My experience was Quick and easy. I worked with Michael Fischer, who was very knowledgeable and kept me in the loop regarding my case. I would definitely use them in the future if I need to.

Rocky McElhaney is a true go getter for the little man. He has assisted my mother through her case with every step. Whenever she needed anything even as little as a reassurance staff were there for her. Mr Daniel has also been an oak tree through this whole endeavor. Very kind and straightforward. Plain awesome. Thank you are all you assistance.

My wife used this law firm in her personal injury lawsuit back in 2015/2016. I have current dealings with the firm, and I have always found them to be a respectable, responsible agency. I could recommend them to anyone seeking counsel.

I found myself in a stressful situation in a lawsuit where my attorney unfortunately passed away! We had to find a new attorney to complete the litigation from a car accident which was not my fault. Several law firms turned me down, but Rocky and company picked the case up and did an exceptional job! I got professional and caring results in a quick settlement. I wholeheartedly recommend Rocky and his staff to anyone wanting compassionate professional care in such matters! Rocky put the gloves on!

I loved working with this law firm. They got me a good result quickly. They kept fighting for me to get my medical bills reduced. I would recommend Rocky McElhaney to anyone. I hope I never need an attorney again but if I do, I am calling Rocky.

After I was hit by a garbage vehicle then getting the run around by their insurance company my husband called Rocky McElhaney. Once our case was in his hands their insurance company changed their tune. If you have a collision don't hesitate to call Rocky. He has an incredible team in his corner.

I was already in the crosswalk in my wheelchair. There were three lanes of traffic stopped and this woman blazes right through a stop sign and hits me. I was hurt, scared, so upset about my chair- my only way to get around, stay healthy and work. It was basically total loss and I depend on it to help me stand and without it I get physically sick- respiratory problems, bed sores, intestinal issues, cant go to the bathroom, the list goes on.
After being hit, the lady who hit me actually said Im going to be late, I have a doctors appointment to get to? She was without remorse that had to be one of the worst things. A good friend referred me to Rocky and Jill at the Rocky McElhaney Law Firm. I was lost but they knew what to do right away. The biggest fight was to get them to say yes to getting a new chair.
They only wanted to take care of my medical bills-not the chair. I couldnt have done it on my own. I fully depended on this firm and they came through. I ended up getting a new chair and a great financial recovery to help me move onto the next chapter of my life. Im a fighter, but without my medics team and the whole crew at Rockys office in my corner fighting for me, advocating for me and helping me get my life and my mobility back, Id be in a very different place right now. Love these guys.

Rocky Law Firm is the best choice you can make for you and your family! The entire staff is extremely knowledgable and professional. They really treat you like family, not just another client. Rocky is definitely the first person I will call if I ever need help.

I would recommend the Rocky Law Firm to anyone I know. I had a severe accident at work where I shattered my leg and broke 2 vertebrae. My wife placed a call to the firm while I was still in the ER. Rocky had a member of his team at my side within 4 hours. The Rocky Law team took my case and made the entire process painless (pun intended!) I spent 13 months rehabilitating and during that time I had every question answered and need taken care of.
They made sure I was provided with every wheelchair, medical device, prescription, physical therapy, and doctors appointment that I NEEDED. I never had any concerns that werent immediately addressed. Paige is one of the most genuine and helpful individuals I have ever met. When you are faced with the possibility of permanent disability and loss of income, it can be scary.
She was there to help, make phone calls, chase down paperwork, or simply listen to me. I spent 13 months on workers comp due to a serious workplace injury. I had to learn to walk again. All things considered, it was a great experience and that is largely because of the Rocky Law Firm.

I can't express in words the treatment I received from Attorney Hunter Higdon. The day I called for help he spoke to me himself and anyone that has hired a attorney knows this is rare. Not only did he speak to me day 1 but he invited me in the office and I saw him 2hrs after we spoke. He kept in contact with me the whole way. Now if you think that was amazing, read this.
On top of the frustration of even having a case, I was also experiencing one of the darkest points in my life. I know when people hear " darkest point in life" they tend to think of drugs and/or alcohol. Neither of the two forementioned. But let me tell you, his words and time taken with me on this matter helped me in ways that I still put forth in my daily walk of life.
His words were firm but very fair. I knew by the way he didn't candy coat things, that this man had my best interest. This man is amazing in his work but first and foremost. HE IS A AMAZING PERSON! After the case, I no longer called him my attorney, but I called him my family.

Rocky hasn't been only a lawyer to me, he's also been my friend. I've known Rocky for almost 19 years. How I found Rocky was when I was injured at work. I had fell 14 feet into a crevice under a building. I was injured pretty bad and need somebody's help with my insurance and so on. It was a really bad time in my life. He came to my house to meet with me and to look and see exactly what had happened.
I felt like I was in good hands going through something I'd never dealt with before. Somehow he was able to get my case settled within four months. He helped me keep the life that I had. I couldn't think of a better attorney to have other than my friend and lawyer Rocky McElhaney.

Rocky McElhaney and his team were amazing when it came to handling our case. My husband was injured in an auto accident in the spring of 2012. We had researched and spoken with different attorneys before deciding on his law firm. This past spring Rocky and his team were able to help us receive the out come we deserved. They were supportive, informative, and extremely competent. This was our first ever law suit and hopefully our last. However, if I had to go through it all again there would not be another attorney I would go to. Thank you Rocky!

Rocky McElhaney is a great lawyer and if you need one who is gifted and has compassion for you and your family than he is the one. When Rocky took my case I had been waiting for a number of years for a back injury that I had on my job. I didn't think I'd be able to get a settlement because my employer wouldn't cooperate with me. But Rocky stepped in and took care of the matter for me and my family because he knows how to get real results and seems to know exactly what each of his clients are going through with their injuries.
I would recommend him to anyone who's going through a lawsuit with a company. He is the man for the job! I would have gave him 12 stars but I could only choose 5 in this rating system.

Big corporations, and the billion-dollar insurance companies that back them should be held to the same standard we teach our children to immediately take responsibility when they cause damage to another, and fully pay for the harms and losses.

Penny Mcelhaney
Chief Executive Officer & Attorneyread moreHer career path changed when she was asked to lobby for the passage of a bill to remove repetitive motion injuries, like carpal tunnel, as recognized, compensable injuries under workers' compensation law. Penny's father had worked for General Motors for years and both of her parents currently worked at Toyota Manufacturing. She had seen her mom suffer a repetitive motion injury and wear an arm brace for carpal tunnel syndrome. She had firsthand knowledge that carpal tunnel was real and that its effects could be devastating. Overwhelmed by the amount of money insurance companies must buy influence and shape public debate to beat good people down, she decided to switch career tracks and go to law school to help people fight back.
