About Us

 
 

 
 

The best kept secret in Wisconsin is that worker's compensation covers hearing loss. In 2002, Johnson Law Offices formed Sound Advisors. Its educational mission is focused on occupational deafness and worker's compensation.  

Sound Advisor's President is Victoria Johnson. Ms. Johnson has been working since 1983 to assist hearing impaired workers gain compensation for their noise induced hearing loss. Together with Mary Jo Helker, they manage Sound Advisors.

Sound Advisor's Senior Vice President is Mary Jo Helker. Ms. Helker is an engineer with more than 15 years of hands on experience, most recently serving as Corporate Safety Director for Sub Zero Freezer Company in its national headquarters in Madison.

The Role of Johnson Law Offices

 
 
 

 

Johnson Law Offices has designed a legal services program to minimize inconvenience. Clients are kept informed by follow-up calls, they receive copies of necessary correspondence sent to and from doctors, providers, the insurance company and the state.

This is a fairly quick and painless process for the claimant and assisting professionals. Johnson Law Offices does all the paperwork, coordination and negotiation (of course, working closely with the client who makes the final decisions on settlement or hearing). Fees and costs to the client are contingent upon recovery...no recovery/no fees or costs.
