Recommendation for a great attorney
If you are looking for an experienced law firm to represent you, then I would highly recommend The Nomberg Law Firm. They are a highly reputable firm and are respected by their peers at other law firms. This played to my advantage, particularly in my case which involved Workman’s Compensation. I was provided professional help from their associated experts that really supported my case. Their advise on the “do’s and do nots” was also helpful. As we moved forward in my case, it became apparent that I had chosen the right law firm.

Outstanding law firm
I was initially apprehensive about seeking legal counsel after getting hit by a distracted driver this past spring. A friend recommended we give Bernard Nomberg a call just to learn about the legal process. We had not been on the phone with Bernard for more than a minute before we knew we had made the right decision. He was knowledgeable and took the time to explain each step of the process. Anytime Bernard called to check on us or give an update, it felt like a family member was calling to check in. The Nomberg Law Firm excels at helping people because they truly care about each client. Everything was handled in an organized, timely manner and I never felt confused by any step of the process. I will proudly wear my Nomberg Law Firm cap and recommend them to everyone! Shout to Alexis for her professionalism and hard work. Like Bernard, she is an excellent communicator and very personable.

Highly recommended
My name is Anita. I was injured on my job the earliest part of 2019. From the very first day that I spoke with David Nomberg, I knew that I wanted him to help me. I didn't know anything about work comp, but by time that he explained to me my rights and what he was willing to do to help me, there was no turning back. His professionalism is what I liked the most. I feel that he is a very honest and fair man and I would recommend anyone to hire him. I am completely satisfied with the outcome of my settlement. How staff is amazing and they are very down to earth. I love Hannah and I was made to feel like I mattered and that I was family. This has truly been a great experience.

Review for Work Comp Claim
Words cannot describe how thankful I am that God put David Nomberg in my path as my work comp attorney. David is kind, professional and produces results which is what you want and need in a work comp attorney. My case was extremely complicated and tedious and he stayed with me the entire time - 5 years. He never over-promised and he never under-delivered. He is an absolute gift and it's no wonder his law firm has won several awards. If you need a work comp attorney he is worth every single penny and more. Thank you so much for taking care of me and making sure that I received everything that was due to me as a result of my work accident including a generous settlement.

You Will Not Find Better
David began to help me even before I was ready to have an attorney represent me during my Work Comp case. He was very patient, kind, and understanding. Once I did ask him to represent me, he made everything clear and straight forward so I understood every detail. He and his staff kept communication with me throughout the settlement process so I was never in the dark, and when the time came to sign the agreement and meet with my job's attorney, I did not feel uncomfortable at all. I highly recommend David if you ever need an attorney to represent you in a Work Comp case. You will not regret the decision.
