Steer clear

I'm using this firm for s s disability,I did more work then they did,I spoke to s disability myself,more than I spoke to them.The attorney I was assigned,I spoke to once,her mailbox is always full.I’ve been through 3 paralegals,this last one the worst,never returns your calls,how do you update medica...l issues,when you can’t speak to anyone.I found out not through them,s disability called me back,to say I was approved,three weeks ago.Still haven’t heard from them,after 4 calls.Completely awful.Don’t waste your time here.

Will never use again, vague on case details, horrible paralegal Wendy

I'm more than dissatisfied with my case. I asked details of my case through every step of appeals and just vague on why it was denied. That is 1/4 the reason I will not do business with them again. 3/4 of the reason was because the horrible paralegal Wendy that i was assigned. First start, she talked... down to me like I was an idiot when I asked questions. Also when I asked about appeals and things the lawyer and I discussed, she argued with me saying I was wrong and didn't have a clue what I was talking about. She told me opposite information on my case than what me lawyer and I talked about. Last straw was I called her to see if I should fill out form from insurance carrier sent to me in the mail, she said yes and drop it off at Alex Dell to get notarized and the law office will look it over and send it out. I did what she said, later it was used against me which i don't have as much issue with it, but then to question me the next time I called her saying why didn't I check with her before sending it out and I shouldn't of done that. I told her I did what she said and was sent out from your office, she said I'm gravely mistaken and wasn't going to argue. That burned me deeply since I trusted this law office for guidance on my case then turn and blame me for wrong turns in the case. Due to the paralegal Wendy being wrong on advice and case details, unprofessional, and taking forever to call back, My brother also has a case within law firm and has the same gripes with Wendy arguing with him and telling him wrong details of case. We both will not be using this law firm again mainly because of the paralegal. Wendy doesn't do any service for this firm with her attitude and ineptitude of the cases she handles.

Hired for services that weren’t provided

I hired Alex Dells law firm for a workers compensation case. Alex met with me initially to sign the retainer agreement and then I never saw him again. I was forced to deal with young adult paralegals for my case. When I made calls, I received no calls back. I’d hear from some young kid attorney the n...ight before a hearing to provide me there name and let me know they would be there to represent me. Typically at those hearings much harm would have happened due to Alex Dells office not having what they needed or being prepared. I constantly had to clean up their mess at these times so that I wasn’t harmed in my case. Is Alex out getting more cases and filling his pockets or is he working on the many cases they seem to have? Do not hire this firm.

I appreciate the valuable feedback and do take it seriously. I apologize that you are not having a good experience. I would like to speak to you regarding your case. If you could please contact my office at 518-862-5555, I would be happy to speak to you directly as speaking over the internet is no place to discuss your case. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Alex

sorry i stayed with them

sorry i used them for my social security disability. in dec 2016 a guy there took my case. a month later he left the practice . on chance i called several months later to see how it was going and found out my file was in a drawer sitting and my case was not even started. i was livid but they asked fo...r a second chance. so sorry i gave it to them. called today to check on status and was told people have cancer and other serious issues. WOW! what a statement to make to a client, especially after the first time they let my case sit so long.

my case was too difficult for him to take

I have a lawyer that has done nothing for me since he was hired 2001. I have no clue about workman comp, there I was not aware of what I could of had until a conversation with a retired claims adjuster told me beginning of 2016. I am getting no where with the lawyer I have.
