I am a senior citizen still working. I work for a Goliath company. When I was injured on the job, my injury was ignored, refused and left me intimidated. I didn't know where to go or what to do. I saw a five-star review for Alan Schiffman's on the internet. When I met Alan, at his office, I was so r...elieved. In the waiting room, walls were covered with awards, plaques for Best Lawyer of the Year, and I felt such relief. Thank you for taking on Goliath and representing me. Thank you, Victor, Debbie and Eric for your support and guidance. I had my surgery, was compensated and you were there to make it all happen. For all seniors still working, for the minorities that need legal consultation, for all the women who need a great advocate, please contact Alan Schiffman. Thank you for changing my life. Linda S H

Keith

I hired Mr. Schiffman and his law firm to help me get the benefits that I was awarded, but the insurance company/carrier was dragging their feet on paying out. That was until Mr. Schiffman and his entire, experienced, patient, and fast working staff got involved. To say that I would recommend any... person in this world to Alan, and his amazing staff, is exactly what I would do. If you feel you are not being taken serious, or the walls are closing in from bills, overwhelming stress, fear of what your future is looking like, and ultimately, the fear of just not knowing or understanding when, how, or why; You are reading firsthand from that person. So please, take it from someone who has suffered every way that one could during a workers compensation claim, and even though I was beat down, I had lost all hope of ever being treated fairly, or taken seriously, I had one last attempt in me before giving up. And to say everything changed in my favor when I hired Alan, is exactly that. Thank you!

Grateful

Mr. Schiffman and his staff has brought much needed help in my Worker's Comp case. They are very attentive. My only regret is that I didn't hire him sooner. This is one of the best decisions that I have made.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
