Laura and TJ are the best choice for law assistance. The staff was exceptionally professional and very helpful. I'd like to say a special thank you to Brenda. One of the plenty of people that have made my experience wonderful. I would recommend their law firm over any around. Thank you all for your service.

(Translated by Google) Laura, the lawyer, is very professional. I had been to other lawyers who didn't help me, but Laura was the opposite. From the moment she reviewed my work injury case, she helped me and assured me that she would fight for what was fair for me, and that's exactly what she did. I recommend her if you have any accident or injury at work. (Original) La abogada laura es muy profesional ya abia ido con otros abogados y no me alludaron pero fue lo contrario con laura desde el momento que reviso mi caso de lecion del trabajo ella me ayudo y me aseguro que iba pelear por algo justo para mi y fue lo que iso se la recomiendo si tiene algun accidento o lección en su trabajo

Laura and her team represented my case with professionalism and care. Any time I called the firm regarding questions or concerns, Ms. Amy educated me with no hesitation. This law firm is not like any other firm, they care more about you as a person. They delivered my case with compassion. I highly recommend anyone to them. Again, thank you Laura, Ms. Amy, and your team for all your hard work.
Nicole L.
This is the place you're looking for. We had an absolutely amazing experience with Laura and the entire team at Gallner & Pattermann. We live two hours from their office and communication was flawless throughout the entire process. We were always in the loop and felt like they really cared about getting the best outcome for us. Everything you hear about Laura being one of the best is absolutely true and we'd recommend her to anyone!
Hannah D.
Laura and her team are the best, No question!! Laura sat down with me several years ago when I was injured, she gave me options when I didn’t think I had any. I was in my early 60’s and wasn’t sure how to start over, I had just lost a very good job because of a job injury. She helped me get a fair settlement and has continued to help me, now almost 10 years later! Laura made me feel like a family member, not a client! I would definitely recommend her office to anyone!
Randy R.
Such wonderful and amazing staff, highly recommend their service. They are sweet and professional. I had an great experience with them.
Haki U.
Laura Patterman is absolutely amazing. She's a kind and genuine soul that fights for her clients. Her staff is equally amazing. I was at a real low point in my life and they all treated me with love and respect. I'm so grateful to Amy Roccaforte! No matter if it was day or night, she was there for me. You don't come across many people that actually care about you and not just because she was doin her job. She went above and beyond every step of the way like I was family. Laura, I'm am truly grateful to you and your office! Y'all truly care and fight for us underdogs.
No'Ami H.

Great to work with very pleased for all the help Thank You!! Highly Recommend
Tony M.
I had an injury occur at a big meat facility. Once that injury occurred the whole management turned their backs on me. They did not want to provide any medical care nor days off to accommodate my injury. They called me a liar and fired me after I could not physically perform the task they expected me to do with my injury. Laura Patterman and her team fought long and hard to get me the medical attention, lost wages, and a nice settlement to accommodate. It was settled in less than 11 months and she never stopped pursuing them the whole time. The company was very uncooperative with my lawyer and her team. She stayed in their a**es the whole time it took to get settled. She is very caring, sincere, and takes all her cases very seriously! I was always kept in the loop with her and her awesome team. The day we settled was one of the best days I had had in a very long time. They treated me great through the beautiful office. She personally fought very hard for the settling of my case! She made sure I was happy with numbers before we made any final decisions. I got to eat a great lunch when I was there. Overall, that day was excellent. I was very pleased with her help to get me taken care of! I learned a little about her and her very successful background If you are hurt on the job and your employer sucks the way mine did and don't want to take care of you, your lost wages, or you medical. CALL LAURA PATTERMAN! Please look no further She is the best in the CB /Omaha area to fight for you and get you what you deserve. Once again I am extremely grateful. Thank you to Laura and and her team. You all were awesome. It was a pleasure working with you all!
Tarell F.
Laura and her entire team are fantastic! They truly care about you & fight for you. She goes above & beyond for her clients. She sees things & know things we have no idea about and she makes sure to let us as her clients that she & her team are always available and there for you. In my opinion and experience there’s none better then Laura Pattermann and Gallner Patterman Law Firm!
Tom G.
This team has been with me and has been steadfast in their dedication to my case. They have gone above and beyond. Keeping me in the loop, sharing progress and always looking out for my best interests. I would and have, recommend them to anyone that wants a solid group that has your back.
Kerri S.
Laura and her team are ready and willing to go the distance. My accident occurred in 2014. After a few years of trying to work with my employer, it became necessary to enlist legal help. I found Laura from reviews on the web, which is one of the reasons I think it's important to leave one myself. Laura and her team walked me through every aspect of what it means to take on a large employer, helped me navigate leaving my job and moving to a different state, and spent an entire DECADE supporting me, following through on every detail, and never ceasing the fervor at which they continued to pursue my case. There was a very keen focus on doing what was best for me, and continually treating me like a 'real human', not a case file. There was a deep recognition that human beings deserve holistic support when going through something that is so much more than a legal problem. It's emotional, it's depressing, it's horrible, and Laura's team kept me from feeling overwhelmed and alone. We've finally been able to reach a resolution with the other side, and I'm so grateful for Laura and her team for their kindess, respect, and diligence. Highly recommend! 11/10!
Rosie M.
I used Laura for a workman's comp case. Laura and her team helped me get the weekly pay amounts I deserved as well as helped with the settlement.
Stephanie R.
Laura ,Tracy and the team were very helpful in resolving my work comp case! I would definitely recommend this firm.
John M.
Everyone here was kind and helpful throughout the whole process! Anytime we had questions or concerns we were able to call the office and get answers, even for the smallest things. Laura is very kind and knowledgeable! They definitely know what they are doing here and we would recommend to anyone in need of legal assistance due to injury!
Jaime K.
Look… I'm going to be brutally honest with you… There is absolutely nothing Pleasant about having to file a lawsuit. But when you have to, this is ABSOLUTELY the TEAM you want to handle it. It can be Frustrating, Painful and even Cruel dealing With insurance companies especially… and AGAIN, I can't emphasize enough how important it is to have a good team. This is The One. You will discover the process requires not only a lot of wisdom in law; But emotional support as well… I appreciated every phone call they responded to and every question they answered And the encouragement When I grew weary; Their wisdom and their tenacity, Their willingness to go the extra mile. TJ and team, I Thank You From the bottom of my heart for making a difficult time in my life Worth Every Step of It in the End.
Rebecca R.
This is an amazing team they work so hard for you
Sheena L.

