    I really cant say better things about everyone at this law firm. From my first phone call, to meeting Joe in person for the first time, I knew I was going to be in great hands. Something about Joes presence, and the way he made me feel like we had known each other for years, was invaluable. Every step of the way through this incredibly difficult and frustrating process, he made me feel like he was on top of everything, and really helped me feel at ease on those really bad days. I dont know if I could have made it through this whole process without Joe and his paralegal, Leslie. She was also everything I needed, especially when I needed her support. I always felt that Joe was fighting for me as if I was his own family. I can promise that if you choose Atkins Law Firm that you will not regret it. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

    I saw the commercial for years, watched, and listened to Holly talk about her firm and what her father's legacy represented. I stood at a far distance as a spectator and commercial critic until I needed them myself by the way, I like the commercial. Self said, Now look at you, who you gonna call I never filed a Worker's Compensation claim before, so of course the slogan Who you call matters, came to my mind immediately. I always heard horror stories about how difficult Worker's Compensation can be. To this end, I called the Atkins Law Firm, after I experienced a work injury this year. I left a message and immediately someone called and it was, Holly. She took my information and I quickly connected with Attorney Looper. She is amazing and so is her staff. I was treated like family from day 1 and I have referred friends of the family to this amazing firm. Attorney Looper is like an Auntie and she is funny Her candid personality and her genuine care is felt through and through. If I did not hear from Attorney Looper, her team Ashlyn, Tiffany, Michael, and Elizabeth kept me informed every step of the way. Lastly, but not least with so much more good things to say. I will leave you with this, WHO YOU CALL MATTERS.

Joe, Leslie and Lynn have been amazing in handling my case. Months later I still feel like more than just a client and potential income. They were supportive in my life's challenges, even sent me a card after a surgery I had, they also celebrated in my life's joys and sent my daughter a card upon her graduation from high school. They didn't allow me to be railroaded by the attorney from the other side and helped me acquire fair compensation for my injuries. Again I HIGHLY recommend this law firm if you have any workers comp issues. Thanks again guys for everything.

    My experience with Atkins Law Firm was EXCEPTIONAL The ENTIRE TEAM did an OUTSTANDING job with every aspect of my worker's compensation case. I was informed every step of the way. All of my concerns and questions were answered promptly. During the case I lost a family member and I also became ill. Holly, Joe, Lynn, Elizabeth, Dewana and team I can not give enough accolades and gratitude to for doing and excellent job I felt like family from day one which means a lot to me because too often that is not the case and you are treated like a number. I NEVER felt that way as a client of Atkins Law Firm. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and I hope I will not need their services in the future, however, if I do, they will be my FIRST call. Thank you from my whole heart for everything you all have done for me and my family. The cards you sent, the calls you made, and most importantly something that's priceless the TIME that you spent to do your jobs well above my expectations. My most humble gratitude to you all

    I turned to the Atkins Law Firm when I was injured at work and workers compensation was not responding to me. Dewana took my case very seriously and worked tirelessly to help me. All of the attorneys and staff in this practice are kind and competent. My wife and I were always treated with respect and like we were family. I was kept informed and consulted through every step of the process. I was very pleased with my results. I would highly recommend the Atkins Law Firm.

    I was injured at work a few months back. After speaking with with the worker's compensation case manager, I decided it was in my best interest to find an attorney. Atkins Law Firm was recommended to me by another firm because my case is dealing with Amazon and they have a lot of experience dealing with this company.The first time I met with Dewanna I knew this was the attorney for me. Since hiring them on I have always been able to talk with someone concerning my case. And if I needed to speak with Dewanna and she was busy her paralegal would set up a call back time for me. I am currently going through a custody battle as well. And let me tell you my family law attorney is night and day to this firm. I am lucky to even get a call back and when I do it's always 34 days later. Which if anyone has been through a custody battle they can be very emotional and personally I think this is unacceptable.I just received a Christmas card from Atkins Law and Dewanna called me today just to check on me and wish me a Merry Christmas. If you are searching for a firm to represent you in this field it doesn't get any better than Atkins Law FirmI will update this review upon resolution of my case but I know I am in great hands with Dewanna and her team.
