I highly recommend the law firm of Fine, Olin & Anderman—especially attorney Howard Lipman. Howard is very professional and responsive. He keeps me informed and patiently explains the process of my case very clearly. This helps me to understand what’s going on and makes me feel comfortable. At a recent hearing Howard accomplished everything he requested on my behalf. I am so appreciative to have someone in my corner fighting for me during a time of need. His expertise and personal demeanor make him a fantastic attorney. I am extremely satisfied with the services provided by FOA and especially by my attorney Howard Lipman. Thank you for all of your help so far. I have no doubt that my case is in good hands!

My experience with the attorney that is assigned to my workers comp case has been a total disaster. She is out of Newburgh. This attorney has refused to make phone calls and rectify the workers comp mess ( the appeal got denied to have my right shoulder surgery) and a falsified IME Report. I had to make the phone calls, write the board and force this horrible insurance company to tell me what was going on and why a second IME was scheduled, then cancelled.The excuse was the case is in litigation. I did her job! The outcome is the IME doctor is being investigated! In addition my left arm there is swelling around 2 of the surgery anchors because of the overcompensation and I’m being sent to an IME dr that is a knee surgeon. The right arm My private insurance approved the surgery and now their billing company is involved. I sent them a lovely care package of 3 lbs with the NCA Comp disaster and my medical reports! The attorney quit on September 4th because she wasn’t listening or comprehending to the situations or doing her job! The emails that I have prove it!! Then she was supposed get a new attorney on my case. That didn’t happen as of yet and it probably won’t! Which I do not care because I’m stuck taking care of the mess that SHE IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR! I shouldn’t have had to advocate for my self! She also called my doctor a pompous ass while speaking to me on the phone back in April. If she thought that I wasn’t going to tell him or his office staff. She was sorely mistaken! Then she said she was offended that I made her call him because he was beyond livid with the injury to my right shoulder getting worse. I have never had a more unprofessional and arrogant attorney who insulted my intelligence and injuries!!! It’s absolutely disgusting! Currently , I received a letter from my private insurance company. I filled it out and not only did I submit the letter but the records from workers comp which were an appeal denial a fraudulent IME from two years ago, a cancelled IME, and an IME that they had me seeing a knee surgeon for my shoulder( I wound up not going because I cancelled it because I had to work and we were short staffed) Nobody called me back from Genex to reschedule! But I have decided that I have nothing to prove especially when the workers comp insurance caused my right shoulder to become worse and caused an overcompensation injury. In addition, the hippa forms that I signed for my orthopedic dr that did the surgery on my left shoulder in 2021 were voided! So if I went to the IME, that drs wouldn’t have had my records to begin with! My private insurance company also had 65 pages of my medical records for my right arm and the left overcompensation records and the surgical report! Furthermore, not only did my private insurance company say that workers comp insurance is responsible but so did the anesthesia billing company! Now I have to wait 30 days if not longer to see what they decided because I submitted over 100 pages with post it’s explaining the mess! Update: My medical records were obtained through a voided HIPPA Release that was voided on September 16th after the attorney quit the case! The hospital received that Hippa release on October 2nd. It was obtained by the other attorneys on October 22nd! The hospital already knows and so does the Workers Com Board. Denied that the Hippa release was voided ( I have the email) and she also never notified the board that she was no longer the attorney. I told the board it’s not my problem that she didn’t notify anyone! The incompetence is astounding and now I’m stuck fixing everything she screwed up on! If I could give negative stars I would!

I’m very frustrated with my attorney. She a sell out to the defendant. I was beaten so badly in an exam were my face was swollen unrecognizable, in & out of consciousness, spent 3 months going to rehab to learn how to speak, suffering from PTSD, post concussion syndrome, tinnitus & facial pain. My attorney seems somewhat wanting to sellout my case for $25,000 settlement with the defendant Selective Insurance.

This firm was attentive to my needs and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. I would definitely seek their service again.

Emily (and Paul, when he worked at FOA) are advocates on my behalf. They answer any questions I have in a timely manner and make sure to bring the specifics of my case to the WCB.

Very reliable, very helpful, great with communication and dealing with the issues that arise. Emily is wonderful at getting things done!!
