  Avoid Brown & Goodkin – Unprofessional and Dismissive I reached out to Brown & Goodkin for a consultation regarding a reasonable accommodation issue. My conversation with their attorney lasted maybe five to seven minutes, during which he continuously interrupted me, claimed he didn’t understand my situation, and even stated that he didn’t have much time for this. His tone was dismissive, borderline rude, and unprofessional. Despite barely giving me a chance to explain my case, he abruptly suggested that I might not have a case and then asked if I’d be willing to pay $600 just for a consultation. At that point, it was clear that he wasn’t interested in truly assessing my situation—just collecting a fee. I expect professionalism and respect when seeking legal guidance, and this firm did not deliver. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone dealing with employment law matters, especially those seeking fair treatment and advocacy in sensitive cases. Look elsewhere for a lawyer who values their clients.

  I was hurt a work, I was a firefighter , and told I would never be one again. In all honesty I was told if I were to be hit in the head, I would become a crippled. I applied for workman's comp and was denied for every little thing you could imagine. The doctor's report was done by a physician's assistant not an MD, or saying they never received papers I sent registered mail. It never ended. I had multiple attorneys over about eight years or so, and found Dan. He asked for a rather large retainer, for me on disability anyway, but kept assuring me I had a good case. He didn't give up even when I would have. There's something about him not many know, but he is on a review board to help work out ways workman's comp rules are handled, but most importantly, he can talk informally to people higher in the agency than most others can. This doesn't mean any rules get bent, or favoritism, just being able to ask a reasonable question about what is going on, and getting an answer that makes sense. He asked a few questions and kept filing, and asking questions, and kept reassuring me that we would win. He arranged everything, from Doctors I needed to see, or forms I had to fill out, he took care of it all. I was apprehensive, because it took a long time, but had faith in him, and I won. I couldn't belive it. After words there was some things to take care of, like switching from disability to workman's comp, retirement, and a few other things, but he helped with all of those. I know for a fact I could call right now, and get him on the phone if I had to. He even answered emails and phone calls after hours and on weekends. If you call him and he tells you, you have a chance, then you do, and he and his staff will take care of you. He's fair on his fees, and belive me he earns them. He's also very down to earth, and talks more like some one you could sit and have a drink with and talk for hours. I can only say after ten or twelve years with no hope I won, and it's because of him.

  Very pleased with this firm in their representation of me regarding the USDOL OWCP issue I was experiencing. I found them to be honest, responsive, and effective. Others who I know who have used this firm have also had the same experience I have. There are very few firms nationwide that handle USDOL OWCP issues. I find this firm to be above the others. I have and will continue to recommend this firm to others who are in need of USDOL OWCP representation.

  I recently tried to contact Brown & Goodking about a potencial case, but after calling and leaving messages, I never received a call back. This lack of communication was very frustrating and made it difficult to get the help I needed.

  This amazing law firm came to my rescue and went straight to work. Mr Goodkin and Ms Alvarado were knowledgeable and professional. They expeditiously turned my OPM disability retirement case around. Please do not hesitate to hire this team to be on your side. They are very experienced in federal law and will make all the difference in your case. Thank you a million times to this incredible team of professionals!
