POOR EXCUSE FOR A WORKER'S COMPENSATION LAWYER

I AM SPEAKING ABOUT MY EXPERINCE WITH THIS LAWYER THEY CALL JOSEPH ODATO. FIRST ON THE LIST IS NOT LACK OF COMMUNICATION BUT NO COMMUNICATION AT ALL. WHICH WAS THE MAIN ISSUE I HAD WITH HIM. WHEN I CALLED TO CHECK ON THE UPDATE OF MY CASE I NEVER GOT AN ANSWER ABOUT MT CASE. HE NEVER SET ME DOWN AND ...GUIDED ME THROUGH MY CASE. NEVER DISCUSSED THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR CASE. THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE ENTITLED TO CONCERNING YOUR CASE. HE LFET ME IN THE BLIND SO WHAT I DID I TRIED TO WORK IT OUT WITH HIM ONE ON ONE THAT DIDN'T WORK. I THEN WENT TO THE MORGAN AND MORGAN CLIENT EXPERINCE HOTLINE THEY PUT ME ON THE RUN AROUND. I TOLD THEM I WANTED HIM OFF MY CASE THEY SAID OK TOOK MY INFO AND SAID THEY WILL SUBMIT IT. KEEP IN MIND I BEEN TRYING TO FIRE HIM SINCE LAST YEAR 2021. COME TO FIND OUT THE HOTLINE WASN'T SENDING MY REQUEST IN. I KEPT CALLING AND ON FEB. 7 2022 THEY SAY THEY PUT IT IN AND IT WAS DENIED AND I FOUND THAT OUT BY CALLING TO SEE WHY IT WAS DENIED. BUT IN MAY OF 2022 HE FILED A MOTION TO WITHDRAW FROM MY CASE AND IT WAS APPROVED. BUT IT'S FUNNY HOW FOR MONTHS I BEEN TRYING TO FIRE THIS ODATO GUY AND I COULDN'T BUT SOON AS HE DOES IT IT GETS APPROVED. FROM MY EXPERINCE WITH HIM HE IS NOT FOR THE PEOPLE. THIS IS SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED TO JOSEPH ODATO NO ONE ELSE AT MORGAN AND MORGAN. IF YOU DECIDE TO HIRE MORGAN AND MORGAN FOR A WORKER'S COMP CASE DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT HIRE THAT JOSEPH ODATO GUY. YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH NO RESULTS AND MAD. REVIEW IS WRITTEN BY FONY'A CHISHOLM 2022.
