My experince with golden state has been nothing but professional and great. They did all the work and all the thinking for me. These things take time...it's the system and when your advocating with an attorney like Mr. Davis you are in the hands of a professional. My end result was positive and I am happy with the outcome none of which could have been possible without Mr. Davis. Honestly do your self a favor, recruit these guys on your side and stop worring about it. Five stars because of how I was respected and treated through the experince. read more

Here I am still four years later dealing with this law firm , please do your research on what firm you pick to help you, don't just go by word of mouth. Listen to all the previous bad reviews about this law firm they are true. This is a no star deserved firm , but have to put one in order to write a review. read more

In May of last year they were referred to me through a friend that was experiencing a similar situation regarding workers compensation. So when I called and spoke with Chris the office manager he was very charming and seemed to be very friendly and assured me they would handle my case with care and represent me . That has not been my experience the office is unorganized. I've had delays with receiving updates about my case . I've had to call and email for status updates . I was at first speaking with Tino who would take weeks to call back and it would take extended periods of time to respond to emails I'm guessing he's no longer with the firm as i haven't seen any correspondence from him and he's no longer CC'd in emails . But if you are looking for a lawyer or firm to represent you in your workers compensation case please choose another firm . My calls began getting screened so I would have to call blocking my caller ID or from another phone to get them to answer my calls . You always speak to someone new and they can never answer your detailed questions accurately you ask for a call back and they tell you they will but the return call rarely happens. You usually have to call back to get things sorted out . A week ago I spoke with a woman over the phone Aaliyah who said she'd have Royce call me back as he was in meeting 3 days later still no callback . So once again I'm having to call to follow up Aaliyah answers the phone again unable to answer my questions the phone call escalates and she hangs up in my face which is very unprofessional. I followed up with an email to Ryan , Robert & Chris . Chris then follows up with a phone call with his usual tactics of dancing around my concerns with light banter which at this point is insulting as I've been unhappy with my representation for quite some time . You'll see Chris has a way of not directly addressing concerns but rather spewing a bunch of legal rhetoric when you express disdain. Once I write an email to formally start documenting my ongoing concerns with representation along with letting them know I did plan on filing a complaint with the Ca bar association they decided to withdraw from my case instead of taking accountability and addressing my concerns . I was responded to with defensive emails instead of accountability. If your not into harassing and baby sitting this isn't a firm you'd want to represent you . As we know the process of dealing with workers comp is frustrating in itself having a firm represent you that's lacking makes things even more stressful . read more

Honestly, they are just a high-volume firm that doesn't really care about the details of your case. During the height of my case, the person who onboarded me was so kind, and now I feel like I was sort of preyed upon when I was vulnerable. I contacted them during the peak of my case, and the same person who onboarded me was very kind, but now I feel like I was exploited when I was vulnerable. They don't respond for weeks on end and never give you any information. I've had to ask multiple times just to get a call back. When the person missed the call and I called the office, the receptionist laughed and said, "Oh, that sounds just like what's his name..." Not fun. I would really suggest looking around for someone who will actually take your case seriously. read more

Believe the many other negative reviews. Minimal effort and communication. The process is never explained clearly and found out they made a lot of mistakes no guidance or they just don't care. Forget about having them fight for you as the other reviews state they are just turning a quick buck. Nevertheless, I have hired a new attorney and I already see the difference! read more