Maria L.
Always responded in timely manner. Explained everything and was polite. I would go back if I needed to.
Amanda R.
If you have been injured on the job and need medical attention and a fair resolution hire Gallner & Pattermann Law Firm. I firmly believe that an average individual has no chance against these large companies and their insurance company lawyers without proper representation. My case dragged on for 5 years. Laura and her team hung in there got me the surgeries that I needed and Financial resolution that I could live with. Would have been completely impossible on my own. THANKS, guys n gals. I appreciate you all. Ron
Ron B.
Laura was absolutely hands down the most amazing lawyer! She fought for my husband in his workmans comp claim and did absolutely the best I've ever seen I can't say enough about her and this law firm 10 out of 10 and they are the most humble and genuine and generous people I've met. Thank you again for everything you did for us! And I know we are in good hands with TJ for the next step we have to do!!!
Kayla I.

TJ and his team…highly recommended! They took the time to explain everything to make it easy to understand for our case. They are thorough, professional, and their staff helps you feel so comfortable. They took care of our needs, answered all of our questions, and helped us with documents.

(Translated by Google) If you've been injured at work or elsewhere, Laura and TJ are the lawyers you need. For over five years, they've been tirelessly helping me with an excellent team. They're incredibly professional and have defended me against any injustice. I had a workplace accident and three shoulder surgeries that left me unable to work for over two years, and they were there to ensure I got what was right. 100% recommended. Thank you for all your support. Special thanks to their assistant, Ivette Lugo (who speaks Spanish, by the way). She's a truly dedicated and professional person. Thank you to their entire team; they're like family. (Original) Si te accidentaste en tu trabajo o fuera ,Laura y TJ son los abogados que necesitas Durante mas de 5 años han estado ayudándome sin descansar con un equipo excelente, super profesionales y defendiendome ante cualquier injusticia ya que tuve un accidente de trabajo, tres cirugías de hombro las cuales me inhabilitaron durante mas de dos años y ahí estaban ellos haciendo que se hiciera lo justo. 100% recomendado. Gracias por tanto apoyo. Gracias a su asistente Ivette Lugo (por cierto habla español).Una persona incondicional y muy profesional. En verdad gracias a todo su equipo que son una gran familia.

Gwen M.
I was injured at work. After 17 years of service to the company I worked for they did not to want help me or get me the medical care that I needed. Laura and her team made sure that I got good medical care and compensation for my injury. If I did not have Laura as my attorney I would not have gotten the care or compensation that I did. Laura and her team worked very hard to get them to comply with the law. Everyone in the office was available to answer my questions and walk me through the process. Laura and her team were all very caring and compassionate with me. I would like to give a big thank you to Laura, Brenda, Lori, Lisa, Anjanette and everyone else in the office that was so patient with me and dedicated to me during a very difficult time in my life. I highly recommend Laura and her team to anyone who needs help with workers compensation.
Deb R.
I hired Laura Pattermann after an injury at work. First one I’ve been involved in. Laura was very good at explaining the process. I am not the most patient guy and expected things to move quicker. She was patient with me and told me to trust the process and have faith. Laura and the gals in her office are friendly and helpful and easy to deal with. In the end Laura was right and she settled the case out of court for more than I had expected. She did a great job and knows what she is doing. I would refer friends and family to her any day and if I ever need another work comp lawyer I will call her in confidence it will be handled correctly and she will get the right outcome! If you need a work comp lawyer , make the call. She’s good!
Ghost R.
Laura and TJ "Rock". I love them. They restored my hope that there ARE Lawyers who actually, and truly care about clients as people. They worked out a fair and equitable Settlement for me that will allow me to pay off all of my debt and still have a "Rainy Day Fund"! Laura is a like a Pit Bull protecting her pups in her Defense of your interests. TJ is like a calming and Guiding Father. When he is at your side, you feel like nothing can get to you. The Staff dealt with my constant calls and questions in a very Patient and friendly manner. Customer Service is Second to NONE. Working through an agency injury claim is extremely stressful. Laura, TJ, and her Staff walked through it with me like Family. They "ARE" Family now.
