Review Scott Sternberg

Extremely Pleased

Posted by Nancy
Wed Mar 28 2018

From start to finish I was extremely pleased with Attorney Sternberg and his staff. Any phone calls or emails were promptly answered and when I went to mediation I felt that the whole process was explained to me fully. He not only got me a very fair settlement it was done in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this firm and thank them for all they did for me.

Mr. Sternberg is a very knowledgable and trustworthy attorney. He has his clients best interest. He was very supportive of all that I was going through both physically and emotionally during my workers compensation case, helping me during a very stressful time in my life. I am very grateful for his guidance and steady presence (also for his staff) throughout the lawsuit.

Professional and friendly firm

From start to finish, a quality attorney and highly organized law firm. They kept on top of my case from beginning to end and I never felt neglected in any aspect of my dealings with them. I have already given the firm name to several other friends with similar legal cases. Their knowledge of the workman's Comp law was above reproach.

Mr. Sternberg handled my workers compensation claim. He was very responsive throughout my workers' compensation claim and is very quick to return my calls. The workers compensation system was very frustrating, but Mr. Sternberg and his paralegal have been very helpful and sensitive to my situation. He is currently pursuing a social security disability claim for me. I would recommend Mr. Sternberg to my friends and family.

The worst!

If you hire this attorney, prepare to be manipulated, lied to and played games with. You will leave messages for your attorney, because everybody is busy when you call. I left messages for a week before someone called me back and was told they had problems with their answering service. I was told the check is in the mail, after 6 days of not getting it, I finally had to threaten calling the bar association just to speak with someone, who then said, that person who was supposed to send it was out of town... I believe that would give you any garbage statement to shut you up and get off the phone. Personally, I will never use this firm again nor will i recommend anyone to them.
