Professional Team led by a Motived Attorney.

Long story made short, I had a personal injury/worker’s compensation case. I went with one of those advertised TV Attorneys, I failed. Needless to say I was poorly advised by the TV Attorney, the case was starting to get to the point Worker’s Comp was about to expire. I reached out to a local Atto...rney I knew and he referred me to Mr. Landau. Mr. Landau set up a meeting with me and gave me a rundown on what to expect, he was on the money with his predictions. Needless to say, My initial decision to go with the TV Attorney cost me, but Mr. Landau negotiated a fair compromise. His staff is very professional, responsive, and timely, you are not rushed along, they do take the time to explain things to you. If you have a need for a professional team that focuses on getting the job done, go with Abrams Landau Law Firm, you won’t regret it.

Truly a top-notch Lawyer

I came to Mr Landau a few weeks after my injury on Oct 9th 2018. Since then him and his team are the best I've seen to truly care about a honestly injured client. Him and his team had won my case and did my family right by getting a decent settlement. I had major back surgery and my family suffered s...o much for 10 months before he won our case Aug 2nd 2019. It was 10 months of hell as we almost lost our dream house to foreclosure, literally. The surgery was a huge part of my case. I have some permanent damage to my nerves but I eventually will be able to possibly get back to some extent my original work. Things are different now , but at least the settlement will keep our family alive for a few months till I recover. But this law firm is the top of list for any injury somebody sustained at work. These insurance companies will spend more money to get out of it instead of just taking care of the client, me.If anybody needs a top notch WC lawyer, Mr Landau and his team will go to great lengths to win your case, and to keep you from getting "cheated" by insurance companies. He made sure I got the surgery and treatment I needed. Thank you so much Mr landau if you are reading this. Our family will forever be grateful for winning our case and even in the settlement which was more than usual for workers comp cases.And most importantly, truly caring for our family.

Super professional and very knowledgeable lawyer

Mr. Landau and his team were extremely helpful and professional in managing my recent workers’ compensation case. They were on top of things throughout the process; I was kept informed of progression of the case each step of the way. The team followed up on my questions in a timely manner, and effici...ently handled all communication with the other parties from start to finish. I am very satisfied with the outcome of the case. I would recommend Mr. Landau and his team without any hesitation.

An absolutely great firm with even better people

Mr Landau and his staff are absolutely amazing! From the very start they all were on their A-game. Always attentive, understanding, helpful, knowledgeable and sympathetic. i truly feel like I was put first. Hope I never have a need for another attorney, but if I do...there's only one place I'll turn ...to.

Breath of fresh air....

Facing a Workers Comp case is a scary and intimidating experience for me. Mr. Landau and his entire staff put me at ease from my very first point of contact. I felt as if I were a family member and they were welcoming me into their home, which by the way, is a home! I am totally confident that thi...s firm will do everything possible to make the process as painless and pleasant as possible. I can't thank my neighbor enough for her referral!
