Stop letting amatuers handle my case

I handled Mr. Singer because he had a reputation for being very knowledgeable workers comp. lawyer. But, after he took my case, he handed my case off to a non-lawyer (Sophia) who I can barely understand. She's not a lawyer and I find it impossible to get a hold of Ed. He sends Sophia to court for ...him though she's not a lawyer. When I hired Ed, I expected a lawyer to handle my injury case not someone "paralegal".. Sophia hardly even speaks English.

Terrific lawyer

Mr. Singer did an excellent job on my husband's case. My husband got injured at work and we spoke to several lawyers who seemed to run their firms like a mill. We finally met with Ed. He met us on the weekend and I was amazed of his knowledge of not only workman's compensation law, but also medica...l issues. He fought very hard for us. His staff of paralegals were also wonderful. I would recommend Ed.

I TRUST HIM!!!

I've been with Mr. Singer since 2007..... This case has been drawn out due to my previous employers lack of accountability. I appreciate the fact that Ed has been consistent and continues to fight the fight for me to get what is right.... A lot of other Attorneys would have told me to give up and ac...cept the measly settlement they have offered, believe me I've been tempted because it's been a long road of B.S. However, because he believes what they have done is wrong and discriminatory towards me, he continues to battle for me and my greater good without having received a red cent, and for that I am truly grateful! I appreciate that he is available to discuss things via telephone, or in the office, although sometimes it is a few weeks out, but I understand. I have entrusted him to handle my case and I let him do his work, and know that I will be notified of any pertinent information. However, I am not one that needs to be updated daily on the status because I know my previous employer is dragging their feet on the whole thing, they are a government agency after all. Sooooo, thank you Ed for your continued support and determination regarding my case!!!

RUN AWAY FROM THIS GUY IMMEDIATELY AND BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!

I'm the former Client of Mr. Singer. Mr. Singer poorly represented me in my workers compensation cases. I would agree with all those 4 reviews out of 5 that Mr. Singer's former clients have posted on Avvo.com. In addition, I would like to add that Mr. Singer failed to obtain me the mileage expenses f...rom defendants in the past several months (half a year approx.). Also, he failed to obtain me the correct TTD rate from defendants. Furthermore, he did not communicate with me about my QME appointments prior to my appointments. Nor, he answered/returned my phone calls. He did not reply to my emails despite I made numerous follow ups and despite several months have passed. He did not produce the copy of my file despite I made numerous requests. Most importantly speaking he sent his representative to a Court hearing without my authorization as an professional licensed lawyer. After I complained and questioned about this he retaliated against me. He agreed with defendants on a QME doctor to have my rheumatological conditions evaluated which doctor in fact specialized in internal medicine. As per the numerous court documents it appears that Mr. Singer was not working on my cases with diligence. Moreover, he scheduled a meeting with defendants about settling my case without informing me of this. On the day of the meeting he started to represent me the interests of defendants but on the expense of my retainer. After I refused to settle my medical treatment and after I complained about his representation of defendants Mr. Singer refused to represent me and retaliated for the same. I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND MR. SINGER TO INJURED WORKERS.

  • 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.
