A great attorney!

Great work comp attorney

Scott represented me a few years back on a workman's comp case i had and I could not have been in better hands. After hiring an attorney who never responded or cared about my concerns, I was referred to Scott and Sheryl to further assist me. They helped me throughout the whole process and got me a fair settlement. I was impressed by the promptness of Scott's answers to my calls and emails. if there was a time he was not available his staff was there to assist. I highly recommend Scott and Sheryl Silberman.

A great attorney!

Silberman and Lam represented me in my work injury case and I couldnt have been more pleased. Scott and Sheryl not only really know the laws, but they are caring as well. I never felt like my case was unimportant to them and when they weren't available I found their staff to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I recommend Silberman and Lam to my family and friends and anyone I run into that has a workers compensation injury.

Excellent Lawyer Mr. Scott

Mr. Scott Silberman is an excellent lawyer in workers' compensation and SIBTF cases. He helped me when I needed him the most, he was very patient with my calls, and referrals to the doctors. Every time I called him he was there for me, I don't have the words to express how well he worked together with me to resolve all my cases. I appreciate everything that Mr. Scott has done for me.

Absolutely the best and most compassionate!!!

For anyone who needs an attorney that will genuinely cares and will truly be your advocate, Scott and Christine are absolutely incredible. My case has finally come to a conclusion after a decade of fighting. That said, this team took on my case after I had to fire not one, but TWO previous attorneys. Knowing that my case may not end up being very lucrative for them. Because of the care and very hard work they put in, I wouldnt recommend any other place to go. They will fight for you! Thank you so much to the entire silbermam & lam team! You made it all worth it!!!

Silberman & Lam

When I approached Silberman & Lam my expectations were very high. I had three surgeries and had managed my own case. After the third surgery I was tired of competing against the employer's law firm that had a team of skilled attorneys and the claims adjuster. My goal was for the insurance company to provide whatever was necessary to recover. That was more important to me than compensation. My attorney stuck it out with me. The paralegal, Christina, was the best. She was just as detail oriented as I was. Their team appealed Utilization Review denials. They also made sure that "all" of my pertinent medical records were sent to the Qualified Medical Examiner. I finally decided that it would be best for my attorney to discuss a compromise and release since I didn't want anymore surgeries. Finally, they were able to negotiate a settlement that was favorable.

Persistent

My lawyer Sheryl Lam got me a settlement that I believed I deserved based on the medical conditions I have now after having worked there. They tried to settle several times with a lower amount but she never gave up until I told her I would settle. I love all the assistants, they all could tell me what was going on with my settlement when I called so I could stay up to date. I would and have recommend them to my friends and family if they ever need a lawyer.

Helpful 110%

Both my parents and I have used Silberman and Lam on our unfair cases. It was very tedious and tiring after trying to deal with the employer's worker's comp who do not want to be fair or be on the worker's side. We wanted fair doctors, fair treatment to heal, to be able to have a life without pain. Silberman and Lam was there in a flash to help with our situations, of which my situation could have been fixed easily if worker's comp was not trying to pin me for something false. My parents situation was more harsh as my father's back was ruined from a horrible fall at work. I trust and recommend Silberman and Lam, as they are professional, honest, trustworthy, and helpful! I can't thank them enough for their service. Being a lawyer isn't easy. Neither is becoming a patient who wants to heal to still work.

Excellent

We didn't speak with Scott Silberman, we spoke to the Hearing Rep, Sergio Tellez. We went for a consult for my husband's work comp case/settlement as they were, (surprise), giving us the run around. Sergio listened to everything, explained a lot of things and we left feeling very confident that we are leaving things in very capable hands.

Couldn't be Happier

I was in a Workers Comp situation and my employer was not being fair. Reducing my hours, giving me undesirable tasks, he even claimed I quit! I needed a lawyer to help me fight those hardball tactics. Silberman and Lam did a great job and successfully negotiated a fair settlement. I highly recommend the great team at Silberman and Lam.

Wonderful Attorney!!!

Siilberman and Lam are the best to retain for a workers comp case. My husbands case lasted 13 years, and Scott and Sheryl hung in and guided us throughout the entire process. They are very compassionate, friendly, knowledgeable and very experienced. We just reached settlement and are extremely satisfied with the outcome. Heartfelt thanks to Scott, Sheryl and their staff!

Thank you Silberman and Lam!

I worked at the same company for 23 years and slipped on something in our factory that should not have been there. Both my employer and their insurance company insisted it was my fault and even after so many years with them were only going to pay me another 2 month's wages and let me go because I was "pushing retirement anyways and new employees were cheaper to hire." (although they claimed they said nothing like that) What they didn't say, but was obvious to everyone, was that with my injury I could no longer do the job I used to do. Scott helped me navigate the law and explained all of my rights as an employee who was hurt on the job. I cannot disclose anything about the company or my settlement but I cannot thank Scott and all of the employees at Silberman and Lam enough for everything they did!!

Almost Lost

I could not be happier that I wen to Silberman & Lam to take care of my case for workmans comp. They fought hard to get me everything I needed for my injury. While some things took a long time to ge done they did not give up and encouraged me not to give up either. We had to go to court many times to get various medical treatments approved and they were always successful. We recently settled my case for more than I expected. They were actually the second firm on my case. My first attorney I found through a television ad. I felt that I was just a number with that firm. With Silberman and Lam I felt like I was treated like family. If any of my family or friends is unfortunately enough to have a work injury, I will make sure that they see Sheryl and Scott.
