Thorough, Compassionate, and Knowledgeable

When I first was injured, I had become a client of a law firm whom I later realized were too busy to receive my questions and help me make the best decision regarding my worker's compensation claim. I started to look for another law office, but after several phone calls, I found that no one else woul...d hear my story or accept me because I had already established with a law office. Finally, one of the law offices referred me to Jeff and he patiently listened to me discuss my case and what I was looking for in a lawyer. He invited me to meet with him in person in his office. We had a lengthy conversation about my case where he patiently and thoroughly answered the many questions I had that went unanswered by my previous lawyer. Jeff accepted me as a client. He equipped me with the information I needed to make wise decisions regarding my case and informed me of what I would encounter, as this injury was life-altering in so many ways. He was attuned to that and did everything he could to keep me informed. He is great about getting back to you on the phone, presenting all sides of a situation, and preparing you for next steps in the process. He not only worked with me but was willing to speak with my husband on my behalf as requested. The success of my case I contribute to a lawyer who does the job well. When you as the client are willing to put in the work to better your situation, Jeff will help you get to where you need to be and he eases a lot of uncertainty in a very tumultuous change in one's life.

Talent, Honesty and Results Proven

Anybody looking for a good comp attorney/lawyer in Buffalo or a good Social Security Attorney/Lawyer in Buffalo should look no further than Jeffrey Steenberg. I would say Jeff Steenberg is a great Attorney in this area of law. Jeff Steenberg is an amazing workers comp and social security lawyer in Bu...ffalo NY. There are many law firms that handle workers comp and social security claims. Most law firms handle huge caseloads and many times have too many cases. This leads to some cases not having the attention they deserve. With Jeffery Steenberg, clients have an attorney that specializes in the areas of Comp and SS. Hopefully Jeff is able to take your case, if so, it is very likely he will win it for you. This is what everyone ultimately wants but what about the short term Like being treated like a human being and not a number? Jeffery Steenberg has returned every one of my phone calls, he also wrote a letter to one of my debt collectors so that I wouldn't lose my home while I was waiting for a settlement. Jeffery Sternberg goes above and beyond when it comes to helping his clients succeed. He also keeps his clients informed every step of the way. If you want the best lawyer in Buffalo NY on your side, Mr. Steenberg is the man. You don't have to take my word for it but Jeffery has been spotlighted on local TV networks for his amazing talents as a bar certified lawyer. Buffalo NY residents looking for a superior lawyer that gets the job done with flying colors should call Jeffrey Steenberg right now. PS. Jeffrey Steenberg knows top notch personal injury lawyers that often maximize awards for their clients. Just ask for a referral :)

Best lawyer for Workers comp !

The insurance company for my workers comp always tried to find a way to NOT pay me for the benefits I was entitled to. Jeff and his team did an ABSOLUTELY AWESOME job in finally after 2 years a settlement was reached, which I am very happy with. They were always available by the phone, at times I wo...uld call them weekly for issues needing their attention.
