I contacted Palace law in July of 2018 when my L & I case began to go sideways. My employer hired or put on an attorney to fight my case after it had been approved and my first surgery was past 6 months. I was assigned to Cheryl A. Gorder as paralegal on my case. Since that time, I have had the necessary follow up surgeries and physical therapy to get me as active again as possible. I am still limited on what I can do. Through this time, Cheryl has worked exceptionally hard fighting for my rights when my employer decided that my problems were not work related. Cheryl wrote a wonderful letter when my employer’s attorney protested my doctor’s diagnoses. She kept me calm when my employer’s attorney forced the IME doctor do 3 separate addendums to his report until it said what he wanted it to say. Somehow L&I allowed this to go on. Cheryl kept me appraised of everything that was going on and when there were red flags or trivial stuff from my employer, she let me know how to handle them. She was and still is in my corner for me. When I called or emailed, I knew that she would get back to me usually the same day but for sure within the next 24 hours unless it was a weekend. Cheryl has always answered my questions honestly and without stammering around or beating around the bush. I would recommend this firm to anybody who has any resistance with L&I or any other insurance due to a physical injury. They are the best, most honest and I feel the most reasonably priced after talking with other people who have other attorneys. I consider Cheryl not only my legal advisor but also a friend who is out to help others with their needs. She has had my best interest in mind as she does her job.
