Alex Berman

Michigan's workers comp laws have become increasingly stacked against the injured worker, leaving little recourse for even the most steadfast of those injured in the line of work. After over 50 years of suffering a catastrophic workplace injury and of trying to navigate a path to my essential surviva...l, I somehow found The Michigan Worker's Comp Lawyers and Alex Berman with his lifetime of experience in dealing with situations like mine. Mr. Berman has from day one been persistent, accomodating and always available for communication to the point that I often wonder just how he manages to put in such long hours every single day. He's even called me from the doctor's office and he goes out of his way to find solutions that will work. I highly recommend this very honest and reputable firm to anyone seeking help in navigating today's increasingly stressful path towards justice for workers injured in Michigan.

Outstanding from start to finish! I would highly recommend Michigan Workers Comp Lawyers. Mark, Alex, and the rest of team were on top of things from day one. At no time was i left wondering what was going on, they were always prompt with updates and with answers to any questions that I would have. I...t was a pleasure working with Mark, who was a true professional throughout. I always knew where I stood and always got straight answers. I know that I am in very good hands with Mark and the team. Thanks again!!!

Alex Berman is more than an excellent attorney. He is an extremely passionate advocate for injured workers, so much so, that he also spends his time trying to change the strict workers comp laws with the Michigan government. If you want to get him going, talk to him about work comp politics. This wa...s a great reassurance that Alex cares about me, my future and even the future for all injured workers in Michigan. Alex and the attorneys at his firm, especially Jeff Kaufman, did the very best job for me as they could under the law. My case was quite a big case and there was a lot involved. I was an industrial mechanic. I was considered a top employee with this company for over 12 years and I had awards to prove it. My hands got so bad that I could only work with my left hand. HR approached me to send me for testing, and they put me on work comp without giving me a choice. I was as good as fired. It was scary. At that point, I did research online with different attorneys, and I came across the Michigan workers comp lawyers. I called and asked some initial questions and then things got worse at work. I had some nerve testing that lead to carpal in both arms, which ended up to several surgeries. Alex laid out exactly what was going to happen with my lawsuit and what to expect from the existing work comp laws in Michigan. At first I had a hard time believing my company would treat me like this, but when it was all said and done, everything happened at work and with my case as he predicted. I got this valuable advice before even signing on with this law firm. Then I hired Alex, because my employer was trying to do anything they could to try and get me to settle for as cheap as possible. For example, state law says the employer has to send you a check every week, but the company is not fined until the check is six weeks late. So the company would wait until close to that deadline and then send me a check. They were doing this because they know you have to buy groceries and pay rent. You can only sustain that lifestyle until you start to get in trouble. It's very important to have a lawyer on your side that understands what's going on. I think Alex and Jeff were right on top when it comes to that. They also can explain the politics of the law - a lot of people don't know the changes that happened in work comp, since the governor took office. It's very unsettling, because there are not protections for workers. There are protections for the insurance companies, who are running the state. To go into a case like this without an attorney is just foolish. For lack of a better term, I was happy with Alex and Jeff's bedside manner. I was a working man, working 70-80 hours and putting my life on the line. My attorneys were there to support me when I was at my lowest, injured and afraid for my future. They spoke to me with compassion. At a point, I got to know them enough to where I knew stuff that was going on in their families and they understood what was happening with my family. I knew they were working on my case hard. I knew they had my best interest in mind. When I reached out with questions and concerns, they were there. When I would call, even the staff help me immediately no problem. Alex made it comfortable to go to court. He told me what's going to happen and what I needed to do, so I was completely prepared. There wasn't a lot on me anyway, because they already did the work for you, like refusing to accept the initial settlement offers from my employer. They wouldn't let me take less than I was entitled to. In the long run, the settlement they got me as high as possible, and substantial enough so I can position myself to support my family, buy a home and have nice vehicles. I would highly recommend Alex Berman and any attorney at his law firm.

I got hurt at work. I blew my shoulder out and it affected my neck. Once the doctor told work comp that my neck might be involved, they started denying me. I Googled attorneys and Alex had a five star rating so I choose him. After I saw him, it was up and running. Alex has to be the most profound ind...ividual I ever met. He took care of me and he handed my case properly. I'm very pleased with the ability of his intelligence. Alex is very good at his job. The communication was especially excellent. Whenever I called, Alex and his team would be there and they had answers. They were very patient in explaining everything I needed to know. I was very pleased with the outcome of the case. Alex is like family to me now. If I could give him more than five stars, I would!

I retained Mr. Berman when I was injured at work. In nearly a year of representation he did next to nothing on my behalf, would seldom answer my questions or respond to calls or emails. The few times I could get him he would become annoyed and even once threatened that if I did not email an apology h...e would drop my case. Avoid this man at all costs. I finally got a new competent lawyer who had the entire case settled in less than 4 months after I was nearly ruined financially by Mr. Berman's incompetent representation.
