Please do not choose Them.

I am a single father of a five-year-old Little girl and also pay child support on another daughter. This law firm and their reckless and inept Doctor financially wrecked my family. Choosing this law firm was the worst possible mistake I could've made. Please do not make the same mistake. I was victim...ized more by Burnetti Pa's Jeff Diamond and Sarah and their Doctors than the actual person that caused the accident. At least he was honest and admitted to what he did. The driver that hit me told the police he was looking at his phone, and another driver with a dash cam sent me a copy of the accident on video. AND THEY STILL MANAGED TO RUIN MY CASE. And when I asked them to address the problems that was going on in the case they told me I was asking them to do something unethical or illegal. Since when is asking someone to do their job a reason for such allegations. I sat around over 6 weeks not working thinking the matter was taken care of and further running my family into to debt to get by based on counting on Burnetti Pa. The doctor's office called Physicians Group on Himes Ave that they sent me to completely wrecked the case over a simple mistake. And instead of owning up to the mistake and correcting it they all left me and my daughter to suffer for their wrong. And I had to catch the mistake, the attorney didn't even know. I have 3 college degrees and I assure you I can tell when a Dr tells me to go back to work or not. Physicians Group on Himes Ave do not care one single bit if you and your family get your money as long as they get their medical bills paid. There has been constant legal problems for Physicians group and them taking advantage of people through it's founders the 1800 Ask Gary and 411 pain networks. Google 411 pain and Physicians group. This is who Burnetti aligns themselves with. YOU ARE JUST A NUMBER TO THEM BOTH. They both want to run up medical bills that is what they do. The only thing that Burnetti PA was aggressive about was getting me to sign away my case to them and from there they did nothing. A month after accepting my case they still did not have the police report and I had to go get it myself and fight with the insurance company myself to get them to take liability for the case. And even though their investigator and Jeff Diamond told me they would help me with my car repairs if I needed it that turned out to be a lie just to get me to sign with their firm. Later they informed me they do not handle that. Lol. That's unethical and illegal. This firm has caused my family a lot of undue stress please do not make the same mistake. The firm and the doctor's office knew that me and my daughter just lost our best friend that was like family to cancer the prior week and they still could not be bothered to return a call or do their job and left me suffering all holiday weekend. Worst law firm ever. I was trying to buy a home for me and my little girl and now I am pawning things to pay rent with no relief in sight BECAUSE OF THEM. BEWARE!! PS That Dr Office employee was so rude to my 5 year old lil girl the first time I brought her I didn't have the heart to make her go back with me. I had to cancel appointments to not have to bring her back. My kid wouldn't stop bringing it up, seriously.

  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
