YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A TRANSACTION
IF your case has the potential to bring MORGA-DOLAN-LEVIN some big dollars -they’ll likely treat you more respectfully. The amount they make from you iS commensurate with how you’re treated.
That’s a lawyer for you!
The reason I would never recommend this law firm is this-
The 2nd woman who took my case information down was extremely creepy.
LISTEN I MEAN EXTREMELY CREEPY- LEONA HELMSLEY BACK FROM THE DEAD CREEPY
I felt as though she was "trying to control her potential client’ -me and with vengeance)
Very creepy. My gut says stay away.
Ps I had no choice but to give one star

Since the first day that Jacobson and Han took me onto their books they have shown great courtesy, kindness and, indeed, affection. I cannot speak too highly of Ms Gilbert, Ms Han and Ms Jacobson- they have all been wonderful to me. With superb and expert professionalism they have guided me through the complexities of the Naturalization process. The Law Firm has an extremely caring team and I am treated to some of the best legal advice, support and encouragement that I could ever hope for. I HIGHLY recommend them!

Jenna as well as Jacobson and Han firm are the best!
Before I signed on with them I looked at many others but it did not take long to realize I was choosing and would be in the hands of the best group of lawyers and staff. The knowledge and personal attention was way beyond my expectation. Even with a case like mine that looked to be tilted completely against me and a 4+ year battle.
I was worried after paying off my responsibility in the first year that my case would not be as important to them since I was paid off. Boy was I wrong, the calls, communication, preperation was second to none, their office structure continued like if I owed them money this trully showed the integrity of who Jenna and her staff are. Always there to answer questions, calls and most importantly guidance.
Did I find others that would save me a buck, sure on the surface it would of seemed that way but after my personal experience and court victory I knew the pricing was more than fair. It backs the saying you get what you pay for and in this case trust me from my personal experience when I say you get much, much more.
A little about my case I would like to share with you....
Facing deportation removal due to my past criminal history, I realized I was facing a steep mountain. I thought my past was in my past but as I found out It was still haunting me. Though my life had changed and turned over to Christ I realized I had to face this and knew I could not face this alone and that I needed a lawyer but not just any lawyer. With the severity of my case I knew I needed a super lawyer. Anyone in a situation of deportation can tell you it is scary, worrisome and stressful. As my case dragged on for 4+ years I saw these worries grow with the time. I didnt want to leave my Wife or my infant daughter or any of my family which is all here in the states but that is where I saw the personal attention and proffesionalism continue and actually grow for 4+ years. I was scheduled for court about every six months, let me tell you they had me prepared for every court date I had. I was fully prepared and counseld every step through the process. All that stress and worrying was made manageble knowing you have God on your side and a top notch attorney and staff.
Believe me facing many counts which include attempted murder, gun possesion, drug possesion, gang relation and stolen vehicles all from my early teenage years. Jenna and the Jacobson and Han staff where able to show the person who I am now and the change I had made as a person being able to present all my work in the church and community and the outreach for the youth and tilt that scale in my favor as much as possible. This country has no doubtly been good to me and with the representation from Jenna and her staff I was granted relief and a clear path for my citizenship as well as a second chance to continue the community outreach work I do as well as be a father to my daughter who is playing with her toys next to me as I type, this as well as a husband to a great supporting Wife who is working on being a Detective or Parole Officer. You may not see the tears coming down as I type but I am grateful to have such a great oppurtunity to of found such an excellent lawyer to be by on my side.
Thank you!
Jenna, Marina, Niki and everyone at Jacobson and Han
To be honest after what I went through I could not wait to write this review for others to know what they are getting. I was and still am so happy that I told them they didnt have to sell me on getting my citezenship representation through them. I said their representation during my case did all the selling for them that I needed to see.
Cant wait to come back and leave another review after I become a proud citizen of this great country!

I am Mr. Manka I was involved in a car accident early this year. I took my case to Weinstein Law Group. These are professional people who are very knowledgeable and always give priority to your case. They always show smilling face and treat clients with maximum respect. I would therefore recommend them to anyone who has a lawsuit and you looking for the best law firm.Thank you so much Sherry.

After I met with Mr. Steven M. Weinstein and his team I instantly made my decision that I wanted him to be my lawyer. Mr. Weinstein took his time and explained everything to me with Mr. Jose Chicas. His staff and him was always available to answer all my questions. I never had to leave a message for call me back. Someone was always available to take my call and get me an answer right away. I am extremely happy with the result he got me and I will always recommend my friends and family to The Weinstein Law Group PLLC. This law firm is the best firm.

