What Is Employee Misclassification?

Here is an update to the misclassification issue. On November 12, 2014, the U.S. Department of Labor and the New Hampshire Department of Labor signed an agreement to coordinate enforcement of preventing employee misclassification. New Hampshire has now joined 16 other states, including Iowa, where the federal DOL has joined state DOL agencies in enforcement efforts.

Mark and his team should be anybody’s first option when dealing with a work injury. My work comp claim was denied and I... was at a loss at what todo until I hired Mark for my case. He not only turned a denied claim into a settlement, he made sure I came out on top and got everything I deserved; all while providing a very comfortable process! 10/10 recommendation.read more

Before deciding on whose expertise I could trust, I thoroughly read over reviews for this area. I can now attest that... Mark and Polly, among several other moving parts, demonstrate prime examples of teamwork to have successfully helped me and my family.Their strong abilities to multitask while simultaneously allowing us to feel deeply valued speaks volumes of their character and intent. Everyone promptly responds with effective listening, communication and, above all, genuine interest throughout the entire process. When considering who to go to, look no further than Chipokas Law!read more

My brother was referred to Mark by someone knowledgeable in the Workers Comp (W/C) field. Little did he know he was... going to get the whole family as clients. Mark, Polly and Angela were responsive to our MANY inquiries, always trying to educate all of us about the W/C process while keeping us realistic about our choices and expectations. Bottom line, the results were better than we probably had a right to expect and certainly Mark’s focused efforts played a major part in that.read more

If you're dealing with work comp then you need the best and trust me, Mark is the best!!!! This has been a very long... and traumatic journey for me. A huge thanks to Mark and his team, who have been there every step of the way. They dealt with the work comp insurance company and lawyer, got me the correct and best doctors that I needed for the best possible outcome from my injury. And now, it has finally come to an end so I can get on with my life again and I truly came out smelling like a rose thanks to Mark, Pauly and Angela. Hands down they are the best!!!!read more

I shall be honest. I have a very hard time in trusting in any system. I needed help, came upon Mark in google. Met... with him and his team, ( they are a team),listened to what he had to say. There was good and rough times to the end as he stated there would be. He and his wonderful team helped me through with their support, returning calls, by email, by mail by being there. We made it through and I couldn’t be more pleased with TheTeam, in the final results or their performance through the whole process. Trust is hard thing to give.However I would, if ever I needed his service again not hesitate to call upon.read more

After being injured on my job and following their every step through physical therapy and still not having the end... results I needed. I contacted Mark and after my meeting with him and his very concerned and gracious team I felt that making Mark my lawyer was going to be the best for me to get the help I needed. It took 1 year of frustration to get my work company to get me the care I deserved. If it wasn't for him and his team fighting for what was right I would have never been able to get the surgery done. I appreciate him and his staff for listening to me when I emailed, called or even stopped in.read more

Mark, Polly and Angela have been there for my husband and I from day one. They have been by my side through every... twist and turn in the alternate universe known as worker’s compensation law. Mark has always been readily available on the phone and in person if I had any questions or concerns.Mark has truly been a God send and I don’t believe I would have had the same outcomes without him. When I thought I had no fight left he was there to fight for me. Because of that fight Mark was able to get me a settlement that has truly been life changing for my family.read more
