This is my second time working with Steinburg Law. I cannot even begin to tell you how much of my stress and anxiety was relieved when Mr. White took my case. The open lines of communication and thorough explanations gave me such peace of mind through the entire process. Once again, I would like to thank Steinburg Law for seeing me through a difficult process with a proficiency and competence that is superseded by no other firm.

Excellent and knowledgeable Workers Compensation Attorney
Mr. White is very knowledgeable,compassionate and goes above and beyond to help his clients. After being an RN for 28 years ,I had a neck injury at work that required a 2 level cervical fusion. I lost my job the week before surgery because I had run out of FMLA. I had no idea what to do so I called his firm and was given a very quick appointment.After meeting with him , I definitely knew he was the one to help. He was very knowledgeable about my injury and how it could affect my future ability to work. Unfortunately , I continued to have probems for the next year and a half and he made sure that I received all of the care that I needed . He also guided me in regards to appying for Social Securiy Disability because I am still unable to work and made sure that Workers Compensation would cover any therapy,visits, tests and treatments that my surgeon orders for the rest of my life ! Ther are no words to express the gratitude that I have for him and his entire staff!
I would also like to give a five star rating to his paralegal Tara Rudman. She is competent,compassionate and excellent at her job. When I had issues or problems of any kind she was so effficent at getting them resolved.
I would also like to give a 5 star rating to Susan Rienzo who assisted me with the difficult process of applying for Social Security disablity. I had to call several times, but she was very helpful.

Exceptional excellence, professional, and highly respected by many peers & professionals
Tom White is known throughout Charleston for his exceptional and honest reputation. And, this speaks highly of his honest character and professionalism as a lawyer and personally as well. Several people recommended me to call him. And, I’m so thankful I did!! Tom is wonderful! He is very intelligent, personable, helpful, patient with his clients, and very knowledgeable about law. In addition, he was always conscientious and up to date about the status of my case. Likewise, his Paralegal Tara Rudman was very helpful, professional (and kind), and would remind me of appts, times, or any changes. I definitely would recommend Tom White highly to anyone needing excellent representation. During this rough time, I was so thankful to have a team that supported me in many ways. Wonderful office and staff - and, I also had the pleasure of meeting Susan Rienzo - who was very nice. Wonderful staff and office!!
