Dear Brian,
M&M are the best! They showed me the patience I didn't have to handle the case! They took care of business and made me feel safe. They helped me resolve all the issues I had regarding the accident, and eventually got me the money the company owed me! It as a long journey but all along they showed to be reliable and trustworthy.
THANK YOU for being the best!

"Attorneys who genuinely care about their clients and have the necessary expertise are hard to find, but easy to spot," says New York personal injury attorney Neal Goldstein about Mittman. "In writing 5 Deadly Sins That Can Derail Your New York Workers' Compensation Case - Avoid Them and You May Have a Shot at Receiving Benefits!, Mr. Mittman leaves no doubt that he is such an attorney. Armed with experience, knowledge and compassion, Mr. Mittman has created a book that will guide employees through the often confusing process of seeking fair compensation for injuries which affect their job performance."
Goldstein went on to say, "having the right workers' compensation lawyer for my clients is essential. This book is proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Brian Mittman and his firm, Markhoff & Mittman, stand out against those who claim to practice workers' compensation."
"This book is an excellent example of why Mittman is so well respected in this field. With clear cut narratives and easy-to-understand examples, this book can serve as a road map for any injured party to charting the appropriate course to follow." - comment from former White Plains City Court Judge, Andrew Brottman on 5 Deadly Sins That Can Derail Your Workers' Compensation Case - Avoid Them and You May Have a Shot at Receiving Benefits!
You did an excellent job representing [client] in his Social Security Disability heaing. There are no words that can properly describe the thanks that we owe you for your professional representation before the Judge. Your thorough hard work paid off with the positive findings by the Judge and disability award.
I am not sure that you or anyone else can truly understand how important this disability award was. It will go a long way to help restore his dignity, self-confidence and financial security. In fact, this favorable award is probably the best medicine he has gotten in years. His attitude has already improved now that he has a certain financial future and knows that he will have good medical benefits.
You have performed as promised in a professional, insightful manner, always keeping the best interests of the client in mind. The fact that you remained the direct contact during this process was so important to him and helped gain his trust and confidence. You were able to take a difficult client with a complex medical case and put it into proper presentation to meet the difficult requirements of Social Security and satisfy the demands of the Judge to enable him to render a favorable finding. Your case preparation and coordination with our doctors put forth an appeal before the Judge that could only result in a positive finding.
Our most sincere thanks for an excellent job.
You are excellent lawyers and I wish you the best and continued success if life. Not too many people take the extra time when an individual like myself has dealt with a lot of medical issues. On behalf of my family, I want to thank you for doing such a great job.
