Welch Bruun & Green

"After 7 months of dealing with a failed (Oregon) Work Comp system that was closing my case without addressing all of my injuries, I sought help from more than a few firms and promptly received a call back from Spencer Kelly of the firm Welch Bruun & Green. Spencer has good knowledge of this WC program and knows the laws and allowances well. Each time that I had concerns from the WC people (including threats!), Spencer would promptly return my calls and addressed my concerns. Besides getting the case reopened, he was able to address with the WC group the medical bills that they wanted to take from my “settlement” and was still able to secure me additional compensation for my injuries. The Oregon WC laws apparently are set up to favor the employer and I suggest that no one try to navigate them without the assistance of a specialist in this field; the claim case workers talk nice will give you empty promises until you push hard against them. I am quite sure that had I sought assistance from the beginning that my case would have not been so complicated and I am grateful for the work that Spencer Kelly did to resolve my case on this life changing event."

"I gave Lily (Ted Lew’s assistant) all the information needed and heard nothing back. If they’re not able to deliver a message , can’t imagine how incompetent they would be in the court room."

"Customer care has declined over the years unfortunately. Very disappointed. Don't seem to really care about the client as an individual. Always quick to settle. All lawyers are typically like this. Up until now I thought Welch Bruun & Green were different. Be careful and trust your instincts. There's always another lawyer and another doctor."

"Hiring this law firm was a big waste of time. Betsy Wasko and her paralegal (Dana)did absolutely nothing to help me get what I needed as a result of my on the job injury. Countless unanswered emails and phone calls dragged out for over a year and a half. Unanswered emails and phone calls left me without any help whatsoever. I do not recommend this law firm if you have a Workmen’s Comp. case."

"Very unprofessional. Said would call back. Never heard from them.(Besty the attorney) Spoke to and explained my whole work injury to Dana her assistant. Called a week later, the receptionist took a message, told me I would get a call, they never returned my call. Just tell me that you are unable to help me.. First impression means EVERYTHING!"
