The explosion was the worst time of my life. I was terrified of not being able to see my family again. It’s an experience I never want to go through again. The company was more worried about themselves—their money, their name—not their workers. We were basically forced to go back to work. A lot of us didn’t want to be there. You don’t want to be around something like that because you’re worried it’s going to happen again. You don’t feel safe or secure out there.
The company more or less left us to fend for ourselves. I hired a lawyer because the company wasn’t looking out for me or my family. I had a family at home to provide for.
I chose Zehl & Associates because they came highly recommended. When we met with them, they weren’t just focused on the plant explosion—they were focused on us. They were always there. You could pick up the phone and call them, and they’d check up on you constantly. It wasn’t just like dealing with a lawyer—it felt more like family, like an uncle, a brother, or a sister. They genuinely cared.
Working with Zehl & Associates was awesome. They took care of my needs. If I had doctor’s appointments, they handled it. I could call them and my appointments were always arranged. They constantly called to check up after every doctor’s appointment. I’ve never met a law firm like that—one that is constantly worried about my needs.
I would highly recommend Zehl & Associates. They did something I don’t think any other lawyer’s office could do. I’m very, very satisfied with the outcome of my case. If anybody needs a lawyer for anything, I’d recommend Zehl & Associates in a heartbeat.
