NPR reports on workers’ compensation for military contractors

The NPR program Fresh Air broadcast a story on January 11 titled “Wounded in Wars, Civilian Face Care Battle At Home.” It is based on the reporting on T. Christian Miller and his series of articles, “Disposable Army.” The story discusses what happens to military contractors who are injured while working abroad, and the incredible difficulties they face trying to obtain workers’ compensation under the Defense Base Act. Definitely worth checking out.

Estoy sumamente agradecido con el equipo de Johnson & Groninger por todo su apoyo. Desde el principio -incluso antes de ser oficialmente su cliente- me trataron con el mayor respeto. Jennifer es una abogada extremadamente capaz que realmente se preocupa por la comunidad latina. Ella y su asistente, Jose Romero, me brindaron orientación y apoyo constantes durante todo mi proceso legal. Contar con una firma como esta es una bendición para nuestra comunidad, ya que eliminan la barrera del idioma y trabajan incansablemente para obtener los mejores resultados para sus clientes. ¡Altamente recomendados!

I highly recommend this group! Valerie and her staff care about you as a person and make sure all your needs are taken care of. You can count on your matters being a top priority…during my five years of being a client, I was always given an answer to any questions on the same day without delay. The entire staff goes above and beyond to take care of you!

I always recommend Johnson & Groninger to people with harassment, sex abuse, workers compensation, and bike law matters. They are excellent attorneys who care about their clients and justice. They exemplify how all lawyers should be!

Being a police officer, I have dealt with a lot of law firms, but as far as I’m concerned, I was completely happy with what Valerie did. She really did her homework. I have already recommended her to others who are looking for workers’ compensation representation.

Ethical, intelligent, effective and genuine coupled with being a skillful negotiator best describes my personal experience with Ms. Groninger. Her uncanny ability to work respectfully with all clients garners positive results. I highly recommend Ms. Groninger without reservation!

Valerie is professional and very knowledgeable in workers compensation law. The staff was excellent especially Elizabeth. All calls were returned promptly. All questions were answered with patience and understanding. I felt confident that this law firm would resolve all issues that we were confronted with. There was always someone there that we could talk to.
