Curt Norcini is amazing, he was efficient in meeting with me and going over the court process. His communication was phenomenal, he replied to my emails and questions in a timely manner. I was able to get my charges dropped and left feeling relieved and happy that this is behind me.

I have used Alexander Silow on multiple occasions and each time I receive the best possible outcome. Alex is one of the most knowledgeable and respected lawyers I have ever met. His commitment to his clients is unmatched and presence in the courtroom is second to none. Would absolutely recommend and have on multiple occasions to any person seeking representation.

When I initially consulted Alex Silow to explain the details of my case, he seemed like a good fit as we had a similar take on both the situation and the plan of action. Unfortunately, our relationship soured quickly.
I found him to be arrogant, rude, and self-serving. I learned to despise him even more than the lying cops and the low-life DA who cared nothing of my innocence, but only for the chance to bolster his record at my expense. They can all rot in hell and I hope they do.
Silow interrupted me, and yelled at me repeatedly in the course of phone calls that should have been a calm back and forth discourse. There was no reason for such abhorrent behavior. I have never met anyone in any profession that talks to their clients like that. This is unacceptable in any setting. And he refused to believe me even though every word I said is true, which only complicated the case.
Furthermore, it is my belief that he purposely failed to get the case dismissed in a pre-trial hearing, so that I would have to pay him another $2,500 to go to trial. If his pre-trial failure was not on purpose, then his defense was grossly incompetent.
I was charged with theft. Fortunately, there was surveillance video of the entire incident, in which I picked a single piece of scrap wood out of a trash pile and put it back exactly where I found it in under 60 seconds. In order for that to be theft, by definition, there has to be "economic loss". So, after watching the video, the judge says "what's the difference between stealing a car and returning it the next day and stealing this piece of wood and returning it?
Any decent attorney would have answered that taking a piece of wood from a demolished deck out of a scrap pile and putting it back within 60 seconds does not constitute "economic loss". Silow failed to do so. The judge held the charge over for trial and Silow put another $2,500 in his pocket, after which the DA, knowing he did not stand a chance at trail, promtly dropped the charges.
This experience was a real eye opener about just how corrupt the criminal justice system is. Cops, judges and DAs need criminals (real or fabricated) to justify their cushy salaries from the county. And the defense lawyers are all too happy to extract every dollar they can from the defendant. It's a scam, and they're all in on it.
Silow puts on a good act as if he cares, but he's about the $$$, not the client.
Disclaimer. The above statements of opinion are just that, my opinion, not facts or accusations.
Note: I did not just walk up radomly to a woodpile. I had worked on this property many times for the former owner, who is a building contractor, and believed that this wood belonged to him

My experience of being in a vehicle accident and breaking my hip and dislocating my pelvis was certainly a traumatic experience. Spending 2 weeks in the hospital and almost 2 months in rehab was a life changing time of life for me. As time went on, the concerns about how all of this was going to be paid for became real, since it was clear that Medicare was not going to cover everything and I was not eligible for Medicaid.
I was very pleased when someone I knew referred me to Friday and Cox and Nelson Gaugler was assigned to my case. Nelson was highly compassionate and totally professional in every respect. He promised to search for every possible opportunity for insurance to cover everything that Medicare did not cover. He left no stone unturned and even though the settlement did not come easy, Nelson was able to obtain a good settlement from the insurance company and was equally able to have Medicare significantly reduce its demand for repayment.
When all was said and done, there was even some money left for me to cover a lot of other personal expenses I had.
Nelson was clearly a "laborer worthy of his wages". He worked hard on my behalf and certainly earned his keep. I greatly appreciate all that he and the firm did on my behalf and i would recommend them without reservation to anyone who is in need of their services.
Thank you again, Nelson.

On December 29th, 2022 I went out for a jog and was hit by a car which in turn fractured my pelvis in two places and a nice gash, requiring 8 stitches on the top of my head. With no insurance I was concerned with who was going to pay my bills. Attorney Sullivan and his Legal Assistant Jade Esposito of Dallas W. Hartman PC, did an excellent job of taking care of me and making sure I didn't have to pay a thing. I would HIGHLY recommend Attorney Sullivan and all the lawyers at Dallas W. Hartman PC.

