Worker's Comp Attorney - Best Ever

Siles and Foster, P.C. is the best worker’s compensation attorney office. This is the second time I have used Steve Foster to represent me in my worker’s compensation case. Unfortunately, I was reinjured at work and immediately knew that I would choose Siles and Foster Law Office to represent me ag...ain. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings and got back to me quickly. His administrative staff, especially Tabitha, was always friendly and never made me feel like she was in a rush. She was knowledgeable and would find out the answers quickly if she was unsure. When you get injured, worker’s compensation can be a nightmare and be very confusing. The firm helped navigate the insurance company and get doctors that cared about my well-being. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney that is respectful and knows how to fight for his client, Steve Foster is the right choice. His legal representation restored my faith in the justice system. I highly recommend and will work with this law office again. Thanks, team! Dan H.

Fast and fair!

I've never had a lawyer before and so I was nervous on finding one. Well Mr. Foster did not disappoint. He explained things to me in a way I could understand and his fees were very fair. If I ever need legal counsel again in the future I'll be calling him back.

Not an Employment/Labor Law Attorney!

I hired Mr Foster because he was (and as of right now still is) listed under employment attorneys. Upon being suspended for missing work on Dr approved leave and requesting his help filing a discrimination claim under California law and labor code 132a, he informed me he was "in over his head." and r...eferred me to an associate who was not interested in my case.

Highly recommend

Mr Foster and his staff are amazing. Mr Foster explained everything to clearly to me. He laid out his plan and got to work. My workmen's comp case was settled in timely manner. Mr Foster and his staff where always available to answer any of my questions.
