Attorney, missing in action

I have the misfortune of having 4 different cases. 1 was a discrimination case with an employer and was settled in mediation for an amount that was far from fair and should have gone to Federal Court but that was not Marc Weinberg"s decision and I did not understand that at the time, so I did not und...erstand that I was poorly represented as my options were not explained to me by my own attorney. Since I was niave I was pushed into a personal injury suit by Marc Weinberg as I was still recuperating from injuries sustained in an auto accident from 2010, an accident I was found at fault in so I did not think I could sue for personal injury. My injuries were serious and life changes that will effect me for the rest of my life. I was not at fault as the other driver cut me out so bad that I could not stop in time and hit her. The most important fact here is I never consented or signed contract to pursue this matter. Many months later I received notice from Marc Weinberg's office that I was to appear for mediation regarding the 2010 aut accident. Their had never been any contact regarding this at all until this mediation letter. Since I had no knowledge of this independent decision by Mar. Weinberg I had signed consent papers for him to represent me in another case against Allstate for non-payment of medical claims in another auto accident in July 2013 which was clearly not my fault and the other driver was found at fault. I sustained irrevsable neck injuries causing pain, spasm and numbness of my right arm from the elbow down. This very simple case just resolved a few weeks ago in arbitration and I still do not even know how much money and to what providers of care have received. Due to unpaid medical bills I now have 3 collection agencies and my credit has gone from 852 to 570. When I was able to get in contact t with Marc, which was pure hell as he may call you back weeks later after I would have to threaten him with ending our relationship and reporting negligence, and he would always tell me that he was handling things with Allstate and with the health care providers, he clearly did not. The final straw was that after numerous continuances', and the first court appearance was set for almost a year after the case was filed, Marc made an independent decision go arbitration with Allstate without my presence. He never even informed me that arbitration had been set up. WTF! Now I can't get a hold of him since I expressed my displeasure with his independent decision and that I am owed a significant amount of money from Allstate as initially I was trying not to end up in collections until I just could not afford it as I am on disability now. He acted surprised that I paid some of the bills which to me means he dies not have money for my expenses. So now he is missing in action. I have emailed him and left 2 messages at his office and , what a surprise, no return call. I still have 1 case I f discrimination among other things against the Philadelphia Veterans Medical Center. The internal investigation has been complete and was in a timely matter because the VA was in control but since I have decided to move forward to EEOC and Federal Court it"s been the same games that Marc Weinberg is notorious for. It is important to note that I was misinformed that Marc specialized in employment law and I definitely mentioned this to him on more then 1 occasion and he leg me continue under these false pretenses.

personal injury client

I have know Marc for over 10 years. He is an excellent attorney. Although I have read in previous comments he is non caring, hard to get in touch with, a snake in the grass, etc. I totally disagree. How many attorney's give out their personal cell phone numbers? How many attorney's call their cl...ients back on Sunday evenings? How many attorney's have Sunday or Saturday or in home appointments? I don't think there are many out there. In any business you have to take the good with the bad and in Marc Weinberg's case the good far out weighs the bad. His office staff, although very busy, are always willing to help. If they cannot help they will do their best to get the proper answers needed. I have not found anyone who is more caring than Marc. He is also an excellent advocate for children and especially those with special needs. I would recommend him to anyone. As a matter of fact I have recommended him to at least 5 of my friends.

I would never go anywhere else

I have been a client of Marc Weinberg's for over 15 years regarding many different legal matters. I have never experienced any of the problems noted in these other reviews. Maybe I am just a little more sympathetic to busy people as I am a professional myself. I have always been able to speak to M...arc's office staff if I was unable to reach him. His staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about the law. As far as cell phones being full. I don't know of any attorneys who give out their cell phone numbers to clients. Although Marc may be hard to get a hold of sometimes, ask for his assistant and she will be glad to help you. If either of these people leaving comments had ever seen Marc in a courtroom I think they would have nothing but applause for his amazing skills and likable personality

Marc Weinberg, Work Ethics

I do not agree with the previous reviews. I have used Marc Weinberg several times. I have become a personal friend of Marc's through his representation. Marc is a very caring, honest, and compasionate person and would go the extra mile to help in any way he could. If Marc can not help you he would ...send you to an attorney who he feels would best represent you. As in a sence of time, he has no control over how long the other party takes to respond to each complaint filed and or pay out on agreed monies. As for his staff if you have had problems you should have addressed them to the office manager and or Marc himself and I am sure he would of fixed the probelm. Marc Weinberg is an excellent lawyer and knows what to do in almost any situation. Marc always states to me clients come first " If it were not for my clients" I would not have a job to do.
