When I was referred to Grey & Grey, I had gotten hurt on the job and had elbow surgery. The attorneys and staff were so helpful in getting me the benefits I needed. A few years after that I became very sick and was in hardship as I was unable to work. I called Grey & Grey and they did an outstanding job helping my family. The attorneys, as well as the staff have a kind professional attitude, full of compassion and concern. We found them to be complete professionals in the handling of both our Workers' Compensation claims and our Social Security claim. They kept us informed on every aspect of the claim from start to finish. It was incredible how fast they worked and in a few short months I was approved for Social Security Disability. We would definitely refer family and friends to their firm.

I am so glad that i chose Andrew Latos to represent me in my car accident. He made me feel like part of the team and i was able to reach out to him whenever i had a question. He was so understanding and patient. I have definitely recommended him to some of my family and friends who needed an attorney. I am so happy with the service i got from him and his paralegal. I also want to say that one of his paralegal Alexis was so helpful and patient and explained each and every step that was happening on my case. She was great. I would hire them again and again if i ever needed to. :)

I can't say enough good things about Robert and his partner, James. From the very start, Robert was always there for me—day and night—going above and beyond to help me and my child. He truly cares about his clients and makes them his top priority. Robert is incredibly thorough, leaving no stone unturned, and he's not afraid to get his hands dirty to fight for what's right. His dedication is unmatched, and he never hesitated to do whatever it took to get the best possible outcome for me and my child. If you're looking for someone who will fight for you every step of the way, Robert is the attorney you need. Trust me, if you don’t choose Robert and James, you’re making a mistake!

I had some very bad lawyers represent me in my prolonged divorce case. Needless to say I carried much disdain in my heart for divorce lawyers. The opposing lawyer was a lawyer straight from hell. Two family members assisted me in getting Robert Hiltzik on board. Robert was able to move the case to completion and handled a very difficult case. He is a smart and competent attorney who gives sound advice and can handle even the most difficult situations. I would recommend Robert to anyone in need of a good attorney.

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.

Robert really helped me through a tough time. He was always available to answer my questions and really tried hard to make sure that I got my money and medical treatment. He took over my case from another law firm and he got me a settlement that was four times more than what the other law firm told me to settle for. I would highly recommend using Robert for your workers comp case.

I was referenced this law office by a friend when I was being confused with the amount of paperwork I kept receiving from the workers compensation board and New York state insurance fund. I made the call and received a call back within 15 minutes. The receptionist took my information and had everything ready for my appointment then next day. I walked into the office and didn't have to fill out any paperwork. It was all handled for me. I was early to the appointment and Rebeccah was on time. She sat down with me for a little over a hour and explained to me every paper I brought to her, She explained in detail everything that she would be doing for me. She is extremely helpful and patient with all the questions I had. I can't stress this enough but she seems to be a very motivated attorney and I'm happy she is working with me.

Met this attorney for a consult. Smart and straightforward. For example, attorney explained why the case was in the current state and gave a honest reason why a consult was the only course of action - at this time. I came away with the impression that this law firm remembers its about their clients. I know I received excellent information. Moreover, I go to a lot of offices, this practice is buttoned up - example the receptionist had documents prepared and when I arrived there was no "here's a clipboard come back when complete" this receptionist handled the startup and got the ball moving quickly. I truly regret not coming to this firm earlier.

I retained Mr. Osborne for my Worker's compensation case. This case dragged out for almost five years, not through anyone's fault. It's just the way it worked out. During this entire time period, I was able to always count on Alex, and his staff, for advice, support, and knowledge. In the end we were able to obtain a fair settlement. I am very appreciative.

When I was looking for a workers comp attorney I wanted a local firm that was small and knowledgeable. I did not want the big firms with the flashy tv ads where you are only a number and don't see your attorney until your court date. I did my research and found the Steenberg law firm. I went for a free consultation with JP Marzocchi and retained him that day. He was so knowledgeable and made me confident that he had my best interest in mind. If I had any questions I emailed him and he would call me with an answer or one of the wonderful paralegals would call me. Thank you Kayte and Jessica!! When we were close to settlement JP kept in contact every step of the way. We settled my case recently with a great result. I recommend Steenberg law firm for anyone who wants a great attorney who will fight for his clients. Thank you JP.

My case has been settled and I couldn’t be more happy. So very happy with the outcome. Thank you Steenberg Law Firm and thank you J.P. for all your skillfulness proficiency and expertise.

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!

Mr. Korman helped me with two separate estates. One was contested and one was not. I could not have asked for a better outcome in either case. Thats the bottom line sort of. There is so much more involved than just that though. Your future, your kids, there futures, education, etc… Emotions can run high and that is when Mr. Korman "John" is at his best. If your on the fence about a attorney and it is no small decision to make your on the rite page. If i need anything done legal wise I will go to him period.

Chris did a wonderful job negotiating the closing on our second home as we were selling our first. Chris was available at any time of the day for us to ask questions and he was very accommodating to all of our requests. Chris actually facilitated our closing while he was technically on vacation in order to get us into our new home as soon as possible. At all times he was very professional and made us feel comfortable while we were negotiating the sale of our first home, something we had never done before.

Matthew Travaglia is a highly compenent and compassionate attorney. When I was having great difficulty with my Workers Comp law firm and was months from a settlement, I was so frustrated I was ready to fire my lawyer... I called Matthew on the recommendation of a friend who has used his services on her case. I explained the circumstances to him,
he first and foremost ANSWERED his cell phone !! Patiently listened to my frustration, then explained to me that it would not behov me to switch attorneys at this time because I would still have to pay them and him. He offered to call the head of my law firm Mr. Donohue and worked it out so I could have a different attorney from the firm. I could not believe that there are attorneys out there who truly have Morals.. I would highly recommend Matthew to anyone. Thanks again Matthew, you are truly an asset to your proffesion. Mary, RN

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.

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 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.
