"The phone itself is unlocked.. It's locked out of Google. We can't get passed the Google screen. We've tried everything. Been on the phone twice with Google. They know their is an issue, it's a Google security issue and they just keep sending you to Samsung, who in turn sends you back to Google and Verizon. They need to replace it but won't because it's useless to them as it is to me."

TIA
This may be way off base, but try taking the battery out for 5 minutes and restart the whole phone over with the battery re-installed. Can you Google this problem online from a different phone that has internet access or from a home computer?
