If you want to receive a medical bill LONG after your case is closed, go with Neal Gainsberg…read more I told Neal several times that my concern was to NOT have any providers asking for payment AFTER the settlement was disbursed and case closed. Meaning, I wanted ALL PROVIDERS to be paid BEFORE any disbursements of funds to me OR Neal. Sound reasonable, right? YET, I received a bill in the mail for a medical expense long after my case closed. I submitted the SAME BILL to Neal for payment months before my case closed. So, he was aware of the bill. I was very thorough with my bills and paperwork. And talking/dealing with Neal was worse than my accident. He's arrogant, condescending and downright rude. I hated having to talk to him. Even e-mailing was unpleasant. Why didn't I just seek other representation? Because, I would've had to pay this dude for the so called time he allegedly spent on my case. Don't buy the nice guy energy when you first talk to him, as that is his representative and you will see the REAL person soon enough. Nasty, haughty, patronizing. Just unpleasant and unlikable. I was glad when my case closed, so I would not have to interact with this guy anymore. 9/25/2020 The e-mail Neal Gainsberg noted in his response that I sent to him is listed below, as well as his response to me asking him about the unpaid bill, which I sent to Neal on January 14, 2020. Not once in his reply to me regarding the unpaid bill, did Neal accept blame and offer to pay a portion of the bill. And regarding "personal attacks", Neal was very rude and condescending in his tone with me. No lie has been told regarding my assessment of his character and behavior. 9/15/2020 "My point, which you're attempting to dance around, is all medical expenses should have been paid before any disbursements were made to me OR you. How many of your clients receive medical bills after their case is settled and closed??? That's okay, I will pay the bill. I really didn't want to reach out to you about this foolishness, because I regretted hiring you the minute that I saw your nice guy persona was nothing but a bait and switch. An act.. Typical of certain ilks. Your rudeness and condescending attitude did not go unnoticed and I was thankful to put this matter behind me, so I would not have to interact with you any longer. Dealing with your smugness and arrogance was worse than my accident. Then, to see your sloppy handling of my case left an unpaid medical bill long after the case is closed. Clearly more attention and concern would've been paid had my accident resulted in long term and lasting injuries. Thankfully that wasn't the case. Even more thankful that you couldn't make more money from my misfortune. No need to respond, because I do not care what you have to say." 9/15/2020 Neal Gainsberg response to my inquiry regarding the unpaid bill. "Tina, My records show that BCBSH paid this provider. Is this patient portion. I wasn't aware of this." His e-mail above is a lie, because I have records that show Neal was informed of the bill on January 14, 2020. There was no mention in Neal's e-mail regarding rectifying his inadequate representation that left me with an unpaid medical bill, yet Neal pretends in his response to my Yelp review that he was planning to remedy his oversight. Do not buy the charade..

Dear Aaron, I wanted…read moreto personally thank you for everything you did for me. When I came to you, I was exhausted, discouraged, and had almost completely lost faith in the legal process due to my prior experience. After nearly two years of inaction from my former attorney, I truly believed there was nothing that could be done. What you accomplished in the final 24 hours was nothing short of remarkable. Your ability to quickly understand the case, focus on the details, and take decisive action completely changed the outcome. Because of you, I won my case--something I never thought was possible at that point. Beyond your legal skill, what meant the most to me was how you treated me as a person. Your attentiveness, careful approach, and even your sense of humor helped me stay grounded during one of the most stressful moments of my life. When I heard the result, my hands and my heart were shaking uncontrollably. That moment will stay with me forever. Thank you for stepping in when it mattered most and for giving me hope when I had almost none left. I will always be deeply grateful and will never forget what you did for me. With sincere thanks, Hongxia Chen

Communication was extremely limited, and for over a year I was not kept informed about the status of my case. I would have appreciated more consistent updates and clearer guidance throughout the process. In the few interactions I had with Mark, I found the communication to be unprofessional, rushed and responses often felt dismissive. He was very unfriendly during these interactions, and, not to mention, he was late to the two phone calls I had with him. I had to ask Mark to stop representing my case. After multiple follow-ups, I eventually received the attorney withdrawal documentation, but the delay added unnecessary stress to an already difficult situation. While this may not reflect every experience with the firm, based on my own, I would not recommend their services. I hope this feedback is taken constructively so future clients receive better communication and support.

