Janet Fernandez

Janet Fernandez works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, the attorney's fee is a percentage of your settlement or award — typically 15–25% in Michigan. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Janet Fernandez handles all types of workers' compensation cases in Michigan, including Permanent Disability, Workers Compensation, Employer Retaliation, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.
