Not satisfied with this law firm or attorney representing in my workers comp case

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I only received therapy that did not work; I still have pain in my right finger and forearm. I only see a doctor who asks me how I'm doing.

My attorney came back and stated that the insurance adjuster was offering $10,000, then increased it to $15,000. We agreed and I was told I had to wait 30 days for the settlement documents since the beginning of November. Now, they are saying there is no time frame for when these documents will arrive. There was a scheduled hearing on November 25, which got canceled.

I found out about the cancellation through the EAMS website for case information.

However, when I called my attorney, the secretary lied to me by saying that the attorney had not put in any notes based on the hearing and to call later for an update. I will be reporting them to the state bar for misrepresentation and lying.

Just AWEFULL !!!!

Ongoing case for years ,The same as most complaints .They are not easy to get a hold of. You never get to talk to an actual attorney .They send contract attorneys out that really do not know your case .

They just didn't represent me the way it should of been .I am still hurt after years and it looks like more years can go buy.Meanwhile i am broke and i cant do the work i use to .Getting to see an AME took about 3 years . Once this case gets resolved you will see it posted on ripoffreport along with the many others .

You will not get answers or times but you will be told that YOU must call back every 2 weeks to talk to the aides . After 30 calls over the years its useless .

PLBSM

I hired this firm in May of 2011 and was very thorough in filling out the inquiry form letting them know about my Worker Comp Claim. I even spoke with an intake worker.

They accepted my case after I had parted ways with prior attornies for communication issues and for being ignored regarding some mishaps that were written in the AME report that could have an adverse affect on my case. I wrote several of letters to this firm regarding relevant matters and there was no response. On July 13, 2011 I was scheduled for court and made the attorney firm aware that I would attend. I attended court on this day early with a family memnber and no one showed up for me, because my name was never called.

I wasted fifteen dollars that I never received back and called the firm again that day by lunch time when no one showed up for me. I was later connected to Attorney Schwartz who claimed he called my name, when if he called my name myself or my family member would have heard him, didn't call my name. I saw attorney's walking in and out calling clients names and had even seen some of the attorney's from my firm because I looked on the website at their pictures and I was told when I called the first time that someone would be calling my name from their firm. It never happened and a whole day was wasted and I never got an apology from that attorney.

I wrote a letter about this incident. I stayed with the firm and had never met my attorney, when I hired the firm I made them aware that since my case had been going since 2004 that I had a treating Doctor and pain management Doctor. I only wanted this firm to fix and address the AME report that was asked to be fixed in 2009 by the prior attorney who never fixed it, although he was aware that the information was detrimental to my claim. I had never met the attorney of this firm but signed on based off of what I read on their website and a courier came to my home and this was how they became my attorneys.

After my relevant letters were ignored by them regarding my case, I finally after 1 year and 3 months was finally able to meet my attorney on 9-7-2012, but prior to that I had to deal with a rude Michael that worked for this firm basically trying to give me a hard time getting an appointment with the attorney Jerry Chang. When I finally met Jerry Chang on 9-7-2012 he seemed to be a pleasant person and he answered my relevant questions that I had wanted to know the answers to over a year ago. He claimed that he had written to the AME Doctor to get the mishaps fixed and we discussed some more pertinent issues. I get a letter today 9-15-2012 from the firm letting me know that they want to dismiss me and for me to sign a dismissal because they determined it wouldn't be economically feasible to continue it's prosecution of the worker compensation case.

This information wasn't told to me on September 7, 2012 and I'm very upset because I had also made Jerry Chang aware that I have an epidural coming up for the issues I have with my body part that was injured. They also sent me to their Doctor when I signed on which was outside of the MPN although I made them aware I had my own Doctors that I had been with since 2004 and I wasn't aware what an MPN was until I received a letter from the insurance company telling me not to go back because it wasn't authorized so I was scared I was going to get a bill and didn't go back after receiving the letter and finally being able to talk to one of the representatives at PLBSM which was o.k. with me going back to my Doctors and I'm still not clear about what and MPN means. I'm not signing off on the case for dismissal because I have a real injury and my case is being mishandled and they should have never picked it up, if they were just going to waste a year doing nothing.

I don't like to be lied too at all and this case has been very difficult especially with the treatment you get from people. I'm not going to just lay down and take abuse.

