About Mr. Joel A. Santos

Attorney Joel A. Santos takes great pride in his law practice. He personally meets with every client and handles all levels of litigation for each of his clients. He believes that if you hire an attorney, then you should meet with the attorney and deal with the attorney all throughout the time the attorney is representing the client.

In 2018, the State Bar of Nevada allowed attorneys to try and become specialists/experts in the field of workers' compensation law. Mr. Santos passed both the written and oral tests, which tested his knowledge of workers' compensation in Nevada. He also met the many additional requirements required by the State Bar (for example, the number of cases personally litigated before the Appeals Officer and in District Court). He was certified by the State Bar of Nevada, through the Nevada Justice Association, as a worker's compensation expert and specialist. For more information on how Mr. Santos became an expert, please visit https://www.santosworkcomp.com/to-become-an-expert

If you have been injured at work, are being denied benefits, or just want to make sure that you are protected against the insurer, please consider Mr. Santos' outstanding qualifications. He is one of only a few injured worker attorneys certified by the State Bar of Nevada as a workers' compensation expert and specialist.

Joel gave me great advice during my consultation with him. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with their legal case. I could tell he was very experienced and knowledgeable in his fields. Joel Santos was great! We only met over the phone due to covid, but I will be getting help from him again next time I need it!

Hired Attorney Mr. Joel A. Santos

Joel Santos was great. I wasn’t even sure if I would be able to win my case (or if I even had a case), but it turns out I did! Joel was very patient and very friendly to me, but tough on the insurance company. I recommend him to anyone in the Reno area who wants compensation for a work injury!
