I've dealt with this law firm since 2001, I love their professionalism obviously, I love their willingness to answer all in any questions you may have, they always return your calls relatively fast if not the same day within the next day, all of the staff are great. I've met all of the lawyers at least once at some point in time. I would definitely recommend them.

He is incredibly knowledgeable in his trade and is an ongoing asset for the comp case with which I am involved in. I am glad that he and his practice are there and available and honestly have my best interests and on my side.
Very appreciative of his services and sound judgement

We worked with an attorney, Justin Friedman, during a particularly stressful eviction. This firm was efficient, easy to communicate with, highly responsive, and demonstrated a great level of professionalism and advocacy throughout the process.
Very grateful for your legal assistance, Justin, and thank you for the strong work.

This is a great law office. Every staff member that I worked with was professional, courteous and extremely helpful.
Mr. Ranzenhofer was especially soft-spoken and kind but yet fierce in getting my issue resolved. They left no stone unturned in getting a positive conclusion for me.
I was so pleased with the results and would use this Law Firm for any issue I would have in the future.

My father badly needs help and because I asked too many questions during the intro talk (I guess that's why? Fridman interrupted me mid sentence to say he was declining) then declined the case and coldly, cruelly, dismissively told me to look elsewhere. I guess use this law firm if you want someone who treats you like that.

When my mother-in-law was hit by a car and severely injured, we reached out to these lawyers for help. IMHO they screwed my mother-in-law over royally. K&K got $50,000 for themselves (of which they were forced to return about $25,000) and mom got NOTHING! Not a penny. IMHO, you should run far, far away before getting these guys to do anything for you. Would be minus stars if I could.

I called Lever and Ecker for an initial consultation and had the opportunity to speak with Adam Weiss. In the short discussion Adam provided me with guidance on my potential case and put me in touch right away with someone in his network as this was an out of state case. Adam followed up shortly afterwards to make sure that the connection was made. I was very pleased with how Adam and his firm helped me and set me down the right path.

Para legal handling my case was extremely rude and anything but helpful. Please ask for someone other than her. She is a roadblock to getting help within this company. If her bosses only knew what she does to hinder the help of their clients. Do yourself a favor and deal with someone other than Laura. She thinks she is a lawyer and cuts you off without listening to your concerns. Anyone there would be a be help than her.

Pending submission to First Judicial Department :
I don’t know either I’m really ignorant and stupid or I have never received such bad service
From a law firm , maybe again it’s just me but I do not receive any communication with this law firm and anytime you call the line always fail or busy there’s no option for a voicemail ; they even forgot about a payment and had my paperwork in the air not submitted for the last 4 months which honestly is bull shit to the highest level nor be there for the court dates which have been postponing for the last 4 times over a two year span maybe this review they will delay my shit even more and by then I’d prob be deported or something lol I just don’t understand the front desk is super super horrible with communication and I can never get in contact or see the lawyer unless you pounce in randomly some day to see him there , would love to fix this issue as I only
Heard good things about them and was referred from the dad’s operation but as of now I’m super super disappointed and dissatisfied with the customer service at Gallagher law firm.
P.S : looks like
I’m not the only
One that got an issue with the front desk Daniel you need to fire that whole staff because it’s running your firm down to the dogs.

Goldsmith and Tortora handle my case from start to finish professionally. They treated me with honesty, empathy, compassion. I was treated like a human being, when I spoke I was heard. I was defended when an incompetent attorney from the Bronx, tried to overcharge me. I fully advise all who have a need for reliable representation to seek out Goldsmith and Tortora.

As for someone who is a victim of sexual assault. I came across this law firm hoping to be taken as a client but unfortunately this did not happen. Don’t get me wrong, the staff is very nice. However, they make it seem like you are talking to Norma for the 1 hour intake call on the website but really you are speaking to a Law Clerk named Roshelle who was also very nice. I did not appreciate the fact, they didn’t have the decency to call me to tell me the unfortunate news. I had to scroll through a bunch of emails to find an email from Norma. If you have to pay a $275 fee (only refundable if they don’t take you as a client) just for a person to get information about your legal situation when other lawyers do it for free is kind of crazy.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Jessica and Meredith and their incredible team for their outstanding support and expertise throughout my court case. From the very beginning, they were not only professional and knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate and understanding of my situation.
Jessica and Meredith fought tirelessly on my behalf and ensured that every detail was handled with care and precision. Their dedication to my case was evident in every interaction, and they always made me feel supported and heard. The entire team was equally remarkable, always responsive, organized, and willing to go above and beyond to help.
Thanks to their efforts, we achieved a settlement that exceeded my expectations. The outcome will make a significant difference in my life and my children’s lives, and I owe it all to Jessica’s hard work and determination.
If you are looking for a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessica and Meredith. They are truly exceptional, and I feel so fortunate to have had them in my corner during this challenging time.

