Samuel James

Samuel James 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 Missouri. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Samuel James handles all types of workers' compensation cases in Missouri, including Employer Retaliation, Third Party Claims, Permanent Disability, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.
