Honest attorney who gets results

Steven Goddard was an excellent workmans competition attorney. He was honest and patient with me. I fired a big name attorney firm before I hired him. He actually got me more than I expected. I am pleased and would recommend him to anyone with a workplace injury.

Outstanding

I was referred to Mr. Goddard by the North Law Firm as a workers compensation specialist. Mr. Goddard took over my case after a several month stand-off regarding my settlement, he secured a settlement within 30 days and increased the value of the settlement by several thousand dollars. I would recomm...end Mr. Goddard to anyone who has need of a workers compensation attorney.

Res - If I only knew then what I know now.

After reading some of the reviews posted on this website, I only wish I had read them before I hired this attorney. Everything that has been said is true. I have waited months for answers to questions about my case and I am still waiting for him to reply. But I no longer wait. I only call the State o...f Florida and the Florida Bar when I need answers. Why is he still employed, I just don't know, it is a question of the ages.

what a mistake....please don't do as I did

You almost expectant to be ignored, lied to and victimized by your employer & work comp insurance adjuster. But by your own attorney whom you hired to look after your best interests? This is exactly what happened to me after I made the mistake of hiring Stephen Goddard to handle my work comp case.... He definitely said what I needed to hear during a point in my life where I was out of work, in pain and had no idea what to do next. The funny thing is, here I am a year later and still in the same situation. Not one time has he advocated for me in my time of need or even pointed me in the direction I need to go. Emails go unanswered. Questions are flat-out ignored, if you are "lucky enough" to get a vague cookie cutter response. Phone call back? LOL Yeah, right. Then I find out they have completely undervalued my case, as I questioned him all along, but was told I was wrong. No explanation why. Just told I was wrong. They don't even bother to keep your contact information up to date, even though you have copies of the ignored emails that were sent with new address and phone numbers. They keep sending time sensitive deposition and mediation notices to old addresses. Don't bother asking what is going on or for someone to explain anything, because it won't happen. Stephen didn't even bother to show up to a deposition that I drove (well....spouse drove) 7 hours to get to, because Stephen Goddard didn't keep my address updated. Oh....but the letter telling me of the deposition did get to me 3 DAYS before (after letter was dated and then postmarked 7 days after) What a joke. I am getting away while I can.
