I worked with Steven and his team following an MVA. Steven was very knowledge, professional and compassionate. He always took the time to explain the law and rules pertaining to my case. His experience and knowledge made me feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation. Steven and Nickey were always available to answer my questions and provide updates on where my case stood. Throughout the process there was never a doubt that Steven was putting my interests first - I was happy with the outcome of my case. Steven was very supportive the 2 years we worked together. I am grateful and would highly

Steven did an exceptional job of outlining the relevant laws and what I needed to be aware of through the process. This put me in a position to keep my case strong and not later feel like I would have done things differently had I known better.
His experience and professionalism took care of all of the administrative hurdles so I could focus my efforts on what was really important - my recovery.
I hope to never need an injury lawyer ever again, but if I do, I know where to go.

Steven and his team of law clerks were a blessing to work with. Throughout my entire process they were tentative to my request and needs.
I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a personal injury lawyer. I don't know if I would've gotten the same respect and professionalism from any other firm.
Thank you so much Steven and everyone who helped with my MVA case.

We worked with Steven Polak from Lerners who assisted us for 2 years on a personal injury case involving my elderly mother. Navigating the insurance and legal system when someone suffers a serious injury can be very intimidating. Steven and his team held our hands the entire way. They were always available to answer our questions and provide advice, to act as our liaison with the insurance company, to arrange critical health support. We were never left without updates on the case and Steven went to great lengths to patiently explain every step we were going through. We were very happy with the

It is with pleasure that I recommend Mr. Steven Polak to represent you or one of your family members. Mr. Polak took on my 18 year old daughters car accident case and handled the entire two year process with care. He was very thorough and incredibly professional all while treating my 18 year old daughter with respect, kindness and care. From the start Steven communicated with my daughter and answered any and all questions that we had. My daughter, husband and I were very very pleased with the final settlement as it exceeded all expectations.

On February 24, 2019 I sustained a fracture on both my right and left ankle due to a fall outside my doctors office.
One of the doctors treated me and told me to go get some x-rays (both ankles broken). After a week in the hospital, I was released with a
boot cast on each leg. A friend of my husband recommended i see a lawyer. She recommended Steven Polak of Learners lawyers, which I did.
Steven listened to what had happened and was very understanding of the pain and suffering i went through, as he had seen it before . I
felt very relaxed at the way everything was explained and what to expect

Steven Polak and his team handled my case better than I could have imagined. Switching to this law firm was the best choice I could have made. I was finally a lot more calm about my case knowing that it was in trustworthy, knowledgeable, and professional hands. Steven was always available to answer questions, provide clarification, and offer the best advice. He was very patient and understanding of my concerns throughout the entire process, and was always very clear and honest about the situation, making sure that I understood what was happening and why. It was extremely helpful during such a difficult

Steven and his team not only provided excellent service as a legal team throughout the course of these legal events but also were able to answer any questions I had, and explain them in such a manner that I was able to understand all the events taking place during the course of this action. They made me feel secure whenever I was having doubts or issues, and made a bad situation so much better. His assistant Lindsay was always there to help out if Steven was at trial and knew the background and events going on in may case. Both always followed up so quickly.
