William D., Salisbury

I was truly impressed with your firm from the beginning. I found you via an internet search and requested your book Ten Ways to Wreck Your Workers' Comp Claim. It came in the mail promply along with some info about your firm. After reading through the material I knew that I'd be able to rest at ease once I had retained you. You took very good care of me and answered all of my questions professionally and sincerely. You definitely were not stuffy or uptight. I felt comfortable with you. Although I'm sure you are totally busy with cases I alwasy felt as though mine was the only one you were handling. If you busy with another phone call or away from your desk and I had to leave a message it was promptly returned. I really appreciate that. I've never dealt with workers' compensation before and I was at my wits end prior to contacting your firm. It was a battle with the company I was empoyed with just to get a doctor's appointmnet. I'm sure the outcome wouldn't have been the same if I'd gone it alone. I truly appreciate the excellent job you all did for me. Thank you very much.

Angela M., Greensboro

You were very up front about what the workers' comp adjuster would try to do. You were right on the money -- they tried some things. I liked the way you took time to talk to me about my case -- even before I ever took you on as my lawyer -- and the staff was the same. They always took my calls and answered my questions. I did not know anything about workers compensation laws so i could never have gotten the same results in my case without you. You made it very easy to understand and all of my concerns and problems were answered in a timely manner. I was pleased with the way things that were stated to me about my case came true, and worked out in the end for my best.  I think the firm did an amazing job for me and my family. I don't think things would have come out the way they did without you.

Tony W., Summerfield

You knew everything that would happen, and explained it to me in advance so that I knew what to expect. This was true at every step – straight up from day one. You were excellent to work with. I’ve been in lawyer’s offices where they tended to belittle you. You guys made me feel comfortable, like a person and not a case number.

Here’s another thing… My neighbor was going through a workers compensation case at the same time as me. She used a different law firm because the lawyer attended her church. We were talking one day and I mentioned that my attorney had just returned my call. She was shocked that I talked to an attorney – not a machine or a secretary or aide, but to my attorney. She’d been calling her attorney for weeks and hadn’t heard back. She couldn’t believe I actually talked to my attorney.

Barrie K., Franklinville, North Carolina                            

You did a wonderful job for me. You were lovely to work with. In about 6 ½ years others did not work it out. But you did not take long. Thank you, I’m so happy it’s all over.

Nancy M., Greensboro

The company I worked for had told me a lot of wrong things about the laws. You knew exactly what the laws were on workers comp. At any time during my case and even afterwards I could call and you would answer and return all my calls. Once I spoke and hired you I never felt more at ease. I knew I had hired the right lawyer. Without you I would have gotten nothing.  

 Even after my workers compensation case settled you still looked out for me. When I had returned to work the employer said I was valuable. But then they laid me off several months later when I couldn’t perform like I used to. I couldn’t believe it – you were able to get another settlement for me because this was wrong. You were a great help to me. 

 I had spoken to two other lawyers before going to you. The others made me feel like I wasn’t important enough for them. One of them only had me meet his assistants on two different appointments and I never did meet him. I’m thankful I hired you and not him. From my first visit with you I knew you were the right ones. You made me feel like you were there for my legal rights and not just for the money. When I called back after several months you remembered all about me and my case just like it had been last week.

Sharon C., Randleman

You were very professional with my case. You were easy to work with and when I needed to talk with you if you were busy you would always return my call. I couldn’t have gotten these results because my employer and insurance company were hard to deal with.  

            Garland F., Lexington

I never had to worry about anything else after you became my lawyer. You knew what you were doing and I could call at any time there was a problem. I felt like your friend from the first visit. You stayed in close contact by phone and by letter, telling me all that was happening with my case. I would never have been able to follow through my case if it were not for you and your office. My settlement was due to your knowledge and capabilities.

Kaye M., Linwood

I was very happy… you were so knowledgeable. I knew from the very first visit that you were on top of things. I came to you on someone else’s recommendation and I was very pleased that I did. You always spoke very plainly without throwing big impressive words out. You never talked down to me and were always very polite in explaining everything.  

You always treated me with utmost respect and went out of your way to help. I’m sure I would have lost the case without your expertise. I can’t thank you enough for your help. You are very caring. You’re out there to help folks and not just take folks for their money.

Carolyn G., Walnut Grove

You are great people; you know every aspect of workers' compensation and used that to my benefit. You are so easy to be with that when I spoke to you I felt like I was talking to a member of my own family. Everyone was very down to earth and easy to speak with on every occasion.

If I didn’t have you I would be without a job and no compensation for my work-related injury. I wouldn’t hesitate to call you again. You were truly a blessing from God.

            Zona B., Bladenboro

I could never have done this without you. You absolutely are the experts in Workers' Compensation law. The previous attorney I had suggested I settle a 30% disability for $75,000.00 total settlement. I won’t say what you assisted me in obtaining, but… you were great to work with! You put up with many of my questions without making me feel foolish.

            David H., Pleasant Garden

I would like everyone to know that your office is a very, very professional office. I was so very pleased at how expert everyone was at their job and how you treat your clients.  Never did your office come across as stuffy from the first day I called until now. You have always treated me with great respect, honesty, and integrity. I could never have done this without you. I’m still thanking you today. You were right there all along – I thank God for you and your staff. 

            Brenda H., Lexington

You were great and easy to get along with and you never tried to hide information from me.  You did a marvelous job. There is no way at all I could have gotten the same results without your help. I would recommend you to others.

Carrie S., Burlington

You had great had knowledge of all the laws and were very easy to work with. In a timely manner my case was settled. I had had another attorney who quit my case. You were able to spot the problems immediately, fix them, and settle my case.

            Erica P., Danville

The Law Firm of Oxner Thomas + Permar appeared to be experts in every way. You were very easy to work with. You helped me in every way and were very professional about it.

Ora H., Mt. Airy

You were very much the experts in workers compensation law. You were very knowledgeable. If any problems arose you handled them with favorable outcomes for me. I was able to speak with you whenever I needed to regarding updates or questions on my case. This was often immediately but if not you promptly returned my call. You always took the time to sit down and talk with me and explain things to me. I absolutely could not have gotten the same results without your help.  

A friend of mine hired an attorney who was not an expert in workers compensation. After a small settlement was offered to him he went to Oxner Thomas + Permar. You were able to work a settlement for him that was seven times higher than the original attorney got. We are both firm believers in your office.   

Lisa B., Reidsville

I chose you because you really, really know workers' compensation. I don’t think I could have gotten the same results without your help and I really thank you for all your help. You are very nice people to have a case with.  

Felipe R., Advance

The people at Oxner Thomas + Permar were very easy to work with and very nice people who care about the clients they represent.
