I was astounded with the service I received from Mr. Hugh Stephens in regard to my husband's compensation claim. He was not only efficient, but also compassionate, and communicated clearly and frequently. Because of his outstanding efforts and expertise, I, who am now a grieving widow, am unexpectedly stabile and secure. I had little to do. He did all the heavy lifting. I'm so very grateful for his help. I'll always remember not only his professionalism, but also his kindness.

I was a machinist at Honeywell F.M.&T.and developed bilateral tinnitus and bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. They helped me file a claim with EEOICPA in 2017. Stephen’s & Stephen’s was very good to work with, they take care of all the paperwork and help with any paperwork I receive from the Department of Labor. They stay on top of things helping with scheduling impairment reviews etc.I feel that without their help this would have been a very overwhelming process.I plan on still using them if any other illnesses occur due to my employment with Honeywell.

If you need a DOL lawyer, I highly recommend this team. I can't be more happy that I picked Stevens and Stevens.

I tried to get others to help me with this claim, and it wasn"t until I hired Mr. Stephens that things started happening. I would recommend any one to get in touch with him . I would go to him again, if i ever needed to.

I had other attorneys hired in Cortez, Colorado and Grand Jct., Colorado to assist me with receiving my uranium claim, but they were not successful. I was advised by an employee of CNS of Stephens & Stephens, LLP good work. I contacted them & they took my case It was settled very quickly. I have been very pleased with this group & would advise others of their prompt service. I would recommend them to others. Respectfully, Frankie Knuckles

My family used Stephen’s and Stephen’s for a settlement case. We were extremely pleased with all they did. They were very professional, easy to get a hold of, and invaluable when it came to answering questions and handling complicated Department of Labor issues and forms. They also did everything in a very timely manner. I have already recommended them to other people.

I have been represented by Hugh Stevens for several years now, He and his staff has made everything so easy for me. I had lung cancer from working in the uranium processing industry, they have opened so many doors for me and made dealing with DOL so much easier. They always answer my questions in a very timely manner. I have referred several other people to him and he has been able to get them through this process also. There are benefits that I was not aware of that he has brought to my attention and been able to lead me through the process of obtaining them. I would most highly recommend him to lead anyone through this process.

When I first contacted Stephens & Stephens I was at the end of my rope with DOL. Hough and his staff got me on track and handled everything with DOL and just made this process so easy. Do not know where I'd be with out them. They are able to communicate at a layman's level and understand the client. Would strongly recommend this firm.

Our initial conversation with Mr. Stephens was productive & reassuring. His previous experience with similar cases was obvious and very helpful, in both asking us specific questions for clarification & also addressing our own questions. Breanna is also a great asset to their team.

I have referred several friends to Hugh Stephens and they were more satisfied than they ever expected. I would refer him with confidence to anyone in need. I trust when he speaks for me, for example, in court. He is a good communicator and a deep thinker. He is well respected in his profession. He handles environmental law, injury law, and medical malpractice. He is tactful and direct and knows what he is doing. He knows the legal briar patches well.

EEOICPA Resource Center

Are you looking for help regarding an Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) claim?

Since the inception of the EEOICPA program in 2001, the Division of Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation (DEEOIC) has managed 11 different resource centers across the nation to help former energy workers or their surviving family members access information regarding their EEOICPA benefits and the claims process. 

Read on to learn more about EEOICPA resource center services, and don’t hesitate to contact an experienced EEOICPA attorney at Stephens & Stephens for a free evaluation. 

What Is a Resource Center?

The Department of Labor created 11 resource centers across the country to better inform energy workers and their families about the benefits of filing a claim under Part B or Part E of EEOICPA. 

Part B of the EEOICPA grants cash compensation of up to $150,000 and medical benefits to former Department of Energy (DOE) workers, contractors, subcontractors, and others who developed cancers or other certain illnesses as the result of working for DOE facilities or related entities. 

Part E of the EEOICPA can provide cash compensation of up to $250,000, as well as medical benefits, to workers who contracted certain illnesses or medical conditions as the result of exposure to toxic chemicals or substances. 

Benefits from both Part B and E could be paid to surviving family members in the event of the death of the energy worker.

These resource centers can help you learn more about the EEOICPA claims process, file your paperwork correctly, and collect supporting documentation.
