At Barkan Meizlish DeRose Cox, LLP, our workers’ comp attorneys have experience in many areas of law. Our attorneys have represented employees suffering from illnesses or injury for over 60 years. When an employee pursues a workers’ compensation case, it is not unusual for wage theft issues to be brought to light. This means that instances of tip withholding, expecting employees to work off the clock, or intentionally mislabeling or misclassifying employees to avoid properly compensating the employee may be uncovered. Our workers’ compensation attorneys will work diligently and make sure that when wage theft issues are present, they are handled with the upmost importance.
Retaliation is an unfortunate yet common occurrence during workers’ compensation claims. When employers hear that an employee is planning to pursue a claim for a workplace injury or illness, the employer may act in a manner that is unlawful in order to punish the employee. Demoting or reassigning an employee when he or she begins to pursue a workers’ compensation claim, as well as general workplace harassment as a result of the claim, are all examples of retaliation. The attorneys at Barkan Meizlish DeRose Cox, LLP, will work with you to fight against this retaliation.
Lastly, our workers’ compensation attorneys will investigate whether pursuing a third-party injury claim is an option for you. Ohio law often prohibits employees from holding their employers responsible for workplace negligence that leads to a workplace accident or injury. However, if a representative or employee of another company had a part in your injury, a personal injury claim or civil lawsuit might be an option.

“Bob DeRose was a huge help in getting my complaint settled. They were responsive and a huge help with all my questions. Would recommend them to anyone who needs help!”
My experience with this Law firm was phenomenal. I found my way into their offices after an unexpected workplace injury. Initially I was clueless about their performance.
The fact that I was not merely looking out for a supplement for my financial budget, I was simply there to explore whatever compensation was due me since the injury legitimately occcured “during and in the course of my employment”.
After an initial visit to the offices where the necessary documentation were initiated, the rest were simply a phone call for updates. Sometimes it was even needless.
They frankly discussed the pathway as well as the unpredictability of the timing for the process.This was necessary. I took that in good faith. The fact that there was no upfront payment was also a good thing.
Without monitoring my calendar, I waited patiently for the various
phases of the process to unfold.
Finally the claim was settled with so much transparency. The unpredictable journey ended with a check delivered to my mailbox.
In fact communications from this Law office is always expedient. The Front Desk Associate was very helpful and polite at all times. My attorney’s paralegal was always available to play her part whenever necessary.“
“They are top-notch attorneys who are experts in their fields. They do great work and are easy to work with. They care about their clients and always try to do the best job possible for them.”
“I had an amazing experience working with Sandy and Robin on my case. Robin was just a short email or call away from all of my questions. The communication I had with Sandy was just as great. Both Sandy and Robin made sure I knew exactly what was going on with my case at all times. I will be recommending them to others. If I ever need help legal matters in the future, I know I can get the help from Sandy Meizlish.”
“Hi Mr. Sanford A. Meizlish,
