Complaint Review: Stephen T Conrad Esquire of LenoxBiddenger & Conrad P.C.

In March of 99 I was injured on the job. The insurance company refused to pay the claim until I forced them through the state workers compensation program.

The Virginia Workers Compensation board makes every effort to inform the injured worker to get an attorney but it makes no effort to inform you that your settlement will be minus the attorneys fees.

My settlement was $948. The settlement was far less than my lost income but to add insult to injury my attorney,( who I would not have used had Workmens Comp. not insisted on my getting one ), was paid $500. In other words I recieved $448. the attorney when I ask about the fee said " Don't worry the Workmens Compensation sets the fee.". But he failed to say it would or could be deducted from my settlement.

And, our well paid and well respected elected officials want us to worry about sex or violence on TV, while we are being robbed blind by all others.