The Weinstein law group did an excellent job for me. They were fast, and have an excellent team working on my case. Once my case was given to the Weinstein law group, the team at the Weinstein law group expedited my case and gave me a good result. The staff communicated in english and spanish at the same time. I feel that the team at the Weinstein law group worked very hard to help me in every way possible. I am very happy anytime I called with a question or present in the office. I was treated with the utmost care. I feel great every time I came to the office because the team at the Weinstein law group gave me full attention and explained every legal step of my case. I will highly recommend Mr. Steven Weinstein and his staff to my friends and family.

The group at Silbowitz, Garafola, Silbowitz, Schatz & Fredrick LLP truly went above and beyond in handling my personal injury claim. They deligently and thoroughly explained every situation in detail to me and answered all my questions I had the pleasure of working with Howard who is one amazing attorney, from the start he was very upfront and realistic regarding the situation and expectations, during the process I also had the pleasure of working with Rachel, Richard and Lawrence who had to put up with my many questions and issues, and not for a moment they were bothered or unnerved by it. Let me not forget Laura Gliesher who increase the volume in numbers. In the end the group maximize my claim for which I am beyond grateful I am very fortunate to fall into the care of Silbowitz, Garafola, Silbowitz, Schatz & Fedrick LLP and I have and still will recommend this great firm to anyone in need of a law firm to handle a personal injury matter.

Mr Schatz is an awesome attorney that can deliver. He handled my case so brilliantly.
The staff members are outstanding.
He and the entire staff treated me with great respect and dignity and like a family.
Skillful as he is, every stage of my case was handled so meticulously as if that was the only case he has and I was so comfortable communicating with him.
This is absolutely one of the greatest law firm around!

I was recommended to The Shanker Law Firm, P.C. as I was told they are the best law firm to handle the legal issues that my business faced. My initial impression blew me away. All my questions were answered by Mr. Shanker before I even had to ask the question. All of my concerns were alleviated because I know that the legal problems my business faced were in the best of hands. Mr. Shanker not only knows the law and is a pleasure to work with, but his results are impressive. Every legal issue was handled in a prompt and effective fashion. There were no unanswered calls, no hidden/added legal fees and certainly no false promises. What more could a business owner in need of a good lawyer ask for. No wonder The Shanker Law Firm, P.C. is very selective in the cases they handle and the clients the represent. They are truly the best of the best.

The Shanker Law Firm, P.C. has been representing our business for over 5 years. He is the best in his field. Mr. Shanker and his law firm are on top of each and every legal issue that our law firm faces, knows the law better than any lawyer I have ever met and is one of the few people I trust with my business affairs. He and his firm have saved us millions of dollars over the years in ensuring we are compliant with the law, winning all lawsuits against us and in legal fees. Yes....legal fees. The Shanker Law Firm, P.C. believes in proactive counseling which is paying for the services of a lawyer to prevent a legal problem, rather than calling one when you have a legal issue. It has enabled me to sleep better at night knowing I have not just a lawyer on my side, but knowing that my business is in good hands. For a business like mine, we needn't just a lawyer, but a trusted advisor. Steven J. Shanker, Esq. provides this to us every day. I call him all the time on his cell phone and he picks up day and night. No issue is too small or too large. I know that when I have a problem I can not only seek legal counsel, but the advise of someone whom I trust to give me an opinion from a business perspective. What is best for my business is most important. I have never met a lawyer and a law firm who provides this type off preventative medicine type legal services. I see a doctor for a well visit. This is normal for a patient, but as a client, most business people seek a lawyer when they have legal issues. The Shanker Law Firm, P.C. is not just a law firm, but is a trusted advisor. Before I met Steven J. Shanker, Esq.. I had used many other firms, but they all came and left. I have been using The Shanker Law Firm, P.C. for over 5 years and I can truly say that Steven J. Shanker, Esq. has enabled my company to prosper and thrive, all in a very heavily regulated business environment. I would certainly recommend The Shanker Law Firm, P.C. and Steven J. Shanker, Esq. to any business person.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP during our recent custody case with Celsius Network.
Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz, the lawyers overseeing our case, demonstrated utmost professionalism and dedication. Their strategic approach and effective communication, including numerous Zoom meetings and timely update emails, greatly contributed to the successful resolution of our case. I especially appreciate their willingness to address unique issues by accepting individual phone consultations.
The court's decision in favor of our case and the subsequent award of our custody assets have brought considerable relief. Despite the financial challenges associated with the bankruptcy process, the support and expertise provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP significantly eased the burden.
I couldn't be happier with the level of service and communication throughout this challenging period. Please extend my gratitude to Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz for their outstanding efforts.

