Herman E. Gaskins Jr.

After getting a settlement offer from a serious car accident and accepting, I lost all communication with Mr Gaskins for two weeks. I talked with my local police department and they told me I was rightfully concerned and offered to call them for me. Two days later I got my settlement check. When the...y finally called me they acted like nothing happened and that they were ready to send me the check. No apology for lack of communication, nothing. Definitely doesn't seem like a professional law firm.

This lawyer told me he could represent me and asked me to attend a 4-hour course before he did so. I took the course and sent his secretary verification of this. She verified she received it and I have the email record to prove so. I never heard from them again. No invoice or any other contact from t...he lawyer. Months later, I received a document in the mail telling me that I didn't show up for my court date and that my license was going to be revoked as a result. When I got in touch with Herman about this, he immediately became very belligerent, telling me that, despite the email record that I have of his secretary telling me that she had received my document, he had never received any contact or money from me. I asked how I could send him money if I hadn't received anything in the way of an invoice and he told me to go find another lawyer. I wasted 4 hours of my time in the aforementioned course and I'm now losing my license because of this man.

I met with Herman for a consultation and afterwards,, he told me he would not be back in the office for 2+ weeks. Therefore, being smart and having options was the best thing for me. I had already told him that he was my primary choice and, of course he loved that. 5 days after the consultation I wen...t to get my papers back because I was advised to look at other lawyers for a backup. Needless to say that the secretary DID NOT want to give me my important papers back pertaining to my case and I had to explain to her that I was advised to explore ALL options. After deciding Herman was definitely the lawyer I was looking for, I called him back and politely asked for another meeting. He declined, in a very rude manner I might add, and said he did not want to represent me. He would not tell me why but after talking to colleagues of his, they explained to me the reason why he refused to represent me. The reason every one of them have me, was because I insulted his EGO. This is absolutely absurd for a professional lawyer with the so called "credentials" he supposedly has. Just because I am intelligent and wanted to explore all options and went to get my papers back, he had refused to represent me. I would advise anyone looking for Herman Gaskins P.A to represent you, to think twice, if not three times about your decision. I've been told by many, and when I say many, I mean at least ten lawyers and there consults that his ego and money is the only thing he cares about. He doesn't care about you or your case. He cares about money and his well-being. To be honest, it was the worst consultation I had out of four different lawyers and he seemed like he could care less about the outcome of my trial. So in closing, I would recommend that everyone seek counsel from others because of these reasons. When I met with him he seemed money-hungry, ego-eccentric, and was plain rude. Do not let the dumb and meaningless "this old tractor" commercials fool you. He genuinely does not have a heart and I would DARE to call him a Christian man that "cares about you." Please read this and take my advice. He's rude and seems to not have a heart at all. Think about this before you choose him.

Mr. Gaskins represented me in a very complicated personal injury case several years ago. We not only argued the case multiple times in Superior Court, we went on to the NC Appeals court several time and then on the the NC Supreme court. Mr. Gaskins was very professional in every aspect of this case ,... thus winning it the highest court in our state. If not for his diligence this would not have been the outcome. I highly regard Mr. Gaskins as one of NC finest attorneys.
