Client Testimonials
This review is for Attorney Steve Scardino. I was referred by a friend to give him a call regarding a Workers’ Comp. claim. After a significant amount of time on the phone, Steve gave me an honest assessment of my case. The man kept taking my calls and provided some guidance that led me to a fair compensation. The best part, he didn’t need to take me on as a client. The guy is something else! I recommend anyone to call him. He will be open and honest about what he thinks of your situation. Thanks Steve.

Dealing with workers' compensation was an extremely difficult process. At every turn they tried to deceive, delay and refuse multiple treatments and surgery. When I approached GEK for representation, they took care of everything for me — fought for my PPD, my surgery, all the way through settlement. Not once did I feel pressure from GEK, only patience. I felt heard when I spoke to Steve and Laura, and I can't express the amount of gratitude I have for them and GEK Law. I even sent them a gift basket as a show of thanks — and who does that? People that appreciate the work they do, that's who.

I had the absolute best attorney working on my First Responder workers' comp injury cases. Steve Scardino has been there for me and was always two steps ahead to address any issues that arose. Steve's experience was greatly appreciated in knowing exactly how to explain every step of the way — from the day after an on-the-job injury, to guiding me through the difficult CalPERS Injury Disability Retirement, and now the settlement award process. Thank you, Steve, for being so professional and attentive, and for handling all my workers' comp injury cases with care. I appreciate all that you have done for me.

Steve Scardino is an excellent lawyer. He is very knowledgeable in the law enforcement part of workers' comp cases. My employer's risk management department was putting me and Steve through hoops and making everything very difficult. It was a long, drawn-out case thanks to risk management, but due to Steve's experience and knowledge he made this experience very smooth. He won the case for me with a good outcome. That was back in February. Here we are in August, and he still continues to call and see how I have been doing. Thanks a lot for all your help, Steve.

I hired Mr. Steven Scardino for my workers' compensation injury. Steve is a skilled attorney and possesses an outstanding knowledge of the medical issues surrounding workplace injuries. Steve was there with me through the entire process. Communication is one of Steve's strengths — he was able to "dumb down" all of the legal issues at hand and never tired of explaining the status of my case. If you were injured, call Steve: he does not just fight, he wins!
