Richard Stephen Griffin

Initially, I thought I could handle the insurance company on my own but after some consideration, I decided to hire Richard Griffin to handle my auto accident. He made it a point to reach out to me a few times throughout my case and often explained details in my case I would have missed otherwise. My... case manager Amy was always available to talk if I had any questions. To my surprise I ended up settling shortly after I was done with my treatment for more than I was expecting. I'd definitely hire em again.

This is a great law firm and great attorney! I was involved in a auto accident a year ago and the insurance company was difficult to communicate with. I hired Attorney Richard Griffin and his firm of professionals, to handle my case. I was well informed about my case from the beginning. I really felt... like they were working for me to get the settlement I deserved. They are good people who are knowledgeable about personal injury and ultimately I got great results. I would recommend Attorney Richard Griffin and his firm to everyone.

This is how it goes. YOU GO FOR THE HYPE you saw on TV advertisement, call in, set appt, meet w intake who is very nice. BRIEFLY meet w/Griffin. BUT check that folder! There's a card for another atty and his assistant with whom you will NEVER meet unless you want to talk settlement; and IF you do wan...t to talk, you will be told that they will set appt to meet atty PRIOR to settlement mediation so he can PREPARE you. NOT SO. You best get specifics b/c "PRIOR TO" simply means about 2-5 mins before your meeting. At the mediation, which will more than likely be set with opposing counsel OUTSIDE of the board at some mediating attorney's office for their benefit. ALL -opposing counsel, Griffin Law attorney, AND mediator-colluding and conspiring secretly TOGETHER AGAINST YOU and FOR SELF. Fiduciary duty and EVERYTHING said in advertisement went out the window after you signed that contract. Also, when you recognize the scheme, and you do what an employer does when they realize their employee DOES NOT WORK --you FIRE them. Please do not allow any attorney to construe the roles here--you, the claimant IS the employer, the atty is the employee. Oh, but this where it gets good. NOW you know. These attorneys have years of experience making $$$ they did not earn. Because they have learned how to get paid if you keep 'em or fire 'em. See now, the contract you signed, will be filed at the board with a lien stating an exaggerated amount of hours and time spent on your case. They will say you owe them thousands of $$$ for work they did not do---hence, the reason you terminated their [lack of ] services anyway. Oh yeah, you better google the attorney you are placed with, he might just be an attorney w/experience in a TOTALLY different area than workers' comp. You know? Like a Divorce attorney. The one he turned my case over to. If I wanted an ol' atty, I could have just gone on-line and played pin-the-tail on the donkey for any atty in any field. That explained why he skirted my questions, did not know the recent legislative changes that I inquired about, would not respond to emails and voice messages, did not fight for me at the settlement table, as a matter of fact the hole setup for that meeting was planned to benefit them, the time, the place, the way it went, the CODE he gave opposing counsel for ending offers, etc., etc.. After praying about the matter, God said, "Sign-it." I as angry w/God b/c It was not in my best interest to do so. But I obeyed. After signing the settlement, seven days later, the Lord said, "Go to the board." I had no idea why I was to do so. I obeyed. While waiting for the board to open, I began to research stipulated settlements and learned I could rescind that settlement by filing a consent to withdraw (no atty will ever inform you this). I stayed w/Griffin not wanting to be there. A few months later, DAY BEFORE Surgery, I had to speak w/Mr Griffin re his atty and case mgr's behavior & mishandling my case. To no avail. They got worse, but still thought I would be fool enough to allow them to talk settlement again. I told them I would but watched their actions. No settlement discussion date had been set, I still supposedly had counsel, but my wkly TTD checks and two mileage checks had not made it to me yet were showing on-line as having been issued. Note: my checks always came to me. My claim was being paid prior to getting representation so they got no money from my wkly checks. I emailed them time and time again re late checks...to no avail. It all became clear...they were working in cahoots with opposing counsel and the adjuster to withhold a month's worth of checks and mileage checks issued some sixty days prior in an attempt to make me financially desperate so that when they finally got me to the settlement table again, I'd accept ANY offer. In a nutshell, these greedy lawyers have learned not to work and still get paid. The Lord of hosts is dealing with all of them, GA and elsewhere. Veronica Hill
