What a headache !?!?

Only writing this review because I was ask to by the firm. I have hired this firm to assist with to cases of mine. The first was a shoe in and it was was settled without a problem. However with the 2nd case they dropped the ball. I made sure Banks was included with this case from the beginning . Bu...t I assume do to the expansion of the firm particularly cases were thrown to the side. A 1 1/2 after taking my case I received a letter they they no longer wanted to take my case. I called to see if they could explain the letter but no one in the office knew what I was referrring to. It took 8months before I heard back from the firm to continue with treatment. Long story short . I held it out with the firm until settlement, Mr. Banks and I met the morning of he was missing important documents for my case. He didn't really know what was going on. During settlement the firm provided the insurance company with the wrong contact information and my settlement check was lost for 2 months! Aside from my disappointment with Halmon Banks, I would like specially thank the lead Paralegal Angela. She was awesome when it came to follow ups and keeping me inform with my settlement check whereabouts!

Great results

Nothing but good things to say bout Banks. Every one on the staff is always there to help with my case, and the results are always and have been since day one in my favor. Best decision I have made in a long time.

Look No Further

I've been a client with Mr. Banks for five years now. (Longer than most relationships!) After we won the initial decision, for my wage and medical benefits we had to go to court a few more times. My case took a lot of turns, for complex reasons and Banks Firm was there and is still there fighting at ...every turn. Everyone's case is NOT the same, everyone has different circumstances and I thank God for bringing Mr. Banks firm into my life to fight and win these battles with the utmost integrity. Banks law firm is an experienced, dedicated group of legal professionals who gives it to you straight and doesn't leave your side.

Best workers compensation lawyer in Philadelphia.

My lawyer Mr. Banks represented me to the fullest, he completely handled my case,even when I wasn't present at most of the hearings. I felt confident knowing he would take care of whatever situation,or issues we were faced with.Mr Banks and his team of Lawyers are Philadelphia's finest.They come high...ly recommended by me.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
