That told me that won’t take my case because I’m not taking enough medications.

Another worthless lawyer that "wishes" he could help you. Rating is actually ZERO

What a POS. Not only to turn away someone in need but to have zero interest in the person's case/health conditions. You are nothing but dollars/revenue at and to this firm. I highly suggest you look elsewhere.

Michael Steinhardt has been my lawyer for more than a couple of decades. His firm is the best! I am grateful to have a lawyer that works hard for you. There has never been a time that Michael hasn't been there in my time of need; he is super responsive and shows he cares. I will continue to refer friends and family to him and his firm.

It was a great experience working with this law firm. Jordan Lieberman represented me in my case and I am happy to say things worked out in my favor. He took the time and really worked with me. His paralegal Ashley was great as well, making sure everything was put together and ready for my case. Everyone I worked with was patient and encouraging throughout this process. I can say I recommend working with this team.

I have worked with Michael Steinhardt for a workers comp claim and have referred others to him as well. He is very helpful, explains everything in detail, and gives you every opportunity to ask questions if there is anything you do not understand. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a lawyer for anything workers comp related.

I very high;y recommend this law firm highly. Everyone who works here is compassionate, efficient, and knows what they're doing. Jordan and Melissa especially walked me though every step of my disability case, answered every question, and were always easy to reach. I have been very highly pleased working with this firm.

Thanks to their attention, I was well prepared for the process, well represented, and for a fair fee. The office was always kind, professional and quick to respond. Would recommend them without hesitation.

Mr. Steinhardt was very honest up front about the lengthy process ahead and likelihood of winning my case. Mr. Lieberman was very thorough and well prepared for my meeting with the judge. Melissa was always very responsive to any questions I had and made sure communication was clear. I am very satisfied with the outcome and highly recommend this firm!

Michael Steinhardt and his staff treated me with the utmost respect. Highly professional, knowledgeable and courteous. They listened to what I had to say and were able to resolve the dispute to my satisfaction.

On July 31, 2013, I retained Keith Siskind and his law firm Steinhardt, Siskind and Associates LLC to represent me in connection with my claim for disability benefits from Unum Insurance Company. I have a complicated medical history and overwhelming diagnosed evidence of disability, including memory and cognitive problems. This firm failed to adequately represent me nor did it make any real attempts to get my disability claim approved. To my horror, the firm unilaterally terminated its representation of me (dumped me) on September 30, 2013. The reason? Mr. Siskind realized that I did not have short-term disability coverage too and felt he wouldn’t make enough money on my long-term disability claim alone. Mr. Siskind told me to contact him if my claim was denied and led me to believe he would help me if that occurred. Instead, I was thrown to the wolves. Within weeks of Mr. Siskind dumping me, Unum took advantage of the fact that I no longer had a lawyer and denied my claim on bogus grounds. I contacted Mr. Siskind to ask him to represent me on the appeal. He and his firm refused to honor their obligation to represent me and didn’t help with my appeal. I was unable to secure new counsel because other lawyers don’t want to get involved in a case that another lawyer has been involved in. I was forced to prepare my own appeal and spent countless hours on it. At this time, Unum owes me over $27,000 in back benefits. Unum has played games, dragged their feet and violated my rights. They’ve gotten away with it because I don’t have a lawyer. I am about to lose my house, my car and my health insurance. If Unum denies my appeal, I will have to file a lawsuit myself in Federal Court. I may never be able to work again. I am 38 years old. If I can’t work again, Unum will owe me $650,000 in benefits. Recently I asked Mr. Siskind again to help me. Its unethical for a lawyer to dump a client and leave a disabled client in my situation without counsel. Mr. Siskind refused. Mr. Siskind cited a clause in his law firm’s retainer agreement which allows their firm to terminate representation. It states, “If after investigation, or at any other time, it is the opinion of the Law Firm that my claims do not appear to be meritorious and/or recoverable or substantial, the Law Firm may exercise the right to terminate their representation of me.” The retainer agreement doesn’t define “substantial” – so if the firm changes their mind and decides they won’t make enough money on your case, they’ll dump you. I wish I had never retained this law firm. This has been a nightmare. I am going to file a bar complaint and sue the firm for damages. Think twice before you retain a disability lawyer. Find a lawyer who will honor their commitment to represent you and one that will fight for you.
