10/10 would recommend Schotter Millican to anyone seeking skilled and dedicated representation for a workers' comp case. I began my workers' comp journey with another attorney who, unfortunately, did not provide the support or guidance needed, leaving me at a disadvantage--especially as someone unfamiliar with the process.
Although switching lawyers in a workers' comp case can be challenging, I eventually connected with Joel Fredericson at Schotter Millican. From our first call, it was clear he was highly knowledgeable and thorough. He asked pointed questions and quickly identified several critical steps my prior lawyer had overlooked. It was both surprising and reassuring to finally speak with someone who clearly understood how to navigate my case. Despite its unique circumstances--given that I worked in an industry where workers' comp claims are rare--Joel believed in my case and took the time to carefully explain the path forward. I'm deeply grateful for his honesty, insight, and compassion.
My case was then led directly by Geoffrey Schotter and Najae Brock, whose expertise and professionalism were exceptional. They clearly outlined what to expect, what information they needed from me, and how the process would progress. Their guidance and communication made a tremendous difference, ultimately leading to the right outcome.
Workers' comp cases can be very long and emotionally draining, so having the right legal team is invaluable. I wish I had found Geoffrey Schotter sooner--but I'm very glad I did in the end. I can't recommend Schotter Millican highly enough.

Highly recommend! I reached out to Geoffrey Schotter when my mother's case looked impossible because her case was already closed. Rather than turning us away, Geoffrey took on the challenge. He managed to reopen the case, zealously advocate, and preserve issues for appeal. All these well thought out and strategic decisions led to us WINNING ON APPEAL! If there's an attorney that will not give up until he gets the outcome he wants, it's Geoffrey! Very satisfied with his work, and as an attorney myself, I would refer many more clients to him. Thank you Geoffrey for advocating for my mother and ensuring the best possible outcome given the circumstances!

Every Lawyer Turned Me Away Except Geoffrey Schotter.
When my employer, New York State, broke me under extreme conditions, pushing me into an acute mental health crisis, Geoffrey Schotter was the one who stepped in.
I had already reached out to multiple attorneys. Every single one turned me away. Not because my case wasn't real, but because it was too difficult, too risky, too untested. Geoffrey was the last lawyer I contacted before I was ready to represent myself. He was my last hope. And, as it turned out, he was the most important one.
He didn't just take my case. He examined every detail, anticipated every counterargument, and built something undeniable. He refused to let my suffering be dismissed as "just part of the job."
Beyond Representation: A Relentless Pursuit of Justice
What sets Geoffrey apart is that he doesn't just argue a case, he builds it with precision.
Every possible counterargument? Anticipated and dismantled.
Every potential weak point? Reinforced before it could be challenged.
By the time we got to summation, there was no shaky ground left to stand on.
And he didn't just take one route; he gave my case multiple paths to victory.
A clear argument for my claim as a work-related accident.
A strategic foundation for establishing it as an occupational disease if needed.
A preemptive dismantling of any claim that my breakdown was a lawful personnel action.
Each argument stood on its own, but together, they created something undeniable.
Sharp, Focused, and Completely Unapologetic
Geoffrey can be snappy, short, frustrated, and even frustrating at times. But that's what it takes to push the law forward.
When you're forcing the system to acknowledge its failures, when you're fighting for something that hasn't been fought before, there's no time for hesitation or unnecessary pleasantries. He operates at a level of focus, intensity, and precision that makes lesser arguments collapse before they even begin.
He doesn't waste words. He doesn't waste time. He gets to the point, and the point is razor-sharp.
If you're looking for a lawyer who will soften the truth or go through the motions, he's not your guy.
But if you want someone who will force the opposition to answer for every single thing they overlooked, dismissed, or ignored; who will push through legal barriers most attorneys wouldn't even think to challenge; this is the lawyer you need.
Staying Three Steps Ahead of the Opposition
Geoffrey didn't just respond; he dictated the pace.
The defense barely had room to move because he forced them to confront their own failures in a way they couldn't ignore. He took their best possible arguments and preemptively turned them against them.
And it wasn't just about me. He made sure the court saw the bigger picture: the systemic failure, the pattern of harm, the need for change.
This case was never just about compensation. It was about holding a system accountable for what it had done to its workers.
The Lawyer You Call When You Refuse to Be Dismissed
This isn't just about winning a case. It's about fighting for what's right in a system that hopes people like me give up. Geoffrey didn't just refuse to let me give up; he made sure I had the legal firepower to fight back.
I walked into this case expecting to fight alone. Instead, I found someone who fought with me for justice, for accountability, and for every worker who has ever been told that suffering is just part of the job.
The work of protecting healthcare workers, public servants, all of us is far from finished. The fight does not end in the courtroom. The law does not evolve without those who challenge its limits.
Geoffrey Schotter is not just a lawyer; he is proof that the battle for workers' rights is still worth fighting.

I am leaving this review for my attorney Geoff schotter and Millican firm. I had a job injury and I retained an attorney but my old attorney and his firm would not respond to me in a timely manner leaving me begging for a call and updates on my case. so what I did was switched attorneys because I could not deal with that law firm any more they very unprofessional. I started to research other attorney and came across Mr schotter firm and when I read his reviews they were outstanding so I decided to contact him hopefully he would take my case because I already had an attorney that did nothing for my case. However, mr schotter took my case and I was grateful that I got him as my new attorney. He's a fighter and will fight for what you deserve. The insurance company wanted to lower my check but mr. schotter got my percentage higher. He also gets back to you in a timely manner. I am very pleased with them and his Paralegal Brock is also very pleasant to deal with he also returns your calls and emails as well in a timely manner. If you need a good attorney please don't hesitate to call mr schotter firm schotter and Millican he's the best attorneys out there that will fight for you.
