Do not hire this lawyer
This lawyer never did anything on our case. He wait a YEAR to even pick it up. He advised my daughter not to make a statement to our insurance company thus making our insurance find in favor of the other client. After following all his own advise he says "I can't help you now because your insuranc...
Patricia, I am sorry that you feel like you do. I take client reviews and clients' happiness with my services very seriously. Unfortunately, much of what you say is incorrect, as I started working on the case the moment I was retained, 4 days after the accident. When your daughter moved from Boston to Texas she failed to maintain contact with our office, often changing email addresses and mailing addresses without notifying us. Nonetheless, we continued to attempt to contact her. We provide a guarantee that phone calls will be returned within 24 hours. If your daughter called, she never left a message. We were actively trying to speak with her for the better part of one year. Additionally, providing a statement to an insurance company is never in one's best interest as the more statements in existence creates the potential for the other side to exploit even the smallest inconsistency at a deposition or trial. Finally, we never said that we could not help your daughter and have always been willing to litigate the case on her behalf. We are a litigation firm, consistently filing lawsuits for our clients to fight against the insurance companies. Unfortunately, when I asked your daughter for some assurance that she would return to Boston from Texas in order to participate in her case, she refused to do so. I cannot litigate her case without her. Given her past history of being uncooperative and uncommunicative, and the fact that she lives in Texas and has no intention to return to Massachusetts, there is no way we would be successful in a lawsuit without her. Since I have spent numerous hours on her case and have spent money out of my own pocket on her case related expenses, I would have preferred to have a willing client to work with. If you would like to discuss this furher, I welcome a conversation with you or your daughter. If not, I wish you both the best of luck.