I'm turning them into the bar because I fired them approximately over a year ago and don't understand why when Jerry Chang was supposed to be representing me he wasn't responding and now all of a sudden I see Sean Vargas name on my paperwork today after the fact that I had already signed the minutes when I've been in pro per for over a year. He wasn't there for me, so why is his name on the minutes.

Corruption at its sneakiest. I want you to know when you lie and take advantage of people, God will step in and I believe that whole heartedly, your not bigger than my God.

Guest

Yes the people who answer the phone are rude impersonal...I've been trying to get my case resolved for 7years sometimes waiting on the phone for 30minutes

I went for a deposition, I had to laugh when insurance co offered 7,500.00 to settle. I am sure the insurance co.

now realizes they are totally liable. And bound by California law not MA.

Original review Feb 26, 2012

I answered an add thinking I will get this guy to fight for me "I'll fight for you" got passed off to a low rate do nothings in my workers comp case so mishandled the insurance obviously does not even know I have a lawyer. I had to send my copy of WC temp benefits denial to one of the people that run interference for them.

I am 4 months into my case without a word and not 1 thin dime have i received in temp benefits.

I am scheduled to take a epidural Monday so I can work because I am next to being homeless. I am being forced through no representation back to work hurt or become homeless.

I have had the same treatment from this "Law Firm" ! I have had them supposedly working on my case since Feb 2013 I have recived a letter from the workers comp insurance stating that I needed to pick a doctor from the MPN I notified the "Law Firm" and they said they were looking into which medical provider I should go to within the network that I should continue to see their doctor until they find one .

I was unaware that the insurance had accepted my claim at this time so I continue to see their doctor and stay on state disability which I feel I should be getting workers comp benifits. I went to a deposition hearing and didn't even have an attorney it was his assistant,I have never even spoke to my attorney ever it's always his assistant I'm supposed to see a AME doctor in a couple of weeks I feel as though the firm has done a poor job in representing me . I just received a letter from insurance company and it stated if I didn't pick a doctor that they will deny all the current doctor I have information on my case and will expedite a hearing with the WCAB .

I called the "Law Firm" and told them this and they asked me to fax them a copy so I did then I get a call from the attorney's assistant and they said give them another coue weeks to find a doctor I have given them six months I don't know what else to do I wish I would of never hired this firm they do nothing for you in my opinion. I'm very frustrated I could of kept my home if I had my benifits back in June but they never followed through findings an MPN doctor so I am getting pennies from the state that I am greatful to get !

What does it take to get a class action lawsuit against PLMBS. I had this law firm for three years and they did nothing; I was forced to move out of state because of them.

I had a QME report that clearly stated I wad not P&S and they told me he was not clear enough and the lawyer refused to talk to me until he gets a new QME report. After I got a new report he still didn't talk to me.

That was the last straw; I got a new lawyer and things started to move faster, now they want to put a lien on my settlement. If someone is trying to file a lawsuit they need to do it fast so I can get on board.

WTF IS GOING ON HERE.AM I DREAMING ?? IS IT YEAR 1913 ?

It took separate counsel of 4 sponsors of the 2012 Olympics to get the attention/response of this firm Long Beach PBLSM aka Larry H. Parker worker comp firm to release their injured worker client, the Mother of a Long Beach Olympian, with a waiver of past, present, and future fees.

The malpractice in this case is common to many others stuck in the grasp of PBLSM. Feel free to mention this fact, the fact of "the Olympians Mother" and you may find yourself with an easier, if you will, firing of this firm.

Does Rosenthal actully have an attorney? Theres alot involved with getting a class for the class action afirmed by the court in the first place, let alone, get an attorney to take these cases on.

I have been folowing this Rosenthal person on several sites and don't see progress.

If I am wrong, please advise. Otherwise you are keeping people from seeking their own malpractice suits relying on Rosenthal.

Guest

I too hired this firm,,,never was in contact with them and they even sent me to dr.s not recomended by w/c laws,,they asked me to sign a dismissal of attorney stating its not "economically feasble" to further my case. when i called Mr.Mendoza he screamed for me to sign form then hung up on me!

my case is 1 1/2 yrs old and theyve done nothing theyve managed to cancell all my hearings to further it along,,,and never notified me of anything..i have since sent a request for them by certified mail,,to release my case and they wont even do that..these people shouldnt be allowed to MILL" scared people into horrible deadends just to get help w other att. to finish the job!!!
