I had a work comp issue and I reached out to GWC for help. I was set up with Harris Elliot. Harris was completely professional and was with me every step of the way. I was told how the steps would be and updated through the entire process. Any questions I had were answered right away even to the point emails were answered on the weekends when they didn't have to be. The process was painless and I was never told anything that wasn't true. Daisy, Harris's, assistant was also amazing. If Harris was busy she stepped in to give any updates or answer any questions. I was never left out of the loop. I would 100% recommend them for anyone in Illinois needing help or anyone just working in Illinois like myself. You will not be disappointed.

Harris was great throughout the whole process, always had time to answer questions and handle situations as they came, the rest of the staff was very helpful also. I would definitely refer people to him for their workers comp cases, thanks again
