Alan M Schiffman

When my wife became disabled at work in 2007 we were almost immediately overwhelmed with the situation. We felt abused and taken advantage of by her employer’s workers’ compensation contractor, and she was even accused of faking her injury. Meanwhile, we were under stress and getting behind with bil...ls. We were being spied on and questioned at every turn. All we really wanted was for my wife to get better or, if that was not possible, to be fairly compensated. What we got was the runaround. Then my wife found The Schiffman Law Office on the internet. Alan Schiffman agreed to take my wife’s case with her employer, and things changed dramatically. Suddenly, our rights were respected, and we no longer had to live in dread of the next letter or phone call. Alan Schiffman and his staff & associates were very understanding of our situation and the stresses involved. We appreciated their kindness and patience with us. It was such a relief to have them working on our behalf. We were kept updated very well, and they explained things in plain speech without a bunch of legal jargon. Any time we called with a question we usually received an answer at that time, the same day or within twenty-four hours. Frequently, Alan called us personally to make sure we had a good understanding of what was going on. My wife and I agreed that we felt valued by Alan and his team. It turned out that my wife’s case was quite complex and not easily handled. The Schiffman Law Office stayed with us the whole time, eventually winning the case and a settlement for my wife. They also agreed to represent her with Social Security, and this case also came out positive. There were times when we might have given up completely. The legal system is so confusing and complicated that we had no hope of figuring out what to do on our own. When my wife’s employer accused her of faking we were very frustrated, and when she was initially turned down by Social Security we were quite disheartened. Alan was very encouraging and inspiring. His confidence in my wife’s case helped us not to be discouraged. He took care of everything; he didn’t just stand by us he stood with us throughout the appeal process with Social Security. I should add that we were never asked for any money up front. After talking with other lawyers that wanted hundreds of dollars just to look at my wife’s case we were very grateful for that. The fees were very reasonable and everything was clear and understandable before we agreed to have The Schiffman Law Office represent her. Once the case was settled there were no surprises. My wife and I are extremely grateful for the help we received from Alan Schiffman and his associates. We could not have made it through this ordeal without him. I am very happy to write this letter saying so, because we believe there is no one better.

So I had an appointment with Alan Schiffman today. figured I'd write a review for future seekers of disability lawyers in the area. I have to say I was more than pleased with the attention to detail and the knowledge pertaining to the disability system. Even informed me of a type of claim that I migh...t qualify for because of when my injury was sustained. He went over everything and always asked if I was understanding, more than willing to explain further. He made me feel comfortable when I usually have anxiety issues in doctors and lawyers offices. He's the kind of guy where he's not gonna try to just take your money. He going to try and find a way for you to get the benefits you deserve without his help. But when it comes to the point of necessity, he'll exhaust all options before he'll quit fighting for you. Ive had a couple bad experiences with Disability Lawyers where they just overlooked my claim completely and refused to help. Even had appointments canceled. Heck, when I came here, I was 30 mins early and he got to me within 10 mins pretty much. That might not always be possible, but when it is, he'll do it. If you need the help, you at least owe it to yourself to have a sit down with him or his partners and see if need his services.