My experience with Jessica Ressler and her firm has been amazing! It is very difficult to find the delicate balance of not only an attorney that listens and hears you, but represents your best interest. I am been involved in an extremely complex and litigious battle. Without her caring yet determined approach, I am not quite sure if I would have been able to make it through.... Every step of the way, Jessica has been communicative, forthright, and available. I have always been made to feel heard, which is invaluable when going thru the complexities of such emotional and financial stress. Jessica is beyond brilliant, the hardest worker I know, and is so determined to fight for her clients best interests, my best interests. I am thrilled to have found her and her firm! Every single person in that office deserves more than 5 stars!!

I had a very frustrating, and potentially negatively life altering, experience with Ms. Ressler earlier this year. The error on her part cost my family time, frustration, and stress to myself and my children.
I was advised to file a temporary order of protection which involved making claims against family members. Unbeknownst to me, Jessica Ressler has a general modus operandi of being an extremely aggressive attorney, regardless of the situation. Her tactics involve getting her clients temporary orders of protection, involving the police, and using false statements. For those who are not aware, these tactics often negatively impact children. She treats every case the same, and her reputation in the industry is well known as being overly aggressive to the point of being detrimental to her clients and their cases. Further, her strategy unnecessarily involves child protective services who are legally obligated to investigate each case, and each parent, regardless of the accusations made.
Without going into significant personal detail, the filings I made under Ms. Ressler's guidance landed me in the cross hairs of CPS for no apparent reason. The result could have led to a permanent record, termination from my job, and an inability to be involved in some children's activities. When I pointed this out to Ms. Ressler, I was met with vague explanations and no real accountability, nor help to assist me from a legal standpoint. While initially she was attentive to my questions, once this occurred, her communication stopped instead of following up on ways to assist me, as though she signed off from my case. Ultimately, the CPS case was resolved without issue based on evidence provided by my family.
It should be noted that Ms. Ressler was recently formally admonished in court for her tactics and procedures. As previously stated, her reputation amongst attorneys in the NYC metro area is well known, and not well regarded.
I would not trust this lawyer with anything important and would highly caution others to do their due diligence before hiring her. I strongly suggest looking elsewhere for legal counsel.

My husband and I recently went to closing for our home and we had Attorney Stephen Hoffman and this office represent us. We cannot say enough wonderful things about how things were handled from the very beginning until closing. The paralegal, Sharon Bukowski went way above and beyond as well. All my questions and worries were answered and attended to. We felt that our concerns were important and always addressed. We mattered and were taken care of as if we were their only clients...and no questions or concerns were ever unanswered or unimportant. Truly...we cannot say enough great things about this office and we are grateful for everything that they have done for us. They deserved much more financially than they had asked for. Thank you Steve and Sharon! Rick & Sherry McFalls

This office worked with me to contest a ticket that I felt I was unfairly given. First off, they were able to win the case for me, which allowed me to avoid any fine or points on my license. That being said, I want to take a moment to say that I appreciated working with the office and they were very kind and respectful to me. Danielle Rizzo, office manager, was always prompt in emails/calls and got back to me without any issues -- this was my first time dealing with a situation such as this, and their office made it easy. I fully recommend them.

The VA compensation department at Fusco, Brandenstein and Rada is one of the best law firms to help Veterans. My initial call with Anthony Gaona and my successful appeal under Mr Rada's leadership was just a wonderful experience. Anthony Gaona was patient, kind and found things out about my service and claim that I would have never been able to do on my own. Anthony always got back to me in a very timely manner. He is a true professional who always made me feel like I was his only client. With Mr. Rada's expertise in this field I was able to get a positive result on his first attempt. Thank you Anthony Gaona and Mr. Rada for everything you have done for me. If you need help with your VA claim don't hesitate to put your trust in this firm!!!

I would like to praise the efficiency and empathy displayed by the firm's paralegal, Shakayla Nurse. I have been fighting WC for several years, for a pair of orthotics. Numerous times, paralegals tried to no avail. Shakayla was given my case recently and within several weeks, I was awarded the orthotics. Shakalya's dilligence and empathy allowed her to navigate the system quickly and efficiently. I would like to express my gratitude for her professionalism and understanding of my situation.

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.
