Our Clients Say It Best
“Wertz Law Firm, specifically Mindi Vervaecke through Wertz Law Firm, did an absolutely stellar job with guiding me through the workers compensation process, and eventually procuring a nice settlement for me due to an on the job injury. My injury was to my mid/upper spine, and while the worker’s compensation process is rough and confusing, Mindi was there to fill me in and get me everything an injured worker could need. Mindi is THE BEST you can get for aide when you get hurt on the job. Do not hesitate to contact her.”
“Mindi did an outstanding job with my work comp shoulder injury case. She answered all my questions in a timely manner and was very polite and helpful. She got me what I deserved and even obtained back pay I was owed due to incorrect calculations on the workers compensation side of things. I would most definitely recommend her services to anyone else I know that goes through a work comp injury and needs help.”
“Good evening Mindi. I appreciate your expertise and determination in my case against Hy-Vee. I took quite a fall when working there and injured my arm and shoulder. You guided me through the steps I should take in order to get through the process. I appreciate your patience every step of the way. Thank you and staff for everything you did.”
