Mr. Overholt believes in his clients and stands by them no matter what legal obstacles are thrown in his way.

Was Your Workers’ Comp Claim Denied? Do Not Despair.

Our attorney can protect your rights throughout all stages of the workers’ compensation appeals process, including:

  • Conciliation: This is a meeting between you (and your attorney), your employers’ counsel and a third-party conciliator who facilitates the meeting and tries to help you reach agreements.
  • Conference: If you do not reach an agreement through conciliation, the next stage is a hearing before a workers’ compensation judge.
  • Hearing: Your next opportunity is a formal hearing in which you will be able to present medical evidence before a judge and call witnesses on your behalf.
  • California Workers’ Comp Appeals Board (WCAB): The appeals board will hear arguments from both sides and render a decision. If you are still not satisfied with the result, you can file an appeal with a California state appeals court, all the way to the California Supreme Court.

This is a complex process and should be handled by an attorney with the knowledge and skills to navigate the system. You do not have to face it alone and you do not have to accept an unfavorable result without a fair fight.
