This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Just sign the dotted line

I was in a near fatal car wreck with a drunk driver, i was incapacitated and my family used hasty pope. Mr. Davies was the attorney and was so vague. Never did he explain to me that if I settled a auto insurance settlement my chances of any future restitution are void. I was critically injured, ne...ver did I get any type of counseling as to what would happen if I settled. He took 40k and left me with 60k. Not enough to even cover my bills. I do not recommend. I signed my settlement agreement in the parking space of the canton office. Sad…

Honest and Very Upfront

Mr. Davies was very compassionate and understanding of my case and what we were going through. He and his team were very helpful and answered any questions we had very quickly about the process and what our next steps were.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

HONESTY, INTEGRITY AND A STRONG WORK ETHIC

Over the course of my 7 decades on earth and my half century as a private businessman I have had the opportunity to engage a number of attorneys and law firms, usually with satisfactory results and moderate financial cost. Few of those choices have proven to be as successful and well managed as my c...hoice of Hasty, Pope and Associates. One of the most important considerations in my hiring criteria was that I did not want a “Billboard Barrister” – a firm who spends all their time soliciting new clients through highway billboards and slick advertising campaigns. I wanted a firm which would represent me with honesty and integrity. I chose to be represented by a firm which values truth and facts, a firm which does not cut corners or take shortcuts, a firm which would act honorably from beginning to end. With each and every one of these requirements, Hasty, Pope and Davies met and exceeded my expectations. From my initial interview through the entire litigation process I have been impressed with the level of professionalism, diligence and attention to detail exhibited by all of the members of the firm, from the front office staff to the partners themselves. Litigation can be a protracted commitment, requiring careful attention to all of the details and variables and an awareness of the actions of opposing counsel. From day one the entire firm has been geared to providing calm, rational and skillful assistance and guidance, for which I will be forever grateful. Throughout my case I had the pleasure of being represented by Dustin Davies who has recently been named as a partner in the firm. Dustin is a skilled attorney with a pleasant personality and an intense devotion to detail. Dustin was always available to answer questions and provide clear insight into the status and progress of the case. Thanks to constant diligence, research and preparation by Dustin Davies, when the time came to negotiate a resolution prior to trial, Dustin was knowledgeable and well informed. He understood the complexity of the case, the extent of my injuries, the nature of the pain and changes I faced. Negotiations were handled in a calm, rational and professional manner, with none of the anger and hostility we are told is normal by the Hollywood producers and Network representatives. Each side had ample opportunity to present facts and consequences, and to consider the evidence presented by the opposing side. We were able to reach a satisfactory negotiated settlement prior to going to trial and I can move forward with my life, knowing that the resolution was fair and reasonable. Although I will live the rest of my life with metal rods holding my back together and diminished ability to engage in activities I once found enjoyable, I can at least put this episode behind me and move forward knowing that I received a fair and reasonable settlement for those injuries. It is my pleasure to recommend Dustin Davies, and the firm of Hasty, Pope & Davies.
