I was working as a Surgical Technician in a hospital in New Mexico and had a major work related injury in September 2019. I ended up being diagnosed as having Carpal Tunnel and Complex Regional Pain Syndrome by one of my employer’s doctors in January of 2020. My employer’s insurance company stated that they wanted me to get a second opinion and tried to force me to get seen by a doctor of their choice located in Albuquerque. I felt uncomfortable with how things were going and the insurance company made a few rude comments towards me, so I decided to consult a lawyer.
I researched worker’s compensation lawyers in New Mexico and found Kevin P. Holmes. He immediately seemed very caring and eager to help. After doing his own research on the doctor I was being sent to, he advised me that this specific doctor had a bad reputation for blaming patients for their work related injuries. As a result, many of these employees lost medical care and their jobs.
I ended up hiring Kevin after worker’s compensation threatened to stop my TTD payments if I didn’t go to their doctor. To make a long story short, Covid happened and I was not able to get any medical care until the fall of 2020. Kevin was right by my side every step of the way, always looking for ways to help and offer advice. He eventually found a doctor that specialized in my injuries that was willing to see and treat me. I immediately jumped at the offer. At first, worker’s compensation did not want to pay for any of my treatment, but Kevin fought for me during the entire process.
After over a year and a half since my injury, Kevin eventually helped me win a settlement against my employer and worker’s compensation. It was tough and they tried to stop all of our efforts at winning my case, but Kevin was diligent, extremely experienced and well-prepared to fight until the end alongside me.
I would definitely recommend Kevin if you need a lawyer for your worker’s compensation related issues. These insurance companies don’t really seem to care about individual people and they won’t have your best interest at heart. Kevin will and he will prove that to you from your very first consultation until the very end of your case.
Thank you Kevin for all you have done for me...
Read moreLet me preface this by saying, if you are here doing your due diligence and reading reviews, congratulations you are in the right place. Mr. Holmes can be described by a multitude of various things, but for me, honest and trustworthy are the two I'd choose.
I was injured on the job, the company and their insurance company wanted to pay me pennies on the dollar when it came to settlement talks, Mr. Holmes (Kevin) fought diligently to get me the money I deserved and more.
There was never a time I didn't know what our next move was going to be, and why we were going to do what we planned on. If I had a question (I had thousands), Kevin answered each one, with patience and kindness. I swear I'd asked the same question at least 10 times, didn't matter, Kevin never once made me feel like I was a burden or intruding on his time.
I'm going to wrap up here by saying, Kevin isn't pulling a politician's campaign, making promise after promise. If he says this is what I feel your case is gonna be worth, you should believe him. I'm not gonna say "choose Kevin, he'll get you millions!" But I will say, choosing Kevin guarantees you will have one of the most steadfast, honest, reliable and down to Earth attorneys you could hope for on your side.
Thank you...
Read moreI've worked with Kevin since 2019on a knee injury workers comp case. I was to the point where I just wanted to focus on healing and getting better than dealing with the paperwork end of things. He really took the weight off my shoulder and because of that he was worth the money I hired him for. I would like to recommend him as he is the friendlest, most attentive lawyer I've ever met. The experience was more than fantastic and the outcome of my case was wayyy more than expected. After being told I was lying about my pain and the surgeon confirmed my pain, I felt validated and Kevin never stopped supporting me emotionally. It was so much turmoil in my life but it was made better by the fact that Kevin helped take all the paperwork off my shoulders. I really did focus on healing and the only thing I regret is....that I didn't hire him sooner. So don't hesitate, call him to take your weight off. I've not been paid to say these kind words on his behalf...I've just gotten injured and ended up having a...
