Don’t hire Ed Singer!!!

I was referred to Mr. Singer by a friend who's father is a judge and recommended him. I thought that if a judge recommends an attorney to a family member, he must be good. As it turns out, Mr. Singer is extremely knowledgeable about work comp law. However, he has failed to take care of me as a cli...ent. When I first contacted Mr. Singers office, I was immediately able to consult directly with Mr. Singer. That was the one and only time I was able to call his office and speak to him directly in over 5 years. I have had to wait up to 4 months just to speak to him for 5 minutes. Mr Singer does not return phone calls, emails, texts, faxes and will not see you if go to his office. Mr. Singer May be knowledgeable about the law but he is absolutely incapable of taking care of his clients! The problem is that Mr. Singer has so many clients that he can't possibly give any one client the attention that their cases need and deserve. Losing a client to bad customer service does not phase Mr. Singer as he is already overbooked way beyond his capacity to do his job proficiently and he will get your money regardless! Mr. Singer knows exactly what he is doing and he is in it only for the money, he doesn't give a rats ass about his clients! What ever you do, don't hire Ed Singer! Ed Singer is unethical and he is the epitome of the shister attorney that gives other attorneys a bad name.

Doesn't keep appointments and sends incumpotents to hearings

I worked for a large school district. The principal of the school threatened my life, so I filed a workers compensation claim. I made the mistake of hiring Mr. Singer. I would setup a phone conference with him but he would not call me the day of the appointment. He doesn't contact me for months.... I had to walk into his office to just get ahold of someone and then they say he's not there. He also sends incompetent people to court for him. At the last hearing, he sent someone who I couldn't even understand her.

I contacted Mr. Singer thru AVVO message posting. I asked him if he could contact me back via email and he did the next day. He also allowed me to email him WC case related documents before I talk to him on the phone. He also called me proactively from his end. When I called him after sendi...ng him emails first. He was very kind, professional, upfront and straight down to urgency business at hand. He was also very supportive and understanding of my most complicated WC case and situations (other attorney previously indicated to me not able help me further due to complexity nature of my case) and was willing to take more of his value time talking to me on the phone. Due to complexity nature of my case, he was also willing to meet with me at his office for further consultation. Thank you Mr. Singer from bottom of my heart. PS, Please also know Sergio of your office staff who contacted me back to schedule me a follow up appointment with you was extremely kind and very friendly. Just talking to kind voices of Sergio and yourself on the phone, makes my visit so much easier with lesser pressure and stress.

Always helpful

On countless occasions Mr. Singer has taken my calls and has given me helpful advise in handling both my workers comp case and my employment issues. I am thankful that there are attorneys like him.

Client

I have a case with Mr. SINGER's office. I'm disabled and this case is now going on 5 years with nothing. I have received 2 years of gas reimbursements from going to doctors. I feel I am at the same place, when my case is first started. Every time I call I have a different Paralegal (anyone can be... labeled a Paralegal) and I feel like I am wasting my time. They promise to call back and never do. They can't tell me if they did what they promised they would do and cut you short. I'm ready to do a Star Bar complaint. I just want to know where they went wrong? I feel they aren't doing there job because this case should be done. I'm just praying I still have a case because of legal proceedings that must be complete. Not sure, but I need to find out because I feel like something isn't done.
