Not a good firm

I hired this firm for my workers compensation claim after being rear-ended twice on the interstate. They are very unorganized. It takes them weeks to get back to you. They send a different attorney that knows nothing about your caseto each hearing. They lie to you and tell you details about an settle...ment, and you don't find out They lied till after the case has settled when you find out the term differ from what you agreed too. Then after all that they lie more and say they never said or did such things. If you need an attorney I would highly recommend looking for a smaller firm that actually cares about their customers. I hope they don't ruin my personal injury case as well.

Mediocre Services

I happened to come across this firm and by reading the comments I decided to used them. At the beginning I was treated fairly, however once a Lawyer by the name of JJ took over my case. I was treated as if I was doing him a favor. Mr JJ not only cut me off many times from explaining the cases, his f...irm also sent the wrong information and delayed my cases even further. After many calls, emails, and no replies to get the firm to get me doctors appointments and actual pay from the carrier I gave up. Until the carrier decided to settle, that's when it got worse. Mr JJ acted as if was my only choice, noticing that this was an opportunity to actually talk to Mr JJ, I went as far as explaining to him of the abuse I had taken from the insurance carrier and not to take the first offer, he claimed was the best money I could ever get. His own words "the settlement is astronomical"., plus he kept lying that the firm will barely get anything from the cases. Well that was not the case his firm got the most of the settlement. I had the choice to decline the settlement terms however I was so frustrated with this case and this firm that I decided to stop wasting my time and just finalized the cases. My learning experience here is to never trust any lawyers especially this one.

We apologize to Mr. Barragan that he did not have a positive experience with our firm. We strive to go above and beyond in providing our clients with excellent customer service and professional performance. We obtained a substantial settlement for him after taking over his claims from prior attorneys. We wish Mr. Barragan only the best going forward.

Exceptional Experience

Alex went above and beyond to ensure that all of my needs were met during a difficult time in my life. Him and his team (Claribel) always provided an exceptional experience for me and always provided me with monthly updates until they were able to provide me with an awesome outcome. They made sure th...at all my doctor visits were covered and that I was taken care of as a client. I appreciate them and all that they have done for me and I would recommend there services to anyone in need of results.

Excellent Attorney

Shulman speeded up the process with my case. My previous lawyer wasn't doing his job correctly, I heard from a good friend that Alex Shulman was the best attorney for me. I called his office and was immediately assisted, they understood what was going on and how to fix the situation. I seen a vast im...provement with my case in a few days time, any court date I was appointed to, I was notified early and I was on time along with my lawyer every court date after. He even paid for breakfast while we discussed the case. I always get vip treatment when I call or come in to the office. my case was settled months in advance and the process was swift and just. I recommend his firm to the public, he knows what he is doing and the staff here is impeccable as well. If I ever have another case, he is the only and first lawyer I'm going to call. - Mario Puzo
