What Clients Are Saying About James
“My family has a long history with Jim Nein. He first began representing my father in a very difficult permanent disability case around 1980. During those years, there were times that Mr. Nein had to visit the BWC and track down my father’s “lost” files himself. My parents respected and trusted him enough that they recommended him to my husband when he had a terrible accident causing permanent disability on the job in 1983. I can attest to Mr. Nein’s commitment to his clients. He truly cares about them and doesn’t give up the fight. He continued to fight for and won the right for my mother to continue to receive WC benefits after my father’s death due to the effects of his injuries 30 years later.”
