About our Team.
Why should you pick us over other law firms to represent you?
There are plenty of law firms out there that represent injured employees but what sets Chen & Nowzari LLP apart from other firms is the personalized, top notch service you will receive with us. Here at Chen & Nowzari LLP we are not a claims processing mill where your file is going to be passed from attorney to attorney like a revolving door. Your attorney at Chen & Nowzari LLP is going to stay consistent throughout the duration of your case and will be personally worked on by the managing attorney Cyrus Chen. We do not merely handle cases; we represent real people with real problems on an individual basis.
Why do you need an attorney for a workers compensation claim?
Unless you are an accomplished legal professional, you will be putting yourself at a serious disadvantage if you decide to handle your claim without guidance from an attorney. Insurance companies and their attorneys make what should be a simple system into a complex labyrinth in order to frustrate you so you will give up on pursuing your benefits. They are not concerned about your well-being. Instead, they are concerned about preserving their bottom-line by finding ways to jeopardize your claim and deprive you of benefits. Our job is to make sure that doesn't happen by fighting back against the insurance companies and their attorneys. We serve as your watch dog to guide you through the insurance companies' red tape in order to prevent them from taking advantage of you and to make sure you get the benefits you are entitled to.
How much is it going to cost you to hire Chen & Nowzari LLP?
All of our cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, which means if we do not obtain financial compensation for you at the end of your case, we also do not get paid. This means that you will never get a bill from our law firm and there is no out-of-pocket expense for you to retain us. We essentially work for free until we obtain financial compensation for you. Furthermore, our contingency fee is only 12% or 15% so that means you get to keep 85% or 88% of the financial compensation we obtain for you at the end of your case.
Do you need an attorney even if your claim is "going smoothly" and the insurance company is playing nice?
Absolutely you should still retain Chen & Nowzari LLP to assist you with your claim because we add a lot of value to you. We know that your time is valuable and that you don't want to waste your time trying to get a hold of the insurance company or spending hours over the internet researching what your options are or what your next steps should be. When you hire us as your attorney, you no longer have to deal with the insurance company. We are the ones that will communicate with the insurance company and handle all the paperwork for your claim so it frees up your time so you can focus on getting healthy again. As your attorney, the insurance companies are required to send us every letter and report they send to you so it allows us to monitor your case and take any necessary action on your behalf. If you have any questions regarding the process or a letter that the insurance company sent you, you now have us to contact without having to spend hours trying to figure out the answer yourself.
If you or a loved one has been injured on the job or contracted an occupational illness, don’t take on the added stress of dealing with workers compensation claims on your own. Let us help you today. Please contact us for a free legal consultation at (949) 888-9807.
