no client communication

Never calls or updates client on any motions with your case leaves you hanging

Friendly at initial contact, but does not respond to questions about the case

Anita was very friendly and accommodating at initial contact when we were looking for an attorney. She spent a lot of time getting specifics of the case from us, and was very patient and open. However, after we signed the contract with Anita, we never heard from her with any updates on the case.... We signed 2 months ago, and since then we made about 10 inquires to find out where the case stands (fax, e-mail, text, phone). None of the calls or inquiries has been returned to date. I'm giving Anita the benefit of 2 starts just based on the pleasant initial interaction, and will update my review as the case progresses. If you are searching for a workers compensation attorney, think hard whether you really need one. Hiring an attorney prevents you from contacting the clerk who handles your claim for an insurance company directly. Anita seemed a lot nicer and came across as easy to work with compared with someone else we had met for this case, however based on complete lack of response we may have made the wrong choice hiring her.

Top shelf lawyer, The best

Anita has been my attorney for the last 5 years on a work comp case. She has not called me to tell me that nothing has happened. When there has been something going on I have been kept up to date. I have not been worried about a quick settlement. Fast money will not replace what a competent attorney... will do for you. If you are looking for the best work comp Attorney Anita is your best option. Anita will have your best interest in mind. The two people I trust in this mess are the Doctor and Anita Decarlo

terrible

She is terrible at keeping her clients abreast of the situation. She promised me a settlement in July of 09. It is now late April 10. She has not returned a call since the beginiing of March, and her sidekick Laura is about the least professional person I have ever dealt with. If you choose her I... have two words for you, caveat emptor.
