Jeffrey N Stern

I sustained a serious work injury. I was looking for a good WC attorney and contacted Pond Lehocky. I was advised that they did not handle WC in my state, so they gave me Jeffrey Stern, who practices in my state. After signing up with him I thought he was a good attorney. His office was very unor...ganized and he was dressed in shorts when I had my first consultation with him, but he seemed to be very good per our conversation. As my case went on, I gave him updates of all of my treatment and the shenanigans my employer was trying to pull. The case was proceeding along, so there was nothing urgent to be done as I was treating. Well, after my treatment was coming to a close and the physician and my employer were trying to force me back to work, it was time for Mr. Stern to act. Not only did he stop communicating with me, he lied and told me he was doing things on my claim that I found out he was not doing. I got fed up and fired him. He lied to me and to the court. When I did get a new attorney, I found out that my employer's counsel had sent him paperwork that I needed to fill out 3 times for completion, which he ignored and never sent to me. My employer's counsel was about to file a petition to have my claim closed. Thank God I found a new attorney before that happened. Mr. Stern is lazy, and unorganized. I also found out that he goes to court unorganized. I would not suggest that anyone trust him with a serious claim.
