as they said.
With the professionalism of Zehl & Associates, I would trust anyone in their hands. Like I said, my good friend didn’t hesitate to tell me to give Eric a call, and he’s happy as well. I know others will be too.
