  • NYS Workers‚ Compensation

Testimonials

Dave, a former Niagara Falls firefighter says:

“As a 20 year vet of the Niagara Falls Fire Department, 16 of that on the Executive Board of the Union, I was accustom to fighting City Hall. However after a career ending collapse of a roof, several neck and back surgeries, I was going to be fighting alone, for mine and my families survival. With so much at stake, I called the only man I could trust with such an important case, Thomas J. Jordan. Both Tom, and his associates handled all aspects of this case with care, understanding and professionalism beyond reproach. Whether it was a 6 hour drive from Albany to Buffalo/Lockport for a ½ hour meeting, to filing papers in Albany in a timely fashion, it was all done for me so I didn’t have to worry about it. I’ll never be 100% again, but after receiving my disability retirement, at least I know my family will be provided for 100% after I’m gone. After all isn’t the protection of your family worth it? I highly recommend Thomas Jordan for your Disability Retirement.”

Chris, a former Colonie police officer says:

“I found the service provided by Mr. Jordan and his law firm to be very professional, knowledgeable, and caring in working my way through very trying and unfortunate circumstances.”
