I hired Valerie and it was a great choice. She is an excellent Lawyer. She helped me win my case. It was a worker’s compensation case, and I thought it would be difficult to win. Valerie used her experience and skills to offer me the best deal and win my case proficiently. She is kind, caring, and knows how to get the job done. I highly recommend her!
I felt so relieved after speaking with Valerie Johnson. I had lots of questions about workman's compensation and she answered them in a way that was easy for me to understand. Her experience showed in the way she inquired about my case and she suggested practical and useful ways for me to move forward with my issue. I'm so happy I was referred to AVVO and found her there. I got the information I needed within an hour and will sleep much better tonight as a result.
Leto Copeley and her assistant are AWESOME! My emails are always answered very quickly and I get a direct answer to every question I have. I am treated like a human being and not just another case for this firm.
The law firm of Copeley, Johnson & Groninger is very supportive of their clients. As a client, they supported me and took a personal interest in my case in order to receive justice. I would highly recommend them. They earn a five-star rating.
Mrs. Johnson is a very experienced and knowledgeable lawyer. I had a question about a work place issue and she offered me great workers comp advise. I would highly recommend to others!
Ms. Johnson is so knowledgeable in workers compensation and employment law. I learned so much from her and have so much respect for her patience and expertise. Every question I asked was a significant one to Valerie and her team. I cannot say enough about their professionalism.
Valerie has been tirelessly working on my behalf for nearly a year now, and has accomplished massive strides in a case which I would have been completely overwhelmed by without her aid. The opposition has been infuriating and persistent in equal measure, but she's waded through all of it with zeal. If you're having any trouble with workers' comp whatsoever, I cannot recommend Valerie enough.
I'm very pleased with the representation Valerie has provided me with my workmans comp case.The firm is very knowledgeable of the workman's comp laws. Valerie has proven once again why she is a top lawyer in the US.
Valerie worked my case to the end -- and we WON! If fact, she (we) won every time the case was presented. Valerie's knowledge of the law is truly unmatched and she proved that every step of the way. From the onset, Valerie listened to all I said, she then explained to me what we would encounter if we choose to move forward. We did move forward, and forward and forward, and always Valerie was there explaining step by step the processes and then presenting the options before me. Valerie overcame every hurdle, she held steadfast and never looked back and neither did I. Only with Valerie I can say, we beat the BIG Boys!!
