Independent Contractor/ Case Investigator with SBL

A very close attorney I have worked with for almost 5 years, went to SBL to set up a" Medical Malpractice " area adding an additional service the firm could offer clients. to assist their client's needs concerning the case they are fighting for. I have dealt with dozens of attorneys in the last 1...5 years, and all of them are great yet, SBL was/is different... They stand out with me. Not simply fantastic to work with, of course, that's my opinion, but are patient, kind, respectful, and diligent, all while treating you like family! That is the one thing that gets repeated every time I meet clients, they state to me they feel very at home with the SBL. I don't have to write this review, yet after reading the 1-star review(s)... ( the reviewer was false, as no attorney would professionally advise you to go file your own case and see if that works for you...) Therefore, I felt compelled to write this review. In life, you wish you got appreciated more by people, your family, public officials, or your boss, But you're very appreciated as a client at this firm. They do not turn away cases because it's not lucrative enough or...If an injured person is not injured enough, ( Second ridiculous statement), that is false! They care. For a large firm, You would never know it as they are very family-orientated. Oh, & SBL sends an investigator out to you, They gather your permission for all the information needed, and gather it for you! Just think of the jingle we remember as youths...." Dial 1- 800- CALL SAM " ( I'm 56 and remember it while in elementary school)

Rejected my case

I called Sam Bernstein after drunk driver hit us, they had a lawyer call me from another office in Traverse City I believe (Im assuming my case wasn't BIG enough for them, the firm in TC called me asked a couple questions, the first question was "did I get hit by a semi truck!" I was told I didn't h...ave a case because I didn't have enough injury. Just want Sam Bernstein to know that it is almost 2 years come Nov 19 2022 I have received $67000.00 from my case thanks to JTrucks contacting me within 5 minutes of my email request, they were great very committed very attentive THEY got the job done! So had I not looked for a 2nd lawyer I would have not recieved any monetary funds for my injuries!! I watch their fake commercials and had to write this experience for my peace of mind...

Professional and attentive

When does a business fulfill an emotional purpose for you in a critical time & it pays off? Life doesn't look the same when you've suffered a serious injury. The first thing that happened when I told reception about my case, I was talking to Sam, himself, who I've seen in commercials since I was a ki...d. I don't know if he's there to do that every time, but all of their staff were efficient and on point the whole time, and I felt that I was cared about as part of the case. That let me focus on healing to get back to my life.

Lacks integrity and Professionalism

Hired Bernstein law. Directed to Rothstein Law for disability case. Rothstein attorney, knowing I had a strong case, (rather than advising me to take on and file myself and see if I get denied first, then have them represent me) they still had me sign the agreement for representation at the get go. O...f course they wanted to sign me on it was a strong case! Easy money for them. (Most people are led to believe that getting disability is a process a person can not achieve on their own). Rothstein Law knew I had a strong case. Yet they filed my case and that’s all they did. I did all the work. Faxing medical information, responding to all of SS disability requests. Interviews, collecting information. Rothstein did nothing. Rothstein Law most likely did not spend more than 30 minutes and 2 faxes at most. Yet my case was approved in 3 months due to my hard work and the wonderful people at SS Offices. Rothstein took the $7500 for doing 30 minutes of work. Sure shows how this branch of Sam Bernstein - Rothstein Law lacks integrity and professionalism. I reached out to Rothstein to discuss this and of course they won’t part with any of the $7500 (for doing 30 minutes of work - faxing a few documents). During the conversation with M Rothstein I mentioned “of course your in business to make money”. Her response “no we are here to help people”. Really? After 2 years of struggling financially because of a disablement”, I get awarded easily and they take $7500 for doing next to nothing but file my case. My advice- file first on your own. Steer clear of this attorney.
