Katherine L. Niven

This Lawyer had an attorney on my workers comp case named Victoria Edwards who was great, but she left for another firm. Katherine Niven took over and my case went to hell. I had to settle for less than what I would have lost for a year of lost wages which I have been off work for over a year. She ru...shed me through the paper signing because they were calling us to get in front of the judge. They said to waive my right to appeal because it would speed up me getting my money. Then I find out that workers comp is only responsible for $2,000.00 of total medical bills for over a year and I am responsible for the rest. My attorney recieved her portion of the settlement and my check written out to her and me and refuses to give me any money till she see's how much is owed. That is fine but the insurance Co. had 30 days to respond and they haven't and she still refuses to give me any money. She wants me to look up information that she should be doing and was paid to do. She has hung up on me several times and asked that I dont call her office and has even called me a prick. Very unproffesional. I would not recommend this attorney to my worst enemy. Anyone is willing to call me and go into detail about this woman and her practices. She was even a workers comp judge and I feel she should be familiar with the workers comp laws instead of wanting me to do her leg work.
