I am currently a client of Goldberg Loren and I am...

I am currently a client of Goldberg Loren and I am enduring Oscar Martinez and his inability to do anything positive to move my case forward. In my opinion I read the other good reviews on trustburn and they sound pretty similiar and probably are not real at all but that is the review game these businessess play. I have requested contact infromation for opposing counsel and he ignored me multiple times. I have requested contact information for the employee lawyer that Oscar told me he has looking over the documents I sent him weeks ago and he ignored me. In my opinion I don't think any employee lawyer is looking into anything becasue they would have already reached out to me to discuss and haven't. I have also requested all and any communications by Oscar and his parelegal with Athens and the adjuster but he continues to ignore me and tell me he will give me my file. In my opinion I would look to another firm for you lifes needs because this firm does not put the client first at all even though they claim to. In my opinion Oscar would rather talk down to the clients and pretend that he has it all taken care of, when in fact he doesn't and can barely move a case forward on his own. In my opinion Oscar is a ambulance chaser that doesn't have the time to get up and chase anything or anyone, he'd rather sit and tell you what he is going to do while he waits for the possibiltity that the ambulance may park next to him and most of the time the ambulance doesn't which leads Oscar to create more dishonesty and excuses while we wait for any help or support at all. In my opinion you can tell when a lawyer shouldn't be working in continency basis programs because they are not motivated to do anything because most lawyers are driven and motivated by money. When there is no money, the ethics and professional standards dissipate as well as the amount of time and effort these lawyers put into your case.

Athens doesn't make a difference

I endured a student attack two years ago and opened up a workers comp case with Athens insurance. I have read that Athens states that their approach is to partner with our clients to provide service that translate to lasting benefit and that is part of the Athens difference. In my opinion this couldn't be more untrue. I am a client and Athens has done everything they can to not help me with my situation at all. The agent I was assigned was the most dishonest and unprofessional person I have encountered and he conspired with the school district to not have to pay me out. I have been waiting for over a year and half to get an epidural that the agent made me jump through many hoops to beef up the report and request for an epidural which his same company continues to deny. It is a ongoing cirlce of dishonesty and the same company controls both ends of this debacle as well as allowed the school district to create very dangerous and inappropriate accommodations which I declined and Athens and the school district benefitted from this bogus scam. I am currently not able to work, not able to collect disabilty because the school district doesn't pay into it, and in constant pain all day, everyday. Is this the Athens difference? I hope not and in my opinion I feel like you should do everything you can to avoid having these people insure you becasue they are not about client at all. It is all about the money for them and how much they can save by screwing you over.
