I have nothing but high praises for Mr. Silver.. I am 23 years old and I’ve been suffering with a spinal injury that I got as a result of an incident at work for over a year now. Over the course of my Injury, I’ve had many complications with my employers Workers Comp insurance company  and aside from the immense stress and pain I had from my injury, I was extremley stressed and frustrated that workers Comp was not doing it’s job in helping me recieve care for months, and would ignore every email and phone call I sent them. This left me without any medical care from December 2019- June 2020 during the Covid pandemic, which only worsened my injury. As a 23 year old girl, I should not have a spinal injury that has drastically effected the quality of my life. I then was referred to Mr. Larry Silver , and he has been the biggest god-send. Other lawyers I approached wouldn’t take my case as they only cared about the money in it for them, but Mr. Silver accepted my case right after the first phone call because he truly wanted to help me get justice and get the medical care I needed. Mr. Silver truly lifted the burden of fighting with the Workers Comp insurance for me which allowed me time to focus on healing. I can not thank him enough for everything he’s done for me. Mr. Silver  won my case in court for me, and fought hard to make sure I was given what I deserved. Thank you so so so much Mr. Silver, without you I am not sure how I would still be trying to deal with the Workers Comp insurance and their negligence. You’ve lifted a great weight off my shoulders and really did a huge kindness for me, when no other lawyer would. I highly reccomend Mr. Silver for any case that you need counsel for. He is truly the best!!!

I can't speak to Mike B's experience, but if Mr. Silver gets his fee (even if it is all that he cares about as Mike says), it means that he got his client a settlement. That's kind of how it works when you're not paying an attorney out of pocket. He only gets his fee if you win. Otherwise, where do you think his fee comes from if you're not paying him? Not only have I experienced Mr. Silver as being caring and compassionate, I experienced him as being very diligent in staying with my rather challenging case.

Mr. Silver is one of the best attorneys in L.A. and is so knowledgeable he will fight for you and for what is right.

This law office is one of the best. Mr. Silver and all the people that work there are amazing. Workers compensation is very hard to understand and sometimes seems unfair. Mr. Silver is a top lawyer in L.A. and knows the law inside and out. There are many things to take into consideration on a workers compensation case but just know that you are in good hands with Mr. Silver. He will be there for you and find the best outcome by law for your case.

I would like to advise all potential clients to look no further. Mr. Silver is the best Attorney in Los Angles he represented me in my time of need and put me in a comfortable place for retirement. I was turned away by others that were afraid to fight the good fight. Mr. Silver was courageous enough to help me and fought side by side with me against the City of Los Angeles. My deteriorating health was a result of on the job harassment and discrimination. Thanks to Mr. Silver I am living a peaceful and happy retirement life with compensation that will benefit my family and the generations to come.

I was reluctant to even seek legal counsel on a matter that I was pretty sure was hopeless. Though I knew I was right, I also knew that my evidence was flimsy. He took the case, handled it 100% professionally, and reached a fair settlement on my behalf. I highly recommend him. P.S. On other sites, people have complained that he doesn't return calls, etc. I rarely called him. People, please! These things take time to develop and move forward. Be patient. He will not disappoint.

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.

Mr. Silver is as good as it gets when it comes to Workers Comp attorneys.  When I phoned him I had called many attorneys and explained my case and they all said no because they didn’t think they could win it. By the time I phoned Mr. Silver I was completely hopeless and tired of retelling my story. Then I heard the best words I’d heard in a long time "I’ll take your case". I couldn’t believe my ears. I have known him for years since that first hopeless call and can say first hand that he is an honorable, kind, brilliant attorney. Most of us don’t admire attorneys but Mr. Silver is highly admired by me. When workers have asked me who my attorney is I gladly give then his card and then rave about him for the next ten minutes. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without him. Though my case has just recently closed he said if I had any questions I could still call and he will help me. It has been my great pleasure to work with a man that is so intelligent and such a gentleman. He is the tops in his field, trust him, be honest and he will never let you down. Thank you Mr. Silver for being my knight in shining armor, you’ve got a place in my heart.Carla Thomas

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.

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!

I thought that I would be lost in the shuffle. Instead I was surprised at the individual treatment I was given.. My calls were answered promptly. My questions were answered in a way that I could understand. When my case was finally settled, I thought it was a very fair result given everything that I've gone through with my injury.. I would not hesitate to recommend these attorneys.

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 65th 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!

Mr. Silver successfully negotiated a C&R Settlement for a complex 31-year Work Comp case with California Insurance Guarantee Association this January. He is one of the top 5 attorneys in the CA Work Comp field, and his expertise proved invaluable to me not only in the selection of my expert and brilliant Cedars-Sinai Physician(s), but also in the final negotiations, including complex Medicare Set Aside procedures, Annuities, Lump Sum, & Supplemental Plans. He is the best and really cares.

Mr. Silver represented me in a Worker's Comp matter that covered the period from 1982 to 1985 while I was employed at one of the CSU campuses. While I was not off the payroll for that entire period, he not only secured my job, but also insured I was properly compensated for lost wages and retained my position and proper salary rate. I have recommended many co-workers and a family member to him over the years to their satisfaction. I highly recommend this firm of fine Attorneys.