Horwitz and Horwitz helped me get a small settlement after a car accident. It took a while, and the…read morewoman at Hortwitz who communicated with me was not too bright, slow to respond, not very helpful, and sort of insulting at times, but overall, it is what it is. I had neck and back injuries but nothing that required immediate surgery. I did negotiate with the lady to ask for more payout, and she got me a few hundred more than she originally offered. I thought that was curious, as I thought they negotiate the highest amount with the other party, not me negotiating with them to get more. She also let me know my case was not important enough that they'd consider taking it to trial (which they say they do with every case, so...that's not true, obviously...course perception is everything so I guess that other companies may think it's true). I think, depending on your case/injury, you may get more service and brighter people communicating with you. The initial secretary who took my info was great, offered lots of helpful info, and what they send you to sign is impressive. I don't have any complaints, because I've never sued a company before and have no idea what is the norm--esp when they are not billing me unless they win. Seemed okay, because all I did was really not much, paid nothing, and I got something. Interesting thing was State Farm immediately raised my car rates a lot after that --coincidence? hmmmm. Not sure. But, like I said, I was only communicating with a cog (secretary) at their firm. When I would try to go higher to get more answers and guidance, there did not seem to be a way to do that. Apparently, my case was peanuts for them. So, I did not interact with a lawyer at any time. I think I could have used more guidance, so keep in mind this is a huge law firm, and the lawyers are not intersecting directly with clients, by and large.

After thinking about this, I am the one who continues to suffer and though I don't usually write reviews, I felt that I needed to tell my story. My attorney seemed kind in the beginning, and I felt strongly that I was in good hands, but as time went on, it changed. I was treated disrespectfully, and I felt that my settlement was unjust for the multiple surgeries and degree of suffering I went through, and I still am in pain every day and still in therapy. I have had regular follow up appointments at my orthopedic doctors. I have CRPS and recently this year that are recommending that Rush pain center implanting a pain pump may help. I am 69 years old and this is now what I excepted and no longer to handle all of these doctor bills. had a very renowned orthopedic surgeon, and he knew that I was badly injured and he expressed that I am a good and honest person and told everyone just that. I was a volunteer for St. Vincent DePaul and now I can no longer do what I love to help my church and community. I was treated disrespectfully with no compassion despite that was a very stressful day for and I cried all the way home the day of my arbitration. I often can't sleep at night because of my pain, and it just bring this injustice to mind and makes things worse. My life was drastically impacted by my accident, and my lawyer treated me like he was representing the defendant. I am not deleting my review. I feel the need to tell the truth because I am the one who's life was changed by this accident. I felt that my settlement was grossly unfair and was far less that what he initially told me my case was worth. I was given false information. He said "If we don't settle now, I have to go back and write a 15-page summary of some sort for the judge" with a sigh. He seemed more concerned with recovering the firm's expenses than what my life would be like going forward. I write this for personal closure and hopefully help others.

Receptionists Sara, Rosie, Bernice, and Tammy are also consistently kind and helpful and not rude.

Attorney Lauren Harris also called me after 5 pm like Attorney Laura Gaden Apostol has as well. The lawyers and receptionists who are terribly rude and uncaring take it down several stars, so I had to subtract at least 1 star unfortunately due to them.

Nobody will give me an answer as to why I was canceled. I called Legal Shield twice and eventually talked to management and still did not get an answer. One customer service rep told me that he's not supposed to say anything, but more than likely the attorney had me banned. She and I had a normal conversation in a normal tone of voice. I don't know if she violated my confidentiality based on my question and I've been told I'm not allowed to speak to her to find out what she said. This was a very minor legal question and not anything related to criminal proceedings. It was regarding a lawsuit.
