This guy wrote the book on how to avoid clients

As of today it’s been 4 long years with my ongoing case. I’ve never talked to him once for 3 years until the day of the deposition hearing. I’ve called to speak to him and get a voicemail instead. And don’t get me started on miss Melissa! She is the worst! And to put the cherry on top my chiropractor... bills are fraudulent AF!!!! I’m fighting my chiropractor bill as we speak because I’ve never used any chiropractor with my case. Plus I’ve received one mri treatment and they’re charging me $10k.... What????

WORST LAWYER EVER

I am a client of Neil Flit in GA. He has gotten a settlement from the insurance company about 1 year ago and refuses to pay me and the Doctors (one bill is less than$150.00.He has not negotiated with the other Dr). I can't contact him by phone nor email and his office is always locked. No one an...swers the phones and he won't return my calls when I try to check my case status. He should be disbarred. This, to me, is incompetence at it's finest.

Carlton

All the negative reviews about Mr Flit are true. Yes they will send someone out to you promptly and you won't be able to contact them about your case. It's been over 3.5 years and nothing. He dropped my case. This is not my first review about Mr Flit. They must have a way to erase them because m...y last review was very detailed.

It took time but my Claim finally settled

I've known Neil Flit for almost 15 years and he is a good guy. Several years after I met him, I was involved in a minor car accident where someone rear ended me at a traffic light. Their insurance company was NOT responsive and did not offer any where near fair compensation. I contacted Neil's firm t...o go to work on my file. I was warned NOT to expect immediate payment because the other driver's company was one of "the worst in the industry". It took almost 3 years but finally settled and after all expenses I came out reasonable whole. I think the reason why so many folks are concerned about this firm is that they do not realize many insurance companies will drag out claims forever. Neil is a good guy who will get it done but he can only move along at the speed of justice. I understand he is taking fewer new cases until any remaining backlog of older cases are fully adjudicated and clients are made whole.

DO NOT HIRE - You will not get justice

I had a car accident on June 30, 2015 and contacted Neil Flit after seeing a TV commercials. Flit's office sent someone to my house that was inappropriately dressed for business. However, we gave them all the information they requested. Several weeks later I received a letter stating they would re...present me. I sent them all the documents they requested. I was told Gary Tates would be the case manager. I emailed Gary Tates every couple of weeks for an update for three years. There were many times I had no reply or it would take weeks to get a reply to be told "its in litigation". July 2018 after being told this case was in litigation again I told him that I wanted an update other than its in litigation. In August of 2018 I was sent an email, voice mail and text stating that Mr. Flit wanted me to come in for a deposition. At this time he asked if I would have back surgery and he would refer me to someone on his medical team. I was told not to worry about the bills because once the case was settled everything would be paid. He said this would get me a settlement of $300,000. I told him I would not have back surgery. It was then his whole demeanor changed. Flit said the case had to be dismissed and refiled because he had the wrong county, but not to be alarmed because it happens all the time. He said this process would take a couple of more years and I didn't need to constantly email for an update because they know their job. The next time I heard from Flit was December 2018 saying he wouldn't represent me any longer and I had to find a new attorney. I called several attorneys and was told by all that they wouldn't touch my case because statute of limitations was June 2017. I called the insurance company of the woman that rear ended me for information and they said they had received a notice of the case being filed just days before the statute of limitations expired. The next time they heard from him was in September 2018 he had the case dismissed and never filed again. The last contact he had with them was to tell them he was not representing me. After a couple of weeks and many phone calls I found an attorney that was not able to represent me but she did refer me to a company that has taken my case and has now filed the correct documents in the correct county. I will never do business with anyone associated with this law firm and I will never recommend Neil Flit to anyone, not even a mortal enemy!
