Horrible; stay away from this lawyer!
I hired him in 2014 after my car accident and he immediately stopped returning my phone calls and emails. He told people details of my case and also referred to my mother with a racist slur. After he was fired with good cause he requested money and after my case settled he asked for more money. Thi...

Replied last April 02, 2017I represented Mr. Camp for about 2 months back in 2014. He doesn't explain why it took him almost 3 years to post this review. I'll go over the facts he leaves out. My firm was one of 5 different law firms that Mr Camp hired to represent him for the same accident. He fired or was fired by 4 of them. When Mr Camp discharged my firm he wrote it was due to a "communication" issue. He delivered a hand written letter that stated "THANK YOU FOR THE HARD WORK AND TIME SPENT ON MY CASE". There was no allegation or mention of any racist slurs or "good cause". In fact ,2 years later in August of 2016 , he contacted my firm by email , seeking to hire us again to do work on his case. We refused. It doesn't make ,if what he now says happened in 2014, for him to try and rehire us in 2016. What has happened is that Mr Camp's claim has settled and the Circuit Court Judge has ordered that a hearing be held to determine how much Mr Camp owes 2 of the firms he hired (including mine and another firm he discharged). It was only then that Mr Camp posted this claim, almost 3 years after the supposed events occurred. I take personally the false and vile claim that I made racist slurs . My paralegal is African-American and my 2 secretaries are bilingual Latinos. I have represented thousands of persons in my 30 year career . Many have been minorities. I just recently was asked by an African -American female attorney to co-counsel a case with her where we were successful in obtaining a 7 figure settlement. I would invite the reader to review the several 5 star reviews here and compare them to one written 3 years after the supposed facts by someone with an obvious interest.
