Posted by Ashley Black | December 28, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Biggest Mistake Of My Life

I trusted this lawyer to help me, but he treated me unfairly instead. I hired this firm in May of 2021 to help me with a mold problem. They submitted the civil suit September of 2022, and was final by November 2023. This lawyer showed no compassion towards my situation, and did not fight for what was... deserved. Almost 2 months after the settlement, and I still haven’t received my check. This lawyer continues to ignore my calls and he has truly made this journey horrible for me. The time lost and mental distress that this has caused me is unfair, and it hurts to know that this lawyer just doesn’t care.
