They took the time to answer all our questions about my husband's worker's comp case and did everything they could to make the process as easy for us as possible.  We would highly recommend them for your legal needs.

They have the knowledge and haven't forgotten how to treat people with kindness and respect.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I used this firm to help with a workman's comp dispute. We started the process on February 1, 2023 and had a settlement agreement by August 22, 2023.
I found the office staff to be friendly and more than capable to answer my questions and guide me through this process. Pam Worley and Rose Fagan sent prompt emails letting me know what I needed to do and the status of the claim.
Mr. Rob Usry was patient and called personally to let me know what was happening and what the next step would be. He negotiated well with the Workman's Comp legal team and reached a fair agreement.
If you are looking for an attorney that communicates well, is friendly, and will work in you behalf, I strongly recommend Holland & Usry, P.A.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got hurt on the job in Gaffney SC. I saw rather quickly that I was going to need help. Rob Usry was referred by a friend who had a great experience with their services.  So I contacted them and it was the best move I could have ever made.  Rob and his staff were amazing they treated  me and my wife like family.  They left no stone unturned while working on my case and I could not be happier with the results. I would highly recommend Rob Usry and his team to anyone who is in need of a lawyer in the upstate.  They are the best in the business.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rob Ursy PA and Rose Fagan did a wonderful job with my workmen compensation case.  I slipped at my work in Spartanburg, SC.  I was treated respectfully and that I was important.  They helped me communicate with workmen compensation to get a case the right way.  Communicate with opposing counsel.   An settlement was offered.  Ultimately, I settled with workmen compensation insurance thru my work.  The settlement was for good bit more than was originally offered. I am glad I got what I needed to get my injury repaired. Thank you!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Seeking help from an attorney was not on my radar when I was injured at work.  Unfortunately, workers compensation became a barrier between me and the treatment I needed.  Months battling workers compensation, being questioned relentlessly and then rejected, I contacted Holland & Usry, P.A.
Mr. Usry and his team went to bat for me and I received the necessary treatment I needed, in addition to medical bills being paid.  Workers compensation is a bear to deal with.  If not for Mr. Usry and Rose, I would still be in a needless and stressful battle with them - this I am sure!
I am extremely grateful for the honesty, integrity and compassion given me from this group!  My journey is still in motion and Mr. Usry and Rose are taking care of business!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My  husband and  I were victims of a hit and run accident about a year ago,  My husband suffered a cracked  clavicle and deep bruises to both knees, my injuries required a session of physical  therapy.  We had never been in an accident,   and we felt victimized - our car was totaled, and we both suffered panful injuries.  Following advice of friends and family, we decided to consult an attorney.  Rob Usry was highly recommended, and we decided to ask him to represent us.  Rob and his staff - Rose and Pam - were professional, thorough and supportive . They walked us through every step of the way. Since my husband and i are senior citizens with little experience with lawsuits, and  unreliable computer skills, we needed help.   Rose  patiently  answered our question and coached us along through computer glitches. Pam would  organize and evaluate the seemingly endless maze of medical bills.  When it came time to  dicker with with insurance
companies, Rob was the  persistent master of negotiations,  and we are very happy with the  outcomes of our case.  We are thankful to Rob Usry , Attorney At Law. and his staff, and highly recommend them to help you find the answers to the question - I Just Got In a South Carolina Car Accident. Now What.?

Mediation May Be the Key to Your South Carolina Accident Injury Settlement

Mediation is a way to try to settle the case that’s become extremely popular because it works. More and more South Carolina injury case are going to mediation. In many counties, including Spartanburg, Cherokee, and Union, the court system requires personal injury cases to be mediated. And South Carolina medical malpractice cases must be mediated before a lawsuit can even be filed. Parties can also agree to mediation.

What mediation is: Medication is a process, usually taking a day or less depending on the complexity of the case and the severity of the injuries, where the parties hire an experienced lawyer—called a mediator—to help them try to settle a lawsuit. “Mediator” basically means “go-between”: the mediator works with both sides to help them move towards settlement. In a South Carolina injury case, a mediator tries to get the victim to take less money and the wrongdoer to offer more until they reach an amount everyone can live with.Mediation is designed to be cooperative, not confrontational. It is confidential, to encourage the parties to discuss all strengths and weaknesses of both sides of the case to reach the proper evaluation of the case from both sides so they can settle it.
How mediation works: Mediation usually opens with both parties making a very brief presentation about the most important strengths of their case. Then the parties split up into rooms of their own so the mediator can spend the rest of the time talking to one party at a time, discussing issues with the case, and passing settlement offers between parties. While it’s a little bit of a strange process, it really does seem to work in most cases. If the case doesn’t settle at mediation, we prepare for trial.

Our Spartanburg Family Lawyers View Mediation As Trial Preparation

Before mediation, we usually present the mediator with a detailed outline of our evaluation of the case, from who you are and what witnesses will say to the holes we can punch in the other side’s case, with a summary of all your medical treatment plus all of your medical bills and a thorough evaluation of the extent of your pain and suffering. This allow the mediator to clearly see how a jury would agree with the value of your case, to help him push the other party to properly compensate you in settlement. Having armed him to help us, we report fully prepared to the mediation. If we can’t settle it at mediation, we just use the mediation outline as our guide to trying the case.

If you have a personal injury case you think might benefit from mediation, feel free to call us at toll-free at (864) 582-0416 for a free meeting to talk about it with us.
