Lawyer with a Heart

Three years ago I filed Workers Comp with the company I worked for, and it was the second time I had to file, the first was on my wrist for Carpel Tunnel, which the company took proper care of me, so I got the surgery and continued on with my life.

But the last time the repetitive motion had moved into my elbows, the company fought tooth and nail not wanting to take care of the problem. They even managed to find reason to terminate my employment during the fight. In desperation I called a friend who is a lawyer seeking help. She did not handle those type cases but gave me the name and number of someone that did.

You always hear of Lawyers, being sharks, snakes, heartless and more. I am here to tell you I have found a saint in the legal field. David Smith is that person. The first doctor did a surgery with a low success rate, and it did not take, I was in pain constantly and could not even lift a jug of milk with my left hand, to make matters worse I am left handed. David went and got me changed to a different Doctor who started me on therapy trying to save my dominate arm. In the middle of therapy I suffered a Massive heart attack, I coded and it took them a hour and a half to stabilize me, at the time no one knew if I would be alright it was just an imperative to save me. The day of the Heart Attack I had a Doctor's appointment which I no showed on, kinda hard when you are in the ER fighting for your life. Well the company I use to work for tried to stop my income while I was laying there, with out a thought David was in Court keeping everything in line. He even sent flowers to my room. When I was able to function again, which is still called a miracle, everything was in order. During the time I was in the hospital my father renewed my Auto insurance during the chaos that followed I lost track of the date, well six months an one day later I got into a auto accident and discovered I had no Auto Insurance, I went to David and he said let me handle it. Also I had been out of work long enough my insurance has lapsed so I am now Five Hundred Thousand in medical debt, he will help with courts on that matter. I told him of my dream to be a professional writer, she said I will help you legally.

When I told him I would never be able to repay him for all he is doing, he said don't worry about it he will get his payment when he see St. Peter. Yes he will get money in the work Comp settlement, but he is doing so much more than is expected, and out of the kindness of his heart.
