I have had the pleasure of working with Anthony Cannizzo on over 100 cases over the last 2 years, and I can say with great confidence that he always does a phenomenal job. He responds to all inquiries promptly, always has relevant and useful answers to general or specific questions, and fairly represents the time and interaction with me and my staff. I highly recommend him for Work Comp cases, but have also utilized his services for other areas of practice with the same, excellent results.

an outstanding attorney, a brilliant legal mind that defended me with success from the following charges.
a deportation process to a basket case and pathetic third world country.
defended me from hounding debt collectors who were after my perpetual insolvency.
she filed an injunction that prevented me from being committed to a mental asylum
( i suffer from intermittent episodes of self delusion of grandeur)
she expedited my divorce from a multifaceted, well read and cultured and lovely woman but a left wing and a rabid feminist from Whitier, Ca. who attended st. Bruno catholic school and who.accused me of (i'd rather not say)
I highly recommend this lawyer, she is professional an clinical in her approach regarding a case but caring.

Mr. Bellmont will fight for your rights . He is generous with his time and handling of your case, really makes you feel you have an ally. When the chips are down and you feel things are slipping away there are too few professionals that really care or give a personal touch, he will make sure you see REAL doctors not just clinicians , and always lets you feel your not driving alone. ..blindly in the dark. gives you realist goals and the truth without redderick. thanks for that

Let me start off by saying that Jonathan is an INCREDIBLE lawyer. He really does his due diligence in helping and staying on top of your case. Quiet, highly intelligent, and very organized are a few key attributes he has.
So, I hired another lawyer in the beginning of my case but I wasn’t happy with his work so I decided to fire him. I went ahead and hired Jonathan and team. The whole process is very traumatic so it is very wise to hire someone who is understanding and knows what they are doing. He answered my questions whether it be by email or telephone. Get this, he would answer my questions with specific information like dates or names quickly off the top of his head. I don’t know about you but that is unreal in my eyes. Just shows how involved he is with case. Maybe because my memory was faulty, I felt I was in great hands.
His patience towards me spoke volumes of how he can handle his “cool” under pressure considering I am not the easiest person to work with. I admit it. He did very well, I am very impressed. I want to add that I care for what he does that I once stopped going to a therapist I was seeing (private insurance during case) because she had bad mouthed what lawyers do (negatively, in her mind). Not all lawyers are bad, there a few good ones out there just like Jonathan. I vouch for him 100%
The convenience and services his office offers are (the following may change as I was a client who wanted to know EVERYTHING about my case):
-some doctor appointments were set in office with follow up reminders sent via mail/USPS.
-letters with filing dates were mailed with copies
-anything submitted on my behalf was always confirmed with letters in the mail for my records.
-readily available for meetings whether it is in person or by phone.
-he took the time to listen about how my appointments went after each meeting. I liked this since everything was fresh in my mind and I would hope he can pick up a few things to help my case.
-work with private banks for emergency loans (paid against your settlement, if you qualify).
-after they took my case, I was referred to the “better” doctors in network. I wasn’t happy with most doctors I dealt with but you have to work with what you’ve got (no fault to my lawyers, I might add). Just remember, DOCTORs work for YOU.
-doctor offices were close to public transportation which is important if one doesn’t have a vehicle.
-on hearing days, Jonathan arrived early and fully prepared. Very important!
This has been an arduous journey navigating the Workers' Comp world however I am glad to have had Jonathan and team behind me to hold my hand and work through this together. I also recommend for those entering WC to get thorough reports from doctors, list and address your concerns with doctors, journal your doctor visits (include names of people who assisted you), keep an updated calendar, keep call logs, ask for copies of everything you sign, be completely honest, and trust your lawyer. It will be a tough road ahead but I can assure you there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel. I am grateful to have had Jonathan represent me, I feel forever indebted to him. Thank you, Jonathan!

Mr. Nussbaum was recommended to me from a friend. I was having increased difficulty getting my workman's comp. claim to be done. He was very good at getting them to contact me, scheduling my surgery and part of the claim was for future medical. I thought he was excellent.

I emailed Atty. Santiago and he responded after sometime. I wanted him to replace my WC lawyer but unfortunately he refused to take the case because he said my current lawyer has been handling my case for a long time but he gave me some important advice. Last July 23, I went to my WC MSC and the dependant's (CIty of Burbank) didn't show up. I was asked by Luis Monroy (my lawyer's representative) to sign some documents on the assurance that he won't submit them to court unless I tell him to do so. Also he promised to send me copies of the two doctors' evaluation and he never did. Now I have I very strong feeling that he submitted the documents to court without my approval.

