Exactly what I needed

I recently had an issue with a creditor which due to poor communication and misunderstanding evolved into a lawsuit against me. I needed advice from an attorney to solve the problem. I consulted with Gail. She recognized the issue, saw that it wasn't complicated ( just needed to be communicated pro...perly) and contacted the other parties attorney immediately and through a quick negotiation the lawsuit was stopped and the issue solved to both parties satisfaction. I was not able to communicate the issue properly. Gail was. She is down to earth and easy to talk with, understood my needs and position and then was able to relay that in the proper legal way to the other parties attorney. I cannot thank her enough for helping me solve my problem. Experienced, understanding and real. 5 stars. Thanks Gail

Hurt in Accident

I was in a very serious accident over two years ago. I didn't call an attorney right away like all my friends said I should. Then I realized the insurance company was never going to take care of me like everyone said they should. My injuries weren't healing the way I thought they would. When I ca...lled attorney Balser last year, she took care of everything. She was able to get more than triple what the insurance company offered me. Plus all of the difficulties i had been having with getting medical treatment approved disappeared. They finally became cooperative and let me get the medical care i needed. It is best to get a hold of her at night and weekends as she is very busy during the day. I always felt like she truly cared about my family and I.

absolutely money motivated and deceitful when comes a time table if court action iin your behalf

There is not doubt the lawyer could be effecient in defending your case but lpoor researching skills and a lust for $ is strickly what drives her poor representation of your case ,the delays in court proceedings .I believe the intial promises that were made are Gails famous quotes "I can an...d will" and having an excuse why the date isn't what promised any speech given is false because making money is all that justifies her core personality as lawyer You as client are irrelevant the case and time and $ you lost will reflect how the answer and I quote it's your fault that this hasn't happened or I need more *$ just research the other comments and believe in what has been in written previously reviews on this site are 100% accurate please research who and what this person has done don't listen to other lawyer reiviews endorsing this individual .You want to be taken advantage of and find to late then hire this individual who can't be accountable or trusted for adequate representation.Be start find a lawyer other than this attorney.

Bankruptcy

Worst experience ever! Basically, here is how it works. She takes your money first. Then you get a timeframe. When that timeframe is up, you get an excuse. Next, we repeat the process until you get mad and demand your money back. After all this time has passed, she says when I already put most ...of the time into your case so it won't be a full refund. She will offer you 20% of what you gave her. So don't waste your hard earned money. She did not filed a thing for us and we had to do all the work of uploading documents for 6 months. I am a fair person. Give me a full refund and I have no problem erasing this review.
