Unprofessional and Passive in Case Resolution

I asked for an update on my case and he responded that he and his team were "evaluating". Weeks go by with me following up via email. No answer. When I messaged him today that I wanted a response or I was going to review him, THAT made Luis respond, "Thanks for the threat." He states that h...e recommended me to go get medical procedures. I had gone to 2 doctor visits upon the firm's referral. The first one suggested that I get injections. I said OK. Time went by and nothing was scheduled. Then they had me come in again for a redundant visit that was just like the previous one. (All-the-while the legal firm is probably getting kick-backs for running up a medical bill and referrals.) I had finally had it with the place they referred me to. Although I have been going to the chiropractor the firm had sent me to for OVER A YEAR. The person who hit me has $50k in liability coverage. They talked a BIG game at the start regarding that number and going for the max. Then a settlement offer came in for $10k and they folded. In my opinion Luis and his team take the easy settlement and do not take cases to trail. Just from what I have seen after taking TWO cases to them.

Research Attorneys

I hired this attorney and has been dealing with him for years for couple accident cases. I can say, "Do not listen to the hype he puts in his presentations to gain your trust look at the real facts." The real law states," you never can get more than you pay for" in lei-mans terms under uninsured mot...orist coverage if your policy is 25k then are you are entitled too is 25k unless assets are involved then you must sue the party. This attorney had me waiting for 2yrs to resolve an accident case due to his continuous moves from law firm to law firm and when doing that it will become a loss to the client, He then accepted the case at the new firm and in 2 mos later the firm decided not to handle the case he had supposedly been working on. I have 122 text messages from this attorney back and forth and also documents scanned and sent to me in which I have kept to present in another matter. Basically, what I am conveying is too research your attorney before hire and get facts not fictions. The result to the 2yr case is still pending and with another firm. Not to discredit this attorney maybe good with other cases but I would not use again.
