Great Lawyer for Workers Compensation

From day one Geoff kept me well informed of how my case was going. He is very experienced in workers comp law and knew the proper steps to take in every part of my case. He always called me back very promptly if I had any questions. I couldn’t have had a better Lawyer in my opinion. I would highl...y recommend him to family and to anyone who needs an experienced WC Lawyer.

Successful resolution: compassionate and capable team

I contacted Mr Hilsberg after sustaining a life changing injury at work for consultation with the aim to understand my rights. As my employer provided excellent support for medical care and transportation, Mr Hilsberg explained Pennsylvania's worker's compensation laws and process and we agreed to ke...ep in touch over the years of my recovery. Once I needed legal support to address issues, I hired Mr Hilsberg to represent me. He communicated on my behalf for over a year, kept me informed, discussed options and clearly explained each step of the case: deposition, hearing, settlement. We recently achieved a satisfactory settlement and it was the only time Mr. Hilsberg was paid for all the support he provided me over the years at no cost. He and his staff made a personally difficult situation much easier for me and I highly recommend his office.

Client

I have been with Geoff for 12 yrs now. I highly recommend Geoff for any injury. Geoff is the most professional, empathetic, compassionate attorney, that I have had the privilege of representing me all these years. Melissa Haines, Geoff's secretary is amazing, professional and on the ball. This... is the team you want for any injury! Won't go ANYWHERE ELSE. THE BEST!!!!!!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