What impressed me about Mr. Koenigsberg was how honest and upfront he was with me about workers’ compensation and how the law surrounding that works. He had a no nonsense attitude about my disability situation, and was overall very good. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for worker’s compensation litigation.

Mathew is a very professional lawyer that i highly recommend. Since day 1 Mathew seemed very confident, knowledgeable, responsible and an ambitious lawyer. I really appreciated the fact that Mathew always kept me posted on every detail of my case. I was involved in a serious 3 car collision accident that resulted in personal injuries. I had to endure medical treatments and therapy because of it. Mathew did a great job representing my case in court showing that my bodily injuries were due to reckless drivers and i was a victim of it. Mathew went into court very prepared with all my medical records, deposition paperwork and pictures of the accident. He went out of his way to make sure i was well represented. At the end Mathew won my case to the maximum settlement. I was very satisfied with the results. I thank Mathew and his wonderful team for their great efforts.

I can’t even begin to describe what a fantastic group of people The Perecman Firm has to offer. They have managed to find the best of the best and put them all together in this firm. They have become like family to us. They truly care about you. My husband was injured in a construction accident and after being let go by another prominent firm, The Perecman Firm took on our case and gave us peace of mind. Our attorney, Steven Dorfman, is top-notch and absolutely brilliant. Look no further!! Linda Hirschfeld keeps your case organized and flowing with perfection. So many knowledgeable professionals at this firm and you never have to worry. They will work hard for your best outcome. We love you all at Perecman and we thank you for your hard work on our case.

In the fall of 2015, I suffered a crush injury on a construction site in NYC. I was taken on by what is considered one of the top law firms in the North East. 6 months into my case, they dropped me citing the difficulty in winning my case. The Perecman Firm looked over my case and eagerly took it on. From day 1 they coordinated all of my case needs. All of my follow up doctor visits and Independent Medical Examiner appointments were over seen and documented by their group of experts. Ed Guldi walked my case through the red tape of NYS Workers Comp and Silvana Leone navigated me through the incredibly arduous path of obtaining SSDI like she wrote the code! Every T was crossed and every I was dotted!
As for case itself, Steven Dorfman nailed it… not only did he win, his filings and oral arguments resulted in the case receiving summary judgement and I never stepped foot in a courtroom! His work was so convincing and thorough that he left opposing council no alternative than to settle and he over-performed again negotiating a settlement beyond my wildest expectations!
Nobody reads law firm reviews unless they are in need of representation, I can tell you with 100% certainty that you will not regret ending your search and just contact Perecman… they without question saved my life by getting me the compensation I deserved and needed and I couldn’t be happier with what they accomplished on my family’s behalf.

This has to be one of the absolute worst firms in the entire city. My mother was hit by a car and in a case that should have taken months to resolve had taken over two years to settle. The communication from them was non existent, and representation was atrocious. I implore anyone who cares for their family members to look for different services than this firm. Please heed this warning as it will save you time, money and actual representation. They charged my mother 33% for absolutely nothing. No follow up, no guidance absolutely nothing. You’d have better chances representing yourself. Good luck to anyone of you who decide to deal with this horrible law firm.

I had the privilege of working with Daniel Altaras at the Derek Smith Law Group, and I cannot recommend the firm or him highly enough. From our very first meeting, Daniel demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion, and dedication to my case. He truly listened to me, understood the challenges I was facing, and worked to advocate on my behalf. His expertise and strategic approach gave me confidence during one of the most difficult times in my life.
Throughout the entire process, Daniel was thorough, responsive, and always made sure I was informed and supported every step of the way. Thanks to his hard work and commitment, we achieved a favorable outcome that I am deeply grateful for. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you with skill, care, and integrity, Daniel Altaras is the one you want by your side.
Thank you, Daniel, and the entire team at Derek Smith Law Group, for your outstanding representation and support that cannot be understated. Highly recommended.

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.
