I was injured on my job performing a mandatory activity in my job. My employer denied my worker's compensation claim. I did research online on the law firms in my area that specialize in worker's compensation cases. I also saw T.V. commercials for Kalfus & Nachman. The information online, the testimonials, and reviews from previous clients made Kalfus & Nachman the BEST choice for me in a law firm. They have the years of experience needed, hard-working professional attorneys, paralegals, and other staff who truly care about their clients and want to give them justice and compensation. My beloved father died in December from COVID 19, and they even sent a beautiful floral arrangement with a card expressing their sympathies and condolences to my family and me. J. Brian Slaughter, my outstanding attorney, and Laurie T. Marsh, my outstanding paralegal, were in constant communication with me during my case through phone calls and emails. They showed me empathy, compassion, and kindness through the entire process and are continuing to do so during the process of winning my workers' compensation case! Words will never express the relief, gratitude, and appreciation that I feel for Kalfus & Nachman and my legal dream team! I am extremely fortunate to have chosen Kalfus & Nachman and their AMAZING legal team to represent me and win my worker's compensation case!! God bless you all for what you have done for my family and me! JUSTICE PREVAILED, THANKS TO KALFUS AND NACHMAN AND MY LEGAL DREAM TEAM! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to you all! Thank you, Thank you, Brian Slaughter and Laurie T. Marsh, for your dedication, time, and complete attention to my case and my needs as your client! Sincerely, Heidi Myers

Auto Accidents
Social Security Disability
I’m so thankful to have hired Deborah Vaughan at Kalfus & Nachman to help with my Social Security Disability Benefits. I had been denied and appealed several times on my own and decided to hire an attorney to represent me in the final appeal. After a long year of waiting for a court date, and then having it postponed even further due to the pandemic, I finally was granted a hearing date via conference call with the judge. I am forever grateful to and. Vaughan for her assistance in getting the approval on my benefits. A BIG thank you to Deborah, and her wonderful assistant Jocelyn, for their kindness, patience, and ongoing communication over the years. What a professional team! They demonstrated expert knowledge, attention to detail, and followed up with me every step of the way. And their compassion and patience in helping me prepare for the hearing was invaluable. Thank you for getting me the benefits I deserved. I recommend this team to anyone in search of a skilled team that delivers results! Thank you again.
