Law Offices of Goldschmid Silver & Spindel

Avoid this sack of garbage at all costs, I will suffer for the rest of my life because this low life scum wanted to get done with my case after he was paid off by my personal injury lawyer and just sold me out. Avoid Avoid Avoid.

I wish there were more stars to give, I found myself in a very tough battle and unjust case against my former employer, I was afraid, confused and hopeless. Mr. Larry Silver took my case and fought for me like my guardian angel, I was amazingly surprised at how quickly he understood my case, Mr. Larry Silver told me exactly what to expect, I got his support all through the process, he is honest, professional, and in spite of his busy schedule, he will at times personally respond to my calls on weekends, If I ever found myself leaving a message, my calls or emails were answered in a timely manner. I really got the feeling that I was his most important client. Mr. Larry Silver’s staff and specifically Yvette are outstanding as well, always courteous and friendly, highly efficient and knowledgeable. Mr. Larry Silver settled my case beyond my expectation. I highly recommend him to anyone who is going through a tough time with your Employer or Lawyer. Mr. Larry Silver will fight for you.

Professional, Personable, Knowledgeable, Friendly, Prompt Service. I could go on about this law firm and Vernon Goldschmid Atty. He and his assistant, Odette can’t be beat.
I highly recommend them when you’re in need of the services they provide. If there were 10 stars it still would not be enough. They will always have my recommendation. Thank you.

As a Fire Captain in Southern California I am no stranger to on the job injuries these past 31 years of service. Mr. Silver has managed my work comp claims each and every time I’ve been injured, navigating both the process and ever changing laws in California with knowledge and skill most can’t compare to. Typically, this profession waits until the client is retiring to get involved, creating years of delay in the retirement process. However, Mr. Silver continues to prepare my file to prepare me for the day I choose to call it quits. I’m thankful to have him on my team and I am certain I’m in great hands as i approach retirement. Don’t wait until you’re an «old guy» and about ready to retire, you never know when your last day of service might be.

I have been a client of Lawrence Silver regarding a Workers Comp case for approximately 15 years. I would highly recommend Mr. Silver to anyone, and he has to be the top rated attorney in this field.
Mr. Silver is not only knowledgeable about every detail and fact in Workers Comp Law, but he is extremely kind and personable. I don’t think, I can say enough great things about him!

When I first consulted with Mr. Silver, I had no real hope that I would prevail in this case. He assured me that he would work hard on my behalf and he kept his word. After nearly seven years, we have finally reached a verbal agreement that presumably will soon be solidified by a written agreement and a check! People have complained that he doesn’t return calls. Maybe that’s true. I don’t know, because I never called him. From time to time, either he or his assistant would contact me with an update or an invitation to come into the office to discuss progress in my case. Leave him alone and let him do his job. He is highly skilled and compassionate. He’s not a hotshot. He doesn’t need to be.

I wish I could give Vernon Goldschmid 10 STARS! Hands down, best attorney for your work comp needs. My case was ongoing for a few years. Vern and his legal assistant Odette literally held my hand through the entire nightmare. When I had questions they were able to communicate to me what was going on so I understood. In the end, after all the aftermath of being in pain, surgeries, etc. I truly was satisfied and happy that I went to Vern. He went above and beyond to get me the most he could. Thank You Vern and Odette!

As one of the top 5 Work Comp Attorneys in California, I am honored to recommend Lawrence Silver, Esq. as a beacon of Light in the Work Comp world. He is extremely experienced, caring, and knowledgable about Work Comp Law, as well as Health Care Providers.
In January of this year Mr. Silver successfully concluded negotiations for a 31-​year old intricate Work Comp case for me with the California Insurance Guarantee Association, and guided me skillfully through the complicated Medicare Set Aside procedures, the Annuity Structured Settlements and Lump Sum Settlement processes.
He not only is exceptionally skilled in negotiations, but also knows the best medical practitioners and sent me to a brilliant primary treating physician who gave me great treatment and referrals since 2003. It was only after that physician closed his offices that I requested to settle my case, as I was approaching my 65^th year and wanted to transition to Medicare.
I feel very blessed to have Mr. Silver continue to represent me, and will always be very grateful to him for the lifetime annuities he procured on my behalf and the financial and medical protection he has negotiated for me in my senior years to allow me to make that transition successfully happen. Thank you Mr. Silver for all your care, support, and expertise. You are the best attorney in my book!
PS: I was referred to Mr. Silver by another esteemed attorney who was asked to take over the files of my second attorney who had died suddenly (and after my first attorney retired). 3 other attorneys were also recommended at the same time, but only Mr. Silver offered to take my complex case, and I am so very glad he did!

I was lost in the wasteland of the Workers Compensation system until I contacted Attorney Silver’s office. They got my case back on track and assisted me in obtaining the treatment and legal rights I needed. My case is still pending but I am comforted in knowing that Attorney Silver and his staff are watching out for me :)

Mr Silver is the best!!! My husband suffered a very complex and catastrophic work related injury. Mr. Silver has gone above and beyond to make sure my husband receives the much needed care and compensation. His expertise is immeasurable. I hate to think of where our family would be without
Mr. Silver’s persistence, expertise and patience. Our family can not thank him enough for the immense amount of help he has given us and we will be forever grateful for his life changing services.

Ms Agatstein helped me get medical treatment when no on else would. She went to court and fought for me. She got me the surgery i needed. Finally she argued to get me my job back.

No need to look further, you’ve found the best representation with this firm. They are experts in their field and know how to advise you and any concerns. I trust their advise and refer to them (Lawerence Silver) for all when there are any questions about workers comp claims and how to handle it. They are expert, professional and honest. You won’t find anyone better.

Mr. Silver represented me for several years. He got a very large settlement for me. His staff was very courteous. He exhibited nothing but the highest degree of professionalism. I was very satisfied with him.

Worst lawfirm dragged my case for seven years. They told me they will fight for my wrongful termination when they fired me while I was on work men’s compensation but later Larry Silver said its a waste of his time. They are a complete joke and a waste of people’s time and health. Larry Silver think his shit doesn’t stink he is extremely rude. His office will never call you back good luck on that. I would have had a better outcome if I represented myself. He made me settle because I was told if I don’t settle it would take another 3 years.

OMG! So Goldschmid saw my first 2 reviews on here and instead of being a big boy and trying to correct his legal assistants terrible service or even looking at his own behavior, he sent me a letter dropping me as a client. He didn’t call me or anything, just sent a letter. Makes me think of the COWARDLY lion from Wizard of Oz… Actually, I didn’t find out from the attorney’s office that I was dropped, I found out from the doctor that he referred me to just days before. They called me and told me that I was no longer being represented and they couldn’t see me. When I called Odette, she just tried to talk me in circles and pretended to not know what was going on. She kept saying, «I told you that the attorney was sending you a letter…» I replied, «What does that mean to me? Is it a letter with a million dollar check???» Then she said, I’ll email it to you, what’s your email address?” Again, I gave it to her, although she should have had it because I had been emailing her for weeks with NO RESPONSE. For all you Unilocalers, this reminds me of a an episode of Kitchen Nightmares where the owner of Hamburger Kitchen would email the reviewers and tell them they were wrong. I DO NOT RECOMMEND Vernon Goldschmid, I have not had a good experience with him and he has a poor attitude. Same goes for Odette Polanco, his legal assistant. Again, read my previous reviews and you’ll see that I would have better service from Cletus, the slack-​jawed yokel.
