Posted by Kimberly McDonald | April 12, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Personal Injury Lawyer failed to represent me in a court of law.

I hired Michael Fenimore to defend me in a slip and fall accident that happened in a hotel. During the this time, he did not contact me with updates on my case. I would call his office and was not able to talk with him. I would leave messages on his voicemail and he would not return my calls. Afte...r sending him detailed information on what happened and giving him a spreadsheet on the course of treatment for my injury, he failed to accurately state these facts in the demand letter he sent out. The most damaging misconception was that the hotels insurance agent repeatedly stated that I lost my balance, and no where in any written or verbal statement did I ever say that. I made this perfectly clear to this attorney that I slipped and fell of a wet floor, and he failed to correct that in the demand letter. Even though he stated that the case will most likely go to court, he failed to bring it to litigation. I ended up settling one tenth of what the demand letter asked for, and I got only 30% of that, because I thought I had no other choice. It turns out I could have hired another lawyer to take his place.

Ms. McDonald: Your review just came to my attention regarding the handling of your case. While I cannot respond to your specific allegations due to confidentiality issues, I can assure you that your case was handled 100% properly and that the settlement was entered into with your express consent after agreeing that settlement was in your best interest. The settlement conversation took place in the presence of my legal assistant who can confirm your unequivocal agreement to the settlement. Having said that, our goal is to always strive for excellence and have our clients satisfied with both the handling and outcome of their case. In furtherance of this goal, I would ask that you please contact me directly so that we can discuss the issues addressed in your review. I am confident that after discussing these issues directly, you will be satisfied that the result achieved in your case was not only an excellent result but also in your best interest as you expressed at the conclusion of your case. I think a direct phone conversation will serve to clarify any issues you may have regarding your case. I look forward to speaking with you and addressing your concerns.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
