Initially, he handled my claim well, paying close attention to issues and fighting for me. As time dragged on though, his interest became less and less. Finally, the insurance company began talking about settlement, and he quickly jumped on their train. Pushed for me to give up all rights and take the money they offered. Final straw was when he offered a settlement figure without first consulting the client (me) - which is a breach of ethics. In the end, he sold me out... Steer clear - better attorneys are out there...
From the I moment I hired this law firm I felt like I was working for them instead of the other way around. They never answered my questions or returned calls, they demanded I be available on THEIR schedule. The attorneys couldn't be bothered to attend conference calls with the insurance adjuster. I was left with a legal assistant who didn't bother to find out why the insurance adjuster wanted to interview me. I found out at the time of the interview that it had nothing to do with me and was a waste of time. When their staff was rude and exhibited poor customer service, I was told the staff comes first over any client and I needed to accept it or leave. I left and anyone reading this should look elsewhere for competent legal advice. These lawyers can't be bothered with practicing the law and one of them even said they were too busy to be bothered with my case - this was after they agreed to represent me. You'll find, if you hire them, that they are often away on vacation. AVOID the headache when there are so many other competent law firms to chose from. I am not one to write reviews but, in this case, I feel compelled to warn others of their shoddy practices.
