“When I was a young attorney, I was very frustrated that the treatises available at that time didn’t provide guidance. Instead, they simply regurgitated confusing language directly from the cases.
So ultimately, I wrote Sullivan on Comp for myself. As a practitioner, I wanted to think through the issues, from top to bottom. And in writing Sullivan on Comp, that’s what I’ve done.”
Michael W. Sullivan, Esq.
Lead author of Sullivan on Comp, General Managing Partner, Michael Sullivan & Associates
If I couldn’t use it I wouldn’t want to practice anymore and would just retire.
Sullivan on Comp has all the information I need—labor code, case law, and any additional supporting evidence—current and easy to be found with just a couple of clicks, helping me handle my case with confidence.
