I had a "hearing" and my primary attorney did not know my case. We sat back in the Worker's comp DIR office waiting for the judge, the defense attorney showed up a hour late and nothing ever took place. To this day, the hearing was seven years ago this month. You must have a decent attorney because my attorney is unwilling to take anything before a judge, he rolls over and play's dead with each "treatment denial" my adjuster sends in the mail.

I am very bad tempered and I think I would have screamed at my attorney if he told me to "shut up", "what kind of employer allows his employee to abuse him or his wife?" the attorney is your employee and has not business being rude.
