It’s hard to gather words for a simple review for this team that convey the level of gratitude I have for them. I was lost, and even signed on with another firm that I received very little to no attention from. I found Shook and Stone through the grapevine of my research, and within 24 hours of reaching out, I was given a one-on-one video consultation with Shelby Castro, breaking down how they do things. (No matter who you go with, have a consultation first! S&S taught me that by their prompt action) I immediately requested termination from the first firm I signed with and with Shook and Stone.
Raine Levinson outdid herself with dedication and patience to my case. I had a slip and fall at a restaurant I devoted 7 years to, I got shorted thousands of dollars by workmen’s comp of Nevada, no blame on my restaurant manager, but they didn’t fill out the workmen’s comp paperwork correctly. Raine went through every single document and paper check stub of myn (1yr to date back) and got me not only every single penny I deserved (before the case was closed) but also encouraged me to log EVERY mile spent on trips to appointments to get mileage checks, and oh boy did that pay off.
I was patient with Raine, and she was patient with me while I asked and re-asked some of the same questions in order to understand. (My first time dealing with an attorney) She was extremely helpful and there for me with every question I had. She would even call me to make sure I understood what came/was coming my way and to double check certain paperwork. There are certain guidelines I had to follow at the beginning while I was still out of work and healing and I followed them. As well as being patient with the process. I am very pleased with my settlement. Or as I would truly say, f***ing stoked and grateful. My case is now closed (with option to reopen although it doesn’t really apply to my case) and I have the check in my hand 2 months after my last doctor’s appointment.
If it weren’t for Shook and Stone, the restaurant would have continued taking advantage of my kindness (awesomeness as an employee) at no cost to them, with only tribulation to myself with no compensation.
My injury was a slice to the palm of my hand; slicing my thumb flexor tendon and both of the nerves to my thumb. Surgery was done and then occupational therapy followed for months after.
Thank you Shook and Stone. And Raine, no words can convey the gratitude. You changed my life, for the better. I will never forget your efforts. Thank you indefinitely.
