10 STAR REVIEW

I had a very complicated and difficult Workman's Compensation/Disability case. I contacted several attorneys who were recommended to me but to no avail ... I never could get past a Legal Assistant, and if I did get to briefly chat with the lawyer on the phone, they would decline my case and tell me t...here was nothing they felt they could do. Feeling very discouraged, I gave up and a few years passed. It just seemed hopeless. But then I decided for one last time I would try to find a lawyer and that's when I saw Mr. Weiss's website. My wife said to me, (and I kid you not) "you know what I think? This man has an honest face ... I'm going to call his office tomorrow". And that she did. She explained my case to Legal Assistant Ana Zeiser and the very confusing details to which she replied "there's something to your case .... I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I'm going to speak with Steve". Stunned that someone actually wanted to help me, I was even more stunned that a call came back and Mr. Weiss wanted to set up a consultation with both my wife and me at his office - not over the phone. Intrigued and up to the challenge, he got to every detail of my case...every document, every court filing, every medical record ... everything. He read endless pages of documents and files and found a solution to my unique case which was very similar to another case that was on record from 1972!! He took the time to research through cases that go back 40 years!! I was always kept up to date on my case's progression - when he and I needed to meet, when and if I needed an IME, when he and I had a court date, when he would be speaking with the Insurance adjuster. Mr. Weiss was just a phone call away and if I left a voicemail or sent an e-mail, Ana replies back to you within a business day. I can't tell you exactly how many hours he put in, but I can tell you he has been our lawyer for the past 4 years... keeping my case open until a fair settlement could be agreed to. He is a wealth of knowledge, patient, highly experienced, explains everything very clearly that I understood every aspect of my case and how we would move forward - the pros and the cons. And then there's Ana ~ who I will be forever grateful for listening and having the expertise to know that my case was viable. Again, if ever you have a Workman's Compensation / Disability claim - be it as simple or as complex as mine, do not hesitate to call Mr. Weiss as he hands down is the lawyer you want on your side ... you will not regret your decision. I highly recommend this dynamic duo
