First and foremost, I have to say Abbot, Clay,& Bedoy Law Firm are literally the best workmen comp law firm I have ever dealt with. From the moment I became Izzak’s Client he gave me his full and undivided attention every time I called. He did above and beyond an excellent job, not only representing me as an attorney, but just going to bat for me with the company itself. Izzak It’s such a talented lawyer you would be a fool not to hire him in your Workmen’s Comp. case. He is truly amazing at what it is that he does. I have also had the pleasure of working with Bill Abbott as well. And let me tell you something Mr. Bill knows how to bill them numbers. When he came to the amount that I should be getting weekly from my job, Mr. Bill went above and beyond my expectations and exceeded everything that I could have imagined happening. This law firm is literally top-tier even after winning my case when he comes to my treatment for my neck back and shoulder, they are continuously in my corner, making sure that I’m getting to my appointments making sure that I’m doing OK and I appreciate them so much for that. So if you ever get injured at work and you need a damn good lawyer on your side, you better call Abbot, Clay,& Bedoy Law Firm And tell them that Alexis sent you. These guys are the truth, and the truth is what’s going to get you in the door to winning,
Response from the owner:Thank you, Alexis, for such a powerful and detailed review. It really means a lot to hear how supported you felt throughout your case. Izzak takes pride in being available and going to bat for his clients, and it is great to see that reflected so clearly in your experience. We also appreciate you recognizing Bill’s work in making sure your benefits were calculated properly, that kind of attention can make a real difference. Most of all, we are glad you continue to feel supported even after your case, because that ongoing care matters. Thank you again for your trust and for sharing your story, and we wish you continued progress in your recovery and health.

Let me first state that, up until this time, I was not a fan of attorneys. I was severely injured at work to date, requiring two major surgeries. Almost two years into this nightmare, I was assigned my fourth adjuster, and what a nightmare it has been! They cut off my pay and refused to pay mileage reimbursement for treatments or even answer phone calls and emails. I finally gave in on a Saturday night after facing eviction. Bill Abbott called me personally that evening, and the next day, "a Sunday," I had a contract and someone finally on my side. Bill and his crew have answered every phone call, email, and question I have had. He would go out of his way to give me updates as well. Not only did he get my pay started back and my mileage reimbursement, he found where they had underpaid me by almost $10,000! If you have been hurt at work or need a good lawyer, I highly recommend contacting this law firm. Do NOT go it alone! The process is quick, transparent, and costs you nothing out of pocket. Bill Abbott has proven to be honest, transparent, and truly a blessing. I wish I had retained his services sooner! Make the call!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Bobby, for sharing your experience. We’re truly grateful for your kind words. Bill Abbott and the rest of our team strive to provide the best support and advocacy for our clients, especially in challenging times. We are pleased to know that Bill's dedication and expertise made a significant difference in your case. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we wish you all the best on your road to recovery. If you ever need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Clay and Bill (aka The Texas Screwdriver) took the time to communicate with me in a professional, courteous, and informative manner. They both were thoroughly attentive and transparent throughout the entire process. Abbott and Associates has truly been a blessing and God sent. I am very confident that Abbot and Associates will go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure their clients are top priority.

Awesome Law Firm ! Very Professional and responsive group of attorneys . Mr. Clay who is one of the Attorneys at the firm is the Best Attorney that I have ever encountered in my 53 years on this earth. I am So thankful that he was assigned to my case . Mr. Clay was so very well prepared to present my case before the Judge , That once he started presenting our opening statement, I realized that this young man was here to seek justice for me and that losing was not an option for him . I was So impressed by his knowledge of the laws and how he presented or shall I say , How he injected a particular law into my case anytime that my employer’s attorney would bring up different events. Mr. Clay helped me prepare for my hearing by telling me to just be truthful and to the point, And do not drag your answers on and on and just relax . Mr. Clay is the Real Deal and he seems to not get intimidated by other lawyers or the Judge. Thanks Very Much to you Mr. Clay and the Bill Abbott Firm for representing me in my workmen compensation case . Thanks Again 👍

I cannot say enough great things about Nikki Boyd my attorney, and Mr Bill Abbott and any of the staff that worked with her and me and never left me wondering or worried about anything that had to do with my case. She is truly my hero. Without Nikki, fighting and working so hard for me, I would have never known had badly I had been deliberately lied to, cheated, and left to fend for myself. I am so very blessed to have had her on my side and she has done so for nearly 2 years now. She found out so much that had been forged, hidden, and outright cheated out of that I wouldn’t have ever known. From my wages, amenities and more that had been stripped from me, not only by my ex employer, but the workers Comp company as well and exposed their deceit and forced them to take care of their responsibility not only to me but also to the mounting thousands of dollars in medical bills the company was intentionally not paying to my doctors, clinics, therapy, She put them on their heels and saved me from being taken advantage of from the very day she took my case. She made my healing process so much more bearable She always made sure no matter what questions i had, bug or small, if I sent an email, she repitiese, if I called, she answered or returned the call. Even in lapses of legal activity between resolutions of things, she still would check in on me personally and ask foe actual reports from my dr appointments etc Even those are a lot of words, it still cannot portray the blessing it has been for me, to have Nikki Boyd, Bill Abbott, and the best law firm of Abbott and Associates have my back. I can never thank Nikki enough!

My name is Tim G. (I am that I am), and I highly recommend Abbott & Associates, particularly Mr. Bill Abbott. Unequivocally, Mr. Abbott is a skilled, capable, attorney that will advocate on your behalf in a manner that gets results. With his expert knowledge in Workers Compensation he will tell you the facts base on governing laws and procedures. Without overhype and let you know where you stand base on his knowledge and vast experience. He will under promise but over deliver base on where your indiviual case within governing laws. I can tell you from personal experience of his representation of over two years. That you will not be disappointed in his representation. Nor do you have to worry about Mr. Abbott responding to your inquiries. His manner of professional conduct, and ethics is beyound reproach. In my opinion base on facts and personal experience, you will not find a better Advocate. If you want a true professional to fight for your Workers Compensation rights. Then you want Mr. Bill Abbott. Abbott & Associates is the right choice. For me his firm was not only the right choice but the only choice!

Abbott & Associates made me feel that my injuries and case circumstances were their first priority. They represented my concerns about receiving appropriate care and insurance benefits from start to finish. The attorneys working my case, Joe Bedoy and Corey Collins, were accessible and kept me informed the entire time. They, along with Bill Abbott and the entire staff get an A+ in my book. Thank you!

Response from the owner:We extend our sincere thanks to this gentleman for allowing us to help him with this claim. This has been a difficult, complex case with many issues to resolve over the course of two years, and it’s not over yet. When we first took this case, the insurance company was disputing many issues, including entitlement to income benefits and medical care. Mr. Desmond’s case goes forward, despite continued efforts by the workers’ comp insurance company to rob him of his entitlement to benefits.
