I am incredibly fortunate to be represented by Dennis Popalardo and his staff. It’s been a difficult journey but his willingness to advocate for me and to stay in constant communication with me has helped me endure the pain of multiple surgeries and the frustration of a worker’s comp system which appears to be more focused on preventing fraudulent claims than the health of the injured employee. I am incredibly lucky to be represented by Dennis. His integrity, honesty and professionalism has been greatly appreciated and I would highly recommend his representation and have referred many injured employees to him.

They are the best! Made sure I was treated properly at work after I was injured. Also got me a settlement to help ease all the discomforts that come an industrial injury. Thank you very much Mr. Arnold.

Ralph Mann of Boxer Gerson has represented (????) me for almost 10 years. I interviewed with/hired him due to a work injury requiring neck surgery in 2007. He advised he required the higher percentage end of what they required for fees because "he was that good". Really--not true. Over 9 yrs later, I have no resolution and can't even get Ralph Mann (who has since moved into a 'partner' position so no one else within Boxer Gerson will talk to you) to even return my calls to discuss my case. The corporation I worked for ended Worker's Comp payments that Ralph Mann had secured for me after two years -when I contacted Ralph Mann regarding this issue, he advised me that I needed to contact a WC Attny. WHAT?!?! Isn't that what you proclaimed you were when I signed on the dotted line??!! That was a approx 5 years ago. There was a scheduled court date with a new judge (the one with my case for 9 yrs retired) for December 2018 to require the defendants (Chevron Corp) to provide discovery. Page two is a request to cancel the court date as Ralph Mann of Boxer Gerson was in settlement discussions with the defendants. I called asking for a return call to explain to me why page one of court papers is requesting the defendants provide discovery & page two says cancel court date as Ralph Mann is involved in a proposed settlement agreement regarding my injury. My court date was cancelled without any discussion with me. That was mid December 2018. It is now over 5 months later--I have called & emailed asking Ralph Mann to contact me to discuss this 'proposed' settlement & the status of my case--he has not. I did however receive an email advising he could not go forward with settlement discussions (that I have not been advised of) without certain information that he/ his assistant had requested in December 2018. I resent to him with copies showing most had been sent to his assistant as requested in mid December 2018 nd final items sent 1/03/2019. His response 'she must have been on vacation & didn't notice'. REALLY! But 3 months later you are telling me it's my fault! Now it's mid May, I can't get Ralph Mann (now a managing partner) of Boxer Gerson to return a call I placed two months ago & another today to call me re the status of my case. If you check online they say 'don't expect a quick resolution, Workers Comp cases could take up to two years'. Really--I'm at 9.5 yrs, I have no idea what is going on with my case, Ralph Mann cancels court dates without any discussion with me (HIS CLIENT), & I can't get him to return a phone call. He advised me a year ago to send him an email & he would respond promptly....tried that nd got NO response to my questions. This is my experience with Ralph Mann AND Boxer Gerson. At this moment I am seeking different counsel--why? Because I don't have counsel with Ralph Mann & Boxer Gerson.

After an accident at work that was not my fault I had to seek out an attorney to get the best medical treatment I could to recover and my employer all of a sudden took a very negative attitude towards me and the situation. This was new to me and I found Justin Litvack at Boxer and Gerson through this website. He is a specialist in his field and he completely turned things around in my case. His assistant Christina Martinez is amazing and without them I would not have been able to get the surgeries needed and keep my employer at bay so I could concentrate on healing. I strongly recommend Justin and his team to anyone needing assistance with a worker's compensation claim, he will take the confusion and stress out of the situation for you and insure you get the medical treatment you need not to mention a very fair settlement at the end. Thank you Justin and Christina !

I was Represented by this Law Firm on a Stress Related Case. My Attorney Dikla Dolev was simply the best. She listen she advised me and most of all she believed in me. She went to work on my behalf she was my Voice. I Thank You Dikla again for all of your hard work and most of all being diligent in your representation on my case.

Represented by Justin Litvack, recieved a fair and favorable settlment, office kept me informed during the entire process, office appointments were prompt. Justin always informed and educated me of my options and the process, he consistentry advoacted what was best for me in the longterm, was very satisfied even with the fact that I was injured. Commuting from San Francisco made it easy using Bart to 12th St.

This is the Worse Law (?) Firm to represent an injured worker!!!! They do NOT try to help the injured worked, instead they try to make a "best deal", which in reality benefits them. They do not review the injured worker's medical records & look for the best possible treatment for the injured worker as they go thru the process. They will even sign court orders without your approval, even forge your signature without you being aware. This is done by them NOT informing you the injured worker of what is actually being done, and using a judge in the courthouse (Judge Stanley Shields) & who previously was employed at Boxer/Gerson Law and discusses your case with the Judge & opposing attorney. That is a conflict of interest of law & breaks the Client/Attorney confidentiality. Also, as you try to contact your representing attorney there, they will NOT respond to you as they try to have your case removed/closed. They have, "approx. 350 cases per attorney" and "do not make enough money" as stated by this Judge Stanly Shields, which he added "that is why I became a judge, for more money". He actually said this in court (remember, he was previously employed at Boxer/Gerson Law). (The attorney I originally talked to was Mike Gerson, he sarcastically stated he was too busy and 'pushed' me off to a "junior attorney partner", Bert Arnold). If you ask for specific copies of anything, they do not give it to you. If you try to bring up an unsatisfied matter you have with them, then they threaten to quit your case. Try to discuss this with their 'Managing Attorney Partner' John Harrigan, he will give it to someone else to avoid/ignore your concerns of representation. If you have a significant complaint, such as your representing attorney signing a court order without your knowledge/approval, they threaten you, the client, with statements of, "you know this is Senator Barbra's Boxer's husband's law firm & your complaints could cause your case trouble", or with their threats of, "you don't want to piss off any Judge, because he will not let your case go your way", this coming from the people in that law firm directly assisting the attorneys. How can any law firm say threats & more as that? We are the injured worker, trying to go back to work and they threaten us?! My case is 16 years old, I am much worse than when my injury occurred. Multiple times I have repeated to Boxer/Gerson Law our actual rights per law of what we are entitled to. But this law firm is only looking out for themselves and NOT the worker. Remember you, the injured worker are the employer here, & your representing attorney is the employee within your case, YOU are the boss, decisions are yours to make, NOT your representing attorney's. There is so much more they have unlawfully done, there is not enough room to write it. Remember to fight for your rights especially if you have a law firm as this Boxer/Gerson representing you. You can refer to CA state Bar, (complaints about lawyers), the CA dept of insurance, OSHA for records inquiring about your work injury, CA Labor Board, the overseeing Judges (Judge Lam in Oakland courthouse), the top Judge overseeing all CA Work Comp; (Judge Richard Newman), the ACLU, and further up to the Governor of CA. The Boxer/Gerson Law firm may threaten you and/or even laugh at you (as they unprofessionally did to me). I am pursuing my rights as an injured worker, and pursuing cases against the state of CA dept of industrial relations, Work Comp Dept. etc. for negative actions of a Judge (Stanly Shields, & a judge Estrin now retired) and against Boxer/Gerson Law firm, but it's hard when the attorney's will not give me, the injured worker, my own file copies and/or refuse to return my files. Too much is happening to injured workers as this type of law is easy for representing attorneys to 'dropout' which causes the clients deprived medical attention or help for their family, etc. Do NOT have this Boxer/Gerson law firm represent you, especially if your injury is very serious.
