Awful service they haven't gave me my worker's compensation check. They received it in September 2024 and I have yet to receive it. You have to constantly keep calling for them to answer. They procrastinate and say your lawyer is out so they can't do anything about it, which doesn't make any sense. I've been calling and calling for months and no update even though the case has been closed.

Without question, the worst law firm ever. Another reviewer said they never contact you. The reviewer is spot-on. They don't care about customers here. And when you call and inquire about the status of your case, they act like you're a pest impinging on their free time during work hours. Emily is by far the worst paralegal I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. She never calls you back. She never keeps you updated on your case. She even gets testy with customers. One time I complained to her boss Alicia about Emily's inability to call me back, and Emily texted me back, chewing me the customer out. Well, we certainly know who the real boss is here. Apparently, the leaders here are so weak they allow employees in lower positions (like Emily) to mistreat and shirk their duties as paralegals. Pitiful. They are TERRIBLE at winning cases here. I had doctors at Stanford University who corroborated my injuries, and all they could get for me was a lousy nuisance fee -- a fee which incompetent Emily tried to bully me into sending back to them. The worker's comp QME Alan Ross is clearly in bed with employers. They threw out my first QME and gave me the terrible Alan Ross. This Alan Ross barely talked to me and decided he knew more than the doctors at Stanford -- some of the best doctors in the world. Most recently, Alica was supposed to call me back regarding my old case. She couldn't even be bothered to do that. The QME's decision to decide in favor of the worker's comp company was a great injustice and it went against the recommendations of esteemed doctors. All my lawyers at Ghitterman and Ghitterman could tell me that if I turn down the nuisance fee, I woudn't get a red cent. So I reluctantly acceptec the nuisance fee. So two years later I get a letter from the treasury department collecting for Medicare for work that Medicare said was not their responsibility. And then I called back to Ghitterman and Ghitterman to see if I can recoup some of this 2500 dollars, and they are so terrible to their clients, they can't even get back. PLEASE AVOID THIS JOKE OF A LAW FIRM. They're expanding their offices. I suspect, with good reason, they're selling out us -- OUR CLIENTS. Now the Treasury is deducting 300 dollars from my Social Security payments because Ghitterman and Ghitterman drove me into bankruptcy. Thanks for nothing, GG John Bristow

Worst communication from this legal team. I felt like I had to request information over and over again. I’m still waiting on information. I called and messaged them with no reply. I’m almost certain my case is nearly done but they’ve told me nothing.

I found Ghitterman, Ghitterman & Feld about 5 years ago when the law firm that was representing our son literally dropped the ball with a workmans comp. Case. They took right over and got us the results that we needed for our son. Our situation is different than normal where ours is a 3 case situation. We settled the first case which was the workman's comp case and we were very pleased with the results. We have just settled the 2nd case which we initially believed was not going to be a case, but we are now waiting for a settlement check in the mail and very, very pleasantly surprised with the outcome. Last case is in the works and I have no doubt that we will get the results we hope for on this one as well. They made us feel heard, included us in all steps and decisions and fought hard for us as their clients. 5 STAR SERVICE AND REPRESENTATION all the way. Thank you Ghitterman, Ghitterman & Feld for all you've done and continue to do for our son.

Ghitterman, Ghitterman & Feld represents me in a complex workers’ compensation case. They assist with Division of Workers Compensation (DIR), Agreed Medical Evaluator (AME), Social Security Disability (SSD), Subsequent Injuries Benefits Trust Fund (SIBTF), and Insurance claims, benefits, and authorizations. Their professional team performs with respect and integrity. I highly recommend Ghitterman, Ghitterman & Feld.

I’ve been trying to reach out numerous of times to Julio Del Carmen and no response, leavivng messages on his voicemail and with front desk, going on two weeks now, my case needs immediate attention and a response within a time frame, this week will be two weeks I’ve been trying to reach out. I will have to go in person into Santa Barbara office.

Good job guys

Recently, I have been struggling to get a response from my lawyer. I have sent emails, made phone calls, and even visited her office, but she has been unresponsive and has failed to return my messages. It is incredibly frustrating because I desperately need the legal advice she was hired to provide me with. At this point, I am hoping that this post will get her attention and prompt her to reach out and contact me. I hope thats she will make an effort to communicate with me, whenever she is able, and provide me with the information and guidance I need to proceed with my case. I hope that this post will prompt my lawyer to reach out to me in order to discuss my case and provide me with support and advice.

No follow up. I want an attorney I can talk to, get updates, is this even worth the 6 months of hell? I am working harder that which ever my case gets dumped on. Very unprofessional.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Julio today and he was so kind and patient. He was very thorough and transparent as he explained the process. Overall what I thought was going to be a stressful conversation turned out to be a conversation that made me feel more at ease because he gave me options. Thank you, Julio!
