Joseph Odato

I've heard so much about Morgan & Morgan my brother recommended that I use this firm in my workers compensation case that where my injuries ended my career as a first responder. I had hired a firm but I was having some doubts. I mean this is my life and my career ended abrubtly after 20 plus years ...of service because of no fault of my own. so I called Morgan & Morgan to get another opinion. First thing we made an appointment for a phone conference, and the day of the appointment I got all my paper work out got myself prepared and then I waited and waited and waited no call no show. However, Joseph Adato did finally call me on a Saturday morning, and of course I missed the call. So, later in the day I realized I missed a call from Morgan and Morgan. I called back intoduced myself and began informing him about my workers comp case. I explaind that I had hired a worker's comp attorney several months ago but I just wasn't confident that i made the right choice and I owed it to myself to at least talk to another attorney so why not go to the best I thought. Right away I detected that something was off and he did not appear to have much interest in my case. When i was done explaining I commented what do think? And he said "what is it that you think i can do for you?" I'm like I don't know I called Morgan & Morgan so you could tell me what I should do...your the attorney, like maybe convincing me that I made the right call..maybe that you know the workers compensation system like the back of your hand.. I asked you if you could explain the workers comp system to me and your comment was I cannot give you any legal advice and as a matter of fact you told me that you could not give me any legal advice six times in our conversation I never asked you for legal advice I wanted to know what Morgan & Morgan could do for me I wanted understand please explain the workers comp system to me.. Anyway my wife was sitting next to me, and heard the conversation, she just shook her head and said just hang up honey and lets not waste time he's not the one. How disappointed i felt at the time because my future isnt as clear and I was sure hoping to get that Morgan & Morgan for the people attitude but the attitude I got was a shameful. I ended up going with another attorney who actually was very interested in my case and interested in helping my family. I'm not going to say stay away from Morgan and Morgan but my gut told me joseph adato was not the the attorney I was going to trust in what could be the most important decision I make for my families future.
