Replied last February 18, 2013This client tried for several months to resolve his claim against the Darlington and/or the City of Atlanta. In sum, his car was damaged by a drain in the Darlington driveway. He tried to make claims against both the City of Atlanta and the Darlington and neither would accept responsibility for the drain. He hired me for just $500 to see if I could make headway since he was unable to obtain results. First, I filed an ante litem letter with Atlanta. Atlanta would have delayed him past the statute of limitations and without an ante litem he would have been out of luck. The Darlington sent me their insurance information. As such two things were accomplished he was unable to do. Yet, neither would enter into settlement negotiations. I advised a lawsuit was needed and indicated more fees would be necessary. Suddenly, I was terminated and a credit card payment reversed. And this client calls me names, really? I leave him to his own karma.