Attorney Page is the best she is so knowledgeable in every area of the law especially entertainment and put my mind at ease. She represented me in a case that I didn't think I could win and guess what, we Won! She is no longer in private practice and can no longer represent me any more. I miss her and wish her the best at the new law firm, they are lucky to have her.

Atty. Frondle was thorough and diligent in handling our case. He made sure documents were submitted on time and in the proper acceptable form. He represented us fairly and it brought us great comfort to know we had access to him (sometimes even during the weekends and weeknights when necessary) amidst his hectic schedule. He was prompt in returning messages and quite responsive. He guided us to the best of his ability and followed through on his commitments. We would highly recommend him to any one who finds them in a situation in need of legal counsel. More power to Atty. Frondle!

I'm a certified nurse assistant who got injured while on the job in January, 2020. I previously had never been injured while at work, until one night I was helping my best friend at the hospital with a known violent patient. My L. arm was grabbed repeatedly and it caused me a lot of pain right away. The x-ray he actually got for me, showed that I had a triquetral fracture. I was so blessed to obtain Anthony Polakov as my Worker's Comp. case attorney. This was all during covid, so I was a bit nervous, but Mr. Polakov would take the time to explain things to me, and it really helped me during this uncharted time. He truly does care about his clients! Thank You, Anthony, for all of your help, and for your caring words. You are super!

This attorney initially has an office assistant who gets all your vital information such as email and how you heard about the attorney and other self serving questions then after he’s gotten all your information, he ask questions about your case but is dismissive and cuts you off because he never taken you serious or care about the reason your calling for because he then goes to hype drive and will not forward your case to any attorney, instead he refers you to your inbox and informs there you will have 3 options plans for a PAID CONSULTATION. If that is the firms intention, why not freely advertise as such versus bait switch on pretense of PAID consultation and apparently 3 different price points.

All I can say is WOW! Chris is AMAZING! Right from the start, I knew I was in good hands. After being charged with a felony and facing jail time, Chris was able to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor with some community service. During what seemed to be the darkest time in my life, Chris was always there to guide and support me. I feel blessed to have found Chris and would recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. Thank you Chris!

I had an excellent experience working with Chris as my lawyer. We successfully got the cases dismissed, and throughout the process, Chris was incredibly real and straightforward. It was a stressful situation, but he and his team took a lot of that stress off my shoulders, which made a huge difference for me. I couldn't have asked for better support, and I'm so grateful for the outcome and the professionalism Chris provided.

They take on too many cases, promise you the world, and then pressure you to settle. I spent six months in a wheelchair six weeks in a hospital and had to take medicine designed to be taken for a couple of months every day of my life to walk, for an incomplete paralyzation. After everything was said and done I lost $60,000. Catherine, who was my attorney would constantly not return my calls and have her husband call me. When you ask for a copy of your file, they refuse to give it to you. I had written them a good review just to get them to leave me alone as the pressure was relentless. Do yourself a favor and run in the other direction that is if you still can.

I can't say enough great things about them. I had a very serious accident with multiple fractures. They immediately put me at ease. They've been doing this for several years. They have former insurance adjusters, they really know how to deal with insurance companies.
Anna is so knowledgeable & very caring. So patient! She explains everything thoroughly & is very well informed.
She's genuinely concerned with our health & stays in touch for updates. She always responds quickly with emails, etc. They offer guidance with finances & help set you up w advisors. I could go on & on! They're genuinely out to help people & get justice. The office staff are always really friendly & quick to assist.
Any negative connotations about lawyers, are non existent here. Impeccable all around.