I regret to say that my experience with Golden State Workers' Compensation has been extremely disappointing. It has now been nearly two years, and not only has my case made little to no progress, but the lack of communication and support has been incredibly frustrating. They will ignore calls and emails. I started to be proactive in my own case and was given updates about the progress I made to my employer's insurance, which was not theirs. After initial contact, communication essentially dropped off. It became nearly impossible to get meaningful updates or assistance. When I did manage to speak with someone, specifically Tino, I found him to be condescending and dismissive. Rather than listening to the full scope of my case, he frequently interrupted and repeated information I was already well aware of--providing no new insights or help. He also made claims about being proactive and handling matters behind the scenes, yet I saw no evidence of that. They keep saying they need a supplemental report, which needs to be completed within 30-90 days. However, it's been a year since my QME. What's most troubling is the complete lack of empathy shown. If you're dealing with a work-related injury and looking for someone to advocate for you, this firm does not appear to be invested in truly helping or understanding the emotional and physical toll involved. I just got off the phone with Tino, and while I am trying to tell him everything that is going on in my case, he is speaking over me. Once I asked to be dismissed, so I could sign on with a new law firm, he stated, " I told you I would follow up today." Well, that was also said months ago in June. I just want to be done with this case and their staff. I would not recommend Golden State Workers' Compensation to anyone seeking reliable, respectful, and compassionate representation. My experience has been nothing short of exhausting and disheartening. read more

Do not sign onto Golden State Workers Compensation law firm. Very unprofessional. Are not diligent, unprofessional international staff. And very poor communications. They just want a quick 15% of your settlement for very minimal work. Believe me! read more

Ryan Davis will actively ignore you and close your case without ever notifying you. I would not be surprised if he recieved something in return from former employers. Risk it if you want, you've been warned. PS. Many of these reviews are fake ​​ Update: Just hours after posting this review "attorney" Ryan Davis just called and argued with me, threatened me with knowing my address and more great things! read more

SCAMMERS!! I am writing to formally dispute and express my concern regarding a lien filed by Golden State Workers Comp following your voluntary withdrawal as my legal representation. After signing a contingency fee agreement with your office for assistance with a claim against my employer, communication ceased. Despite repeated attempts, my calls went unanswered until I finally received a call back. Upon expressing concerns about your lack of responsiveness, your office unilaterally relieved itself as my counsel. At no point was any substantive legal work completed on my case. Shortly thereafter, I retained new counsel who has been consistently responsive and effective. However, I was surprised and disturbed to receive a "Notice and Request for Allowance of Lien" from your office. As per our agreement, compensation was to be contingent upon a successful resolution of my case through your representation which you abandoned. Filing a lien under these circumstances is not only unjustified but constitutes fraudulent and unethical conduct. I have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and submitted a police report regarding this matter. I request immediate withdrawal of the lien and written confirmation of the same. I have also reported you to the BAR! read more

Ryan Davis is a scammer, he feeds you a dream and leaves you in the dust at the end with barley Pennie's on the dollar on a case he tells you is worth tens of thousands even hundreds lol. Scam artist. Reporting him to the bar for ghosting my partner and she got ghosted after the first day. P.S their Sacramento office does not exist! It's a hoax they got shut down. They are in Oakland and I hear he's still trying to act like he's a Sacramento attorney. read more

Great firm and great people. Friendly staff that always answers calls. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

If I could give negative stars I would. At the start they were super friendly and responded. They told us things take time so we didn't contact them. After a few months my husband I messaged them to see how things were coming along. They ignored our emails AND calls. It's been a year of nothing and turns out Ryan Davis filed ONE document. We have now contacted him asking if he can please remove himself from our case so we can find someone else and he refuses. I will be filing a complaint with the board and even contacting a lawyer for his negligence. Thank GOD we found a decent attorney so my husband has a chance of winning his case. read more

Positive experience with this staff. Very knowledgeable and informative with answering questions.

Do yourself a favor and don't waste time trying to figure out your workers Comp yourself. All of them are against you, from the paid Dr's to the workers Comp. insurance company. Call and get a well qualified attorney right away. Ryan literally took care of everything for me. He is well versed in this specific law, makes it simple, well executed and painless and honestly. I consider it a pleasure to have worked with him and to have guided me through this painful experience. Having to deal with such lousy people, and then having Ryan assure me that it's not personal, they just are immoral, made it less miserable. The only thing I regret is not knowing to contact him sooner. read more

Ryan and Robert Davis are amazing lawyers, the assistants are just as amazing. I would recommend this firm to anyone.

