Can't say enough good things about Ellen Deaver and her team with Atwood Law. From day one, to the day we reached a settlement, Ellen and her team were easily accessible, kind and professional, yet treated us like family. We will be forever grateful for the job Ellen did in handling my husband's Work Comp case. Highly recommend Ellen Deaver with Atwood Law.

I consulted with attorney and partner, Travis Spier, on my legal issues resulting from a semi accident. At the onset, my brain was fuzzy and I was struggling to organize my thoughts, which was emotionally scary and cognitively frustrating for me. Travis and his assistants showed professionalism, patience, and consideration while I communicated my potential legal needs. Travis provided sound legal advice that helped me make positive choices for my health and occupational situation. I felt like a person that mattered because Travis always responded within a timely manner if I had to leave a message

I cannot recommend Travis Spier and his team highly enough. His commitment, attention to detail, diligence, and compassion meant everything to me and to my family as we navigated a horrible worker's compensation lawsuit. Travis and his team were patient with our questions, and made themselves available to discuss any aspect of the case. I truly believe that it is because of Travis' preparation, professionalism, and passion for ethical application of the law that we were able to come out of our situation with a positive outcome. He is knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to fighting for what

Extremely helpful and honest. They helped guide me through a unique employment problem. If I end up needing to pursue a Lawsuit, I will definitely be using these wonderful people. I left the brief consultation feeling like I should have paid for it.
