Pre-COVID, if you attended a membership meeting in person you have probably met and listened to one of the attorneys from Erickson, Bell, Beckman and Quinn P.A. At least one of them would try to make it to our monthly membership meetings to answer any questions the members in attendance may have regarding Workers Compensation or any other questions members might have for an attorney.
The membership meetings have now been done by a Telephone Town Hall format, so they have not been able to participate. Hopefully we will someday get back to in person meetings. The attorneys that would attend and speak were, Caroline Bell Beckman (whose areas of practice include Workers’ Compensation, municipal-civil, and ERISA-subrogation), Kari Quinn (whose areas of practice are Workers’ Compensation and municipal law), James Erickson, Sr. (whose areas of practice are personal injury, motor vehicle accidents, dog bites, alternative dispute resolution, and fire loss), and James C. Erickson, Jr. (whose areas of practice are personal injury, Worker’s Compensation, and municipal law).
They also have attorneys in their practice who specialize in wills and trusts, estate planning, real estate, and employment law. As you can see, they cover just about everything, and as a union member of Local 663 you can call and ask questions and have a consultation on any of these matters for free, just let them know you are a member of UFCW Local 663. Their phone number is 651-223-4999. We also have available at our office a brochure on Worker’s Compensation that they have produced. They have a very good website (www.ebbqlaw.com) which can also answer a lot of questions.