I don't know how these people are in business, they sugar you up. but do not practice what they preach. they do not answer emails or phone calls. in the end they don't even do anything with your case. they work with workercomp to close your case. read more

Ryan was my attorney for a case that lasted 3 1/2 years with my previous employer. Ryan and his staff are SUPER professional and down-to-earth. They will represent you in the best possible way, and argue for the highest settlements for a Worker's Comp case. The staff at Golden State Workers' Comp are all very friendly, and do not hesitate to help you in anyway they can. There is a level of honesty and courteousness that is second to none with this legal organization. So if you are in need of a great attorney for a Workers' Compensation legal issue, give this place a call right away! You will not be disappointed. Thanks so much Ryan and the team! You guys are the best! read more

Ryan Davis does not return calls or emails. I have all the proof that he neglected multiple attempts of myself trying to contact him after he was my attorney. Very good talker on the first call. I will be filling a complaint with the bar on his neglect. Do not use this attorney. read more

This firm was super-helpful the day I signed up, saying they would return phone calls within a day and see to my valid concerns about things like lost wages, etc. They did not. Everything they promised me in the initial intake conversation did not happen. This attorney and his staff do not return calls when they promise, do not answer emails, and--the worst thing of all--when I finally got the attorney on the phone, he actually raised his voice at me for bothering him because he was so concerned about all his other clients. Thumbs down, big time. I have worked for a lot of attorneys, it was a mistake to call this firm. read more

Ryan is a fierce advocate. We fired our previous attorney who boasted he had "over 30 years experience in workers compensation cases". At the first bump, our previous attorney rolled over, and basically quit on us. We were fortunate to find an attorney like Ryan who stood up for us, and fought the crooked workers compensation adjuster every step of the way. Ryan's knowledge and nuanced approach to getting a favorable outcome for his clients is unmatched. The depth of knowledge he has simply blew away the opposition. He fights day and night, and unlike most law firms that claim they will be there for you, Ryan always responds and does not have your typical case manager or paralegal (as with most firms) screen your calls when a question or concern arises. Ryan is the attorney that will get you results, and our family cannot recommend him enough. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Ryan at Golden State, and just received my settlement in the mail. Ryan always had my back and fought hard for me to get what I deserved. I would highly recommend Ryan or anyone at Golden State if you need representation for workers comp claims. So much stress was removed knowing I had not only a top notch attorney but also an amazing person looking out for me. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Ryan on a claim and was very pleased with the outcome. He was very thorough in explaining everything needed to get the idea results. He showed a tremendous amount of dedication in making sure he provided a great client experience. I highly recommend. As a bonus he is highly relatable to the working class and Super in touch with the everyday working American. read more

Ryan Davis was very diligent in work. The case took about 6 months to reach resolution and he absolutely exceeded my expectations. I would certainly hire him again. read more

I can say when I first took on this journey I was worried because I have never been in his situation before. But GSWC Team did a great job guiding me through the process and getting the help I needed thanks to them I am able to continue my life and not stress anymore. I would recommend to everyone because of the Job they have done for me and my family. read more

Thanks to Ryan's informative review of my workers comp case I was able to make a decision to go forward with a settlement. Thank you Ryan for your time and consideration. read more

From the moment I called Mr. Davis I just knew my life would get better! My Davis is a very warm, compassionate, strategic, witty attorney. One of the things I most enjoy about having Mr. Davis as my attorney is that from the very start he works hard and diligently gets things done in a swift manner. I also like that he seems more like a really good friend than just being your attorney. I am very impressed by Mr. Davis, and very thankful to be a client! Use Mr. Davis and you will not regret it! He is already working on my 2nd case and I know it will be a very happy ending ;) read more

Ryan is very helpful when you need to get information. He was available for phone calls even late in the afternoon and had no problems in answering all of our questions. He is very friendly and offers good advice. I would recommend using him for workers comp cases read more
