Nobody looks forward to needing a workers’ compensation attorney. But if you are in this position because your workers’ compensation claim was denied or you’ve suffered a life-changing work injury or illness, it’s vital to seek help from a professional who is qualified, honest and trustworthy. With so many legal practitioners out there, this can be a difficult task, especially if you’ve never had to hire an attorney before.
When searching for the best attorney, a good place to start is by reviewing prospective attorneys’ accolades and awards from authoritative organizations—not to congratulate them, but rather because these distinctions can be a reliable indication of their experience and qualifications.
So if you are looking for the best workers’ compensation attorney in Montana, you may be interested in knowing that Founder and Senior Partner of Murphy Law Firm, Thomas J. Murphy (Big Tom, to us), recently received the prestigious President’s Award from the Workers’ Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) at their 2021 national convention in Palm Beach, Florida.
Remarkably, this is the second time Big Tom has received this award—an accomplishment few workers’ compensation attorneys have achieved—which demonstrates his dedication to protecting the rights of injured workers in Montana. He was first awarded this honor in 2019.
“I’m honored and humbled to be chosen for this award once again,” said Tom. “I’ve always been passionate about helping injured Montanans and their families recover, and I consider it a great privilege and responsibility to make a difference in the lives of my clients.”
