    Susan Cotten - Birmingham, Alabama

  • "I was injured at my job and had to quit. I had some serious surgery, but something went wrong and a bone came loose. My workman's comp stopped after 10 weeks. That meant I had no means to pay for any future treatment because I was in no physical shape to go back to work. My cousin had used Jon Lewis before and recommended him. Jon fought to get my workman's comp started again, and succeeded. I was able to get another doctor and surgery to correct my injury. Without Jon, I don't know where I would be. After the trial, the judge commended Jon for his work. I'm more than pleased with the outcome, and I'm truly thankful for Jon. I have referred him more business and would certainly use him again if I needed representation.