Hey Google, why can’t we leave a zero star review? Unprofessional in a courtroom. Easily irritated by the presence of a concerned father at felony drug charge hearing involving a drug addict that is a subject in said father’s custody trial.
If you see this, tell your client to not be a POS and he wouldn’t be in his position. Also, I’m humbled my presence rattled your cage. Maybe your client can hook you up with something to take the edge off.

Some of the worst customer service I've experienced in some time from the office staff in both the Sarver and Butler offices. I'm dealing with a tax issue connected to a trust. Multiple phone calls have been made to both offices by a State Agency and myself regarding this trust. To date these calls have not been returned. An office staff is a reflection of the business.

Attorney Vellner represented me in a nearly two year ordeal with workmans compensation. He did a wonderful job representing me and was extremely professional. He was always readily available to answer questions, and give me advice. He never missed a step and handled every bump that crossed our paths. Anyone struggling with a work injury would be lucky to have him as their representation; I highly recommend him.

I contacted Mark due to time constraints with previously established attorney, Mark was able to catch up to speed on years of information, develop and display facts/figures accordingly and willing to take the case with short notice. He not only represented the information thoroughly he was able to identify possible roadblocks and execute a plan with exceptional detail and expedited wisdom. I recommend Mark for family law cases and his support services were compassionate and thorough and accommodating on the time constraint. I felt as though he knew the case for years in the short one week span he had to prepare ! Mark is your source for advocating your case , displaying information in great detail and preparing you as a client for all outcomes possible!

Mark is a very professional and competent lawyer. He represented me in an auto accident case and explained in detail what the expected results would be and why in our first interview. He kept in touch as needed and always responded quickly any time I contacted him. He worked hard to get what I deserved and gave great advice along the way. The case was resolved in a timely manner. The outcome of the case was a little better than expected which is better than less. I also liked that he took a personal interest in me and I wasn't just another ordinary client and only interested in the financial gain. Everyone in his office was very friendly and helpful too. I hope that I never need a lawyer again but Mark will be the first one I will confer with if that need ever comes up in the future.

Quality work however delays for countless reasons on the part of the office staff result in something that could have been resolved in 6-12 months to take an excess of 14 months. Nice people but sadly I wouldn't recommend this firm.

Steve Bergstein was my legal representative, and initially, I believed him to be both an honest lawyer and a decent person. However, after paying him a sum exceeding $50,000, I uncovered that he billed me twice for the identical legal issue. His reaction? "I'm retired, and I extended a discount to you. Best of luck."
I had anticipated a higher level of integrity and decency from someone whom I entrusted and paid handsomely to represent me during a challenging period in my life. It's evident that greed and ambition clouded his judgment.

Steve Bergstein was our attorney for a bad faith case against a large insurance company. Through the process, which took some time, he was able to slowly unravel the deceit. Court was incredibly interesting and terrifying at the same time; however, Atty Bergstein was able to help us emotionally through the process from beginning to end, explaining everything in detail. Attentiveness to detail of the case was far above superb! We won our case against the big guys! I would recommend this law firm to everyone for your legal needs. If they do not work your area of interest, they will make sure you are referred appropriately. Highly recommended!!

Robert Liotta helped my husband and I during a very difficult time. Both of my parents passed away within 3 weeks of each other, it was 1 week before Thanksgiving of 2022 and our lawyer dropped our case. We called Robert Liotta's office and he told us to come right over to his office. He walked us through the painful process and patiently answered all of my many questions. He was very professional, patient, kind and thorough. I can not say enough good things about him as our lawyer. I highly recommend him.

I don't think I'd be where I'm at today if it wasn't for Connie and the staff at MHK. I was fighting for custody of my sons while trying to recover from a spinal and brain injury, the entire thing felt like a nightmare.
Connie looked out for me every step of the way. I had so much anxiety throughout the process but she was able to give me back a sense of peace. Her staff is amazing as well, always very responsive and a pleasure to deal with.
Thanks MHK, I am forever grateful.

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.
