They do not call you back.

It's okay. I found it weird that they accused me of not telling them about text messages I sent when I gave them that on the first visit along with the emails between me and my former employer. Then to find out that they never had any of my medical records after my case was closed. I felt like I was pushed into settling my case for a meager sum. They are really hard to get ahold of as well. If I was in a better state of mind I would have pushed back but I didn't. Always speak up if you're not feeling comfortable with how things are going. I signed paperwork that I didn't agree with at once I was able to read it. My lawyer would supposedly summarize what it said but it wasn't true. I did spot something I didn't agree with and told him but I didn't get a response. I don't think my lawyer cared at all what I wanted. It wasn't ever discussed either. I give it three stars because it is my fault for not speaking up. It's my biggest weakness.

Update: Not once did I ever say I wanted to settle. David told me during our meet that we are going to settle the case today. I was upset but he’s the lawyer so I followed his directions. I lost a huge portion of income being on SSDI and you seriously think I would settle for a drop in the bucket? I expressed fully what I wanted with one of the girls and yet that never happened. My life is forever altered and you think I wanted to settle. I came fully prepared that day to just answer the defenses questions with no intention or thought of offering any settlement. I’m seriously heated that you guys would say that.

I have never posted about a company before but after reading one of the reviews I thought I should.

I didn’t have a lawyer when I got hurt on a job site (construction - mostly the demolition side) and looked up lawyers near me. Honestly I initially chose Silberman and Lam because they were one of the first that popped up and were close. I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else. My case was probably VERY small but they didn’t hesitate to talk to me. After initially going in to the office, I talked to Sheryl on the phone then she came up (from Orange County) to meet with me 2 days later after already starting on my case. The settlement was more than I thought it would be AND they got all of my rehab, doc visits, follow-up etc. covered as well. Probably won’t be doing demo anymore but still in the construction biz! Thanks Sheryl!!!

Don’t hesitate to go in or call and talk to someone. Were not to busy for me and I had a great experience with them. After first talking to Sheryl the anxiety about my issue already started to go away and it never came back.

12/05/17: This law firm is absolutely rude and unhelpful. My wife and I went to the Visalia office for a consultation appointment (which doesn't actually staff a lawyer btw but instead a single legal assistant) and told our story and provided paperwork. We were told that our case might not be big enough for them to bother with but she made copies of everything and took notes and told us she would pass this information to an associate in the firm and he would go over it and contact us and let us know what he thinks. 4 days later a guy calls and basically knows nothing and asks us to tell everything all over again but half way through explaining he interrupts and says "hold on" and throws us on hold, 5 minutes later he returns with no apology and says continue only to be interrupted again with "I got to go, i will review this and get back to you" and he immediately hung up. That was 2 weeks ago and nothing.

Edit 12/26/17: Now this law firm has accepted a case against my family business for an employee with a much sketchier injury claim. My wife had a legitimate issue and just needed help making things right and we were treated terribly, now they took a worse case against me maybe even because of this review.
