Workers' Compensation Claims
We assist clients in filing workers' compensation claims for workplace injuries, illnesses, and repetitive stress conditions. Our services cover medical expense coverage, wage loss compensation, and disability benefits. With specialized knowledge of Arizona's Industrial Commission regulations, we guide clients through the entire claims process from initial reporting to final approval.
Claims Appeals
When claims get denied, we handle the appeals process before Arizona's Industrial Commission. Our team prepares necessary documentation, represents clients at hearings, and ensures compliance with 90-day appeal deadlines. We specialize in overturning denials for cases involving complex injuries, disputed liability, or insufficient medical documentation.
Legal Representation
Our board-certified attorneys provide full legal representation for workers' compensation cases. Services include employer negotiations, insurance company interactions, and court representation. We advocate for clients' rights regarding medical treatment access, wage replacement, and permanent disability benefits while protecting against employer retaliation.
Free Consultations
We offer complimentary initial consultations to assess workers' compensation cases. During these sessions, our attorneys explain clients' rights, review case specifics, and outline potential legal strategies. Available 24/7 via phone or online contact forms, consultations help injured workers understand their options without financial commitment.
Death Benefits Claims
We represent families seeking death benefits from work-related fatalities. Our services cover funeral expense claims, survivor wage replacement, and navigating Arizona's dependent benefit regulations. We handle cases involving contested liability, disputed causation, and complex family situations to secure rightful compensation for surviving family members.

Matt and his group are fantastic! They work together like a well oiled machine. Their policy is that they will get back to you in 24hrs and they really do. They have so much knowledge about WC and are so compassionate about truly helping you, that I never felt alone. Matt is a real joy to watch in court, you can tell he is in the zone and out to win for you. I highly recommend Matt Fendon Law Group to have in your corner for your WC case. Thank You Matt you are the greatest!

Horrible service. Rude and disrespectful receptionist. Receptionist tries to bully people into paying for your case upfront and will insult you if you don't. The receptionist told me I wasn't taking my case seriously so no one will take my case
If your case isn't an easy win they'll try to charge you an upfront fee of 2600$ dollars or else they won't hear you out. Again I was disrespected and was told they wouldn't even look at my case besides a "free consultation"
Stay away. not worth the insults and time you'll be waiting for a response. Plus unless your case is an easy win they won't hear

I highly recommend using Matt Fendon for your workmans comp injury. I have been very grateful for him and all of his staff especially his personal assistant Martyna. Matt helped me get my life back after 4 and a half years. Matt helped negotiate a settlement that I am extremely grateful for. Matt was extremely helpful and knowledgeable from the very beginning of my case in helping me get the care I needed and took the stress away so I could just focus on getting better. His staff are extremely nice and if you have any questions or concerns will be answered in a timely fashion. I can't stress enough

I met with Alexis this morning and found her to be kind, empathetic and very knowledgeable. I left the office feeling like a great weight was lifted from me. She is a credit to the law firm.
