An honest attorney for someone who has no knowledge about worker’s compensation

I suffered a knee injury at work 4/2018. Over a period of months my knee weakened & I was told by my doctor, I needed a replacement. My employer disagreed. I had no idea on how worker’s compensation worked. I sent the same email to 7 attorneys. Only one responded-Jeff. My email was full of dates & ...names of who was told what & when. It also contained my employers responses. Jeff said the detail & amount of information in my initial email made my case. Jeff walked me through the process. After the first hearing establishing my case, my employer denied my claim. Jeff told me exactly how to respond & what to fill out. He was caring & patient. He returned calls & responded quickly to email. He Took time to call & explain what forms were coming in the mail & what they meant. It took a couple hearings & an IME to authorize my claim & get my knee replaced. Jeff was there the entire time. He was patient & explained everything along the way. I will tell everyone who needs a worker’s compensation attorney to call Jeff. He is just a nice, humble & honest guy. He made this ordeal far less stressful & easier to understand. In short, he’s awesome. If you’re new to the system & need a beacon, let Jeff be that light.

What a difference a great lawyer makes

When l got hurt at work my union recommended a law firm , they were no help and gave me bad advice . Then I found out about Jeffrey Steenberg on AVVO. What a difference ! He took care of everything. Whenever I had a question he got back to me right away. I am totally satisfied with his representation... on me and very happy with the results. I would recommend him and his firm to anyone.

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.
