Sheila Fernandez

Sheila 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 Maine. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Sheila Fernandez handles all types of workers' compensation cases in Maine, including Construction Injuries, Scaffold Accidents, Workers Compensation, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.

In Maine, you generally must report your injury to your employer within 30 days and file a formal claim within 1–2 years of the injury date. These deadlines are strict — missing them can cost you your benefits. Contact Sheila immediately after any workplace injury.

Yes — claim denials are one of Sheila Fernandez's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 6 years of experience in Maine workers' comp law, Sheila knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.

Sheila Fernandez primarily serves clients in Auburn and the surrounding Maine area, but handles cases throughout the state. If you're in Maine and were injured at work, contact Sheila's office for a free consultation regardless of your location.
