On December 10, 2021 I was hurt at work and had 2 herniated discs in my lumbar section of my back. The company sent me to the Doctor, they did a x-ray and I went straight to physical therapy after weeks of not getting better I got ahold of Keith Yarwood at Edelman and Thompson (a friend recommended him) Mr. Yarwood started working on my case as I kept doing what the Doctor's had me do. In the spring of 2022 the decision to have surgery was made and on October 5, 2022 I had surgery but when I woke up in post opp. I was paralyzed on my life side from my waist down. After getting out of the hospital I started physical therapy again. After months of physical therapy I was released from Doctors care around the 1st of August 2023. Now while I was going through all of this Mr. Yarwood was working hard getting evaluated by 2 of the best medical people in the Midwest one of them works with big time Professional sports teams around KC, MO. Mr. Yarwood put together all the medical records and I don't know everything that goes into a work comp case but he did it all with help from his legal team. At the end I was satisfied with the end result. The one thing that made it so my wife and I could make it through this was the people at Edelman and Thompson.
Think you for everything you did for my wife and I. Tim F

Carl and Erica are the team that everyone and anyone who deals with work comp. Needs.....
Erica is very diligent in her work for your case and keeps you informed of any aspect of the case. Day or night doesn't matter to them, if it is important to your case, they will let you know......
Carl is straight forward and gets the very best outcome dealing with work comp cases. Being a former work comp judge makes the process seamless and systematic. As there are no short cuts, and Carl makes that process known to the opposite attorneys.
Believe me when I say that these two are the addition at Edelman and Thompson Firm, that get results and holds work comp accountable in every aspect from start to finish. I am so glad I listened to my wife when searching for a work comp attorney in the beginning to have Carl Mueller and Erica Smiley in my corner is a God send for real.
I hope I NEVER get hurt at work, but IF I do, BELIEVE ME I'M CALLING calling Carl and Erica again. Thanks guys for the positive work for a positive outcome.

Working with Steffanie Stracke through Edelman&Thompson was a pleasure. She made sure I was taken care of on my lawsuit. I ended up getting more than 3 times the amount I was originally quoted.
