D. A. Bass-Frazier

She represented me for literally three weeks. Long story short she told me I wasn’t entitled to any compensation after I was deemed disabled with permanent restrictions! She told me I should seek employment elsewhere and it didn’t matter if it was from a McDonalds after being employed at a ship yard ...for years where I looked to retire. My mom came with me to discuss me wanting to settle my claim and she told me it wasn’t an option which was a lie. She assumed my mother was a friend because of her younger appearance and got upset with her when she asked her again about why I couldn’t settle my claim. She wasn’t aware that I wasn’t incompetent and has researched the tactics she was attempting to use on my case. She went off on me and my mom slammed her pen down on the case, told me she was withdrawing from my case because she stated “I’m not about to represent someone like you, you want me to call your adjuster and just say hey she just want to get paid the rest of her life”! She to us to leave and slammed the door in our face. We were very professional, we didn’t react disrespectfully to her, she just couldn’t control how angry it made her that we demanded her to act like a lawyer and have my best interest at heart and not seeming as if she was working for the company I was up against rather than for me. My first red flag should have been her personally knowing my adjusters and the company I was going up against. I assumed her knowing them personally wouldn’t affect the case at hand and she be able to differentiate the two. I found a new lawyer shortly after, and when I was asked by my new lawyer to contact Ms. Frazier aboit any possible monies I could have owed her, over the phone I was told by her office staff that if anything was owed it would have been sent to the DOL and they showed nothing considering she withdrew and that she only represented me for three weeks. Well when I spoke with her and she learned of me settling the case she claimed I couldn’t and that I was being compensated she stated she’d send over a form detailing what was owed to her later that day. Well several days go by, I contacted her office and emailed her several times just as a reminder of the timely manner I needed the paperwork considering she was holding up me settling my claim. She finally emailed me back and literally charged me hundreds of dollars per email, and or phone call I sent to her just requesting the form.. as if she was stalling me out so she can reach a higher payout by me sending emails with no responses about my request. I was appalled that I ended up paying her almost 3 grand for 3 weeks of representing me. Any information she obtained I sent her, she didn’t have to do anything. She has a very nasty attitude and wasn’t at all considerate of me being a mom of three with a permanent disability at the young age of 28 losing my house and entire livelihood by a company I’d worked almost a decade for with a back injury. I cried in her office after being told I would receive nothing, that I need to get over it and look for another job. AFTER even reviewing my restrictions. I can’t live over 10 pounds, no bending, stooping, or crawling; I can’t walk properly, I’ve had three back surgeries and require a fourth. I literally was in edge and so afraid as a single mother with her representing me. I’ve never met anyone so heartless! I pray no one ever allows her to represent them because she doesn’t have your best interest at heart and will withdraw from your case if you don’t allow her to handle your case the way she wants or disagree with her.
