Sheila Freeman

Sheila Freeman 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 New York. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Sheila Freeman handles all types of workers' compensation cases in New York, including Permanent Disability, Workers Compensation, Employer Retaliation, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.

In New York, 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 Freeman's specialties. Insurance companies routinely deny valid claims hoping workers won't fight back. With 22 years of experience in New York workers' comp law, Sheila knows exactly how to appeal denials and fight for the benefits you're entitled to.
