Let me start by saying, if I could give more than 5 stars, I'd give him 100! If you need a family law attorney, hiring David Hurvitz is the best decision you will make and will be the first step to getting to see your daughter/son on a regular basis. Mr. Hurvitz made the process of getting custody of my daughters easy, but also as stress free as any custody situation can be. His communication is on point, I never went more than 12 hours after messaging to get a response, and when I contacted him during an emergency situation, he was on the phone with me with 20 min. If I ever need a family attorney ever again (hopefully not but one never knows these days) I will for sure be going to him to resolve my issue. My case lasted 5 years and it wasn't because of Mr. Hurvitz, but you better believe he stayed on top things to keep the case moving as fast as the system would let us go. His prices are extremely reasonable, I didnt spend tens of thousands like you always hear, and he and his staff are very understanding people, and understanding of situations.

David has been my lawyer since 2017 and has helped me so many times over the years with a difficult child custody case. He is an excellent lawyer and I am truly blessed to have had him on my side for so many years. He has always given me valuable advice and has never steered me wrong throughout this entire process. He fights for you and your child as if you are the most important client he has, every single time. I also worked with Joe in this latest case and he is also just as amazing! David’s office has the best people that are there to support YOU. You can’t go wrong hiring David for a case, he is worth every penny and more.

I highly discourage anyone from using this attorney. 2 years in. 4 court appearances and I am still not able to see my child. The only thing that this attorney was efficient at was getting payment from myself. After choosing to proceed with out his counsel it appears wants to keep the additional funds that were allocated to his retainer as a show of good faith. Furthermore, on the subject of my case in particular it was all paint by numbers with no real attention paid to any of the specifics. I consistently had to edit, or completely rewrite agreements, because they were written as is if they had zero consideration for anything we hade discussed or even the sex of the child. I was In a near constant position of having to correct counsel. You would hope this would make a professional assess their shortcomings and redouble their efforts, but in reality the attorney became defensive and recalcitrant with me (his client). At times it seemed as if things were being drawn out, almost provoked by counsel. It's a hell of a thing to be removed from your child's life without cause, it's another entirely to have your advocate profit from extending the tragedy.

Letting him navigate me through this was the best decision he made the process seamless. I will recommend him to anyone seeking help with a bankruptcy.

READ THIS AND CHECK OTHER REVIEWS.. FIND SOMEONE ELSE. I hired this attorney back in July 2024 on a case against a car dealership and since then I have not been able to get any communication back from him or his office regarding the status of this case. In fact, the last I heard from him was October in which he states he will get back with me on an update. Many many phone calls and messages left for him and many many unanswered emails later i have heard not one word back. I paid his fee in full when I hired him and now am left with no result. I will be getting with the Florida Bar and submitting a complaint there also.

Robert and his staff have been nothing but professional and efficient! They will definitely show the experience they have. Prior to Robert sparks I had a console that in 3 years I wasn’t getting anywhere and going on 4 years of not seeing my son. As soon as I hired Robert Sparks he was able to not only get me quality time within 3 months, but within 6 months he got me a 50/50 time sharing even after many false allegations from mom to DCF about child abuse. Those allegations were dismissed within a day!! If you want a sharp aggressive lawyer but can also show empathy from you to the judge, then hire Robert Sparks attorneys!! THEY WILL GET RESULTS!

Carla Campbell, Joseph's paralegal mentioned he was very busy with an overload of cases. She also said it would take time to get ahold of him. After waiting a week since I signed the retainer, I had my first call with him yesterday. After 15 minutes he rudely said "how can I help you here? Then he said he had to go, and maybe I would be better off on my own." I was shocked that he would not take interest in my needs and was treated this way after signing a contract where he would earn 25%. I immediately asked to switch to a different attorney yesterday after this experience. The man who took my call said he filed a request for a new attorney to be assigned. I did not receive a follow up so I called back and was told I would need to request the change with Joseph. So they transferred me back to him, an todays conversation went worse than yesterday. He spent 4 minutes on the phone and said "I have to go I have mediations to attend to" he showed absolutely no concern for me or my needs. He then said to find another firm. I asked to speak with his supervisor as I want to stay with the firm and simply have an attorney who will be considerate of my needs as I am disabled and need more help understanding thing due to this. He then said he was denying my case which now means I'm not allowed to be represented by Morgan and Morgan further, all because I complained of the lack of service he gave me. I should not be dismissed from being represented on an injury that is worth representation simply because I asked to be transferred to another attorney. Joseph Odato does not take personal interest in his clients. If your not seriously injured or surgical, where the money piles up, he won't bother with you. Terrible experience with Joseph, and when I complained Morgan and Morgan, they didn't act on my behalf as the client. I called Berlin law firm the next day, and Stephen Berlin gave me personal top notch service and will be assisting me with my workers comp claim.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
