Johnny A. Pineyro

For the last 18 months his office has been working on my deceased husbands slip and fall case, I think I was called once after they received all the paperwork and photos they said they needed, although they promised to keep me informed of their progress with the case. I had to phone them, every 4 mo...nths or so, to find out what was happening. Of course, every time I called, they said they had been planning to call me in the next few days. There was always an excuse for not calling earlier, the last one being office reorganization. A new paralegal was being assigned to my case, and he would call me within the next week. I didn't hear anything for 4 weeks, and finally called back. I could never get connected to the paralegal. Whenever I called, he always happened to be too busy, and I was connected to his voice mail to leave a short message, and assured he would call me right back. When I finally was able to talk with someone 2 weeks later, it was a different paralegal again. He said the problem with the case was the company that owned the business where the fall occurred, was ignoring their attempts to get any information. They were not saying the fall occurred, they were not say the fall did not occur, they were just not responding at all. He said Mr. Pineyro was going to review the case in the next few days and decide how to proceed. He would then call me back and let me know. One week later I received 2 identical letters, one by regular mail, and one registered mail. They informed me he had decided not to handle my case and that I should contact another law firm. No further information as to why he made that decision. I called the office and again was told to leave a voice mail for the paralegal. I did, explaining I just wanted to understand why he had made that decision so I could better decide if I wanted to try again with a different attorney. I also wanted to know if I could get any of the paperwork and photos back to give another attorney. That was a week and a half ago. I have not heard back. What really confuses me, is that the business the fall occurred at is owned by a large corporation. Is this all they have to do to avoid a lawsuit, ignore the attorneys attempts at getting information, knowing that the attorney will just give up if it isn't a multi million dollar case? For someone who claims to be an "aggresive attorney" on his website, he certainly doesn't act like one. If he didn't want to handle the case, it should have made that decision a lot sooner than 18 months! I would nor reccomend John Pineyro Law Firm to anyone! What a waste of time!
