Filing a Claim
Around six years ago my wife and I were going through some severe medical conditions which were attributed to work related injuries. We had no money coming and things were beginning to get pretty hectic. I didn't know what to do. The attorney that represented us at the time kept assuring my wife and me that things would be ok, but he wasn't doing his job. After talking with a friend of mine and telling him what my situation was he suggested for me to give Attorney Sousa a call.
After meeting with Attorney Sousa I realized that, what was happening to us could be dealt with in a different manner. Attorney Sousa outlined a plan for us and said he could help us that he had a complete understanding of the worker's compensation laws in CT. My wife and I agreed to fire our existing attorney and hire attorney Sousa. Once Attorney Sousa got our case files and reviewed our cases he went to work on them. Within a month or so, it became apparent that he knew what he was doing. He was able to get us money coming and the surgery that I needed.
When I came to Attorney Sousa I was in financial difficulties and had bill collectors chasing me all over the place. He was able to get me the money I needed and the surgery to fix me. I owe my life to Attorney Sousa. He did a great job got me and my wife and I would recommend him to any one. Attorney Sousa really cares about his clients and is very sympathetic to them. This is really important to me, because he doesn't look at the bottom line. He looks at how can I help you in a time of need and shows compassion at the same time.
