No More TV Lawyers For Me

My family and I were in a head on collision in December 2012. The other driver was at fault and given a citation. I chose a lawyer from TV to handle my case. Once I retained him, he did absolutely nothing so I chose another lawyer. The second lawyer did nothing in 45 days (no medical treatment sc...heduled, no car rental, nothing). I chose a third lawyer (yes, once again from TV). I explained to him what I had been thru and he assured me that my case was top priority. Sixty days went by, nothing from this law firm either! I was finally referred to The Suggs Law Firm. Within 4 days, Attorney Suggs had a medical check in my hand...wow!! Thanks to his efforts, my family and I are no longer homeless. Yes, we were homeless due to this car accident and my inability to go back to work. It is obvious to me that the lawyers I chose from TV either had too many cases or did not take my case serious. I thank God that a friend told me about Mr. Suggs.

Costly Lesson Learned

I was in a recent car accident and the other driver was at fault. The driver was charged with DUI. I was referred to Attorney Suggs. Unfortunately, thinking I could handle this on my own, I trusted the other insurance company. To my surprise, they denied my claim. I couldn't believe it! The in...surance adjuster acted like he wanted to help me. After three weeks of going back and forth, I called Attorney Suggs back. I expected him to say, "I told you so!" But he did not. He was very professional and agreed to work on my case. He and I met the same day. Within 48 hours, the at-fault insurance company changed their entire tone when Attorney Suggs got involved. I almost screwed my self by allowing the other insurance company to act like they were befriending me. Never again! Lesson learned the hard way. Thank you Attorney Suggs.

My perception of lawyers has changed...

As a guy who generally does not like lawyers, I have to say retaining with Mr. Suggs was a good decision for our family. He helped us with our car wreck settlement and would not back down from insurance company’s initial offer. He was truly on our side every step of the way.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2006.

Review Panel Reprimand issued in GA, 2006

updated on 08/10/2012

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case, the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Eldridge’s comment:

“unfortunately, this reprimand was made by the opposing Attorney because I would not back down from defending my client.”
