Victories

A firm that gets results.

Real outcomes for real clients — personal injury settlements, workers’ compensation recoveries and criminal defense results.

Personal Injury

$550,000

Our elderly client was severely injured in a car accident caused by an aide from the home health care company that employed her. Eden Rafferty attained a large settlement.

Workers’ Comp

$200,000

The insurer offered $100,000 and tried to reduce benefits — even though it was clear the employee couldn’t return to work. Eden Rafferty doubled the offer and secured lifetime coverage of related medical costs.

Read case study

A skilled tradesman was knocked over by a co-worker operating heavy machinery, fracturing his ankle, foot and toes. He could not stand for more than an hour at a time, yet the insurer moved to cut his benefits based on an examination by its own doctor. Eden Rafferty took the case before a judge of the Department of Industrial Accidents, helped him apply for SSDI, and negotiated a lump sum of nearly three years of his annualized salary plus lifetime coverage of ongoing medical costs. His Social Security award arrived less than a year after he applied.

Auto Accidents

$85,000

Insurance offered $1,500. After a driver ran a stop sign, our client needed cervical spine surgery; through underinsured-motorist arbitration she was awarded $50,000 on top of a $35,000 settlement.

Read case study

The driver’s policy limit of $35,000 could not cover medical bills of more than $50,000. Her own insurer argued that surgery 20 months after the crash was unrelated and that she hadn’t really been suffering. Eden Rafferty filed for mandatory arbitration and showed that symptoms began immediately after the accident and persisted until the surgery resolved them — turning an offer of under $2,000 into $85,000 in total.

What Our Clients Say

In their words.

Thank you so much for seeing through the muddy waters and bringing this to closure. I can’t tell you how relieved I am to have this squared away and moving forward. I appreciate greatly your ability to navigate this situation so quickly and with very little time and background knowledge of this case. I am truly sorry if I sounded gruff and that things ended up to be a bit of a scramble preparing for today. I tried to get you everything that you needed, but it seemed like you knew just how to handle it. Thanks again for everything and I will keep you in mind for future legal matters.
— LM
Thank you for your help. Without your professionalism and quick attention , I do not believe that my matter would have been resolved. Your advice was sound and I was able to get the outcome that I was seeking. If I ever need legal counsel (which I hope I will not), I would not hesitate to contact you again.
— NG
Attorney Jane Eden is an excellent attorney. She did a great job handling my case and that was after I was told by other attorneys that I did not have a case. She is a caring professional that displays a genuine concern for her clients’ well being. In a court setting, she was very effective and well respected by both the judge and the other attorneys. Her office is conveniently located with easy parking. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced attorney.
— A.N.
With a personal touch and all the knowledge you could ever need, Jane Eden worked at getting the case reviewed, resolved, and finalized with a professional and friendly manor. We cannot say enough about how great we were treated. Never a question as she made sure we had all the information we needed at any time and quick to respond with extreme attention to detail. We will only think of this practice if we ever need anything again and will refer any family and friends to her as we were shown great respect and a more than willing attitude to get the job done. Thank you so much, Jane.
— W.R.
I would highly recommend Richard Rafferty’s services to anyone that is looking for an extremely ethical, trustworthy and expert attorney. All of his services are handled with the highest degree of urgency as well with exceptional professionalism. Mr. Rafferty has been extraordinarily helpful, providing informed business advice and solutions to all my inquiries and created a solid strategy and approach to resolving all potential legal issues. As a result, Mr. Rafferty protected my assets and fortified my professional reputation. Mr. Rafferty and his skilled support team delivered superior service.
— C.M.
Attorney Rafferty was extremely helpful to my wife and I during a terrible personal injury case, involving my son. His attention and thoroughness with regards to the logistics and protocol of the process was comforting as it allowed us to concentrate on our son. The settlement was more than fair, and most important, our son was never put in an uncomfortable position, which was paramount. I would recommend attorney Rafferty to any friend, family member or business associate.
— N. T.
Richard has handled a few matters for me over the years and has provided excellent service every time. He genuinely cares about your case, takes the time to sit and talk to you, and then aggressively works on your behalf. He’s helped me and my family through several tough times and I wouldn’t think twice about going back to him if I needed an attorney again.
— R. A.
The first thing every client needs secured, from their lawyer, is trust. From minute one Attorney Rafferty secured my trust and that trust has never wavered. Followed up with a great team, integrity above reproach and competence to match the highest standards, I knew I was in great hands. I would recommend Richard Rafferty to any friend, family member or colleague.
— B.M.
They are very professional and they have fought for me to get what I deserved. If I had any concerns, they always helped me and returned my calls, and let me know they are behind 100%. Call Jane, Richard or Bonnie, wonderful attorneys, and they will answer your question and solve the problem.
— K.B.
I would like to start by saying thank you for your help with my case. I had the pleasure of working with the best Attorneys and staff. I had many questions and concerns throughout the process of my claim, and always received a prompt, informative and courteous response. The office staff was always professional and kind. I am pleased to say when you are in position where you need to leave life altering extremely difficult situations in someone else hands, my recommendation is the Law Office of Eden Rafferty Attorneys at Law.
— P.M.
Jane Eden handled my mother’s Workers’ Comp case. After years of fighting with the insurance company and many physical examinations my mother had to go through, Jane fought for her and settled the case that was fair to us. Without her help and expertise my mother would not have gotten what she deserved.
— P.L.
I was fortunate enough to be recommended to the firm when I had a worker’s comp injury. Jane Eden and Dave Maille were the attorneys that handled my case. My phone calls and questions ….and there were many….were always answered promptly. Because of their diligence,the case was settled in my favor without having to go to trial. If you need a comp lawyer, this is the place to go