What a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Do for You
A workers’ compensation lawyer specializes in helping employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job to receive the benefits they are entitled to under workers' compensation laws. These lawyers represent injured workers in claims for medical benefits, wage replacement, and other compensation related to workplace injuries or illnesses. They also help when claims are denied, benefits are delayed, or disputes arise with the employer or the insurance company.
Whether you've been injured on the job, developed an occupational illness, or are dealing with a denied workers' compensation claim, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you navigate the claims process and ensure you receive the full benefits you deserve.
When Should I Hire a Workers' Compensation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a workers' compensation lawyer in several situations, especially when complications arise during the claims process or when your rights as an injured worker are being challenged. Some common reasons to hire a workers' compensation lawyer include:
- Claim denial: If your workers' compensation claim has been denied, a lawyer can help you appeal the decision and represent you in hearings or litigation.
- Inadequate benefits: If the insurance company offers you a settlement that doesn’t cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf for a fair amount.
- Delay in receiving benefits: If your benefits are being delayed, a lawyer can help expedite the process to ensure you receive timely compensation.
- Permanent disability: If your injury leads to permanent disability (partial or total), a lawyer can help you navigate the more complex process of securing long-term benefits.
- Retaliation by employer: If your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers' compensation claim (e.g., by firing or demoting you), a lawyer can protect your rights and pursue legal action.
- Third-party liability: If a third party (e.g., a contractor or equipment manufacturer) was responsible for your injury, a lawyer can help you pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
- Pre-existing conditions: If your employer or the insurance company claims that your injury is related to a pre-existing condition, a lawyer can help you present evidence showing that the injury was work-related.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can prevent delays, avoid mistakes, and ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to under workers' compensation law.
What Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Do?
A workers' compensation lawyer provides a range of legal services to injured workers, ensuring that they receive the benefits they deserve. Their tasks often include:
- Filing claims: Helping injured workers prepare and file their workers' compensation claims to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
- Appealing denied claims: Representing workers whose claims have been denied and guiding them through the appeals process, including hearings and court appearances.
- Negotiating settlements: Negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
- Handling disputes: Resolving disputes between the injured worker, the employer, and the insurance company regarding the amount of compensation or the nature of the injury.
- Coordinating medical evidence: Gathering and presenting medical records, expert testimony, and other evidence to support the workers' compensation claim.
- Advocating for benefits: Ensuring that injured workers receive all the benefits they’re entitled to, including temporary or permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and medical treatment.
- Filing third-party lawsuits: In cases where a third party is responsible for the injury, a workers' compensation lawyer may also pursue a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional damages.
How Are Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Paid?
Workers' compensation lawyers typically charge a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if they successfully recover benefits for you. This fee is usually a percentage of the benefits awarded, and the specific percentage is often regulated by state law. Here's how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer's fee is typically between 15% and 25% of the total benefits awarded to you. You don’t have to pay any upfront legal fees, and the lawyer’s fee comes out of the settlement or benefit award.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t recover any benefits for you, you generally don’t have to pay for their services.
- State regulations on fees: Many states cap the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge, and some states require the fee to be approved by the workers' compensation board or judge.
Be sure to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a workers' compensation lawyer typically depends on the contingency fee arrangement, meaning the lawyer’s fee will be a percentage of the benefits you receive. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fees: Most workers' compensation lawyers charge between 15% and 25% of the total settlement or benefits awarded. For example, if you receive $50,000 in benefits, the lawyer’s fee would range from $7,500 to $12,500.
- State regulations: Some states limit the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge. In these cases, the fee is usually capped, often at 20% to 25%, depending on state law.
- Additional costs: Some lawyers may charge for out-of-pocket expenses, such as filing fees, medical records retrieval, and expert witness testimony, though these costs are typically deducted from the settlement after the case is won.
You should always ask for a clear explanation of fees and potential additional costs during your consultation so you understand the financial arrangement.
Top Questions to Ask a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
Before hiring a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with workers' compensation cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your injury is severe or the case involves disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and whether there are any additional costs you need to be aware of. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Find out if the lawyer has experience dealing with cases involving similar injuries or disputes, such as denied claims or permanent disability. -
How long will the process take?
While it’s difficult to predict an exact timeline, the lawyer should be able to provide a general estimate based on their experience with similar cases. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your claim.
How to Check the Credibility of a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable workers' compensation lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for workers' compensation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in workers' compensation law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and service.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience in workers' compensation cases.
- Check for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) or local bar association committees on workers' compensation can indicate the lawyer’s commitment to this area of law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Accident report or incident documentation: Bring any documentation related to your workplace injury or illness, including accident reports or notifications to your employer.
- Medical records: Provide copies of medical records, including treatment notes, doctor’s reports, and any information related to your injury or condition.
- Employer correspondence: Bring any letters, emails, or forms related to your claim from your employer or the workers' compensation insurance company.
- Wage and benefits information: Provide information on your wages, benefits, and any lost income due to the injury.
- List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the process, costs, and what to expect moving forward.
- Timeline of events: Prepare a timeline of the incident, your injury, and any medical treatment or communication with your employer and the insurance company.
Being well-prepared for your consultation will allow the lawyer to assess your case more effectively and provide you with the best possible legal advice.
