Not for me

I would not recommend Javier I really don't think he put forth a very good effort. He didn't keep me informed and was hard to reach. His new office staff receptionist xavier is friendly but not sure all the times I called was relayed to him because when we did talk he didn't seem to be up to date.... Although the office of Robert Wisniewski States he will stay with the case to the end Javier does not. Before the judge made his decision Javier didn't tell me he was under the impression that I hadn't told anyone about my neck hurting for 2 yrs, I could of gave him proof the Dr was told in his notes. To make it short in the 2 week's I had to request for a review and open the web portal to submit the information, it was done in time but the Judge said it was untimely, to late. Now Javier quits before the review could dated same stamped date as the Judge. Now I am in Appeals and had to write my own brief with out a lawyer that was accepted and done on time. Also the referals given didn't want to take the case. So I am still hurt, still getting injections and gone threw 5 major surgeries without any compensation or taken out of pain with my collar bone still torn away from sternum because Javier could not convince the judge that a 57 yr old women lifting a air plane engine that probably weighted 175 to 200lbs injuries stopped at the arm pit and could not of affected the collar bone back and neck at the same time. No I would not recommend him.

Did a great job~

Javier took my case when several others declined because it was Covid related. He listened to me and understood my concerns. He worked to get me a fair settlement when I really thought there was a small chance for success. He kept me informed at all steps in the process and explained things plainly s...o that I could make informed decisions about my case. The staff was very responsive and courteous throughout and I would definitely use their services again.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
