Worried friend

My friend isn't sure if she should hire Scott. So I looked at reviews because she had a bad accident and still she is in ICU but because I see good reviews but a couple of not so good ones especially on the communication part and taking it upon himself to settle with out client approval has well has... they dropped clients and don't tell them right away or sell there cases for his own benefits it's scary. Iam scare to refer him to my friend especially knowing she isn't the most say type of woman were she understand anything on cases and it's easy to fool her. She needs someone that understands she is kind of slow in understand certain things and will look out for her best interests because it's easy to fool her and not try to fight hard for her and she would believe easily if they don't give her much cause she is like that and her accident it's bad she has a very good case and money wise a lot to get but needs a lawyer that is very caring and really will so for there clients not just for them. If anyone reads this and can give me advice on what they believe about his law firm please let me know. I don't want to send her outhere blind and thrm take advantage of her humble self. Thanks

Very Disappointed

These Representatives talk to you so nicely at first they are very convincing in telling you what they can do for you and they after you hire them not even a good communication you can get, They said the case was unsuccessful we couldn't get a settlement, I ask them to send me proof of this and I'm s...till waiting until day.. How do I know that we didn't get the settlement, do.I have something to show as proof of this none.. Really sorry I hired them and I had so many options...

Avoid..

Hired this lawyer in June of 2015. I was rear ended bad. I never spoke to my actual lawyer though, only his office. After about a month I was dropped because the girl that hit me didn't have medical coverage. Why did it take this long to find out and so what? Come to find out they used all of my Geic...o medical coverage. Geico dropped me as well. I thought I was hiring a lawyer to represent me and get my medical bills taken care of. They didn't take care of ANYTHING. Their contract states no matter what happens I am not responsible for anything out of pocket. 3 years later and I am still trying to get an MRI paid for. The office lacks when it comes to communication. You can never get a hold of anyone. AVOID!

Stay away from this law firm they will steal your settlement or cut it in half without even going to court for you!!!

They settle my case without my consent and took 48.35% when I asked to speak with the attorney who settle my case without my consent. I was told by one of his Paralegal he does not have time to speak with me however, speaking with me it's a waste of his time and money.
