Lowell A Stanley

Over a year ago, I was in an accident in my daughter's car. A man not paying attention backed out of a parking spot in the parking lot, and plowed right into the side of the car. I was of course shaken and sustained some minor injuries. The car was still drivable but the total damages to the car we...re to the tune of $4000. The damages to the car and my daughter's diminished value claims were handled right away through the other person's insurance, but I retained Lowell Stanley to assist me in helping me get my medical bills paid and any type of pain and suffering out of this case. Over a year later, and after all my bills have gone into collections, I am now receiving less than what the insurance company offered me that day, and Lowell Stanley is walking away with twice as much as I am getting. When I told him that this didn't seem fair (about 4 months ago), he said that this was just the way that these things work out. I told him that I wanted him to sign a release and that I would work out my own settlement before my bills went to collections and he threatened me with a lawsuit and said that he would have to come after me to recoup the fees that he had spent with researching the case. I told him that I felt cheated and that I didn't want to accept his offer (not the insurance companies offer, but his offer of taking more than half of the settlement after bills were paid) he literally called me "STUPID". I will never do business with this law firm again, NOR will I allow any of my friends to do so either. Please if you are reading this e-mail beware!! He is not a good lawyer if he could not negotiate this open and shut case. My daughter did better with her diminished value claim and with her help, the insurance company was offering me more than what Mr. Stanley "won" for me after a years worth of his efforts, and he supposedly has a law degree. Further, he is not a good businessman because at no time should you call your client STUPID and still think that they are supposed to allow you to continue to represent them. By far the worst experience to date. PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE - GO ELSEWHERE!!! TRUSTWORTHY - NO, not when you call your client names RESPONSIVE - No, countless unanswered phone calls, finally had to resort to registered mail to get responses KNOWLEDGEABLE - If so, couldn't tell it from the outcome of the case INFORMED - No, see responsive
