Thorough Attorney

I was involved in a slip and fall at a department store and I was 8 months pregnant. Needless to say, I had to get a lawyer. Scott Gottlieb got the job done ✅ If you need a great attorney, he’s the guy. Great communication all the way through and his team was exceptional with the way they handled my... emotions the whole way! Thank you 30 yrs later for your dedication to your craft!

Hesitant

Hesitant to even contact an attorney, I realized I needed help. The staff at Scotts' office did just that. I was able to focus on getting better mentally and physically after the accident. Thank You!

Excellent Experience

After being in a car accident the prospect of going through a lawyer to resolve my case was daunting. However, I could not have made a better decision than going through the Scott Gottlieb firm. The entire staff was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and helpful. They fought to get me the settlement... they felt I deserved and kept me informed every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend going through this firm and would use them again without hesitation.

Great attorney

After hiring Mr. Gottlieb as my attorney, I was kept informed of the progress of my injury claim. He settled my case with efficiency and professionalism.

lack of help I WISH I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS

I contacted the Gottlieb off several months ago regarding my auto accident. I was only privy to the para legal. the para legal just wanted medical info and accident info. of which was provided to her immediately. I was never allowed to speak with the atty himself. I don't even think he knew I was a c...lient. I was treating in NYC but since stop working; wasn't any point of me travel that far considering I live in the area. I contacted the office where Jan gave me a referral to a lame clinic whom after several weeks wouldn't even see me for my injuries. then she badgered me as to WHY? Those doctors a that office where SHE referred me are her friends she can ask them. the no fault portion of my claim was denied after a doctor from the insurance company examined me. I informed Mrs Shear and she even instructed me on the language to use when i returned to my PT Dr. later to my surprise the para legal states with utter surprise and astonishment in her voice, "WHAT! the no fault was denied!? when were you going to tell me? I reminded her that I told her already sent her the denial letter and she instructed me on the next steps with appeal. SHE TOTALLY DENIED EVERY SPEAKING TO ME ABOUT IT. now that my accident has been a year ago and waiting for HER referral MD I can't go back to previous PT office. HERE LIES THE RUB. I recently receive a letter from Gottliebs office dropping my case because get this...LACK OF COMPLIANCE and no clear injury because she has NEVER received any medical information from my dr's office. Either the previous reviews are from staff, family and friend or they are just plain lies. Either Mr Gottlieb needs to vet his own clients or get better help. He would do better with a law student on loan/internship vs what he has staffed presently.

I am very sorry that you were not happy with our decision to close your file. New York State Law requires that you have a serious injury in order for you to recover money damages. It was my legal opinion that your injury did not meet the serious injury threshold and therefore we would not be successful in obtaining a settlement or award for you. In any event, there is no charge for legal services rendered and we have absorbed the cost of pursuing your case. It is my strict policy to always speak or meet with any of my clients when asked. Please feel free to call if you would like to discuss this with me. If I am not in the office when you call, I will get back to you within 24 hours, usually before the end of the business day. I will also be happy to make an appointment to meet with you.
