OUR ATTORNEYS
Jonathan P. LaCour, Esq. and the attorneys at Employees First Labor Law. Injury and Accident Trial Lawyers take an aggressive and thoughtful approach to prosecuting its cases. As a result, the majority of their cases are so well prepared that defendants have no choice but to settle for substantial amounts before trial. We understand how difficult it can be to be treated so poorly, and to be facing life altering medical conditions. Our clients feel like the negligence of another took their dignity and put them in a position where they had no choice but to live with the consequences of someone else’s actions. We make it our mission to regain that dignity and secure generous compensation that gives your life meaning.
We pride ourselves as trial attorneys. This means that if we take your case, we will prepare as if we were going to trial even if we settle long beforehand. We enjoy taking defendants to trial & making examples out of them in court.

WHAT TO EXPECT – THE EFLL DIFFERENCE
We pride ourselves in providing a thorough, free, no-obligation consultation for your matter. Once we’ve had an initial consultation and we have decided to take your case, we will do a formal intake and begin the process for preparing your matter to be filed. We will make contact with your employer, request your company file, and begin the process of resolving your claim.
The EFFL difference is this: because our claims have fee-shifting statutes (meaning the defense pays our legal fees) we have a set structure of legal procedures that maximize the cost of legal fees specifically for your benefit. The result is that if we settle prior to trial, we drive up the settlement cost for our client and only take the contingency fee. For example, if your claim was worth $20,000 and we had $50,000 of attorneys fees, you share in the upside of a settlement at $70,000 & receive much more than the base value of your case (example for clarification purposes only).
